(From the Correspondent of a Morning Paper.)
About eight o'clock on the night of the 30th of Septem-
ber, at Peniche, whilst Colonel Morales was sitting playing
at cards in his own quarters with two other Spanish officers,
serjeant Santos, of the Portuguese artillery, and three others
of the same corps, knocked at the street door, which was
at the time open. The Colonel, who was in an inside
room, rose from his seat to see who was knocking, and hav-
ing opened the door of the room he was sitting in, which
opened into that which led into the street, the serjeant shpt
him, and lie died in less than one hour. Colonel Morales
was about 60 years of age, had received several wounds in
former wars, was Governor of a province in Spain, and a
man of high character, rank, and consideration in his own
country. He emigrated, together with the other officers
and men who accompanied Don Carlos out of Spain, none
of whom ever fired a shot in Portugal, and must have been
included in the arrangement made at Evora with Don
Carlos. The assassin was well known, and the transaction
was officially reported to General d'Abure the following
morning, of which he took no notice. It was reported
to the Fort Adjutant, a Portuguese officer, who said it
was well done. The assassin himself admitted having
committed the murder, and boasted of having received
the approbation of the Governor, in consequence of which
confession he was discarded from the serjeant's mess, and
all further intercourse with the serjeants of the Queen's
Own Irish. The transaction was reported a second time
by Colonel Honner to the Governor, and it was stated
that sufficient proof against the parties who committed the
murder could be produced, notwithstanding which the
assassin was permitted to go at large. A few days after
this atrocious deed was perpetrated, the destruction of the
two officers who were present and witnessed the murder
was fixed on, and made no secret of by the assassin him-
self, in consequence of which the intended victims made
their escape over the walls the night before they were to
have been murdered, as did several others who were marked
in a similar manner for destruction. In consequence of
these occurrences several Spanish officers waited on Colonel
Honner and demanded his protection, detailing at length ,
the source from which they derived their information of I
their intended murder. For some days he endeavoured to
pacify them, and convince them that they must have been
mistaken. However the Governor became more restless
and vindictive ; he was constantly stating to Colonel Honner
his having intimation of a conspiracy amongst the Spa-
niards and the people of Peniche to surprise the citadel.
Upon every one of these occasions the Colonel endeavoured
to persuade him of the improbability of their having any
such intention, as they must know that it was impossible
they could succeed. He constantly requested of the Go-
vernor to alio* him to make prisoners of any persons he
suspected, which he always objected to, thereby proving
that the cry of a conspiracy was merely a plan got up in
the Government-house to form a pretext for further assas-
sinations, which opinion was strengthened by the fact that
he desired Mr:Brown, the Adjutant, to prevail upon the
men of the Irish to murder the Spaniards whenever they
