of weak minds to a state of idiocy. Its terrors are un-
utterable, and never can its saddening, its mind-destroy-
ing horrors, be adequately conveyed to those who have
never endured it.

" Upon me this punishment was inflicted in a place
too !narrow for exercise, in a cell that was damp and
filthy, that was overwhelmed with noisome insects, that
was exposed to the invasions of the rats of that country,
cal that was constantly pervaded with noxious exhala-
tions, arising from the ordure of the prison, that was
et fleeted almost immediately beneath it.
"It was al such a place that the sufferings of a Buenos
Ayres winter c mstituted the elim ix to tortures that ap-
peared intolerable. This last completed my misery ; ray
health, which had been suff•ring, finally gave way. Loss
of appetite was followed by loss of sleep, and to this suc-
ceeded a swelling of my legs, which felt as if the process
of mortification and death had commenced in the lower
extremities, whilst life and sense were left to the brain
and the functions of the b ilv„ _ _ _

"Patiently. and ev,,n calmly, had I waited out each
slow and lingering hour, and watched the tardy pace of
every long and dreary (lay, h ping, calculating, and
self-convinced. that the next must bring with it the ap-
pearance of the British Minister in my cell— to hear him
say that the meanest subject of the British Croxn should
not be thus treated unaccused, untried, unconvicted. I
waited and —alas! I grieve to say it—l waited in vain.
I was personally known to the British Minister. I came
at last to the conclusion that he mu ;t be utterly ignorant
of my arrest—of my incarceration—and of the frightful
torture that was inflicted upon me.
" I had contrived many pl(ns for my escape ; they
were the sole amusement of my prison hours, and each
had been in turn rejected by me as cowardly. At last,
my entire thoughts were fixed upon a communication
with the British Minister, being perfectly certain that
once he knew my position he would procure my release.
" I did succeed in effecting that communication ; and,
in order to show how closely and jealously I was
watched, I must explain the plan that I adopted.
"At the time that I was arrested I had in my side
coat-pocket a small memorandum book and pencil.
This was a fortunate circumstance for me ; for I had
frequently applied to the gaoler to supply me with pen,
ink, and paper, and these were constantly refused to me.
If I spoke it was seldom that a simple affirmative or ne-
gative were conceded to me ; for the orders given to the
gaoler and his assistants were not to take any notice of
me.' I was treated as an idiot, in the hope that I might
be visited with idiocy.
" The only favour conce led to me was this—l was
allowed to receive my meals from the British hotel.
These were always brought to me in a portlbiandes.*
This was sent at dinner-hour ; but before it was handed
to me through the door, I observe-d that every dish was
strictly examined by my gaoler, lest any communication
should reach me from abroad ; and when I gave it back
in the evening the same rigid examination took place,
lest I should attempt to seek thus sending a message to
any friend.
" I could see, through the hole in the door, this double
examination taking place every day ; but I perceived
that there was one portion of the pp tibiendes that was
not looked into, and that was the lowermost portion,
which came containing fire, and returned filled with the
cold ashes. Upon, that circumstance I rested my only
hope of communication with the British Minister, and
my subsequent chance of escape from a prison which I
felt was fast hurrying me to a premature grave.
" I had a pencil to write, but no paper to write upon.
None would be given to me. Upon two or three occa-
sions, however, pastry was sent to me rolled in white
paper, and at another time a few oranges were Wrapped
in paper. Every scrap of this was taken and carefully
concealed by me.
" Then, for the purpose of seeing if the portablundes
would bear my message safely, I removed the ashes from
the lowermost parts, to try if nay gaolers would notice
the alteration. They did not do so ; and I snatched
the first moments that I was sure I was not
watched to write, in pencil, a few lines to the British
Minister, Mr. Mandeville. The purport of the note
was, that my health was fast declining ; that such con-
finement, if much longer protracted, must inevitably
cause my death ; that I was quite sure it was resolved I
should not leave that prison alive ; that as I had a con-
siderable amount of property in Chili and Peru, and
some in Ireland, I wished to make my will, in order that
my sister might inherit my estates ; and that I therefore,
begged of Mr. Mandeville to come to me, if it were but
for a moment, in order that, having arrang, d my worldly
affairs, I might the better submit to that cruel fate
which, without a single fault or error on my part, had
been manifestly reserved for me.
" This, to the best of my recollection, was the sub-
stance of my note to Mr. Mandeville, and all my hope
was that ho would receive it. lam sure that a British
subject, without a single charge alleged against him—
unarraigned before any species of tribunal—unques-
tionel, unexamined, and unaccused by any one, or
under any form of law—would not be permitted by the
representative of my Sovereign to be left thus—a pri-
soner, suffering the worst species of punishment—with•
out finding in that Minister a defender, a supporter, and
a vindicator of the country which was thus outraged in
my person.
" These were my feelings as I wrote that note. My
calculation was, as I removed the ashes from the porta-
biandes, that the person appointed to clean them out be-
fore putting in fresh fire would fine the note, and, as it
was addressed to Mandeville, would forward it to that
gentleman. That calculation the event proved to be
correct. The man found the note, and, being ignorant
of what it contained, at once delivered it to his master,
Mr. Beech, the proprietor of the British Hotel, who
performed his duty, by placing it at once in the bards
of Mr. Mandeville.
" Mr. Mandeville did not act as I had anticipated he
would have done, for, instead of coming to see me, he
went to the Minister of Rosas, Araea, and informed him
that he had received a communication from me ! The
result was an immediate visit from the Chief of the Po-
lice (Victorino) to the prison, and the attempt by him
to extort from me a knowledge of the means by which I
had communicated with Mr. Mandeville. I denied the
fact—l pretended that the communication was an inven-
tion of that gentleman's brain—and I denounced him in
the strongest terms I could use, calling him ' a humbug
of a British Minister.'

