several times repulsed the ferocious Empecinado,
has experienced a great misfortune. The in-
habitants having learnt that this Chief of the
Brigands again designed to take the town, went
to meet him ; but they proceeded to too great a
distance, of which the Empecinado took the ad-
vantage, and having entered the town, he caused
the houses to be pillaged, and set fire to the
Place. The whole of the street of Moros was
reduced to cinders, with the convent of St.
Francis and a number of other edifices. It is
said that 170 persons perished in the flames. The
number of killed is more considerable. The Ein-
pecinudo caused the sick to be murdered in the
Hospital. _

PAItIB, 0CT.29.—1t is natural that the pub

should be anxious to know the results of the great
events which are passing in Spain. The facts do
not develope themselves but by a successive
action. The telegraph could inform us of the
zlews of a victory ; but it cannot send us the
art;cies of a Treaty. Is it imagined that, a few
days after the taking of Cadiz, all the affairs of
Spain are arranged ? All that we can affirm is,
that the advice of the King, and that of the
Prince Generalissimo, has obtaind a happy irlith•
euce, and has produced a consoling result. It is
that the Decrees of Port St. Mary, Xeres, and
Seville,—Decrees imprudently sanctioned, but
caused by the provocation of the Revolutionists,
have already been modified, in conformity with a
policy more calm and more generous.
They are now occupied in a Convention, which
is to regulate the military relations between
France and Spain. This Convention, dictated
by a common interest, defines conditions, which,
without being burthensome to France, will be
advantageous to Spain.
We have already said, and we repeat it again,
that the example given by our King will not be
lost. He wishes Spain to have a solid and tem-
perate Monarchy, calculuted to maintain the ho-
nizsur at►d faith of the public, and to effect the
"'establishment of order, by which the credit of
the State will be regained.
Certain persons affirm that England has ac-
knowledged the independence of the Spanish
Colonies, and has notified it to all the European
Pore rs
The English Ministers, after a long delibe-
ration, acknowledged the necessity of having

agents in the principal ports of Spanish America,
to protect the extended commerce of British sub-

lects ; but they wish to evade that which could
be interpreted as an acknowledgment of the in-
oetzeondent States de Ado, and therefore state,
that the letters of credentials given to their
agents are merely in this form To the per-
sons having power and authority at Mexico, la
Buenos Ayres, 4-ct kc."
Now, not only has the alleged notification not
been made, but the acknowledgment by Eng-
land has not taken place ; and how can it be
believed that England will agitate all at once a
question of that importance, when the formal
admission to their independence of five or six
tle'v States, containing 17 millions of inhabitants,
Wbald be' an event which might considerably
affect the balance of power between the nations.?
"ne Must be ignorant of political affairs, and of
tbe intimate alliance of all the Cabinets, to be-
lieve that one State would pronounce alone on a
question which interests them all, which will cer-
!aiillY be the object of a solemn discussion, and
