PARTICULARS of tits CAPTURE of GEN. RIEGO.

The following ,particulars are by an eye-wit-,
ness of that event. Thty are interesting:—
" After haiing been completely defeated by the .French,
ch,
Riegle Wandered in the mountains, with about 20 follOwera,
on horseback, 18 of whom were superior oft,cers. Exbautited
with fatigue and huner, he met the Hermit of La Torit (10,
Pearogf and'
an inhabitant o Vilches, named Lopez Leta.
He took them aside and said—' My, friends you have now an
opportunity of making your Own and ramifies' fortunes; you
have only to conduct me, unobserved by any one.whateyer, to
Carolina, Citrboneras, and Navas de Tolosa, where I have pod
friends, who wilt procure ma asuide to Estremadum, whither
an desirous or probeeding,* The hermit and his companion
refused his offers; but Riego caused them to be seized and
mounted upon two maths, declaring to them, at the santo tirne
that whether willing or not they, should serve as guides to the
troop.
"At night-fall they proceeded onward. Riego spoke to his
companions of his journey from Madrid into Andalusia, of the
places where he found acquaintenee, &c. The guides' concleded
from this unguarded conversation, that. he was the faraou,
Riego. From thiernomeut the'brave Lopez Lira was only oc
cupped in deviSing means for delivering this notorious airline)
into the.binds of sustice. At daybreak they round theruselve4
near the farm Raquevivanes. Riego said' they would demand
an asylum there; on which Lent 'knocked.at the door, itedit so
happened that it was one of his own brothers, named Mateo;
who came anti opened it.
" Riego, fearing that too numerous en escort' would betray
him, would only permit three of his faithful followers to inter
with him. One of these was an Englislf Colonel, who, impiess+
ed with mistrust, .Hastily closed the door, locked it, and
pocketed the key. They fed 'their horses and reposed there:
selves in the stable, with their drawu:'ewnrds by ;their sides.—
Riego, on awaking,' paremptorily td Lopez Lars that he
must get his horse shod. Well,' replied the latter, who felt
all the importance of the occasion, t I will go and get it done at

had ouly. time to whisper his brother : This inan is Itiego ; ,
give information to-the-magistrates, and ettY, that lee -.are pre-
pared to do our duty.
" Possesied of theiame intelligence as his brother, Mateo
agreed upon the.way in which he would act, and he promised
so tb menage,thattßiego

should.be at breakfast when the armed -
force should surround the house.

Mr. Owen, it must be remembered, is judged
differently by every individual, and always ac-
cording to the peculiar tenets or bias of opinion
those individuals have been given from their,
youth up; great forbearance, therefore, ought to
be used to those under such, circumstances, for
the mistakes and error of their judgment, incom-
potent as many of us must be to form a right one,
from the pains taken in early life to pervert the
human understal►ding. •

