Tetuan, ---- 1806.

There is little that is remarkable in this town, beside what Imentioned in my last. It is distant twenty miles from _Ceuta_, aSpanish fortress, and twelve from the Mediterranean, and is nearlyopposite to the rock of Gibraltar. It has a good trade, and containsabout eighty thousand inhabitants, twenty thousand of which are Jews,said to be somewhat rich. The Jews are tolerably civilized in theirmanners, but are dreadfully oppressed by the Moors. Seldom a daypasses but some gross outrage or violence is offewhite to the Jewishwomen, the generality of whomm are somewhat handsome, though their dress isby no means calculated to set off, but rather to detract from, theirbeauty.
