The following letter tends very strongly to con-
firm the statement we made yesterday, re,pectilll

the signature of the prelitninares of peace between
Russia and Turkey :
" FIELIGOLAND, DEC. 27.---The future situation
of the Continent seems to depend much on the
question of peace or war between Russia and Tor-
key. Hitherto we have been able to obtain no in-
formation of a decisivt. nature either way. A
smuggler, however, arrived here yesterday, \vhicht
brings a report, that the Hfunbcr;ll Paper 1t.,53 let-
ter either from Bucharest or mervionin;
the signature of peace bet wee: these two wat r,ng-
Powers, and the Master adds, that in consequer cL
of the news, a gre.it many troops that had.,,,trived
have left Hamhuigh, and th.at warlike preparations
'seem to be making. It is said hkewice elsewhere,
that the Scheldt fleet is to ride in the B3ltie next
year, to prosecute war against Russ:a, and to pre-
vent England from holding any communication
with her. . •

The subs*ent official letter from General Lair:v.
to MArshal Macdonald, the two Counnatnitrs iri
Chief in Catalonia for the respe,c.tive compclitor4
will excite no small portion of sensiniiiiy for the
;ufferings of the brave partizans of Spanish inde-.
nendence.

" 130re,-!, Oct. z 9

Most Exmllent Sir,

" It is very painful to me, who are anxious to
alleviate s much as possible the disiresse.,; of war,
find it necessary, at every step I advance, to ab.oidon
the system of indulgence I had adowed, in jnit rem
taliation for the conduit of the Generale, who act
under the orders of your Excellency.
" A few days only have elapsed since the Com-
mander of a battalion, D. Francisco rieconlardit, su:C
Erred an ignominious death to Balaguer, because.
he executed the commission entrusted to into
under the proper atrthority. Since that time, D.
JoaquimSagrera, another Commander of a G'.erilla
party, has been made prisoner, and to preserve
his life he has been obliged to have .recourse
to his relations for security, in every possible
form. Also, without the least respect, Colonel
D. Pedro Foni, a&ing as Captain to the .corps of
Almegavaros, has been led to.the prison of Pei pig-
non, on account of the resentment of one
the former being charged with the death of the son
of the latter, which son, while in the office of Coin-
missary, became the victim of his own indiscretion,.
by falling into the hands of the troops commanded
by Colonel Font, ten or eleven months since.
" I cannot persuade myself that your Excellency
authorizes such acts of violence contrary to the laws
of war, for it must be known to you, that the above
named Montardit, Sagrera, and other Commanders
.ot Guerillas, engage under the competent sancthni,
-since the Supreme Spanish Government has declared
long ago, that such Citizens, and all whom they
command, are Soldiers of the coontry ; and this
declaration is consistent with the practice of other
nations, as well as Spain, when it has become ne.
cessary for them to avail themselves of the mass of
their population to preserve their independence.
" Convinced that your Excellency will recognize
these just principles, I' promise myself that you wilt
give the proper orders that all Spaniards whom the
fate of war places in the hands of the troops y
command may be treated, not as criminals, out as
pr ;sorters ; also, that the murderers of Motonrdit,
may receive their just punishment; and further, OA
Colonel Font and Captain Sagrera be i:nmt-diately
set at liberty, and treated with the decorum whiett
their lank demands.
But if your Excelleney determine otherwise,
and prefer to this pradice, dictated by equity and
humanity, all those horrors which war may bring
in its train, I hope you will iminechately give raa
informrtion of your deign, that my deportment
may correarond with yours, for v.tatever may be
my love of mercy, I shall not bean indiff,:•rent spec-
tator of the injustice and cruelty exeiciced towards
hoie under my command, and you may be assured
that the prisoners in my power, and those who miy
hereattor devolve into my hands, will be responsible
with their lives fOrsoeh atrocities.
(Signed)
" To the Duke of Tarento."
