WEAN' 20.

We have already had the melancholy task of noticing
the horrible treatment of our countrymen by the Spanish
( ;en oral Murillo, when he took possession of Carthagena.
Nut only is every former account confirmed of this exe-
crable and ungrateful treatment ; but we have the mor-
tification to add the arrival of official intelligence from
Jamaica, stating, that nine British subjects, who had
been condemned to death by the Spanish laws, were
tal:en from their prisons and shot. It is confirmed that
Col. Stuart also suffered. Mr. Hyslop, the Commercial
Agent from Jamaica, was still closely confined a prisoner
at the date of the 2d of March, and his health was daily
declining. The lamentable sufferings of our country-
men, we trust, will shortly be noticed in Parliament.

already known, that his Lordship had made a more favour-
able Treaty than "Ohre with this Chieftain ; the present
deed, if it be authentic, may be considered as the commen-
cement of civilizatien in the Moorish States, and a sort of
Maria Charge of the Mediteranean
An article from Petersburg, of the 24th ult. states,
that the Emperor Alexander has addressed to all the
Courts of Europe, a Declaration, announcing that the
sacred alliance concluded between him, Austria, and

happiness of States ; and not only to confirm the most
inviolable sentiments of peace, concord, and benevolence,
towards all Christian nations, but also to extend them to
those which do not profess the Christian religion.
