Extract of a private letter from Tarragona, of the
25th ult.:--a This morning a very considerable portion
of the lower clasiei of the p:ople burst open the Excise
offices by force, and burnt and destroyed all the books
and papers, and carried away all the money they could
find. They tore down and destroyed the escutcheon
over the door, and gave a loose to every kind of excess.
The officers would have been massacred, had they not
saved themselves by_ flight. The Governor employed
all the means in his power to quell the riot, but without
success. The Algerines have already made 14 prizes,
and the fishermen ate 'afraid to put to sea.'
The Chamber of Finance of Copenhagen has issued
an ordonnance, by which it is permitted to the inhabi-
auks w pay a portion of their taxes for the ensuing year
in grain.
