The Cronea the Spanish organ in New York, abounds
in gross and insulting attacks upon the under
whose liberal institutions its RIGHTEOUSNESS is tolerated
In late number of that paper the following infamous in
dignity is offered the memory Of Andrew Jackson;
"were jackson to rise from the grave and to try his
again in the Spanish territory, have not the least
doubt that his enterprise would be crowned with
iron cravat," (tbe garote.)
Ii is hardly be wondered at that Spanards should
indulge in insulting nvecyes when they the outrages
perpetrated by Spanish officials American rights and
American citizens promptly and zealously excused
and defended by American editors. We have none
but feelings of contempt for such journal the Croied
II lacks either the intellect the decency command
spect or nnct injury ii is in all respects just such
organ as such official Coneha would be pleased TO
have Its caumnes and its vituperaons harmless in
such country II can show its yalor with i'm
punty by connecting the infamous garote with the name
of the ilustrous dead II the editor of the CroHea will
cherish his maligny towards the of Jackson he
ought not be fendsh to invade his grave But
the Croniea is the organ Of desposm where they know
how degrade themselves by insulting the dead bodies OF
their garoted victims He ought to remember however
that he is not now in Cuba.

the Russians who retired without being pursued carrying
with them their artillery and do not bear OF their

poaueed no other result than that of so cppng and re-

defending the trenches before Sebastopo and the task was
committed to the French To all appearance and SO far
as we can Judge even from British accounts, the allied
armies are much more in Of siege than Sebastopo
which is only invested on one side leaving the other open
to supplies of all kinds They attempt nothing act only
on the defensive are shut up their entertainments while
scarcely day or night passes in which portion OF
their quarters is not beat up by the Russians whose
pulse sometimes after gaining their object is dgnihed
with the of victory The longtakedof assault the

we can see at this distance through the fog of conadic
