OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF THE LA EL EVENTS IN

sp,tlN.

Of enlightened men, and ideas, anxious
to see their country governed by a Constitution
calculated to secure the rights of the tuition, there
are a treat number in Spain. That kingdom also
boasts many men, whose wishes were attached to
the suceess of many a scene in the Revolution of
France.

One-third part of the territorial propriety is in
the• possession of the secular Clergy. The Monks,
for dre most part, illiterate and bigotted in the ex-
treme, exerctsa a considerable influence over the
minds of the lower orders, who are more ignorant
than the people of any ether country, and have,
consequently, for the last century, only made pro-
gress in superstition and indolence.
The events at the Escurial and Aranjuez, which
have made a deep impression on the respect due to
the Throat, tire convocation of a Junta at Bayonne,
for the purpose of forming the grounds of a Consti-
tution, the unforeseen sad extraordinary events of
the id of May at Madrid, all these things have act
the passions adrift, and hare wonnrf up both hope
and fear to the highest pitch.

by the cogency of circumstances. Thus sec
their arts were not unsuccessful in establishi
notion of giving op the alliance with France
an union moth niglasid, and this secret wis
consirlerni:le iiidnence on the events of Araujc
those that followtd.
The majority of the good and enlightened
viduals of the nation, composing the Nolid•
DeTnitaries of the Church, was animated

him and of the Monks, instigated by i
it.cents, stipendiuted by England in Spain,
Alwins..tves of the blindness and stupidit:
lower orders of the people, misled then
rumours, put arms into--the hands of th

broke out, at the very time that all the
clients respecting Spa in had been perfected,
that the Junta at Bayonne was meeting,
operations commenting.
At Valladolid, Saragossa, Valencia, Set
miracles were solemnly- proclaimed : these
tricks, which with every other nation on tlia
neat would only have met condiga der
have made upon the minds of the Spaniards
fullest impression. On :lie coaas, usiumerow
known by its antipathy to France, and a hit
excited to make common cause aith England, ..
order to recover liberty of trade, spurred the people
on, and r...44.ted to give credence to the superstitious
annunciations. Mortal disorders arose troin such
disposition, w nth communicated at the same tinte
to the proirinc: 4of Navarre, Allegan, Estrernadurn,,
Castile. laton, Astoria, and Gallium.
They began on the 17th of May iu the Southern
psoviners. The Counsellor i,f State Don Miguel
de Saavedra was Captain General of tfie kingdom
of Valencia, lad attempted to oppose the vievvf of
the insurgents, his life was thrindeoe,l, and he Hod
toltequetia ; bat the insurgents, informed of his
abode, crowded thither, seized his person, conducted
. Min to Valencia, and there murdered him near the
hotel of Count Cervallon, who seemed to have their
confidence, bat whose elforts, nevertheless, to resiabe
the unhappy man,provedfrintless. The head of Lon
Miguel de Saavedra was implied, carried through
all the streets, and sulatalpiently placed at the top
a a pyramid, whilst the Marquis of Arvueva, on
whom a similar bate was impending, narrowly
escaped it

gents deartudial that all tie goods belonging to the
Vrenels residue; itt the kiarlitua should be declared
forfeited, and their persons Secured in the citadel.
A few days :titer, 9sey dragged the crew of a French
ship, wiiieh hid been pursued by an English frigate,
and sought refuge en the Spanish coast, into prison.
On the 14th of Jun', they, in paroxysm of
Eery, massacred there captives; however, on the 17th
June, the Members of the Junta, who had been con-
strained, on foraiture,..of life, to take part hi the
Committee, arraigned by a solemn act the author of
these atrocities, giving him op to constitutional au-
thority, and naming us such, Balthazar Calbo, a
Nliuister of the Altar, and Member of the Chapter
of St. Isidore, at Madrid.

• At Cuenca, the Corregidor and the Inteodant
were thrown into chains, and carried off by the rio-
tous boors, who, before they departed, pillaged the
houses of these two respectable Magistrates, end
abused their families. At Carthagena the people
murdered the Governor, who had for a long time
enjoyed the public esteem. At Grenada, on the
Joth of May, arrived Gen. Truxillo, Governer of
Nlalima; he was murdered by the people; his body
dragged throngh the streets, cut in pieces, and after-
wards burnt. At Algeciras, on the 2d of June, the
French Consul was old into prison, and the rioters
dernaulded ins head; hut the resolution of the well-
disposed prevented the commission of this new ex-
cess. At St. Lnear de Beramede, they massacred
the Governor of that place, a maw etoully distin-
guished by his rank and merits. At Jaeti, the pea-
sants forced the citizens to quit their houses and
property, murdered the Corregidor, and plundered
the town.

Setille haying raised the standard of revolt, form-
ed a factious Junta, and part of the sohliery, from
the camp of St. Hoch and from Cadiz, invited by
the high encouragements liedd out to than by the
insurgents, kiiiied the party, and the first evidence
that they gave of their force was the murder of
Count Aquila, one of the most respectable charac-
ters of Seville. whilst a Captaiu of Smugglers was
nominated Chief of the Imurgents, consisting of
monks, deserters, and sinisAlers, drew out in arms
to beset the passage through Cordova.
At Cadiz, the people rose on the c_trith of May,
against the Liratenant,Ceneral, Solana, Marquis
del Socorro, the Cuptain-General of the Province
and Governor of the City, a man hitherto universally
revered. The insurgents then drew arms from the
barracks, and a caution from the lailwarks, fell up-
on the hotel of the Goverunr. seized his person, and
murdered him in the most atrocious manner. At
Carolina, they decapitated the Governor. who bad
presumed to oppose the disorders. No leas hor-
rible were the eacesses committed at Navarre, Ar-
nigon, and Catalonia. At Saragrree, the peasants
shot the Colonel of the King's Regiment of Dra-
goons, and thirty-three officers of the same party;
against whom they revisited, were massacred in the
most inhuman manner.

The same hatred to all authority. and to all men
vested with office, erodoced similar scenes in Estre-
nisdura and the (-twit's. At Badajor, the insur-
rection broke out on May3o, and was in an instant
matured. The hotel of the Governor, Count de is
Torre del Fremo was assaulted. These insurgents
demanded arras and to be enrolled ; when the Go-
