avail myself Ofthe moment and write
| you from friends house, where | have
sought shelter from the enemies of liberty and
Justice.
Riego arrived here, some days since. in q
| fishing boat, from Tariifa-took command of
the army arrested Zayss, and several other
Generals, and Canons of the Churches, Friars
| &c. and sent them on board vessels. Tho
night before last eight of these unfortunate be-
ings, Including poor old lame Clergymanl
| were taken on shore, escorted out of town
placed as near each other as possible, and then
shot and bayoneted.
Within these four months, we have paid
| three or four contributions, principally laid on
commercial people, who, by being deprived
Of all trade by the unpopular prohibitory sys
tenn, have been reduced to begsary with the
exception of half doZen.)
And Riego now calls again on this inpo
verished class for 100000 TO be paid instant
"; 1000 are required of me, aud from
| Others IN proportion. AS we have no infer
course by letter with any place, we have not
the means OF meeting this demand at a moment
when eur money is already distributed in pre-
pairing Tor the vntage-coDsequently the
whole body of the merchants al this place are
under arrest, some 10 the common iaiI, others
IN the municipality, few at home under guard .
In addition to number Of people auartered
on me, have a guard of five soldiers at nv
door, to whom am required to paw 81 10
per day, till comply with the heavy pecu-,
| mary requisitiop.
| RiegUhas threatened TO make an exam
pie. by shooting some of us. My partner il
among the arrested, and with them, is in the
course OF the day, lis said, to be thrown into
tn. Common Jail. Should be compelled to
| pay, IT will be done under a protest and shall
claim the protection Of the u. s. and their as
sistance TO obtain return ofmy property.
! "FOreiga ConsHls are not exempt from the
unjust contributions. Mr.. Barrel, the Am.
Consul; Mr.. Bolin, the Swedish Consul, Mr.
ROos, the Prussian Consul, and many others,
are in confiDement.*
Ii is this moment reported that he who
does not pay shall be shot and his house and
effects be given up 10 plumber.
| Many persons wish for the entry of the
French troops To restore good order as they
lear the place may be given up 10 plumber,
and that they shall see renewal of the scenes
of the 10th of May.
On the 26th inst. in the evening, body
ofinfantry and cavalry, took the road to An
tIguera ii is uncertain whether the object is to
levy property requisiiion, or collect part
OF Ballesteros' Army, said to be in that neigh
bourhood, who would not abide by the CAPT.

/ Most the towns near this are occupied
by the MaecoDients, and the Constituencies
occasionally enter, as they have at Comares,
and sacked the town, church, &c. The plate
that was found in the Churches and Converts,
has been taken out, and the inhabitants from
the latter have disappeared, so that not one
oil this class, formerly so numerous is to be-
found.
This inst. | p NJ a part Of the cavalry
that went against Antiguera are coming in, hav
ing failed in their object and suffered con
sderably.
1t would appear that Riego is going to
take his troops away by sea, as several boa IS
have been bought up, on board of ~ hich they
are placing guns, to protect large vessels which
are receiving water and provisions for a num-
Der of men. On the other hand 400 cOnvicts
with masons, carpenters, &c. are repairing
Gibrasarro, an old Moorish Castle which o.
verlooks the City, but not tenable as militia
ry position, even when well fortified unless for
moment, to give time for the troops TO make
their escape 10 the mountains.
