THE EVENING STAR.  LONDON.  MONDAY, JULY 22, 1816. PRICE OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT TWELVE O'CLOCK, Reduced 64f#—Cons.63'),1—for August Gi 4 per Cent. 79*-5 per Ceat. 9.lh—Bond, Si. 6s. pr. Exchequer DM, Ss. 6s. pre.  We have received letters from Barbados: of the I Sth ult. containing some interesting details respecting the war in South America. The late hour at which they reached us prevents our entering into particulars :--In the mean time we have to state that on both sides the war has assumed the most horrid character—Exterssiamion seems to be the ruling aim of both Royalists and Independents i and if the strugglel be long continued not a White man will be left in the Southern Continent to contend for the dominion. With great grief we state that in the beginning of last month several row-boats, manned by Royalists, lauded on the little island of Pato, near the northern Boca:, in the entrance into the Gulph of Paria, and which belongs to England, and robbed, plundered, and murdered a peat part of the inhabitants cm the charge of being Patriots. Among other refinements of the high minded, dignified, and generous Spaniards, in their treatment of these unfortunate people, they put seven "of them to death by crucifixion—Yes, crucified *rum British allied:, and by other means put to death all that fell into their hands !  We shall give other particulars to-morrow. In the mean time we subjoin a letter from onr countryman, WELLwooD HYSLOP* Esq. one of the British subjects who unfortunately fell into the hands of the Royalists on the capture of Carthagena. This gentleman is now at Kingston, Jamaica ;  " Yon base beard, no doubt, of my arrest and imprisonment at Cartbagena by Monica.° ; but you can have no idea of the treatment I received. I was unfortunate in being too late in getting on board at the evacuation, awl oa the 7th of Dccembor i was thrown  [tom thelnquisition. aster* k remained. tin months I without communication at ail, and two moo in a  miserable state of suspense. Poor Stuart was shot, with Anguiana, Tolled°, M. Amador, Portocairero, Ribbon, Castillo, Ayos, and Dr. Grinados, on the 24th of February : and, but for the intercession of the Admiral, I was to have been the tenth victim on that day. So that, instead of being tried by a mock Court Martial, I was tried by a civil process and miraculously acquitted. " I left Carthagena on the 27th of April, at which date Mottn.Lo had got no further than Ocana, and though there was a general silence in town, it was whispered that his progress was not so rapid as he expected. St. Fe of course had not fallen. The Ge• neral Congress was at Tunja. and since the execution of AMADOR and RIBBON, who had surrendered under a promised pardon, the interior spirit had resolved to defend itselt to the last. MORALES, with two battalions of Caraccas troops, had marched tor Venezuela, where matters were changing much against FE.ROINAND ; su that MODULO has an more than about 3,000 men with him.  Carthagena is garrisoned by the tegiment of Leon, about 650 effective and non effective, (and I may add, disaffected men, from the want of clothing and pay,) and a battalion of Lianoes, composed of about 550. I was a month in town before I sailed, and I assure you those who remained, in hopes of a better Government under Ferdinand, find themselves miserably mistaken. I believe I may say with truth, the spirit of the people is now more elevated than ever it was at any previous period."  We have this day received New York and other American Papers to the 22d June. They contain some interesting intelligence. It appears that the Americans have a strong squadron in the Mediterra. neap, which will of course co operate in the destruction of the piratical establishmeuts on these shores. The AmericAns have hitherto acted with great spirit in that quarter.
