Every letter that comes from Spain bears testimony tk -'_.. C.'e.L v.. tt[-id h- n their " delivcrers." The servile Royalists, IIow dispersec in gangs over the ceuntry, and drawnx from the dregs oi mankind, commit atrocious cruelties with a perfect coni- tempt of law, and defiance of public or private retribution By accounts from Valencia of the 20tl ult. we learn that il waswith theutinostdiffliculty they were prevented from form- ing a regular plan there for the murder of all those of their countrymen whom the amnesty professed to set free. Two of these liberated Constitutionalists were rnet on the 17tl on the walk at Valencia, by eight ultra-Royalist support- ers of legitimacy and religion. Thle released prisoners en- deavoured to avoid their persecutors ; but after being grossly insulted, they were attacked with drawin swords- one butchered on the spot, the other desperately wounded, and informed by the Captain-General, to whom he fled for safety, that he (the man in authority) was sorry the figitive had not been kille(d at the same time with his companion. An English gentleman (a copy of whose letter is now before us) and two of his friend(s, knowni to be C(onstitutionalists, while peaceably conversing, were cut at by a Rovalist drummer in the street. One gentleman re- ceived a stroke of the sabre-luckily, from the flat of it. Outrages the most unprovoked and varied are wreaked upon men of the first fortune and character in Spain. People of that class, therefore, leave the country by whole ship-loadls. So that, if the present, system should remain unaltered, FERDINAND anti the priests will lhave nio subjects left but the rabble, wvhom they nmust feed or be devoured by them. Such a state of things, however, cannot last, it may be said: not for ever, undoubtedly,-long enough, neverthe- less, to extinguish all the available and convertible materials in the Peninsula: so that if it can not subdue the despera- tion which rushes headlong into change, it will at least ren4er hopeless all praspect of remedy from revolution. This, beit remembgred, is the immediate consequence of a militarv expedition, solemnly undertaken, for the sake of law, and order, antd internal hlarmony in Spain.