" I conceive, that in acting in the manner that he did,
Mr. Mandeville did not bear himself as a British Minis-
ter should have done in such circumstances. He com-
mitted, I think, a great error, and one that might have
cost me my life, by thus betraying my act to the Minis-
ters of a man who he knew had acted outrageously to-
wards me —who could not allege any excuse for my de-
tention, but that it was a 'preemie/on,' because he had
heard and believed that I came to Buenos Ayres to make
a revolution ! bringing with me 15,000 doubloons !
when the fact was, all I had with the was 5,0001. in bills
on London, and that my own property, carried for the
purpose of going to England, where at was afterwards
received by me.
" Even if Mr. Mandeville did not choose to come and
see me, I do not think he should have toll Rosas'i Mini-
ster that I had found. the means of making a secret com-
munication to him, for as a British subject—deprived of
ro right that attached to me as such by crime—l was, I
think, entitled to communicate with him and to beg his
protection.
" It was a great error in judgment, hut it was no more.
I think the act was wrong—l do not think so of the
motives that prompted it ; and least of all do I suppo.e
that it was done with the slightest intention to injure me.
" I am aware that Mr. Mandeville was peculiarly
situated with the Governor of Buenos Ayres. Ile was in
Bunios Ayres, I think, for three years before Rosas con-
descended to spank to him. The respect which is due
to a British Minister was not shown to him. He could
not but be aware that frightful atrocities were committed,
under the special direction of Rosas, and it might be
that apprehensions for his own safety induced him to
apprise the Minister of a fact that might subsequently be
learned through spies, and that their denunciation
might bring down upon him that fate from which
neither the sacred character of long friendship
nor the respect due to the sacerdotal functions could pre
serve others ; and he might have felt that a British Mi-
nister was not safe where a British subject was treated
as I had been. Whatever may have been the motives of
Mr. Mandeville, I am quite positive they could not
have Arisen from any unkindness towards me ; for
I was honoured with his hospitality before my
imprisonment, and with the testimonies of his sympathy
when I escaped from the miserable death to which I had
been destined.

The first result of my letter to Mr. Mandeville was a
visit from thu police—the second was most useful to me,
for it brought me at the same time a physician,
,who ex-
amined me in the presence or the police-officer and a
lawyer, with whose aid I made out my will—the third
was the immediate change of my gaolers, double sen-
tinels plv.ced on the door, and a third at the top of the
house—and then came a consultation between Rosas and
his Minister Mum, as to whether I ought not to be re-
moved to the Retiro barrack (a short distance from
Buenos Ayres), as I could there be, with greater
deprived of life, and my death attributed to illness.
" This was the proposition of Rosas; but Maza op-
posed it—he represented that I was a British subject,
long known in South America—that my death would
certainly excite attention, and that, if I were got rid of
by violence, it would, most probably, be afterwards die-
oovered by some one of the numerous friends I had in
the different states, and its consequences fatal to Rosas
himself. Maza found that his remonstrances were in

