Cannibals at Barcelona!—The following paragraph is from a Spanish Correspondent of the London Morning Chronicle. After such a statement, human nature must stand appalled!

"It appears that the blood-thirsty wretches who dragged one hundred Carlists from the citadel of Barcelona, and savagely put them to death, were not satisfied with the perpetration of this dastardly deed of cruelty, but consummated their atrocity by feeding upon the flesh of their slaughtered victims.—The highest classes, even ladies, partook as a patriotic act, the eating of O'Donnell's body! By this, you see, the lowest or uneducated is not the most contemptible class here. Myself saw several persons eating O'Donnell's flesh, after having cut off his head and heart. I hope the free press of England will not omit to stigmatize the cannibals of both classes—the governing mob, as well as the educated one. I blush with the remark, that accounts like the one here detailed, are of too frequent occurrence, if not actually distorted, at least drawn up in conformity to the personal feeling of the writer; but my object has been to give the facts, and so correctly as to defy contradiction on the part of any truth-telling persons."
