SPAIN.

(From the Constitutionnel, Sept. 10.)
Auci.l9.--4:This city has given u►s a
proof of what those may expect who should
tend to trouble the public tranquillity in any
manner.

During the first days of this month 180 mule-loads of cotton
snd tobacco bales had been seized from the smugglers of'
Taha and tlarchena, and it was understood that they intend-
ed to get them back again by force. At the same time it was
reported that some Spanish revolutionists, who had fled to
Gibraltar, had prepared some vessel!, arms, ammuniiion and
other necessaries, to introduce disordir on several points Of the
coast. •

rinshort, they Were perceived on the morning of the 13th,
on the waters of Almeira, making signalA with tunes, to which
other fusees discharged from the city replied ;_ but, the Gover.
nor, who was on the watch as well as the faithful ItOyalists and
the people, prepared to advance, and more particularly Soler',
the (Captain of .Artillery, who had put into condition the only
two batteries that pointed towards the sea, ,and who trusted
the care of them to some courageous peasants, who would rather
die than yield them. The Royalist Volunteers, the Pensioners,
and the Invalids, had wisely distributed themselves to cover.
the most important pointit; arid an arrest was immediately
made of 3d persons, who, it was suspected, had intelligence
with the malefactors. •
On the morning of the 14th the wisdom of these measures
became manifest, the ships having made their attack on the
13th, and being repulsed by the batteries with great loss, caused
by their fire, which lasted without interruption from three till
six in the morning. It Was soon learned that some insurgents
had effected a landing on the coast, and that all the smug.
glers of 'Yalta and Alarchena, in a considerable body, had
descended to unite with them, and to march immediately
for the town ; hut the Royalists, including the women sit AI.
reerin aid of the villages of Gatlor, Moja, Pechina, and Ta-
bernas, met them, arid repulsed them with the saute vigour as
theY repulsed the Algennesi,the, other day, and forced the
suiegllers to abandon, their project .of assisting the. insurgents.
Pew of these latter were saved ; some were left on the held of
battle, and the others, to the number of 30, have been taken,
mut wait in the dungeons that punishment width is due to their
temerity. On our side we have had some men wounded, and
a female killed.

Among them adventurers were people of all sorts, officers
wh3 have been Spaniards, and ninny strangers. Their leader
was named IgMies. The frigate the Pearl, which has arrived
from Cart"agena, is to pursue these pirates.
