In one of the Councis held the day before yesterday, the
Canon Roxas, Counsellor of-State, expressed swish that the
Bull of the Pope might be'carried into execution, by which his
Holiness granted to Charles IV. the liberty to sell a seventh
part of the lands of the clergy—a wish which has-been fre-
quently :expressed in the Council of Ministers,. but always
without success, anti which will be equally unavailing this time.

As soon as the last column of the French troops went out of
Vittoria -the priests sang " Hallelujah !" the populace rap
about the streets and pulled down the building which had fr
ceived the French as a corps de garde.- They cruelly treated e'
French linzonadier, in whose house his countrymen used t°
meet ; they broke and destroyed his furniture, staved his cast
—in a word, the furious populace committed all sorts
excesses.
The chiefs of the religious corporation gave afete charnel
as a testimony of rejoicing, at the ,departure of the Frac,'
troops.
The enthusiasm Of these madmen is said to go to such length%,,
as even to preach a crusade to blockade St. Sebastian and PO'
peluna, and they do not despair of taking those two places bf
assault.. Such boastings excite is smile of pity.
When the executioner of Valladolid had a Constitutionalist,
to execute, he took the office on himself, to have the pleasure (?15'
torturing him. Last week he was found in his bed, with I'l
head severed from his body.

Since the moment that our:Cabinet has been informed how-
England was disposed towards our ancient Colonies, a ti=
was generally spread that the Powers of the eOO 'O,
vent had urged our ' Monarch to adopt a more modet'a_to
system of Government, and to make some. concessAwt,
which are required by the spirit of the age, and the wan,,,,
of the enlightened part of the nation. There was seance
to hope that an intercession from so high a quarter would a_„
be without effect, and that it would not have less influence f;
our Cabinet on account of' the situation in which England Pl,acese
Spain by recognizing the new states of South America. rf "sif
reports gained so much credit that our fanatics were seriolhce
-alarmed, and this party, at the head of which We must
the superior clergy, has lost none of.itti influence at Court ; A 0
King has thought it proper to declare his real sentiments on
subject. With this view the Gazette published a Royal ,i.;`ti
tree, in which, after commending the course he has adajge
up to this day,_he declares his intention of abiding by it•
