STOCKBRIDGE, (Mass.) July 1.
We take the opportunity of announcing thro' the medium of our paper, to the friends of the unfortunate Mr. HENRY INGERSOLL, the most pleasing intelligence of his probable release from a long and painful confinement in the vaults of a prison in South America, where this poor deluded, innocent young man has been suffering with great fortitude the most unexampled hardships. Intelligence has just been received in this town from Mr. Erskine, minister of his Britannic majesty's at Washington, that an application made by him through Mr. Hammond, his Britannic majesty's secretary of state to admiral Apodaca, Spanish ambassador at the court of London, has procured from the supreme government of Spain (the junta of Seville) an order to the government of Santa Fee, in which province Carthagena, the place of his confinement, is situated for his immediate release.
