Extract Of a letter. received IN Newou7yport,
dcted " Gibraltar, april 10.
Since have been in Spain, | have
been in the prison of the Inquisiiion at
Barcelona A mere recital OF thou
sandth part of the horrors of which,
would make any persons blood curdie III
their veins. When the Revolution took
place al Barcelona, the mob rushed upon
The holy office, broke open all The prisons
and gave liberty TO the captives. The
inqulsli0rs fed, or they would have been
sacrifi ed by the populace. The build
ing Is partly torn down, and will soon
be entirely demolished. 1t was by special
permission OF the uewGovernor that was
permitted access 10 the building, and 10
visit The prison before its demolition
lhe Catholics begin 90 see by what vile
and base arts they have been imposed
upon. The mob entered the holy office
after having released the prisoners, 'ound
all the records aud proceedings of the
same tor 900 years past, and or the inn
pulse OF the moment threw every thing
lhio the street. ! presume there were
al least three large cart loads of papers
containing the trials, and records Of
Judgments and execuiiOns--lhey were
gathered up by the multitude and carri-
Ell III every direction, so that almost
every person in the city of Barcelona
has more or less of them, and such en-
ormiiies have been developed as never
entered into the mind 10 conceive. My
time. does not admit ofa more minute
detail,
/ feel more deeply impressed with the
idea that Americans do not sufficiently
appreciate the blessings of a free repubi-
chb form of Government. Nor is il so
wonderful that this nation should now
simultaneously resolve to throw off their
Shackles, az that they should for so long
a period have been content to wear
them"
