An article in the Gazette de France, dated
Madrid, May Z, says" The unfortunate Vinu-
esa received his death with resignation and
courage which religion and pure conscience
could alone have inspired. When the assassins
had burst the gates of his prison, they found
him kneeling in the middle of his dungeon,
holding crucifix in his hand. He then ad-
dressed the furious rabble, who Were prepar-
ed TO fall upon him. 4" / pardon you my death,
and implore but one favor, that you should
not make me suffer-" Hardly had he uttered
these words when a stab of a sword pierced
his heart, and a blow of mace fractured his
skull. The assassns Immediately retircd.-
+h,, e.,
another band of cut throats went to the city
prison, demanding that Abuelo should be de-
ilvered up to them, but the good countenance
which the troops showed, awcd the mutnous
rabble, which then went 10 the house of the
Judge, who, very fortunately for himself, had
disappeared in the morning. They learned in
the evening that dreadful offence was me-
dltated against the roya! family. They rein
forced the garrison of the palace; they placed
four pieces of cannon before the gates ;piquets
of cavalry and infantry in all the suspected
places, and mall the squares. During this time
the royal family was in 4 situation difficult to
be described. In the evening the king went
down into the court of the castle, where the
battalion of the guards bivouacbcd His Ma.
lesty asked the soldiers if he could rely on
them, and they protested their devotion 10 his

the band who committed the crime dispersed,
but with the intention OF meeting again the
following night for thepmpose OF Matching new
murders. The places OF rendezvous were the
! Puefrd del So, and la Font no. Several de-
magogues delivered speeches-which with two
exceptions, brcathed the most sanguinary spir-
H. Two individuals had the courage to raise
their voices in favor of Justice and humanity
but without effect; and the suggestion of a
Venetian priest, who insisted on the necessity
of prescribing some dozens of persons, received
the sanction of the meeting. How this apos-
tie priest reminds us of the early part of the
French revolution A list was immediately
drawn up and it contained the names of tive
captains general, four or five lieutenants gene

court of justice, the minister of finance, and
many other persons, together with the editor.

then carried to the municipality and presented
TO this body: and what was the issue Werc
the wretches arrested, or even reprmanded
No {; they were informed that their list con.
tanned too many erasures and interlineations
to allow these worthy guardians of the public
liberty and of the public peace, to distinguish

The band which presented themselves before
the municipality consisted ofabout 30 or so per.
sons and it is not possible to present stron
ger and more revolving proof of the state o
anarchy in which that capital is plunged. thar
that so small number should dare to appear
before police on such commission. Wher
they were challenged by the guard, ;hey
answered, "The sovereign people !" and they
were instantly admitted Next day a pro
clamatiOn was published by the municipality
recommending TO the citizens obedience To the
laws, but without the least intimation that tn,
murderers of the chaplain were TO be proceed

nuesa was spoken of in the cortes, the opinion
of the moderate members was met by me

minister of war advised them TO beware how
