—Don Manuel Barrella (the former t:orregidori had'
his house adjoining the prison, into which communi-
cation was had from the second Soo He humanely
conducted us to his own chamber, gave his bed up
to poor d'Arbell, and assisted in was!ting, his wounds:
they were numerous and dangerous, having had likes
and knives thrust into almost every part of his body.
About half-past eleven there appealed a great stir
outside the prison; all the guards were called off but
four • and about noon, looking from the v,ind ,w, I
saw ;he troops drawn up in columns in front of the
city gates. We were pre,ently informed that the mob
were murdering and plundering the Chinese in the
, Escalta—that all the Spaniards were getting into the
city with their families as fast as possible.
Our friend, the former Corregidor, received a let-
ter from the Government, reque'ting him to resume
his office, as the old cowardly Count had disappeared.
He immediately mounted his horse, and read a Pro-
clamation to the mob which the Governor had sent
him, ordering them to disperse, or the troops should
attack them, and hang every fifth man they could
catch. The mob immediately dispersed, and went
quietly to their houses.

shore, and buried in a heap, without the shadow of a
religious ceremony, or a sign to mark their graves.
Six more persons, Europeans, names unknown.
Eighty-five Chinese are known to have been mur-
dered': but it is supposed there were many more.
Three Spaniards killed by mistake : the mob, not
recognising them, and supposing them to be foreigners.
Note by the writer of the letter from Macao :—This
seems to be a mistake, as mit of the other Gentle-
men from Manila assert positively that not a single
Spaniard lost his life, and no Spanish property was
plundered, unless what might have been jointly owned
by them and the Chinese. The sudden Proclamation
from the Governor, on hearing that the mob had be-
gun to massacre the Chinese, proves that there was
Spanish property in danger, for the murdering and
plundering of the European strangers seemed to have
no effect upon him whatever !!!

REMONSTRANCE
AGAINST PRUSSIAN AGGRESSION.

EXTRACT OF A LITTER, DATED FRANKFORT, APRIL 12.
The German Confederation has now to decide on
a complaint of the Duke of Anhalt Coethen against
the Cabinet of Berlin. The matter in dispute is im-
portant. The following is in substance the aUe4ation
of the Duke : we shall also give the answer, which no
doubt will soon be made on the part of Prussia : '
The Prussian Financial Administration has planned
and executed a system of Custom-house regulations
'that, without any previous negotiation, subjects the
Duchy of Anhalt, which is surrounded by the Prus-
sian territories, to indirect imposts of the Court of
Berlin. The Houses of Anhalt regard the proceed-
ing as an open attack on their rights of Sovereignty,
and as ade frcto meditization. The representations
made on this subject, during two years, by the in-
jured party, to the Cabinet of Berlin, supported by
the rights of relationship, of mutual obligation, and
by the authority of various Treaties, produced no
result whatever.
Under circumstances so urgent, the Duke of An-
halt Coetben took upon himself in person the duty
of attending to the interests of his House, and during
the conferences which took place at Vienna, in the
year 1820, repaired thither for the purpose of pro-
curing new guarantees for his rights from the dif-
ferent Powers of Germany, then assembled in that
capital. Prussia pretended that she was entitled to
exercise an authority beyond her boundaries, to put in
action a system entirely arbitrary, without the least
regard to the rights of Sovereigns surrounded by
her territories, even to the extent of cutting them off
at her pleasure from all communication with the rest
of the world. _ _

A great question has thus .arisen in what circum-
stances a European State is authorized to act within
its own boundaries without any other restriction than
its own will, or if in its interior organization it is
absolved from any responsibility with regard to its
co-estates. This difficulty, which now agitates all
the political world, has been yet undecided. The
Dukes of Anhalt ought.,to be convinced in seeing the
relation they have to States in a powerful condition,
that they ought not at once to attack the system of
the Customs, however they were hurtful to them.—
They ought to betake themselves, as their only re-
source in such a case, to treaties. The Court of
Vienna had declared the navigation of the Etbe,
which traverses the country of Anhalt, free and in-
dependent of any Ctutom whatever. It was of im-
portance to the Dukes of Anhalt to preserve a chan-
nel of communication which HEAVEN, as it were,
had granted them. As they had succeeded in causing
the stipulations of the Congress at Vienna in favour
of the Elbe to be executed, which, besides, were found
firmly and intimately connected with all the other
stipulations of the Congress, and which ought not to
rest on a basis less secure than those which have been
already adopted in relation to territorial right, or the
