MADRID QAZETTES.

MADRID, OCTOBER 7.—At half past seven in
the morning of the 4th instant, the Ding visited,
'without previous notice, the royal prison of this
capital, aecomp'anied by the Duke of Aslagon, the
Captain of his Guards. There his Majesty, exer-
cising his innate goodness, condescended to exa-
mine the different departments of the prison, lis-
tening to and consoling the prisoners with that
kindness and humanity which characterise his Ms
jesty, and displaying his well known eletn.tney to-
wards several individuals. lie enquired into the
.cases of five men and eight women, who were
confined for slight offences, and ordered thew to
be discharged, after mildly. admonishing theM to
.abstain from future excesses. His Majesty, final-
ly, visited the solitary place of detention called
the Grillera, where his royal- mind was so affected
by the horrible and. filthy-aspect of the place, that
he ordered its removal and destruction, so that
no memorial of pit might remain. His Majesty
observed, that prisoners should be placed in a
state of security corresponding todheir offences,
but at the. same time should be treated with that
humanity which all his beloved subjects deserved.
whatever might be their lot.

The following Royal Ordinance 51ias been issued
by his Majesty
• DonTerdinand VII. by the Grace of Cod, King of Castile,
Leon, Arragon, &c. to those of my Council, to the Presiden:s
and Regents of My Audiences, the CUrregidors, Intendant,
Governors, and Mayors, ()fall the cities and towns of my king-
doms—know' ye; that hy' at Decree 'of the GeneraliLxtraor-
' dinary Cortes, of the 6th August, 18.114 .all jurisdictionia
seignories of whatever class or condition were incorporated
with the nation; thatiall payments both real and personal, •
which ()Wed their origin to a juriAietional title, were abolish-
edi with the exceptiott of such as proceeded front free con-
tract in the exprcise of the rig.btuf:propmty, the territorial
and Manorial 'seigniories remaining in the class of other rights
of property; abolishing also the privileges called -exclusive, •
privative, or prohibitive, such as those of the chase,
ovens and mills. In this State of things rep'resentions have
been made to me _by various Grande's of Spain, and Titulars
'of Castile, Jurisdictidnal Lords of Viwnships in Arragon, Va-
lencia, and other Provinces, complaining of the robberies
which they have suffered, and do suffer, under pretence of-
the said Decree, in the enjoyment 'oil the rights und pay-
ments which it reserved to 'them, demanding restitution,
and some of them praying a decimation of the nullity of tife
Decree. The said memorials have been referred to toy Council
of State, and to the taw Officers• of the Crown ; and oh-
servil* the delicacy and circumspection with which the latter
have Astained from pronouncing as to the nullity of the
Decree,. until they had collected all the materials for forming
a judgment on that interesting point, my Council has also
abstained from entering into an examination of it until the
said Law Officers deliver their opinion. With regard to the elt.
claim made by the said jurisdictional Lords of restoration fu
the rights of which,they have been arbitrarily despoiled by
the towns intheir respective seigniories, though preserved to
them by tbe Decree of the Cortes, my Council accedes to Use
recommendation of my Law Officers, that the, j nstice of the
said claims be admitted, and the proper remedies to prevelt
such abuses be provided without delay: therefore it is my
Royal resolution, in conformity with the advice of my 'Coon-
ell, to order, that the said Jurisdictional Lords be imme-
diately replaced in the enjoyment of all the rent,
molts, payments, and rights belonging to their territorial
and 'manorial seigniory, and in that of all the other rights
which they enjoyed prior to the. 6th of August, 1811, and
which do not derive their origin from
,jurisdiction and exclu-
sive privileges; without prejudice to what I may hereafter
resolve, with the advice of my Council, as to the nullity,
continuance, or revocation of the said Decree of the Cortes,
abolishing seigniorieS.