It is the lot of all who do not follow in the,
beaten track to be objects of hatred and 'sus.
picion to those who do; and so effectually has
the barrier been pit to the march of intellect,
that few are gifted with faculties extensive or
percipient enough to see beyond themselves into
the boundless regions of the moral. World. It
is, therefore, nowise astonishing that one should
call Mr. Owen a primitive Christian, another an,
atheist, a third a madman, a fourth a wise and
good man,and a fifth 44. e non-descript amongst the
monsters of the moral world !!!" This last
tion of character is, by the way, less offensive than
might be supposed on a first view, and has some.
thing in it of poetical dignity, which I think may
verrwell compensate for its asperity. A monster
is a thing, as we believe, out ,of the ordinary
course of nature, misshapen, and differing in all
respects from the models before us ; accord.
ing, therefore, to the notions we have been giv.
ing of nature, -this description is not totally
applied to Mr. Owen. ' In the moral world,
differing from generally received opinions, how.
ever erioneousthose may be, is called unnatural.
Judging, therefore, by this false but given stand-
ard, Mr. Owen may be said to entertain monstrous
and misshapen opinions, as, unfortunately for the
interests of society, his are not common. For
theltness of the other epithets, as applied to
this gentleman, I refer to those who wish to sa-
tisfy' themselves, to a late publication of Mr.
Abraham.CoMbe, of Edinburgh, on 46 The Use
of local and general Terms ;" u small work, re,
plete with useful information, benevolence, and
good sense.
The standard for judging men, offered. us by..
CHttive himself, bits bete, as lu all such Cases;
been totally laid aside by those who.makemest
profession Of their faith, yet lose sight of the
Christian spirit which f, thinketh no
tree 'may be knowb by its frult"---a man by,
the- consistency of his actions. By this on,
erring and righteous rule, we may fairly eon.
chide' that Mr. Owen is a wise and benevolent
man,and though not a 'preacher, a pratitisor of
Christianity ; the 'dogma ho leaves to those
'wits would occupy themselves in angry and use..
less disputation. His object is to be practically
serviceable to his fellow-man, without any
tinction of sect, party, or opinion; to heal the
angry feelings of, one towardi the other, to in,
spire •nren with mental chnritY, as the only means
or rectifying individital error, and averting thest,
evils that our false notions of right or wrong have
brought clasSes of society.' e;

Mately 'that of all society, vs the natural conse.-

the surrender of Figueras:—
"MY LORD—I have the -honour to inform

prisoners of war. On the e9thl the troops of

says " the Governor had obtained permission for
two covered caravans to leave the town; these
caravans were destined to conceal the French re-
fugees who served iu Pampeluun. They were,
however, too numerous to go off under this con-
vealment. They were consequently compelled
to give them Spanish uniform, and enrol them in
the ranks of the surrendered garrison. Our sol-
diers recognized, them, and dragged them out of
the enemy's ranks, and delivered them into the

—According to reports which are circulated, the
disputes which took place between the Regency
and the Duke de Reggio, on account of the ad.
dress from the Royal Army of Navarre, had so
disgusted the Marsha!, that he wished to with.
draw from the capital as soon as possible.

BAYONNU, SEPT. 25.—The accounts relative

to the contagious disease at Passage became more and more sa.
tiefactory ; the number of dangerous cases is sensibly diminish-
ed,; and the patients that are received into the hospital* hove only
wdiriary sicknesees, in which there is no appearance of conta.
fOun thanks to the strict precautions that have been eaken, and
thanks.te.lll more to the weather which proves daily cooler, we
ehied`have cothiog to feu. There are amounts from 'Pampe-
lan*, which titan:. that that city begins already to feel the re.
etedon which has taken place; the chief of the citizens attached
to the Constitutional system are arrested, and this measure it
seems lute been adopted chiefly towards the rich, who it is re-
Krted will be celled upore to pay a large contribution, though
Ac capitulation says nothing of it. Besides the women who
have been brought away prisoners, a good member, it is said,
have been arrested, for having encouraged the garrison to make
a vigorous defence.
The Madrid Gazette of the 22d is quite insignificant ; that
of the 21st was more interesting, as it spoke of the affitir of Bel-
les:ma and Meg°. Some persons in this city say they have
seen a Proclamation by Ballasteroa,in which he protests against
ail the reports that have been spread of the rupture of the con.
ventlee between him and General Molitor, which he firmly re.
solved to .Maintain. •
One of the King's ships, with four millions of money on
board, is now at the bar of the river, ready to sail on the first

BonnEe.rir, SETT. 27—While we applaud the valour of
our troop* under General Dames, and rejoice at the great ad-
vantage over the enemy in Catalonia, we cannot help being
astoniebed at hearing' that an enemy's column from Barcelona
should have been able to get nearly to the wane of Figueras
without having been overtaken in this long march. This
column must have been composed of 3000 men nearly, for 2000
were taken prisoners after several actions and harassing
nearchee., and they must have sustained some loss before the ge.
acrid action:
