The fki(Vkiwing is a stateAsent of the treatment and

Conseil-Gaeta), to be transmitted to his Majesty's Sec-
retary of Statifee Foreign Affairs: •
William.Voong, a British subject, Cornet on the
pay'of the Royal %igen beg leave to state that,.
•on the 24th of May last; I obtained a regular passport
lErgo the Intendant. general..of Police,.te proceed nutty
I.ootPe in Leira, where I here resided the list .14 years,
and have been Married to a native of that city 17 years.'
Inirived at Leira on the morning of thp26tb,nad
in the -afternoon my hems* was.-surrounded by 'a patty,
1 Militia,. consisting of mote tlihn 100 men i.thief
dragged tnntii:tbe gaol, withoticaUovring me t Jipwsk,
to Ififea.‘r any other person.. Al they were 'taking
me there, thivoldiers struck me with the butt-ends Of
their muskets; and 11r.4s pelted and hot ted at by thi
mob, who .continued to cry out, " Kill him, he is
Freemason."—Wheo I got to the gaol, I was put into a
room, and shut up immediately. It smelt shockingly.
I neither
.saw nor heard any one till the next morning,
when the gaoler came and told Me I might have break-
fast, which he brought me soon after. I was kept in this
state tines days. 1 was then allowed the light, and the
place, was put into.full requisition for the use of the *Pti..
Wets. In tbitsituation I met Sir John M. Doyle, K.C.B.
poc Jule, brother to the Count Linhares. .4nd many
others, but with strict orders from the gaoler not to speak
to any of them, nor they to me; some came etcorted
by two soldiers, others by the gaoler. I was five days
in this *Matisse, and continually insulted from the streets
by the mob, with cries of " Cut or their ears," 61 Kill
aU the Freemasons." On the ninth day I was allowed,
for the first time, to speak to my- wife, in the presence
of top gaoler, and he told me I might have books to read
if I chose, and gave me at the same time a letter, opened,
!which be said the Corregidor (Magisirate), had read. I
ens verrzertaii that in this way have not only lost
several cf consequence to myself, but to others. On
the tenth day I was removed into another part of the
gaol with three others, which room had a window to
the street, which we were obliged to keep shut nearly
all day, to avoid the insults ( f the people and the sol-
diers.. I saw no one but my servant, who brought me
my food, but not to come nalarPnongh to me to whisper.
On the 18th day I was' taken before a man who said be
was commissioned by the Corregidor to question-me.
There were ;meant two clerks, both notary publics. He
began with thnfloklowiog questions:
