PARIS, APRIL 3.—A letter from Behohia of the 27th
March says, " The Christino Commandant of La Rioga
has imposed a fine of twenty francs per month on all fathers
of families whose sons are with the Carlists. This contri-
bution is" levied by Martin Basco, commander of the
peseteros of that district."
The Deputation of the Province of Guipuscoa has made
at Tolosa the necessary preparations to receive there Don
Carlos, with his suite and his Ministers, on the 25th or
26th. He will be escorted by a battalion of the Guides of
Alava, and the Sacred Company.
ATROCITIES COMMITTED AT SARAGOSSA.--A Madrid
Journal contains the following explanation relative to the
new atrocities lately perpetrated at Saragossa :—" The
Archbishop of Saragossa, the Count de Fuentes, Don G.
A. Fuevillas, Don Pio Elizardo, the Count de Neugrette,
and Lieutenant-General Vilmur, had been brought -before
the Tribunals on accusation of conspiracy, but by an
indulgence these indiViduals were set at liberty.
Fifteen months afterwards the proceedings were resumed
before the Criminal Tribunal of Arragon, and Don Manuel
Sahun, Advocate of the Royal College of Saragossa, was
appointed to conduct it. The dilatoriness with which the
proceedings had at first been conducted, and the indul-
gence shown to the accused, had irritated the people ; some,
indisposed, took advantage of this temper of the minds of
the inhabitants to compel the authorities to act in a manner
unworthy of the dignity of the constitutional cause, and of
the Spanish character.
A handful of rioters demanded the sacrifice of a great
number of individuals ; Don Manuel Villardor, J. Robires,
and El Aquader, were selected to satisfy the thirst of
blood of the rioters. The first two were executed without
having been heard or defended ; the third had the same
fate, though he had been condemned to ten years' banish-
ment to a -Presidio. The Judges composing the Court re-
fused to sanction by their signature such atrocious execu-
tions. If the proceedings had not been conducted at the
outset with dilatoriness and partiality the trial would have
terminated in a shorter time, and in a more legal manner,
and the constitutional cause would not have been sullied
with a stain that dishonours it."
- The correspondent who-sends us this extract has for-
gotten to mention from what paper he borrowed it, so that
we do not know to whom the Spanish Ministry had con-
fided tile melancholy task of finding palliatives for such cx-
cesses.—Messager, April 3.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Stn,—Having just read the appointment of Lord Bru-
denell to the 11th Light Dragoons, I cannot refrain from
congratulating the public on the restoration of such an ex-
"eellent officer to the service of his country, and who, from
his acknowledged talent in his profession, ought to be looked
upon as one of the smartest officers we have, whose ap-
pearance in uniform on horseback is the beau ideal of per-
fection, and whose rank, fortune, and education. tend to
make him sufficiently independent, to withstand all influence
in the administration of justice to all under his command,
whether Major, Captain, Cornet, or Private, and this is a
trait in his character not always met with in these times.
Indeed, I know, notwithstanding he may have some failings
incidental to human nature, there are those, and not a few,
who would have more pride and pleasure in serving under
his Lordship's command than that of any other in his Ma-
jesty's service ; and I have no doubt that, under him, the

11th soon will be what the 15th lately were, the pattern
regiment for field manceUvre.
As you may be asked, Mr. Editor, who wrote the above,
you may as well state—one who has served as an officer in
cavalry as well as infantry, abroad as well as at home ; who
was an observer of his 'Lordship's conduct in his late re!li-
meat at Cork garrison, and whose only inducement for
making to you this statement is to do justice to an indivi-
dual who has been much injured in the estimation of the
public.—l am, Sir, your's, &c.
