been employed on this service, merit the hig!wht enco-

well-laid plans of the Officers conducting t!,etn, and the
zeal,- promptitude, and perseverance with which they
were carried into effect; and where so-many have ren-
dered themselves conspicuous, I feel it dillitallt co do
justice to their individual merit'

TORTURES OF THE EMPECINADO.

Tr e following is a copy of one of four letters ad-
dressed by the mots er of the Empecinado to King
Ferdinand and the English Ambassador at Madrid :

CASTIULLO as MIRO, Jung 26, 2825.
" SlRZ—Lucian Dies, the mother of General Don
'Juan Martin, the Empecin rclo, full of sorrow, and
kneeling at the feet of your Majesty, represents to your
Majesty that the horribe situation of her son, the cruel-
ties esercise3 towards him—cruelties unheard-of among,
Catholics, or among any people where laws existH
oblige her to invite your Majesty, by your clemency
and justice, to protect innocence and punish a immality.
Up to the present moment, Sire, the complaints of woe
of your best defenders, and of one who ha, conferred.
Idays of glory on your arms, have not succeeded in
Iteachi,;g the ears of your Majesty. This has, no doubt,
been occasioned by concealed rivals,who have obstructed
the way to the throne.
" The Empecinado, Sire,—that man who, in 1.806,
was the author of the most generous and magnani-
mous revolution which has,been witnessed for ages—
! that man, who without listening to any voice but that
of his patriotism, and his love for yeor M jesty, under-
took the perilous en terprite ot 'apposing the pr ojectagaii
the hishetto omnipotent Nap•le,in: 2nltrepl4cisqs.Lcisii •
Majesty on the throne, of, Sia.r/e.c..ffib4;
.

44 Who, Sire, could surprise the gracious heart of your
Majesty, to place in the hands of a traitor the tate of
the greatest of your subjects.? 13/h4t could a vial,
conducted by a judge and au attorney, mortal enemies
to the accused, assisted .by bribed and 1.11,e witnesses,
lead to, but a conviction of crime resting on calumny
and fal.ehood?

" I therefore supplicate your Arijesty for clemency;
being afraid that ihey may be able t 3 surprise your
Royal mind into a judgment against the Empecinado,
whom the hoJour of your Majesty,that of the nation, that
of public justice, cur laths, reli?ion, and the rights
f nations call upon you to save. It, in spite of this;
Sire, it should be said to your Majesty that the Empc-
cinaio is cr mina!, I assure you on my life that he is a
loyal subj ct of your Majesty, and that your Majesty
may avail yourself of his services against your enemies;
assured that he will shed his last drop of blood in your
defence. Moreover, Sire, your Majesty is personally.
acquainted wi h the Empecinado, and knows that a
man who is a better warrior than a politician may have
been misled by the brilliant the•iries which have seduced
so many Spaniards. But, to be an enemy of your Majesty,
never ! The Empecinado, that name which your Majesty
has ennobled,th at riarne‘., filch is synonymouswith loyalty
to Ferdinand VII. is sufficient to confound all his adversa-
ries. Thus, then, jibe is condemned for past disturbances,
in contempt of the sacred capitulation which he claims
in your name, let your M4jesty deign to recollect that
the Empecinado is c• merited, and impose silence on
those who would endeavour to break through the rights
of nations, and the laws of good faith, on which rests
the security of States.
In fine, Sire, let your Majesty act as your con-
science dictate:, despising the artifices opposed to the
liberation of the Empecinado, in the confidence that no
subj ct of your Majesty adores you mere, or has served
you better than him.

" Such, Sire, is the prayer of an anguished mother,
who hopes in your clemency, and trusts that if your
Majesty do not call him round your throne for your
defence, your Majes,T will at least cause the capitula-
tion to be respected, and order him to receive a passr
pit to leave your dominions.

.1 May the LORD protect the important life of your Majeat .
With all humility. (Signed) " LUCIA DIENto

Letters from Smyrna, dated 28th of October, son.
tradict the rumours I.stely prevalent, that the export of
silk from Turkey was allowed. These letters state that
the prohibition continued in force. There was no poli-
tical intelligence, and no allusion whatever to the large
fit.et expected from Alexandria.
A letter from Jalapa, dated October 4, states, that
the Castle of St. Juan deloa, so long held. by the
Spaniards, opposite Vera Cruz, was at last likely to
yield, and that very soon, as the time was gone by
when the usual supplies were thrown in, and a greater
naval force blockaded the place than all the Spanish
ships is those spas could possibly contend with. Propo-
sals had already been made by the Governor of the
Castle, but.tt sy were re;ected, as it was. felt that in six
weeksor two months at ft!tt.e,:t the ga-rims must yield
4t:disctetion.
