The following rxtrac. of a letter written on board of the Macedonian, and reciwd this m nning, gives the first direct inli mation of the bloody conduct of the Spaniards in South merca towards our fellow-citizen? : Even. Pof. "LaiUo, U. S. fligate Macedonian, November 1 I, I82(. As you, na doubt, long before you receive this, will have beared of the outrage which has been committed on our fl ig here, I will briefly state to you what 1 was an eye witness of an 1 what has since transpired On the night of the if'iimt. at half past twelve lord Cochrane sent in fourteen boats to cut out a Spanish fligate (the lLs in relda) of 36 guns she was lying within musk' t shot of the batteries, with 1 8 gun boats, and two gris of 18 guns each, around her. He succeeded in gaining possession of lier in about fif'een minutes. We lay about half a cable's length astern of her. A? soon as he had rut her cables and laid hr hetd olT shme, the batteries, castles, bulk, and in fact every thing that could mount a gun, beiin to pi iv upon h r, upon us, and even upon the inoffmsive merchantmen in the harbor We an ! all the Vmorican and English merchantmen i'lime liaielv slipped our cables, and as the wind was very light, it was son time before we could get out of reach of their puns It appeared to me that they pointed their guns particularly at us. The shot flew about us thicker than if vre had been engaged with a vessel oT the same force, within musket shot. Hut, a is usual with cowards, thev wer too much confused to take deliberate aim, other wise thev would have Mink us in ten minutes. The only injury wc received wa our cross-jack-vard shot aviy a little of the running ri-rvrin Immediately on slipping our cables wr laid the ni;'s bead the contrary wav of the lsmcrelaVs, and kept her o until nut of gunshot at least half a mile apart ; so that it is self-evidont there cou'd be no mistake in their firing at in If any ther proof was wanting the fact that we picked up at least a dozen musket Wslls on board after the atTair. would immediate!? set it tt rest. On the morning of the 7Th. wo sent ss ususl, a boat ashore to market with Mr. Marshall, Midshipman, of Ne York, (s vv oft) Marshall, of the Vavr Yard,) and nine men : when t'c bosVs crew were ordered to toss their osrsbv Mr M. bcinjj close on the wharf, the soldier on iruard htd into her; killc 1 "Mr. M. and four of the men, four more ball? wounded, and one onlv eiraped to b'in the news.

or him ; there could be no mistake ; the ie Amei ican tlug wa flying inner the same boat went on snore eveiy morning. The crew were selected as being tne most trusty and peaceable in the ship. Mr. Marshall wa selected that morning, as particmar confidence could be placed in him, though but a boy of perhaps eighteen. It is impossible torque to dcsciibe the sensations this affair has cans ed on board ; the feelings of all are almost wound up to frenzy for their murdered shipmates, and the indignity offered to our flag but I have not yet done. On the morning ot the 9th, the schooner Kampart, of Baltimore, got under way, by agreement with the authorities on shore to receive her cargo. Immediately on her coming within gunshot of the castles, they opened on her, tuth all the vessels, gunboats, cc. in the harbor The captain and officers (as there was but little wind, and that right on shore) immediately abandoned her, and she sunk betore the numerous gun boats, &c. which valiantly came out to take her, could get her on shore. We now communicate with t e shore but by flag of truce I hope we shall communicate no other way At the time Mr. Marshall was murdered, Cspt. Downes and Mr. Hogeis were in Linn. On ( aptain Downes passing the- ice Hov's palace, several officers and r:v ;z mis were overheard to say "there goes the rascal, we will have his blood r.e::i." The excuse ma-It- hy the government for all these outrages i thiu they were committed by an enraged populace. I have before heard of mobs committing the greatest excesses, resisting the civ il and midtary power, flying in the face of justice; but never until now, did I hear of a mob, which at the most could not consist of 1500 men, taking possession of astles, armed vesrU, batteries, lie. defended by at least SO 0. Capt. Downes and Mr. Hogcrs had to disguise themselves to get on board Capt D left all his baggip;e and two servants in Lima; whether he will ever get them or not is uncertain. P S A fl.tg of tiure has just come oiT which brings the news that Mr Mr. sh v.l is not dead, but wounded and in the hospital 10th November M UKVOhUTMX IN MEXICO.
