SPAIN.

PORT ST. _MARY. AUGUST Is.
Great disgust has been produced by certain decrees
of the Madrid Regency, which deprive the holders of
national estates, particularly of such as belonged to
the church, of their property, and order various other
measures hostile to the liberal party. Among them
are the following :—The punish:pent of secularized
priests, who are ordered to proceed to the' places of
their birth, and who are deprived of their licenses to
preach, confess, even to say Mass, until they shall be '
examined. The taking from all persons who have
belonged to the national, and local militia, who have
purchased national property, or who have been mem-
bers of any patriotic society, the right of being mem-
bers of Ayuntamientos, or of holding any civil place,
in consequence of which no persons duly qualified
for such offices can nnw be found in Madrid. These
decrees have not only given offence to the Liberales,
but even to the friends of Monarchy ; and had another
been issued, which, it is said, the Duke of Angouleme
prevented, and which required the local militia to
retire six leagues from their towns, tranquillity would
have been greatly endangered. It appears that the
Puke, on being informed of all this, has issued a de-
cree, direCting that no person shall be arbitrarily
molested or arrested far their former opinions, and
ordering all who have been se arrested to be set at
liberty. If he continues thus to enforce a just admi-
nistration, to attend to whatever may be calculated to
restore tranquillity, all Spaniafds who are desirous of
peace, and have no wish for office, will be well pleased
with his conduct.
A circumstance which has excited great discontent
is the taking from the militia the horses and uniforms,
which were their own by purchase.
MADRID, AUGUST 26.
Letters have arrived from Grehada, dated the 14th,
which give the following details :—Our situation is
extremely curious, the town being occupied by a
small French garrison, whicb has done no more than
'displace the Magistrates, and which permits us to
speak on politics, to sing patriotic songs, and pub-
licly pronounce our opinion in favour of the cause of
liberty and our country. General Senen de Contreras,
appointed Commandant of the-District, desirous to
adopt rigorous measures against the liberty we at
present enjoy, was removed', and D. Juan Caro, who
is in the environs of Malaga, at the rear of a band
of the Faith, appointed in his place. Till he arrives,
we are under the government of an Irish adventurer,
by the name of 0 Leara. Several officers of the army
of Ballasteros have arrived here by-permission, and
"they wear the national cockade (green and red) in the
'presence of the Royal Magistrate%and-of the Fiench
•troopt. These officers have publicly declared that
the General his only agreed to an armistice, to which
be was forced by a total want-of' ammunition and
provisions ; but' That the troops, 'Composed almost
Wholly of-natio:Mal militia, are animated by the best
'spirit, and will soon make themselves be spokenof.
Some soldiers of the Faith, rbp are here, tried to
hinder these officers ftom rtiltrjeg their iwords,. but
they were reprimanded by therrench. NotiVithstand-

The following sletchof be history Of the Trappist
is given. in a book enti ;led Oelesie Esposito's," pub-
lished lately in Paris :
" Don Antonio Maranon, called the Trappist, fore
axerly an Officer in the Spanish service, and now com-
inandiog a division of the Army of the faith, was
born at Maranon, in Navarre.
".He served during the war of independence, and
acquired great reputation by a courage carried to the
length of temerity. He had reached the rank of Cap-
tain in the regiment of the ]princess, when, being
quartered in the garrison of Lerida, his passion for
:gaming awakened with new fury, and deprived him
not only of all consideration in society, but cut him
off from all prospects profession. He gambled,
-lost his own money, the money oft is friends, the pity
of his company, the epaulettes of his rank, and even
, wits obliged to offer for sale his officer's co :mission.
It was then that Maranon, ruined, despised, and ex-
posed to punishment, was reduced to the
tkking some violent step which mig!--
draw him from the reproaches of 11)
;and the gaze of the public. He r
step. He fled from Lerida by nig:
bury himself in 4 Convent of the Ordi
Thus Captain Maranon, the gambler
ibr, became Friar Antonio, the recluse,
" In that convent he begged for
and occupied that no very agreeable
breaking out of the instrrrection last summer. As his
military taste and his incorrigible love of adventure
and hazards could not be reconciled to a kind of
abode where there was neither a field of battle nor a
gambling table, he eagerly seized an opportunity of
issuing from his convent, and religion furnished the
pretext. Alter having exchaaged .he epaulette for
the begging wallet, and the wallet a. ain for the epau-
lette, he put himself at the head of some pal tisans,
harangued them on the sacred nature of the cause
which he invited them to .support, and entered with
them into the Se() d'Urgel to offer his services to the
!e,gency. On presenting his guerilla troop to that
-Im4y, he took an oath to serve:it, and received from
the title of General. He immediately afterwards
undertook an expedition into Arragon, from which
he was driven by the Constitutionalists. Being beaten
on several occasions, and unable to remain on the
ISpinish frontier, he took refuge in France last ars-
tumn ; proceeded to the convent of La Trappe, at
Toulouse, where he enjoyed the kind of notoriety for
which he had been contending ; and was sent by the
French Ministry into Spain, to command in Biscay,
when the Duke of Angouleme was about to pass the
Bidassoa."
His proclamations and his adventures since, are
faithfully recorded in the annals of the " Faith." He
has contrived to give a kind of originality to liis
guerilla character, and has- carried the grotesque of
his religio-militarfprofession—of his canticle-couched
denunciations of slaughter—into his dress and mili-
tary habiliments. He bears a great carabine over his
monk's gown, and an immense.crucifiz adorns his
breast, and the Trappist's scourge, dangling from his
loins, seems either fitted for penitence.or vengeance.
