iltse% having quitted on the 12th of October, at which
to ?id Rosas remained in power, thereby affording a
1)1,17. diction to the intelligence via Alicante (lately
galled by the Spanish papers). The following is an
I;act from a private letter, dated the 11th of Oct.:—
tlt 1„."11 will, no doubt, be aware we are now blockaded by
441ta'iglish and French naval forces. Vessels are allowed
141. the evening of the 23d to leave the port. The most
tli:e'rtan.t thing which has occurred latterly in this quarter is
1/4,,,,lniblication by the British and French Ministers now at
th.,'te Video, with their signatures, of a manifesto against
tie Government of this place, in which the system here car •
tie,(4lis in enne measure explained to the world. We regret
thi ildingly we, have not the means of procuring a copy of
*ill document, very few having been sent up here. You
, doubt see it in the newspapers. All former acciisa-
krt!' against this Government being unauthenticated by im-
itl Parties, or by parties of sufficient standing in society
weight to what they say, may have been locked on
114, Indifference, or as " newspaper stories ;" but this ma-
wll .1 signed by two Ministers Plenipotentiary, we think
Ithosiirprise the European public. A great many foreigners
that leave this place are doing so, and it may be by and
Ikt til'at we shall be glad to do so, for there seems no chance
ova erannation of the question at issue, except by the
11,jthrow of the Government of this place by force, eithey
Ivil" or foreign ; the former is hardly to be looked for
1.1.,1°,1t the assistance of thc. latter.
