that the French soldier should be given up to the
gendarmes.

MADRID,
,OCT. 7.--(Extract of a Private Let-
-ter.)—There is only one person hanged to-day,
and another shot in the back, for not liking the
present system, which is enough to make them be
treated as traitors lo'-God 'and the King. This
is the logic of passion. The Diplomatic Corps
`sees with much 'uneasiness the internal state of
''Spain, and particularly the consequences which
-must result from-the general arming of the popu-
lace under the name of Royalist Militia. There
is scarcely a single proprietor amongst them, -and
• -before their names are written down, it is neces-
-sary to supply them "with Shirts, and this perhaps
`the first time they ever wore any. Count Puebla
-is appointed Ambassador Extraordinary to corn-
pliment Charles X. This young man is protected
`'by M. Ugarte. It -.is now some time since the
-Communeros conceived the project of celebrating
the, fete of Meg°, by carrying the portrait of this
• -General in procession through the capital, with
-all the' tumultuous solemnity common on such
'occasions; this ceremony-was interrupted by the
Civil Magistrate,'Martioez de-San Martin, who,
'at the head of some national militia, made him-
•self moister of the portrait, and dispersed all the
• partizans of the General without shedding a drop
4of blood. 'This affair has no-other consequence ;
'but the fanatics who seek out every pretext for
-vengeance, having discovered that a poor•wretch,
.naMed'Francisco de' la Torre, was et the proces-
Sion of the portrait, 'he was arrested and sen-
tenced by a Court Martial to ten years imprison-
"meat, to be led to the public square with the
'portrait of Wee suspended round his neck, and
'the hook of the Constitution in his hand, to be
'placed in the pillory, where the hangman took
from him the portrait and the book, mid burnt
• them in the presence of the people. At a distance
hum the place it is impossible to form an idea of,
the sufferings and insults with which this poor
wretch was overwhelmed,. and of the threats
•uttered against him. Even the women hastened
around him, armed with poinards, and it' was ue:'
•cessary for the French troops to interfere to pro 7
-test him from them. It was with difficulty he,
-was carried back to prison.

Flat AT LILINGTON.—On Tuesday a fire broke
out in an unfinished house, situate in Canonbury-
•fields, New North-road, Islington'. There,were
•several carpenters .employed in the house in
•fitting up the interior, and they had made •a
'file in one of the•rooms for the purpose of melt-
ing the glue. The workmen left the house
•about 12 o'clock, and went to -dinner, and
shortly after they were gone the house •was
dis-
covered to be on fire. It is supposed the Are
was caused by some• sparks communicating with
'the •-shavings, •there being a great quantity
in the room. .Soon after the commencement of
the fire, one of the workmen, anxious -to rescue
`his toolsontered the house. Several of his shop-
mates, and other persons, advised him -• not to
*►venture into the house, as there was.noltope of
his succeeding in his object ; •but unfortunately, o
few moments after .the carpenter entered the
house, the floors and roofs fell in with a tremen-
,dous crash, and engulphed him in the ruins. The
:house was completely gutted in less than an hour,
,and from the rapidity of the fire it was impos-
4ible to render the unfortunate man any assistance.
