FROM GIBRALTAR.--By the brig Abeona, Captain Fairchild, arrived on Tuesday, we have received advices from the above port to the 25th of August.
Spain is represented to be in a state of the greatest anarchy and confusion. The laws appeared to be totally disregarded, and the most outrageous crimes, murders, and massacres were frequently occurring in all parts of that miserable country. It was believed that a crisis was fast approaching, which would either entitle Spain to a place among the most enlightened and elevated nations, or sink her amongst the most depraved and debased.
The United States Squadron was at Messina, but was expected to return to Gibraltar about the first of November.
