By the letters last received froi Aicant anid Carthagena, tile most bitter a'nimohity prevails against the Constitutional party. At. Carthagena a scene of this kind took place on the Ith of last month, whvenl a small party of sol.Aiers about midnight ruslied into the street, and bcgan ringing bells and making hideous noises of every sort, initerimiingledi with crie, for-the Absolute King-the InquisItion-death to the " Negros" of Carthagena, &c. Durhig the wshole thne they grossly insultcd every inhabitant of rither sex whio came itr their way. The people, who guessed the motive of thiA uproar, had the discretion to ren,.in quiet nevertheless, on the fol- lowing day a great number of persons was arrested. neithler guilty v nor capable of any breach of the peace, and a list was handed about vf matty more who were also to be arrested. The city remained in this state for several days, no one venturing to stir out, or to embark on board ship, without applying fur a letter of leave to the Governor, wbho was believed to be itbe secret promoter of alM the disgraceful scenes teat liad occurred. At Alicant things vwere nearly in the same szate. The rnsesuuiR' taking by the authorities of that place reseubled those wviict \occur it a town where capture by a Ettrprise is apprehended. Outposts were established, and additional artillery sent to various parts of the fortificatiorts. The prisoners in tihe casMtle were all brought out at isridtnigltt ott the ISth, and plunged ittto horrible dun- geotis, in crowds sufficient to produce suifbcation. Numerous arrests took place. On the lith a number of' persons had passports sent thiem, with orders to quit the town il six tiours ; among whomn were seven or eight curates and cattotis, who had resisted th1e GuO er- nor's attemnpts to induice tbetm to swear falsely against several per- sons whose destruction lie wishtd. A man named Piatero, well knowni to be the agent of the (Governor, endeavouring to provoke tihe inhabitants to some act wihich would allow him to punish thenm; and tite Governor tititselfh ad been lteard to declare more thrat once, that titere wotild be tto tranqtui2lity itn Sprain till all tie prisoners, kConsi-i tutiosalists, of course) mvere put to death. On th. 17Lt a respectable merchlant receivetd orders to get his warehouses emiptied irt a tew hours, to take room for the regiiment of Maria Amrlia sent for to M1urcia, part of 'which entered the same afternoon, calling out for Lhe blood of the " Negros of Alicant." One mrelancloly fact is clear from all this, whatevcr other comr mrients it may suggest, that the Constitutiotlilisre at present are quite at the itercy of their enemies. The letItrs cottaining these facts liave been cent with great caution and secrecy by a private hand, as all by the post are examined. Great apprehensiotis were felt of a general tnossacre,both at Alicait and Cartitagena.
