be unacceptable to your readers :—He entered the service of Spain, his
native country, in the marine ; on the invasion of Bonaparte he was soon

advantages, it is riot important to know ; he passed over to the national
cause, with an assurance of his patriotism in the keys of Lerida. which
he procured to be surrendered to the French garrison, on the faith of
forged orders to that effect from Marshal Suchet, whose aide.de.
camp be was. On the return of King Ferdinand he was thrown into the
Inquislioaoba history of his sufferings in which he has since published
in Lone& /demi by the active and devoted exertions of the freemasoes
from the begs of the Dominicans, he effected his escape to Englard.
where ha repined his work upon the Inquisition for the press. The
then Spa-Ambassador, hearing of his intention, sent for him, et-
desvoured to dimmed' him from his design, and offered him motley.
