MADRID, OCTOBER 20.

It will be recollected that towards the end of June
last, the King's Lieutenant of the city of Valencia
received an order, apparently clothed with the sig-
nature of the Minister of War, by which he was en-
joined to arrest and shoot the Captain General of the
Province, Lieutenant General Elio, without any other
form of process. The same fraud was 'practised on
the Authorities of Andalusia, to pin an end t 9 Gene-
rals O'Donnel and Villa Vicencio. The prudence of
the Chiefs to whom these orders were addressed, ren-
dered the foul plot abortive.
After a long investigation, the object of which was
to discover the authors of this crime, the Government
has now published the result of a process followed up
with rigour against M. J. de Sevilla, one of the Chiefs
of the division of the War Department, whose hand-
writing appeared similar to that of the dispatches
which directed the putting to death the three Com-
manders of Provinces. It results that this Gentleman
is perfectly innocent. His Majesty has recognized
the injustice of the suspicions which were raised
against him, and in restoring him to his employment,
gave a pension of 1000 francs tolls eldest son. It
seems as if the perpetratots of the above crime will
never be discovered, so artful have they been in their
combinations.

On his birth-day his Majesty published an amnesty
in favour of all those who were detained in prison or
absent from the kingdom for any other crimes than
the following, which are excepted :—tbe crime of
Lete-Majetti, divine or human, premeditated assassi-
nation, false money, the murder of a Priest, incen-
diaries, blasphemers, robbery, forgery, resistance to
officers of jastice, duelling, and malversation in the
finances of the State. The benefit of this amnesty is
thus extended to all the individuals who are out of
Spain, fugitated and adjudged for non-2ppear.ince,
provided that they present themselves within a year
before the competent tribunals, and that they are not
guilty of the crimes above mentioned.
We cannot say that this beneficent disposition of
his Majesty annuls the rigorous measures of the SOth
of May last, with respect to expatriated families, nor
those which were taken posteriorly against free-ma-
sons, and the acquirers of national domains; for the
arrests continue, and several cities in the interior solicit
from his Majesty, as a favour, the right of expelling
from their territory various persons who had returned
to their firesides.

The people of this capital are delighted with the

popularity of our young BDvereign, who has. never.
theless, no fears of derogating Irons t'..e etiquette ni
his predecessors.
