!There have been no new arrivals from Spain since
our last ; but we have seen several letters detailing
the particulars of events before known CO us. Among '
others, we have seen a letter relating to the death of
Marquis de SOLANO. He was, it, appears, taken by
the people from his residence, with a view to convey
him to the ordinary place of Public exectitinn ; tut,
on the way, such rumours prevailed as deprived the.
people of all patience, and the Marquis was assasinated
in the public streets. He was killed by a handspike.

Instructions have been, sent to all the Ottt-ports,.l
with directions to release all persons charged with dis-

Similar instructions were sent off to the Lord Lieute-

them every possible assistance.
