ASS.ISSINA77ON OF LTELL, THE KING'S
MESSENGER, AT MADAID.

FURTHER PAR MOLAR&
The following extract of a letter, dated Madrid
the 28th ultimo, from an English Gentleman with
whom Mr. I.IfILL lodged, goes more into detail than
the account we published on Saturday
It is with clueing regret and pain I have to inform you of
the death of our poor friend Mr. Lyell, the messenger, who was
InhuManly murdered on Sunday, 91st July, between the hours.
of 10 and 12 in the forenoon. He was found dead in a ruinous
building called the Observatory, at the back of the Botamcal
Garden, near the Great House in the fields, called the China
Manufactory, which was blovin bp by the 'English Army. I
believe you and I have been there together. He had five wounds,
one in the groin, another about his bfart, and was much bruised
about the head. It appears by the evidence of the Surgeon, that
the wounds were ilia cted by a bayohet, or by the kind of sword
which is carried in walking stickt, What, indeed, astonishes us
so much in this tragical event is, that we have every reason to
believe be was not robbed. Ills clothes, consisting of a plain blue'
coat, grey wonted pantaloons, striped waistcoat, pair of strong
Engli.h shoes, cotton stocking*, white neckcloth, silk pocke -
handkerchief, with a-small Fr cock gold watch, eouff.boz, spec-
tacks, tooth-pick case, and penknife, were all found about him.
As soon as he arrived at Madrid he drew £3O of Mr. Vaughan,
almost all cf which was found in hls purtmanteau, besides about
40 ducats, and 13 XI Dank of England notes. Me. I.yell was
with us about tire weeks; dining that time I always found him
to be a steady, quiet, and inoffensive man. He lived in oar
house, and he and mysill were in the habt of walking out
together every evening, and to my knowledge he had no other
acqualiaacee.
You are to observe, that he wert out alone almost 2222 y
morning after breakfast, fur about an hour and a half. Now,
whether he made any acquaintance (which is not likely, DM
knowing the bilge:lse), or whether he had been watched by any
body, wears at a lola to know. He never intimated to me any
' such thing. _ _

" Nutw- nbstand:r: the 'iglu:re of the Judge, the police, and
Mr. Vaughan's news eniplqyed •on this melancholy occasion,
nothing yet has been ill`cu.ereil to lead to the detection of this
horrible murder. All remains a mystery, and, as It were. a
dream. It strikes me that it must have beets done by some sol•
diets, who were &aimed, and bad not time to rob him.
" The body Mr. Vaughan got leave, with a great deal of
trouble, to inter in the Convent garden, near our house, in
very decent coffir. All our family attended it to the grave, and
Mr. Vaughan read the service over it: suffice it to say. that no..
thing was wanting on our part to take the renaados of this on-
fortunate man to tt.e grave in a suitable manner. Pray say all
this to Mrs. Lyell.
" New Mei* sir, feral —Mr. Lyell went out about ten
o'clock on the Who of July, alone, in the morning ; but not re•
joining to dinner I was alarmed, and sent about to inquire after
him, but could bear nothing of him. About eleven o'clock at
night I dm tht proper to let Mr. Vaughan know, who desired
me to make ,trite search after him, but all in vain : we could
learn nothing of hint that night. On the following morning I
went out about six o'clock, and was told, o 3 inquiring, that a
man had been killed the day before; and on asking where the
body lay, was told at the Court prison to be owned: I itivantiy
ran th..re, and on asking the porter if pny English prisoner or
dead body was taken there, was told there was : I demanded to
see it, and in an instant was shewn the body of pow: Lye 4."

The official Gazette of this day publishes dispatches
received from Mexico, and historical particulars of
the rebel chief Morelos, who was shot at Mexico on
the rld of December last. The following is an ex-
tract:

Morelos was a native of Valladolid, and son of a
cabinet-maker. He..was upwards of fifty years of
age, and had three sons, the eldest of whom is thir-
teen. This boy he sent to South America for his
education, and kept the two others with him. Till
the age of twenty-tivehe devoted himself to agricul-
ture : he then pursued the career of letters, and en-
tered as a student in the college of Mexico, of which
the traitor Hidalgo was principal. He confined his
studies there to that of philosophy by day, and mo-
rality by night, as be says himself. When Hidalgo
'raised the standard of rebellion 'at Dolores, Morelos
was rector of Caracuaro. On hearing the intelli.
gene, he forsook his living. and hastened to join the
rebel ; having met with him at Charo, .he accompa-
nied him to lndaparapeo, where he resolved to ren-
der these pr.oripces independent, by availing himself
of the most favourable opportunity afforded by the
captivity of the King. Morelos undertook, as Lieu-
tenant to Hid..lgo, to raise troops on the coasts of
the South Sea, and to act conforasably with the verbal
instructions communicated to him, and which. were
merely to seize all the arms that he should find is the
places through which he might pass. He was to
usurp the authority, and to reinvest-those who held
it, provided they.were not Europeans. All the pro.
perry of the latter was to be seized, and the produce
applied to the subsistence of the troops ; and, after
securing their persons, he was to deliver them over
to the nearest Intendance. The principal commis-
sion of Morelos was to take the city of Acapulco.-
-This commission was accepted by Morelos. Con.
ceiving it to be incompatible with his sacred funetioie
he determined to repair to Valladolid, to coanuni-
cate his resolution to the Ecclesiastical Authority,
at the head of which the Coupe de Sierra Guedilthen
wasp in order that his living might be disposed of.
