fastened them in the fprpcasue. by sinking
down the scuttle and putting a quantity of

fore the wind, set fire 10 a barrel Of tar on the
quarter deck, and then left her forgot to
mention that on lh"ir first boarding her, they
immediately Killed the man that had the
watch on deck. The poor fellows, feeling The
fire approach them, redoubled their strength.
and at last burst The hatch open and got on
deck. They found the vessel so much burnt
they could not save her, they then made raft

the Constitntionalists sis forever LOST
in Spain !" while it is admitted that the
Cortes remained at Seville on the 9Th
June, and bad shown no disposition to
remove the government from that city.
We had formerly a rumour that The
people of Cadiz had refused to receive
either the King or the Cortes. The
story now is, that they were willing to
admit the former, but would have moth
ing to do with the latter. There APP
pears to be no truth in either of these
rumours. The traitor Abisbal had ar
rived at Bayonne, and is stated to have
owed his life TO French regiment
which arrived at the moment he was
about to be shot, Assuming it as fact,
that the Paris papers give faithful ac-
count of the actual state of matters in
Spain, the London Courier triumphantly
remarks -" 1t may be boldly inferred
from all the facts, that the Constitution
alists do not think of opposing 10 the
French single mass of 10000, if we
except the brave Nina in Catalonia
On the other hand, if the French, when
they reach Seville, do not obtain a
speedy arrangement, or the overthrow
of the government, they may be some
what embarrassed in so extensive line,
as the national troops and partisans that
have fled at their approach, must, how
ever, be somewhere. But as person
of distinction with the army has ex-
pressed himself, "Letus not be uneasy
the Constitutional germ is removed
from the Pyrenees the Spaniards will
perhaps tear each other to pieces for
ten years; the constitution of the Cor
ties will disappear; and whatever may
happen in Spain it will not be re-estab-
lshed for long time; the defenders of
monarchy and of religion are strong e.
nough TO combat and to exterminate the
jacobins and the 100000 French who
have entered Spain will know very we'll
how to find their way back to the Py-
renees. How far the accounts given in
the papers are to be relied on, may be
inferred from the fact developed at the
late London meeting, that attempts had
been made to bride certain Editors TO
publish articles favourable to the views
of the French government, and from
the circumstance, which we learn. by
the present arrival, that two Paris
Journals, the Courier Francais, and the
Pil0te, both of which had been in the
practice of telling more of the truth
than was thought convenient, had been
suspended for fifteen days. When cor
ruption and coercion are at work to de-
stroy the liberty of the press, little re-
lance Can he placed in the statements
of those who make use of such unprin-
cipled means.

OF SPAIN.


By the schr. Marion, Capt Pezant.
arrived on Saturday, in 5 days from Ha-
vana, we have files of the papers of
that place to the l4th inst. The Span
ish brig Treinta de Mayo arrived at Ha-
vana, in 80 days from Corunna, furnish
es Madrid dates 10 the 1st of June, and
Corunna dates to The 9th Of the same
month.
By these accounts it would appear,
that, Notwithstanding the late mysteri-
Gus detection of AbisbaI from the Pat
riot cause, the Constituencies contin-
ue to be animated BY good degree OF,
enthusiasm, and il was hoped the cause
of liberty might eventually triumph.
By private letter from Madrid, dat
ed 28th of May, the most deplorable
account is given of the excuses COM
mitted in that capital by the French and
Spanish guards, on the persons and
property of those who were known 10
be favourable 10 the Constitution -
They had demolished the houses of
those persons who had served in the
Constitutional Militia, and committed
the worst species Of violence on the
unhappy females. To live there is
represented TO be the same as living a
mongst wild beasts and that it is impos-
sible TO describe the barbarities of the
Spanish canailIe and the French SOL
derry.
The chamber where the Cortes held
their sittings, has been defaced, and the
hangings and tapestry torn down.
Such, says the letter, is only brief ac-
count of the many horrors with which
they are surrounded.
The warlke operations in the Pc
ninsula, are regarded in Cuba with the
greatest solicitude and anxiety. The
people of that island appear determin-
ed to adhere to the Constitution, even
should the Constitutional government
of the Cortes be put down in old Spain.
In that event, there is strong proba-
bility that the island Of Cuba 7goald de-
clare itself Independent. This language.
was openly held at the iasi sitting of
the Aynntamiento at which the Gov.
Gen. Wives, had taken great umbrage,
and evinced much unessiness. At this
meeting, the GOVERNOR was called up
on to answer explicitly, whether be
would support the Constitution Of 1919.
His answer was ambiguous and eyasive
-" that he could be true TO his oath.''-
This reply was by no means satlsfacto-
ry to the city authorities, who have
since manifested a total dlstrust of the
liberal sentiments Of the Goyernour-
On the evening Of the 10Th inst. all the
regular troops at Havana went into
quarters. The GOVERNOR will doubt

Twenty-six camels have lately aIriv-
ed here, from Constantinople, loaded
with munitions of war which are TO be
sent to Echelle-Neuve. II appears that
a descent upon Samos is again in con-
temptation. Already, for this purpose,
they have begun to construct vessels at
ChangIi, near Echelle-Neuve. If Sa-
mos is seriously attacked-if the de-
scent is favoured by the Ottoman squad
ron, as it was at Scio, the same dread
ful results may be brought about by
similar causes. Samos is far from being
able to defend itself like Ipsara and Hy-
dra it is too extensive, and accessible
at too many points.

Charleston, Narch9.-Capt. Ross, ar
rived on Saturday frem Kingston and
Havana, brings the information that, just
before he LETT the latter place, a boat
with eight men had arrived at the Rig
las. They had escaped being captured
by the United States schooner Revenge,
Lieut.. Levy. The story current in
Havana, coming from these men, was,
that the Revenge came across their
schooner, "a piratical vesse) a short
time ago, of the Isle Of Pines, and that
an action commenced between the two
vessels, which they say lasted for four
hours. The Revenge proved too much
Tor the pirate; and the captain, with one
arm shot of, and seven men took their
boat to save themselves, and got into
the hatbor Of Havana. A great many
were killed and wounded on board their
vessel, which the Revenge succeeded in
securing. The prize is said TO be ma
med the iiebe, and was cut out Of Hava-
ma some time ago, and fitted out as a
pIratltai cruiser. She mounted one
long gun, and had crew of hlty men.
