From Spdm.--Capt. Brown, of bark
Ganges, from Malaga Oct TO-, informs
Messrs. Toplitf that 6000 men of the Car
list army were within one days march OF
Malaga when he sailed, and great conster-
: nation pervaded all ranks in that city. The
shipping IN harbor was crowded with men
women aud children, for protection. As
the progress of the Carlists had been mar
kcd by every excess, as they wreaked their
vengeance more particularly upon those
places which had proclaimed the Constitu-
ton or were in favour of it, the inhabitants
of Malaga had every reason TO fear the
worst consequences, should the Carlists en-
ter their city. Every preparation was max
ing to defend the place. About 5000 mill.
tia were enrolled, but had no leaders in
whom they had confidence consequently
great alarm existed, and business was at a
stand.
