SPANISH CONSTITUTIONALISTS•

(From the New York National Gazette.)
It will be seen by the subjoined Correspond'
ence, which a friend has ,transmitted to its from
Gibraltar, that the American Naval Commander
in the Mediterranean, Commodore Crighton, made
a•humane attempt, last autumn, to rescue some of
the Spanish patriots from the fangs of their op-
pressors. Though the Spanish General, O'Don-
nell, vas not then under the necessity of shedding
blood, he was not long afterwards employed in
that work by orders from the Court.

" U. S. ship Cyane, (Gibraltar Bay, Oct. 2.5, 1824.
I " Your Excellency,-1 have heard with deep concern that a
number of Spanish subjects are to be shot to death to-morrow
at Algeziras, for having committed an offence against the 100
of Spain, the justice of which punishment -1 will not presuille
to call in question. Should it, however, be.in your Excellency
power to pardon these unfortunate and deluded men, may I
ask, in the name of humanity, that this act of clemency may tic
extended towards them, and whether the. examples already
made would not answer the ends of justice? But if your EX'
cellency cannot pardon, may I hope that you will,postponelthe
execution of their dreadful sentence, until I can write to the 3.li'
ulster of the United States at Madrid, that he may intercede
with his Most Catholic Majesty in, behalf of these miserable
men. Spare them, I beseech your Excellency, and stop the ar'
teries of Spanish blood, which has ;already been so abundantlY.
shed, and let Spain repose with her children, but not destroy
them. I appeal to your Excellency with confidence, having
heard'much of your ExCellency's mild and excellent character.
" I beg your Excellency to accept the assurance of my vent"
high consideration and respect.
(Signed) "JOHN- ORDE.CREIGHTON,
Commanding the United States ships and vessels`

of the Royal Spanish troops, Algeziras."
ANSWER.

" Sir—l have received your kind letter dated yesterday, by
which you solicit the pardon of some unfortunate Spaniards,-
whom you suppose under sentence of death, and to be executed
to-day: .
- - - , _

" hasten to inform you, Sir, that such news reported to you
at Gibraltar is without foundation, and that I am not for tlic
present under the unpleasant necessity of. shedding human
-blood, by the authority Of the laws. But should 1 unfortu-
nately be obliged to resort again W such a repugnant and
dreadful step, intended to repress atrocious crimes, I have
authority to stop or suspend .the execution of the sentence,
although desirous to shew you, Sir, the consideration which
your interference greatly deserves. Nay your life be long prC'
served. (Signed) " JOSEPH O'DONNELL.

Annexed is the answer given by the Bashaw
of Tangier, in the naive of the Emperor of Mo"
roco, to the demand made by the Spanish Go.?
vernment, that" the vassals of his Most Catholic
Majesty," who had taken refuge in Barbary,
should be delivered up. The Emperor wrote tIY
the Bashaw, 46 Thou last done well in not giving
up the Spaniards—they have taken refuge undo'
our flag, and must be Kotected." The barbarian
and infidel Monarch appears to great advantage
in contrast with the. Royal Minion of the /WY'
Alliance.

ANSWER OF TILE BASITAW.
" Ills Majesty cannot for a moment entertain the idea of de-,
livering up the persons who came to his dominions, placing"
trust and confidence in a Monarch just and beneficent, who re-
spects the precepts of God, given through his Prophet.
" If the men claimed by the King of Spain be offender`
against the laws, his Majesty should suspend their punishmeq
until he be firmly seated in his throne, and when that peri°'
arrives, the Emperor will have a direct understanding with the
King of Spain, who may then demand them, for it is the duty
of sovereigns to respect and attend.ro each other's Wishes.
," If the King of Spain considers these men as offenders, be'
cause they have not opposed destiny, be it so. Other King9'
there are, and' friends too of the King of Spain, .who do nos
look on them in that light, and would moreover have wished
them to have taken refuge in their territories, where they tvotill'
have been protected.
" The Emperor is a lover of clemency, and is not a stranger
to the principles of justice, and therefore he cannot,' withoP
offending God by breaking the commands of his Prophet'
accede to the ivishes of his friend the King of Spain."

HONOURED Sin,
jr BEG leave to inform you, that ever since the
year 1790, I had been afflicted with the Lues Vencreae

prescribed by the most-eminent of the faeulty here, and 1,,11,
dergoing severalsevere courses of salivation, and twice- d':.6
charged from the Hospital with little relief, would appear „e.
be of the most inveterate nature. In the spring of last ”.."-cr•
my nisorder bad got to such a bead, as nearly to pnt a read,
to my existence—l had a large ulcer im the crown of any fie 7
on e-on each arm, and my legs were broke out in a fright,
manner; my right was dreadfully painful,.and had been 0;
state of ulceration for the last seven years; my left had acre
two large nodes on it, was very much discoloured, and Ova
me uch excruciating pain, particularly when warm in

was recommended by Mr. .1. Thompseo,-(Who receirt:,,d.;

which I began to (loon the With 0. May; in the eourgy
fortnight I began to receive benefit—in little more th'lL,
Month the ulcers on my head and arms were soundly
soon after, the sores on my legs healed also; leaving,
ever, considerable diseolouration in the skin, and pain il,'„`tje
bone of theleft,•which, by the blesriog of God, and•a " ;
longer perseverance in your invalisable Medicine, sulssided
the nodes dispersing, the skin regaining its natural hUe, 1,1
