Wednesday's and Thursday's French Papers reached us
last night. Thu tyrant's unbridled career of despotism still
proceeds unchecked in Spain. The unhappy Spaniardsare
now drinking the cup of tyranny to its very dregs. Another
of those abominable mandates, called a "Royal Decree,"
issued in Madrid on the 29th of February, subjecting all
those who have obtained, since the 7th of March, IR2O,
diplomas or decrees of any kind, in the several families
under the Government of the Cortes, to the tyranny of a
new scrutiny and new impositions. Before they can act
again they are to surrender the fanner diplomas, and re.
ceive new ones, for which they are to pay three hundred
real. Should they not submit to this ordeol, they are
to be regarded as intruders, prosecuted according to an
obsolete Royal Ordinance, and condemned to pay a fine of
000 ducats, besides being exiled from their usual residences.
Should they still refuse to submit to the tyranny imposed
upon them, they are condemned, by this decree, to pay a fine
of 2,000 ducats, and sent as slaves to thegalleys for six years.
The Moniteur attempts to justify this execrable decree;
and says its severity is warranted by the improper conduct
of many physicians, lawyers, and manorial:knee, during the
Constitutional Regime. The fact Is, that among this
body, more enlightened from education than the great
majority of the people of Spain, the tyranny of Ferdinand
found the most numerous opposers, sod liberty es many
friends; and now that the tyrant and his satellites are in
full power again, they are determined to exercise their
worst vengeance against this body. The Decree of Amnesty,
it appears, is " hors de combat' altogether, and lethal
for no more. With such a rate of things in Spain, win
can say that Sir Robert Wilson's speech was exaggerated
on Thursday night, or the description lie gave of the
country overstated. If the French troops were &gait
beyond the Pyrennees, a despotism so infernal could ne
last a week.

man of the Cones, are to deliver up all their pieces to the fscultis
now existing, who are to convince themselves of the capacity and
the morality of the individuals, to whom they stall give new
diplomas, for which they shall pay SOO reale. Those who do sa
confor:n to this order shall be regarded as lett-Alden, and proseauel
according to the Royal Ordinance of the 21st November, 1717,
condemned to pay a fine of :AN) ducats, and sent to the di.soce of

not having their titles confirmed, and should oppose the
orders, they shall be condemned to pot" a tine of 2,UOU duals, awl
put to the pre,ielios (the galleys) fur six years.
The severity of these measures is justified by the imprein on,
duct of many physicians. lawyers, or men of scisace, alur...g
Consfitutional Regime. Besides, in Spain in particular, our
lage physicians or doctors, and the language masters, enjoyitg
pretty considerable influent*, can never give too stroog a pissigs of
fidelity to the Government. It is important that obey shcald set

We hear no more of the Amnesty—it is supposed that instead cf
it there will be slater from Count % illela, President of the Come:
of Castile, to all the Commandants in the Provinces, to precrbe
to them measures respecting those individuals who are still cr.:-
fused in Firm fur political mademcaners.
