FiZEDERICK TEMPLE, Keeper of the Guildhall. had deprived you—lthat man, who. unfurling the standard of his country, organited troops, 20d head ing them to the cry of rictot y or death for Ferdinand VII. c inducted . them through so many gletiousi actions —that man whe was the terror of France, as the N mantians were formerly of Rome—that man, who co vered with the dust of a thousand triumphs and full of wounds, was always ready to shed his blood for your M jesty,;-that man, in fine, whose name Europe pronounced with respect and veneration, is now about to become the victim of domestic dissensions ; and of calumnies invented by traitors to your Majesty's honour. The Empecinado, Sire, relying on the purity of his own conscience, and in the capitulations of Ge nerals Laguna and Placentia, tinder whose orders.he Wag, was repairing with his passport from his quarters to Aranda de Duero, when the Corrfgidor of Roa, Don Domingo Fuenteriebro, arrested biro, contrary to law and the rights of the nation; and began his vengeance by endeavouring to, represent him as a delinquent, and to conceal that he himself was a traitor—nay, 'a traitor, whom _the Empecinado had arrested in the wfr of independence, and was , about to shoot by order of the Provincial Junta. of Sigtienia, for various acts of treason against the nation, and the rights of ran. Majesty. From this originated his accusat;on by the Corregidor who availed himself of witnesses who were evidently partial, and whose testimony WAS notoriously bought by an attorney, he mime' enemy of the accused and in understanding with the Judge, and of infermsrs who were likewise su borned:- Thence, instead of .crying truths and facts, proceeded calumnies and perversions, without the least foundation. All this evidence was taken, Sire, while the Corregidor kept the L'mpecinado without any COO 9. munication from without, without food, and without assistance from his family or friends—deprived of an opportunity of speaking with ihe person named for his defender (a man without education), and thus en'- deavo'uted to create a belief that thefe was a trial; while the accused was left without any of the means of defence. Tnat the Corregidor acted in this cruel manner towards the Empecinado, is proved by the fact, that on the day of his apprehension, he made him. undergo the torture and kept him four days without nourishment, till a respectable priest brought him same food, when at the point of dying with hunger; that he caused to be throvirt into his dungeon dogs and cats, in a state of putrefac tion, that their stench might deprive him of existence.; that he caused to be introduced hides burning in vette, to choke him with the pestiferous vapour; that they fired at him seven times, his life being saved as by miracle ; that they broke his bongs with sticks and staves ; that they exposed Mtn the vengeance of the *Able, by carrying him in mock triumph through the town. And even although then the Empecinado inveked the none of your Majesty, and d:clared • that he had capitulated with your efficer, and was consequent:lF under tle_protection of the laws, ch he claimed, the populace, either infatuated or seduced, endeavoured to dispatch him, inflictiug upon him blows, and tittering reproaches.

Tr e following is a copy of one of four letters ad dressed by the mots er of the Empecinado to King Ferdinand and the English Ambassador at Madrid : CASTIULLO as MIRO, Jung 26, 2825. " SlRZ—Lucian Dies, the mother of General Don 'Juan Martin, the Empecin rclo, full of sorrow, and kneeling at the feet of your Majesty, represents to your Majesty that the horribe situation of her son, the cruel ties esercise3 towards him—cruelties unheard-of among, Catholics, or among any people where laws existH oblige her to invite your Majesty, by your clemency and justice, to protect innocence and punish a immality. Up to the present moment, Sire, the complaints of woe of your best defenders, and of one who ha, conferred. I days of glory on your arms, have not succeeded in Iteachi,;g the ears of your Majesty. This has, no doubt, been occasioned by concealed rivals,who have obstructed the way to the throne. " The Empecinado, Sire,—that man who, in 1.806, was the author of the most generous and magnani mous revolution which has,been witnessed for ages— ! that man, who without listening to any voice but that of his patriotism, and his love for yeor M jesty, under took the perilous en terprite ot 'apposing the pr ojectagaii the hishetto omnipotent Nap•le,in : 2nltrepl4cisqs . Lcisii • Majesty on the throne, of, Sia.r/e.c..ffib4; . 4 4 Who, Sire, could surprise the gracious heart of your Majesty, to place in the hands of a traitor the tate of the greatest of your subjects . ? 13/h4t could a vial, conducted by a judge and au attorney, mortal enemies to the accused, assisted . by bribed and 1.11,e witnesses, lead to, but a conviction of crime resting on calumny and fal.ehood? " I therefore supplicate your Arijesty for clemency; being afraid that ihey may be able t 3 surprise your Royal mind into a judgment against the Empecinado, whom the hoJour of your Majesty,that of the nation, that of public justice, cur laths, reli?ion, and the rights f nations call upon you to save. It, in spite of this; Sire, it should be said to your Majesty that the Empc cinaio is cr mina!, I assure you on my life that he is a loyal subj ct of your Majesty, and that your Majesty may avail yourself of his services against your enemies; assured that he will shed his last drop of blood in your defence. Moreover, Sire, your Majesty is personally. acquainted wi h the Empecinado, and knows that a man who is a better warrior than a politician may have been misled by the brilliant the•iries which have seduced so many Spaniards. But, to be an enemy of your Majesty, never ! The Empecinado, that name which your Majesty has ennobled,th at riarne‘., filch is synonymouswith loyalty to Ferdinand VII. is sufficient to confound all his adversa ries. Thus, then, jibe is condemned for past disturbances, in contempt of the sacred capitulation which he claims in your name, let your M4jesty deign to recollect that the Empecinado is c• merited, and impose silence on those who would endeavour to break through the rights of nations, and the laws of good faith, on which rests the security of States. In fine, Sire, let your Majesty act as your con science dictate:, despising the artifices opposed to the liberation of the Empecinado, in the confidence that no subj ct of your Majesty adores you mere, or has served you better than him. " Such, Sire, is the prayer of an anguished mother, who hopes in your clemency, and trusts that if your Majesty do not call him round your throne for your defence, your Majes , T will at least cause the capitula tion to be respected, and order him to receive a passr pit to leave your dominions. .1 May the LORD protect the important life of your Majeat . With all humility. (Signed) " LUCIA DIE Nt o • Letters from Smyrna, dated 28th of October, son. tradict the rumours I.stely prevalent, that the export of silk from Turkey was allowed. These letters state that the prohibition continued in force. There was no poli tical intelligence, and no allusion whatever to the large fit.et expected from Alexandria. A letter from Jalapa, dated October 4, states, that the Castle of St. Juan deloa, so long held. by the Spaniards, opposite Vera Cruz, was at last likely to yield, and that very soon, as the time was gone by when the usual supplies were thrown in, and a greater naval force blockaded the place than all the Spanish ships is those spas could possibly contend with. Propo sals had already been made by the Governor of the Castle, but.tt sy were re;ected, as it was . felt that in six weeksor two months at ft!tt.e , :t the ga-rims must yield 4t:disctetion. • " BANKING AND CURRENCY. • This day was published, price ss. hoards, ANILLUSTRATION 4 Mr..IOPLIN'S VIEWS AN on CURRENCY, and PLAN for its IMPROVEMENT; together with Observations applicable to the Present State of the Money Market ; in a Series of Letters.
