AWFUL CATASTROPHE ! Never has it fallen to our lot to record a more truly awful and distressing spectacle than our fellow-citizens were called to wit

ness, n Tuesday morning last, in the per'son of Ilenry Carroll, esq. who was suddea1 hurried into eternity by the hand of a fellow mortal ! An unfortunate difference had for some

Some have had their arms and legs dislocated with irons of a new invention ; others have been pressed down with heavy weights, on their breast and belly ; others have had their nails plucked out one by one, in order to prolong their sufferings. Even a lady, lately delivered of twins, has been separated from her family, and cast into one of the most dismal dungeons of the Holy Office, merely because information against her was lodged by a wicked character, who declared she knew a rcat deal respecting the imaginary revolution. Eiio himself went to the Inquisition to interrogate her, and she was caponed to a species of disgraceful torture, of which even ia this country, wc hare no exaninlc.

LATEST FROM EUROPE. MEW-YORK, MARCH 13. The fast sailing ship Stephania, Capt. Burke, arriucd at this port on Saturday evening, in 2G days from Havre, having left the river on the loth ultimo. The letters, however, are only to tha 9th, and our Paris papers to the 8th of the month. The passengers inform that it was rumored when thev sailed, that the insurgent troops

of Spain had marched t. ?.Ia;lnu, that tne

had turued against him,

or had fled.

There is nothing in the papers corroborative to this report, though it will be observed that passengers are 8 days later fiom Havre than the date of our papers. It appears that . Cadiz wa s not in possession of th insurgents so late as the 2Lst of January, b jt it is stated as the rumor, that the gates cf the city were opened to them on tlm following day. Another rumour was that Cadiz still held out on the C4th Jan. Onr toners contain London dates to the