vain ; that Rosas had resolved on dispatching me.
Finding all his arguments useless, he told the facts to
the wife of Rosas, and she went down on her knees to
b,g my life; and it is to her inturcess'on that I attri-
bute that delay which sub-equently saved me.
" I did not, at the time, know any of these circum•
stances. I had never been spoken to ; but, from the
moment I had written to Mr. Mandeville, and that he
had mentioned it to Rosas's Ministers, I regarded my
death as inevitable. I was treated as a man doomed to
death ; and I prepared for death. I expected to be
taken out and shot, and I cut down a light green surtout
that I had brought with me to the prison into a jacket,
so that, if I were give❑ a soldier's death, I might ap-
pear as a soldier, with that care bestowed upon my
habiliments which becomes a soldier ; and that, in my
last moments, it might be seen I was not unworthy of
those companions in arms with whom I had often faced
that danger which was now inevitable.
" I had settled my worldly affairs, and it was in the
daily expectation that I should be called out for exe-
cution—that having made up my mind to ,die, and to

meet it as became me, that then, what appeared far
worse than a soldier's sudden and violent death, over-
took me. I was at last utterly broken down, and unable
to move froln my bed. My room was filled with noxious
insects, my health was utterly prostrated : at night,
thousands of rats gathered round my bed, and the last
feeble effort of my decaying strength was to use a stick
which the gaolers in mercy gave to me, to prevent those
horrible animals, three times as large as the European
rat, from attacking me in my bed. So frightful were
these days, and so horrible these nights, that I confess,
I was at last so unmanned by them as to wish fordeath.
That death did not come to nee, but it did to those
who were confined in the same horrible prison. One
was a Frenchman, Backly, who died in consequence of
his sufferings, and for whose unjust treatment Buenos
Ayres was subsequently blockaded by the fleet of
France. The other was a German who had been a
captain in the service of Rosas, and who, for some trivial
offence, was placed in this prison, where he had not long
been confined before he was driven to despair, and in the
madness of that despair, he cut his throat. I was not
aware at the time of the manner in which his death had
been produced, but when I saw the dead body carried
from the prison I envied the fate of one who had been
the victim of Rosas, and had at last escaped from him.
"The interp asition of the wife of Rosas had procured
me one respite—another was obtained for me through a
letter which arrived from Paris, in the middle of De-
cember, from General San Martin to the Ministers of
Row, recapitulating the services I had performed,
pointing to the fact that it was to me those colours that
now waved in the cathedral of Buenos Ayres had been
intrusted—that for eleven days I had been shut up in a
cachuca in the Cordilleras of the Andes in a snow-storm
—that these very colours were for that time my only
covering at night—that I had sacrificed much to gain
and much to preserve them—and that I was a man,
years of experience enabled him to say, incapable of
intrigue or dishonour.
" The generous interference of my old and beloved
commander protracted my fate—but whether it could
have saved my life I know not. It did not procure me
my liberty—that only was obtained by a dispatch from
Lord Palmerston, a, Secretary for Foreign Affairs, in-
sisting on my immediate liberation.
" The order for my prison doors being opened was
brought at nine o'clock on Christmas morning. The
chief of police tendered me my discharge, on condition
that. I would give security in 60,000 dollars, that in
sailing for England I should not touch at Monte Video
or Rio Janeiro.
"The doors of my prison were thrown wide—wide
open for me—and the cold, sweet, fresh air was at last
permitted to penetrate the fetid atmosphere in which I had
been expiring. I thought I should never have enough
of air—l tore open my jacket, that I might feel it on my
skin ; that it might be as balm to my body, which had
been withered and wasted without it. This is all I can
recollect ; for I am told I was delirious with pain, with
misery, and suffering. I could not walk—the nerves had
become torpid—try flesh so incapable of pain that I
could prod my thigh with a nail and not feel it.
" I had to be carried, as if I were a child, in a carriage,
from the prison to my hotel. There the watchfulness
of a skilful physician and a valued friend, Dr. Hogan, at
length brought me back to life. Constant friction re-
stored the natural action to my limbs, so that, at the end
of a month, I was able to go on board a ship ; but so ill
was I, on my arrival in England, that Dr.. Jefferson, of
Leamington, told me he could not guarantee my life ;
arid it required his care and attention for three months
before I was restored to my usual health. •
" This is the narrative of my imprisonment by Rosas.
I have fulfilled my promise ; for in the course of it I
have not used one harsh epithet in depicting his conduct
towards me, and the sufferings I endured.
" And now the reader—the English reader—will bear
this fact in mind, that neither in word, in thought, nor
in act, had I provoked such treatment. I had done no
act against Rosas—l was not accused of baying done
any act against him. The pretext was that he suspected
me—for that suspicion he never even alleged that he
had the smallest proof•—and my imprisonment was, in
his language, a precaucion ; and when pressed by my
friends—for I bad friends anxious for my release—he
evaded their intercession, by repeated pkomises that I
should next week, or the. weekefter that, be set at large.
"It appeartgAtertnileiliat It British Subject, who
bears with hit he right to a habeas co'pus, should, in
any country-where the British flag is flying. and a Bri-
tish Minister received, be thus incarcerated for six
months and 25 days, and yet no criminal charge pre-
ferred against him before the constituted tribunals of that
country.
" All reason for doubt upon a circumstance seemingly
so improbable, rests upon a want of knowledge of the
perpetrator of this iniquity. Without a knowledge of
the character of Robespierre, of Denton, of Marat, the
crimes of the French revolution would be incredible.
" The reign of Rosas in Buenos Ayres is ' a reign of
terror,' and that terror is inspired by him through the
instrumentality, first of his secret assassination society—
the Masorca Club—and next, by his open, avowed, and
audacious cruelties.
" Tits man who thus dared to defy the British flag
and to reduce a British Minister to silence, whilst he tried,
by a torturing incarceration, to kill a British subject, is
a man, the world may be assured, who, when his pas-
sions and his interests are bound by no check, will
commit crimes that nature itself will shudder to hear of.
" If men did not know that an innocent subject of the
Queen of Britain had been thus treated by Rosas, they
would, for the sake of humanity, doubt that such crimes
would be committed as those that I am now about to
mention. They will be found appalling ; but, what is
more appalling than their dreadful details, is the reflec-
tion that they are not all the evil Rosas has done—they
are specimens of the crimes that he has committed, and
that he is even now perpetrating."

