We have received another file of the United States
Papers, from which we quote the following:
NEW YORE, NOVEMBER, 4.
Lieutenant Hunter, of the frigate United States, has
arrived at Philadelphia. He confirms the account of

Bolivar's victory, and is confident ofthe success:of the
:Patriot cause. Ali well on board the United States ;
she was about to sail from Callao on a cruise. Lieu-
tenant Hunter crossed over from the Pacific shore, with
dispatches for Government.
The American Agent' has effected a peace between
the Republic of Mexico and the Missouri Indians, and
thereby restored the lucrative interior trade between the
United States and Mexico. The Camanches, a powerful
tribe, threaten the Osages with war, but the spread of the
white population, will soon prevent the Indian contest!.

This forenoon we received a file of Spanish Papers.
The following is from the Madrid Gazette, of the
25th ultimo.

MADRID, NOVEMBER !4.
The King our Sovereign being informed of the re-
sult of the proceedings commenced by the Intendant
of Police of La Mancha, and the Commissioner Don
Pedro Silva, in consequence of the information given to

the former, by the Alcalde of Alcubillas, relative to the
conspiracy suppo,ed to be carrying on in that province;
his Majesty has been pleased to resolve, that the inno-
cence of all the persons implicated in these proceedings,
who have been imprisoned and prosecuted so entirely
without reason, be published in the Gazette, that the
said proceedings may not, at any time, injure their good
character and reputation. (Here follows the list of the
individuals in question, about forty in number, inha-

bitants of different tons in La Mancha).
All honourable men, and those who have any feel-
ings of humanity, beheld with the greatest horror and
just indignation the atrocious and scandalous conduct
of the Constittitionalists of Corunna, the cowardly as-
sassins of 51 of their brethren, of whom 43 at least

were guilty of no other crime thaw that of having e.
mained faithful to their King and the laws of their

country, and of having attempted, like true Spaniards,
to defend these valuable objects and the religion of

their fathers, which they saw despised and persecuted

by those who, in their destructive Constitution, bad
sworn to preserve and protect it. Now that the pro-
ceedings are terminated which were commenced in
consequence of that lamentable event, which 6114:d all
Europe with indignation, we insert an extract hoer
hem which cannot fail to excite interest and to renew

the grief for the fate of the victims, and indignation
towards their assassins. _ _

Tne Governor of the place, Don Pedro Mundez Vigo,
gave orders to his agents on the 15th, 16th, and 20th
of July, 1823, to convey from ,the Royal Prison to the
Fort of St. Antony, a considerable number of prisoners.
This was done ; and by his further orders, they were
removed from the fort, and put on board a vessel of
Seville, called Santo Cristo de los Ajligidos, between 11
and 12 o'clock in the night of 221 July.

(Here follow the names of the individuals : 43 are
stated to be for political opinions and attachment to the
Royal Government. Among them are several Officers,
and some Priests; the other eight for ordinary crimes.)
All these prisoners were escorted by some of the National
Militia, and some of the Sacred Battalion, who were
also accompanied by Commissioners of the Governor,
who were informed of the tragical fate prepared for
the unhappy prisoners, who were immediately stripped
of their garments, effects, and money,.bound, and put
under the hatches. The vessel set sail in the night, but
in the morning anchored again, and quitted the bay
about one-in the afternoon of the 23d, at which time
there came on board a reinforcement of the national
troops from this City, and from Ferrol, which had
been fetched by one of the Commissioners. When
at three leagues distance from this port, the prin-
cipal Commissioner gave orders for the prisoners
to come on deck as he called over their names,
from a list which he read; this being done, he desired
them to sit down on the sides of the vessel, offering them
bread and wine, which everybody' declined : he in-
formed them that he was going to remove them into a
vessel that was in sight; he ordered them to be bound
again, and to go under the hatches. Soon after he br-
dered twenty of them on deck, and one of them seeing
that everything was ready to throw them into the sea,
made a motion to rush on the principal Commissioner:
then both those of the escort and other subaltern agents
drew their daggers, which they had ready, began by
stabbing them, and in this state threw them into the
sea. The remainder were taken out one by one ; the
said Commissioner, who was close to the hatches,
seizing them by the neck he ordered them to go for-
ward, and as they passed along the side of the vessel,
knocked them overboard. One of the Priests began, in
a loud voice, to sing the Miserere, and the other victims
struggled with the waves and with death, while the
escort sung patriotic songs; such was the cruelty of the
assassins, that, fearing one of them who kept above
water would save himself, they put two sailors on board
a boat, who beat him on the head with their oars and
killed him. Not content with this, they gave the last
and most horrible proof of inhumanity. They coolly
divided the garments, money, &c. which they had
taken, and having consummated this unheard of crime,
returned to the city on the 24th July, in the morning.
The Regency of the Kingdom gave orders, on the
124th September, 1823, to a Magistrate of the Royal
`l'ribunal of Galicia, to proceed against the authors and
accomplices of so cruel a crime. All the proceedings
having been carried on in the regular forms of law,
sentence was pronounced on the 24th July last; by this
sentence, six of the accused were ordered to be hanged,
and the remainder to various terms of imprisonment in
different presidios, to payment of costs, and to fines : the
property of the criminals to be applied to the benefit o
the families of the victims, The sentence being referred
by his Majesty to the Supreme Council, for examination,
was approved by his Majesty; when it was announced to

. . -...
the triminitt, most of them heard it with indiffereuieil
and Joseph Lizaro, a shoe-maker", of Ferfol, sung therm.
gala. The endeavogrs of the iecular and iegulat ecclez
siastics to induce them to receive the consolations die-
ligion were in vain.
The people are stated to have behaved with the ut-
most decorum, at witnessing the execution of this just
though awful sentence.
The shoe-maker killed himself, by opening some veins
with a small knife. Two others poisoned themselves, by
taking opium. The three dead bodies were suspended
to the gallows, and six others of the condemned were
hanged. -

It is reported in the City, that an expedition 43,000
men is on the point of leaving Spain for South America,
but the rumour is not entitled to credit.
