to escape the miseries of dungeon, or
the tortures of the bloody lnquisition.

|guished, as Vsldas, Alava. and Infantas ::

FRANCE.
The Journal des Debates of Thurs
day, Oct. 80, contains document which
is deemed equivalent to an official de-
claraticn on the part ofthe French gov
eminent of its views, both present and
prospective, with regard to Spain. 1t
announces that
THE councils of the King and fthe
Prince Generalissimo have obtained a
happy influence, and have produced
consolatory results, viz.--the DEGREES
of Port St. Mary, of Xerez, and of Sc
vile, imprudently conceded to passions
which the Revolutionists have cruelty
provoked, have been already modified
IN cons onance with the views of a
more calm and generous policy"
The document denies that England
has acknowledged the independence
ofthe Spanish Colonies; and AYERS that
Consular agents only have been ap-
pointed, expressly avoiding any such
acknowledgment. In conclusion il says
"The insulated CONFUSION which still
agitates the east of Europe, far from
spreading itself, will be circumscribed,
for all the difficulties which existed le-
tween Russia and tue Porte, respecting
Wallachia and the navigation of the
Black Sea, appear to be removed. Rus
STA being thus placed with respect to
Turkey in the relation of a friendly Pow
er, no further obstacle remains to pre-
vent Christian Europe from interfering,
by common accord, in favor of the Chris
tians of the East, without compromising
her internal peace and her own tran
quillity. In this case new career of
glory opens to France, whose flag is
already in the Grecian seas, the dread
of brigands, and, whose agents by their
noble and firm conduct, have acquired
the respect and esteem of both Greeks
and Turks

The Madrid Rest1urGdor Of the 10th
of October in a gratis supplement, con-
tains the representation of the city of
Corunna against Chambers, and in favor
of the holy tribunal Of the Inquisition ~
In the course of that enlightened docu-
ment it is said, "Deign, then, to attend
to this representation. Re-establish the
holy tribunal of the faith, that the impi-
Gus may be struck dumb and put 10 fight,
and return no more to propagate their
pernicious principles. Finally, consign
the education of Jesus, to perform that
duty in the same manner as before its
extinction, in order that our tranquility
may thus be distinguishing tranquil
