SENTENCE ON TSUI LiBEILALES.
' This city is fined with terror set the blow the King
has just given, a blow that cannot be paralleled in
the annals of despotism. In consequence of the
orders issued by the King to terminate, within a fined
period, the-trials of the Lihra' les, and to refer to him
the sentences pronounced by the Special Court, the
latter, notwithstanding it was composed of persons
possessed of the King's entire confidence, which is
proved by their composing the ha tribunal that has
hitherto taken cognizance of these causes, availing
themselves of the opportunity of consulting the King,
respecting the sentence that was to be imp-sed on
Don Manuel Garcia Herrero:, late Minister of Grace
and Justice, and Deputy in the late GenerAl and Ex
traordinary Corte, manifested to his Majesty in like
wanner, as had been done two several times by the
preceding Judges, that nothing resulted against the
persons accused in raid cases, that in the tri.'ls there
appeared nothing but unqualified charges and secret
accusations without foundation; and therefore, that
it would accord with the benignity of his Majesty to
draw a veil over the past, and set the accused at
liberty.
Little satisfied with this consultative report, the
Kidg issued the following order :
ea PALACI. Nov. 25, 181 6.

- _
" Considering the state In which the trials nand, and the Spe-
cial Court being now reduced under the same l'residtnicy of the
Captain-General, to the three Aicaldes, Solt:ado, Valuta, and
Valdenebro; and in cave any difference of opinion in- iiicktiays
should result In the above, the si:d powers are to devolve on
Soler and Garcia de la Toni, it it my will, that before the causes
which have been tried are resolved upon, those shall be 'hewn
to me with the greaten brevity, which are not comprehended
In the laws of Tit. 1, I.ib. i, of the New Kecopilacion, and in
Tit. 7, and 111; and also the persons whom tife culprits alltalge
to have held the same political opinions, mil the s'amurnans and
grounds en which they found theinulves in both ease,."
[ The laws In question relate to the disloyal, mums, meet:hip,
and tumults.]
On receiving this inquiry. the Tribunal answered,
that they had arrested no one comp.:hei-led in the
said laws, nor any one guilty of high trcison. The
King, in a rage with this answer, awl finding that
no Judge; however wicked, would accord with his
views in condemning innocent persons as ctiniinals,
took the charge upon himself, and caused - the Re-
corders of the said causes, Kith the greatl:4 secrecy,
and under pain of death, to bring to torn all the trials,
which they consequently did. He (the Mop) order
td all tie coaches to be embargoed, and by himself,
and alone, he pronounced the followitz sentences ;
commanding that in the same night the i et-sons sen-
tenced should proceed onto their destinations, in the
coaches embargoed for that purpose, all winch WAS
done.

WASHINGTON, NOVEMLTR
A report has been in circulation lor a day or two,
on the Authority of an arrival at S ivannali, of the
sinking of the sloop of war Epervier, by a British
ship of the line. So little credit have we attached
to it, that we did not think it necessary even to no-
tice this report. It is certainly untrue as stated, and
probably a hoax from beginning to end. The me-
lancholy proli.thility and Almost cert kty is, that the
Epetvier was lost at sea in the violent September gales.
