Of the soreness of Spain Upon this subject, we
have also further evidence in the following ex-
tract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at
Barbadoes, dated July 5, 1818 :—" By the ar-
rival of a schooner from St. Thomas's, infor-
mation has been received of the Spaniards hav-
ing taken possession of the brig Eclipse, Woa.
MINGTON, of this place, which vessel sailed from
this for St. Domingo • few weeks ago. Captain
WORMINGTOR had been taken to the city of St.
Domingo, thrown into a dungeon; and loaded witli
heavy irons, the brig dismantled, ■nd the whole of
the crew put in confinement; The plea for this
outrageous insult to the British flag is, that they
found two guns mounted on deck, and biz or eight
dismounted in the hold, as ballast, and therefore
concluded she was an Insurgent privateer—a Spa-
niard having come forward and swore that Captain
W. had taken his vessel a few weeks before, mid
kept him • prisoner 14 days. The Scansandcr
frigate has been dispatched by Admiral HARVEY to
demand an explanation from the Spanish Governor."

A letter from Perpignan, in the Paris Papers,
dated the Ist of August, states--" We feel autho-
rized to contradict the reports of several Journais.
respecting the death of General CArroisos at Bar..
celona."—Continaally in communication with the
above town, we certainly should have received the
information first; but the letters recently recriveil,
so far front noticing such an event. do not even
allude to the slightest alteration iu his health'.
On Friday last a most serous party riot took
place iu the fair of Dromaragh, wherein several
persons were badly wounded ; a constable who at-
tempted to interfere on the commencement of the
riot, was knocked down by the blow of a btolle till
the back, and every attempt to suppress the dis-
turbance was for some time ineffectual. And we
have further the regret to state, that the spirit of
mischief did not subside here, as in the course of
that night the house of JAMES CBUIKSHANES, of
Moneynaban, in the parish of Dromaragh, was at-
tacked by a party of armed men, who burned his
house to the ground ; himself, his wife, and six pi.
children were awakened by the flames, and on
unlocking the door, they had the horror to film it
fastened on the outside; after repeated efforts th,y
succeeded in forcing it open, when the wife i.f
CRUIIESHAMILS, with an infant in her arms, was
knocked down by the ruffians who surrounded the
house. The unfortunate family, however, made
their escape to the neighbouring houses, frosts what
was intended to have been a second Wildgau.e
Lodge business. The occupation of a small rem or
land, from which the former tenant had been ejecti,i,
was the crime which provoked this outrar.—
