POSTSCRIPT.
We received our files of London and Liverpool
papers from the Gsrrick, at 3 O'Clock. There is
little of general interest from England though
from Spain the intelligence is Of considerable i'm
portance. The period of prorogation having ex-
pired, Parliament assembled pro lorna, on the
18th ult, and was farther prorogued until the Cd
of February.
Lord Hill died on the 10Th, at his seat, Hard
wicke Grange, in his list year.
The money market had undergone no variation.

FROM SPAIN.
The latest dates from Barcelona are up to the
5tl1. For many days before the distuTbanc es had
continued to increase. Frequent scufles and
Sigh, tumuts arose, and on the morning of the
l4th matters came to an issue. The crowds in
the Plaza San Jayne were so numerous and so
tumutuous that it became absolutely necessary to
dislodge them The advance was sounded or
ders were given ; and the troops proceeded apps
de charge against the mob. The National Guards
combat soon became general.
The military fought with bravery and the city
was speedily put in state of effective defence.
Every window became bulwark and all kinds OF
missiles were showered from roofs, balconies, &c
upon the military as they marched through the
streets
Whilst this fierce warfare was going on orders
were given that the assembly should beat through
the Streets to call the entire force of the National
Guards to arms. They at once responded to the
call. They rushed to their barracks; from this
position they opened deadly fire on the troops,
Who, notwithstanding the resistance they met with
were gaining ground, and gradually approaching
she Plaza San Jayne.
At this moment the great alarm bell sounded
and reused all 10 arms. The combat deepened in
Serocitv and in boodshed the moment the roar Of
chat herrid bell' opened from the Cathedral
The battle was fought with the utmost desperation
until tho soldiers, seeing their best and braves,
officers lying dead or dying in the streets, began TO
comnicncv retiring along the Rambls, towards the
citadel, and in the direction Of the sea wall While
IL the of resreating By this point they unfortu
.,ateiy, through haste or imprudence, formed
dense mass, and thereby presented mark 70 the
enemy, Of which they were not slow TO take advan-
sage. The first battalion of National Guards,
whose barracks are close to the wall, lifted their
pieces rs one man, and threw a voey into the
chick of the iugitives More than 500 bullets car
zied death and destruction amongst them.
This was the last attempt e. serious resistance
on the part OF the military.
Van Halen made his retreat and the insurgents
remained complete masters of The town. A su,
pceme popular juRter was Immediately formed.
Something more than l000 killed ard wounded
formed the loss Of the military An immense
amount of money jswe!sy, &c, was plundered by
she rabbe.
