In conveying these sentiments from a society to which I have

rage inflicted on him by the Govesoment, and sanctioned by ths
Rouse of Coninions, has. I am SUusa satisfied every candid and
generous Englishman, that his conduct in the transaction alluded

life which have so pre-etninentl j contributed to exalt the diame-
ter of a British officer in the opinion of surrounding nations, and.

Mudrid papers to the 28th ult. have arrived by
express. On the 2ltlt an extraordinary cornier had
arrived from Pampeluna, with intelligence of the •
20th, which unfortunately proves that the hopes
conceived of the restoration of tranquillity welts
fillacious. Ott die 19th, some very disagreeable
scenes took place. The affair began with a dinner,
attended by the military in a coffee.house, at which
songs were sung, end expressions used, which have
always been considered insulting to the people of
Navarre, and which have for that reason been pro-
hibited. In consequence of this disturbance, the
Alcalde repaired to the spot, but was grossly in:
suited, and some students set up the cry of " Death
to Riego!" The officers and serjcants who were in
the coffee-house immediately sallied out, sabring all
they met. Many peasants and militiamen being
scattered about the streets, a brisk fire of musketry
took place.
