SPAAISH PAPEItS.

We shave received a ,regular series- of Ala' nresit
Diariis, of which Journals we have been long de-
prived, on account of the difficulty of the counu4.
'nication. The following anecciote, exoosing the
cold- cruelty of .the French, and the burning, ven.,
seance of the Spaniards. shews a species of warfare
existing' io no other fart of Europe, excepting inthe
Tyrol.
Franciseo Zorilla; in the house of Lis parenti,
Who were labourers, strangled a Frenchman for in..

,and fled. The rest of the French
party required the parents to produce the son on pain.
'oldeath. These reverend persons, instead of corn=
plying, bOaSted of having facnitatedlis escape, and
presented their bieasts to the enraged enemy, wheti
thy were instantly butchered. ,
" The son heard the lamentable story, related it
to six of his companions; who formed-a stnall party
with him in the mountains of Cameros, -and dire&-
ed all their thoughts to the purposes of vengeance.
In a few days, hoVering among the defiles, they
kiiled to the number of On of the enemy, and seized
a quantity of money under their convoy, which ett,
hb,kci thiS handMl of patriotS.to extend their plans
of operation. .

" Among
,other achievements, they Attacked a
carriage with two Officers and three soldiers 'Con-
veying 20,900 rials. Ou being informed by the
driver that they Were all Italians, they grantedtheiti
their lives rthaining the casts, whiFlt the escort ac.

Various situa,ions ja 'Cast'lle, and has now collected

The account then proceeds to btale a great %/a-
iinty of conflict's in which. this injured and enraged
soli has successfully engaged, and concludes with
observing, that
" 'The example of this valiant Patriot has had' an
influence so powerful over the natives
,that even in
the midst of the armies of the enemy, the young
Men form nunierous ; and powerful 'detachments,
destroying the ent.:niy on every side, as has 'already

On Monday evening, bet Ween
.eight and nine
oteloek, as two Gentlemen were crossing the field
on the other side of PeUtonville, near the Albion
Tea-gardens, their ears were assailed hy'the repeat- •
ed cries oftriurder, at some distance. On 'proceed-
ing towards the spot wliea'ce the noise came, they
.oberved A man Making. With all speed toWards
Maiden-lane, pursue) by another, calling out " stop
thief," and whom 'they Liorned in the pursuit ; but
the villain having considerably the start of them,
-and faveUred by the darkness of the night, made
his escape. The titan, it seems, who was stopped,
*as returning home from his wok, When he wast
overtaken by the robber, who, presenting a pistol
to his breast ate soon as they had got a short. way be-
jidild the Tea-garden, demanded his money or, hi. ,
life. The other,• lifting his hands, on pretence of
putting them in his pockets,•-seized the pistol, which
flashed in :the pan, and immediately a desperate
struggle ensued, the robber endeavouring to throw
I the man into the ditch, and he making efforts to.
prevent him. ' 'During this
,the Gentleman fortu-
nately came up, and the robber made off, leaving
behind him his bludgeon, and nearly the half of his
coat. The same fellow had followed a Gentleman,
brother to one of those who rescued the other, not
.. more than half an hour before, and was only pre-
'vented from robbing him by some people coming'up.
