Tortare and the Mquisiiion IN Spain
A decree at Madrid, the 10th Dec.
issued by the grand inquisitor, who is
also private coDfessor of Ferdinand, de.
nounces the severest punishments against
all persons who shall have 10 their pos.
session any of the works it particuIarizes,
or any foreign journals containing reaec.
tons upon the government and institutions
of Spain. That these are mol mere i'm.
potent threats has been proved 10 the most
dreadful manner. By virtue Of this de.
cree, and at the express command Of the
king, the torture has been inflicted on
Caiyo de Rosas, one of the heroic de-
tenders of Saragossa. For FIVE hours
and twenty-six minutes this distinguished
Individual was exposed TO the torments Of
the rack: his legs aud arms we're dislO-
Gated, and he continued for a heightened
period in a state of insensibility. The
Queen is said to have been deeply affect
ed by this inhuman treatment, and to have
implored Ferdinand in behalf Of Rosas,
but the blood thirsty monster was inexo-
rabIe. Social intercourse is at an end in
Spain. individuals are arrested, and put
to the torture, on the most groundless sus-
picion; the inquisitor general engrosses
the whole power Of the kingdom. A. M.
Santorio, (on whose information nj. Calvo
de Rosas and several others had been
imprisoned) who was 10 one OF the cells
of the gaol called de Corte, Knowing that
M. Calvo was in another close by, began
to cry out as loud as be could, begging
M. Calvo's forgiveness for this wicked
and false information, which, he added,
he was persuaded to give by the entrea-
ties and promises Of an official parsonage.
This affair has occasioned great deal OF
uneasiness to the party concerned in it.