ONLY A FIDDLER ! and O. T.; or, LIFE IN
DENMARK. Translated by Mary Howitt. 3 Vo.'s
This is another - of Mrs. Hoivitt's admirable transla-
tions. The English public owe her a debt of gratitude
for thus enabling them to enjoy the literature of the
North, which has, hitherto, be n as a sealed book. It
is only a few months since we were first introduced ti
Christian Anderson, in his beautiful tale of the " Impro-
visator° ;" and already we have a second work by the
same author, translated with equal fidelity and sprit.
Me.s. Hewitt seems to have thoroughly understood the
author, and gives us his ideas in her own beautiful lan-
guage. These volumes contain two stories of a very dif-
ferent character—they show the versatility of the
writer's genius. The sr cord tale, "O. T.; or, Life
Denmark,' is, apparently intended to contrast with th'k
" Improvisator() ; or, Life in Italy." Instead of the rap-
turous descriptions of American skies, or the glowing
language with which he painted the fair country of his
heart, we have minute details of domestic life, finished
portraits of private individuals, and admirable sketches
of Danish life, both iu the country and the capital. But
it is in the first story or“ Only a Fiddler!" that we recog-
nise the author of the "Improvisatore." Here the poet is
himself again. It is a beautiful and melancholy history,
full of tenderness and truth ; the sorrows of the child of
poverty and genius, toiling on his weary way, unknown
and unloved, are powerfully pourtrayed by one who has
felt them all. In writing the history of Christian, the
author remembered his own a lventurous childhood,
and, probably, the following advice has been more than
Once offered to himself

" The Count looked compassionately on him, and Christian
pressed the hand of the kind gentleman to his lips, wetted
it with his tears, and besought him to let him be his servant.
He would clean his boots and shoes, run errands for him, or
whatever the it might be, if he would only assist him, so
that he might be able to learn what was necessary, that at
length he might beemie such an artist as those of whom he
had told him. _ . .

" Yet, my good youth,' said the Count, that is not so
easy as you fancy it to be. Besides this, you must be pos-
sessed of a great deal of genius; Mid whether that is the case
or no, time can only prove. You must never forget that you
are a poor child! 1f you are possessed of real genius it will
make for itself a track, though you may have to buffet about
on the sea for yet another lung year. Per aspera ad astra !
Adversity purifies. If it be so that anything is to come out
of you. a higher power will help you; that you may of a
surety believe ! I, alas! can do nothing for you; I have so
many others to care for.'
" Withlthese words he drew out his purse and gave the boy
a silver dollar, repeating at the saute time the consoling
assurance that real talent always made for itself a way. He
then folded his cloak more closely about him, and leaned his
head on the wall in order to sleep.
" Those were Icarus-wings which he fixed on the shouters
of Genius—boldly formed wings; but they were of lead. His
• words, however, were the old theme, which from generation
to generation has sounded in the ears of Genius, and which
will ye', for centuries to come, be variously sounded, as long
as the world remains the same as that which gave.the poison,.
cup to Socrates and to Christ the crown of thorns."
The history of the poor youth, who, was " Only a
Fiddler," is full of interest, for it of truth ; while
the adventures of the beautiful Jewess, Naomi, possess
all the adventitious charms of romance. Every page
contains some beautiful expression or Some bright
thought, like the following :
" Dead! a world of sorrow lies in this one word. It is a
two-edged sword, which, at the same time that it murders
the beloved of our heart, penetrates so deeply into the bosom
that everything around us becomes dark, even though the
sun shine upon millions of happy beings. A single word,
short as the other, is able to drop consolation into the sick
heart and vouchsafe assistance ; it is—God !"
We find here the same ardent lore of Italy which cha-
racterised the former work, but it is no longer .a joyous
description of the beautiful country—it is the distant as-
pirations of a child of the North for the road of smiles
and sunshine. The Alps are the goal of all his deires.
He wishes to fly wi, h the storks from the snows of his own
home, and seek the land of his love and his dreams.
The following is one of his numerous allusions to his be-
loved Italy :
" Her though's were dreaming of the peninsular, and
therefore she did not enjoy the present ; they flew to the true
country of the Fata Morgana, towards Italy's sacred halls of
art.. The Alps_ are their portals, the eagle a sparrow, which
builds its nest in their cornice; the pine-trees lift up their
lofty columns with their evergreen capitals. Here is the
home of music; here blooms the rose in the Alpine snow.
The earth on which thy foot treads is drunken with the blood
of her noblest, is sanctified by the marble with which the
temples of antiquity are raised. Into the dead stone is life
breathed ; it becomes an image which. ravishes thy soul.
The sea is beautifully blue as the petal of the corn-flower,
transparent as the drops of the fountain. Houris, lovely as
those from the paradise of Mahomet, smile on thee, land of
music and of colouring—ltalia!
" Thither! ' sang the poet of Mignon, and a thousand
hearts repeat, as a lamenting echo, the words of painfully
sweet longing, which will never be realised."

SPANISH DEBT. .
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUM

Silt,—as the time for announcing the nature of M. Mon's
new arrangement approaches, the different creditors seam on
the qui rice as to their allotments under it. Some say,
" Carry out the arrangement of 1843," and they are forth-
with answend by other creditors, who say, " It never has been
carried out in its real meaning, and at any rate is now de-
funct by bankruptcy." One. thing appears tolerably clear,
viz :—'That it was unfair to the Cortes bondholders, ab initio,
•ind therefore that a just Minister of Finance would hail any
lawful opening for adjusting the equities of the various
claimants upon the Spanish Treasury; at the tame tune the
odds arc fearful, and it needs a firm mind to resist the many
importunities assailing him to continue the dishonest alvan-
!ages which appear hitherto to have been practically obtained
( whatever was he intent) by the previous French creditors, and
those who became new creditors in 1834, over the Cortes loan
holders in respect to their unpaid interest, The parties either
by themselves, or by representation, are as follows :—Gueb-
herd's Loan, Routes Perpetuelles Loan, New Loan of 1834,
and all holders of principal with simple interest, v. Arrear of
interest from 1823 to 1834 on the Cortes Loans, and its com-
pound intiaes—or, four to one. Will the righteous and just
principles of the Spanish financier turn the scale?—Verrons.
Your obedient servant, and subscriber,

RATs.--*-These obnoxious and disgusting vermin
are so numerous in the vicinity of Messrs. Goodhall's wharf,
situate on the margin of the Regent's Canal, St. Pancras,
that they may be observed in open day parading on the foot-
way, despite of dogs and cats, which appear to entertain a
neighbourly- respect. for them, They have burrowed the
banks through until the latter assume the complexion of an
extensive honeycomb, and they are so daring that they will
walk into persons' houses and sniff about the rooms in the
presence of the inmates, who (females in particular) are fear-
fully alarmed at the sight of these obtrusive animals.
