1t is difficult to give you an idea OF
what is going on here. Since few zeal
Gus patriots wished to carry the portrait
of Riego in procession, to avenge him for
the outrages which he has been constantly
receiving from the Ministry, measures
the most severe and The most dangerous
to liberty have been taken. 1t is the
new Political Chief, San Martin, who has
undertaken the task of binding down the
people Of the capital; task which he per-
forms with rare talent. The Club of
La Fontana is closed; the most distin-
guished speakers are in prison; the proprie-
tor of the house where the Club is held
eroans in a dungeon. Three Colonies of
the garrison, Serrano, Torrijos, & Cerut-
ii, who opposed every measure hostile to
the people, are in prison, and in solitary
confinement.

The improvement, as we have before
stated, in the Quarter just ended, as
compared with the Quarter in 1920, is
above $4,000. This improvement is
in the customs, abaye 100000; in the
