twenty-five gun-boats. The action was Sc
we're and ended in almost the total destruction
OF the Spanish squadron; the brig and school,
ner were blown up, and the rest captured or
destroyed, with the exception of the schooner
Especuladoro, in which Commodore Laborde
made his escape to his ships lying outside the
bar. The Spaniards confess the loss of 1900
men, amongst whom they count 116 officers
out OF 100 men landed from the Commodore's
ship, only eleven returned. The corvette
Ceres landed also 100 men, but as she is de-
tanned to leeward by the current, it is NOT
known what number she lost.
General Morales remained in Marcaibc
with about 800 men, and short of provisions
but 1T is supposed he has been forced to sur.
render before this. His second and third in
command had arrived at Curacao in the fri.
gate, now repairing her spars and rigging in
that place.

The late Hail Storm.-s' The storm in
extent was about three miles from north
to south, and one and half from east to
west; Its duration was nearly half an
hour, during which time hail fell almost
sufficient to cover the surface of the
ground for nearly one mile square, in
the centre of the storm. These hail
stones were of an enormous size, being
from three to eight inches in crcumfer-
ence, and were accompanied with some
flakes of ice, from four to eight inches
in length, with ragged sides and irregu-
lar forms; they descended with such re-
markable force as 10 split shingles of
the roofs of buildings, break window
glass, and penetrate into every part of
many dwelling houses, and compelled
some families to flee to their cellars for
safety. Some parts of the clouds were
seen TO- disengage themselves from the
main body and dash upon the ground.

"that the Colonists are all weli-abun-

only of those who arrived in the last

their own imprudence, than from the

The last election, the object of which
was to renew the Greek legislative body

approved by all enlightened and Judi

have considered themselves as unjustly

In the case of DR.. James Hamilton. alias
Bedford, sc. an application was made to Judge
Whitman to issue writ of habeas corpus, which
was complied with, and hearing took place
in the Court House, on Wednesday afternoon.
The prisoner was ably defended by his coun-
tel, who endeavoured to procure his discharge
upon the ground that the commitment issued
by the justice of the peace did not charge
him with any specified crime, and that no
person had made oath, that he (the prisoner)
had perpetrated crime. 1t was stated, that
there was no authority other than newspa-
per account to warrant the belief that he was
criminal. Previous to any argument upon
the merits of the case, Mr.. Darling, acting
as public prosecutor, moved. for a suspen-
sion Of the judges decision, until the return Of

James Evarts committed robbery on the high
way, little north of Whitney's factory, in
the evening of Thursday last. He met a
young laboring man, traveller, with pack,
and demanded his money, threatening to take
his life if he refused. The man gave the lit
tie money he had, and proceeded to the facto-
ry, and gave the alarm.-The people turned
out and soon arrested him. He was brought
to the city on Friday morning, and whilst his
keepers were consulting with the States At

ST. JOHNS, N. B. AUGUST 8.

A few days since, young man of the name
of Smith, was going from the South Branch of
the Oromocto towards Shin Creek, carrying a
pack with provisions to camp where party
to which he belonged were numbering. In
following spotted line through the woods,
in very thick alder swamp, about noon, dis
covered at distance offour roods before him,
an animal of dark colour, coming directly
towards him. Not being armed, and taking it
for bear, he instantly made for tree, and
had got up about IL feet when the creature
approached it. Having jack knife, he i'm
mediately cut loose the provision, in hopes
that its attention would be attracted there
with; but not appearing TO notice it, it sprang
from the ground, and at once gained the feet
OF its victim, tearing off both shoes, with
part Of the right heel. Several times it as
cended tree about six feet from that on
which Smith was, and from thence leaped on
its object, tearing the flesh from his legs and
right arm in a shocking manner, endeavouring
each time TO pull him down to the ground.
The last attempt it made, Smith gave it two
wounds with his knife in its neck, and which
is probably the means that prevented the ami
NAL attempting further violence, as it then
disappeared. The cries of the sufferer were
heard by the party in the camp, (Which was
distant only half mile from the spot where
she was attacked) who instantly followed the
found, and carried their lacerated comrade
there. He has since been removed to town
for medical attendance, but with faint hopes Of
recovery,

SPAIN.
LONDON, JULY "a.

LONDON, JULY "a.
BY the last accounts from Spain, Nina
was said to be at Barcelona, preparing
that city for the most rigorous defence.
D'Eroles is said to have quilted Berga
10 march to Carbon, the blockade of
which was not formed, and he detached
party of the Faith banditti to be sta
STONED before the fort Seu. Ramagosa
had fortified the walls of the town of
Seu; the troops before the fortress still
occupied the same positions. The Con-
stitutionalists had fortified themselves at
the village of Castle Clutot, in the rear
ofthe forts. Some miquelets are said to
have escaped from that quarter, where
they were cautioned, and to have gone
to the neighboring mountains. Money
was at Badelonne.-It was believed he
was going TO reconnoitre the enyirons of
Barcelona. Quesada is said to have
made most melancholy representation
to the Regency of the state of his divis-
ion-the nakedness of his followers, ex-
posed to every sort of privation, requir-
ing the most immediate succour. SaIa-
manca, it appears, from its vicinity to
Ciudad Rodrigo, has been subject to the
visits Of the Constitutionalists, who sur
prised this city only short time since:
about $50 cavalry penetrated to Sala-
manca, where they remained twelve
hours; they made prisoner of the
Royalist, General Base Court, and car
ried off more than 100000 reals from
the Government chest. Letters from
Madrid announce, that the Constitution
al Guerilla leader Amor, had succeeded
the Cure Merino, at Caseres. This an
cient companion of Nina arrived lust
when Merino had completed his organ
ization of every thing for the Regency.
The new authorities had Just time to fly
and save themselves at Talavera de la
Regina. Amor had with him from 7 to
800 cavalry. Thus it appears that what
ever the French and Regency do one
day, is undone by the Consttutionalists
in arms the next, and that the Royalist
system has no permanence whatever, or
any support but foreign force. In the
same way COSTA was surprised by the
Empecinado, who levied 100000 reals
from the chapter of the cathedral Thus
all through Spain the Constitutionalists
are beginning to be active and in arms.
In Andalusia they are equally active.
Extract of letter from Alicant to a
gentleman in Boston, dated 1st July.
"The French entered Valencia on the
18th ult. without the least opposition on
the part of Ballasteros' army, which
was anxious to fight; but the plan of
treason, no doubt adopted, is to let the
French take possession Of the whole
country. Shameful to tell, that with
fine army, at least the greater part oft
good troops, the whole of this Province
is in the power of the enemy, less nu-
merous than the Spaniards, without the
