Tuesday, from Leamington Spa, amidst a numerous as-
semblage of persons. He descended in a field belong-
ing to MONTGOMERY, Esq. in the palish of Milton,
thirty-fuur miles from Leamington.
SPANISH AMNESTY.—It has been pointed out by
some of the Fiench Papers as a singular fact, that
though the issuing of the Decree of Amnesty on the
Ist of May has been announced in the French Minis-
terialJottrnals---though the Royal Address with which
it concludes, and some of the exceptions to its provi-
sions, have been given, the Decree itself, important as
it was represented to be, has not yet been given. The
Cobrier Frantais, in adverting to this circumstance,
quotes a letter from Tolosa, of the 6th of May, in which
nothing is said of this Decree of Amnesty either as
issued or expected; but a confident expectation is stated
to exist, that the next post from Madrid would bring a
Decree for the re-establishment of the Inquisition, the
speedy appearance of which the last letters had given
them reason to expedt. From the non-publication of
the Decree of Amnesty, it is certainly to be inferred,
that the document has li!tie of the conciliatory character
beyond tl.e name, or that it has been accompanied by
some inea-ure calculated to neutralize its effect.
