trary winds. By these arrivals, the Edi.

SPAIN.
The Madrid dates are to the 9 list of De-
crmber. Ferdinand presided at Coun-
Gil of State on the 10th; the object of the
meeting is said to be the granting an am
nesty, which was expected to be publish
ed on the 30th. On the other hand, we
find it stated in letter of the 18th that
the general amnesty, so long expected,
is still disputed point; majority of the
Council of CASTLE oppose it, and the fana-
tics do their utmost to excite discomfort
in the minds of the people, both here and
in the provinces, with respect to the con-
ciIiatory measures, which to the moder-
ate seem indisputable. Addresses and re-
monstrances to the King succeed each 9TH
err; several are written in such violent Ian
guage, and hold up to the Sovereign the
prospect of so many evils and disasters,
if he pardons and unites round his throne
so many thousand Of misled subjects, that
his Majesty, naturally inclined to listen to
the Services. will very likely follow their
advice, in spite of all the obi actions and
the efforts of the Foreign Ministers, and
the counsel of some wise Spaniards, who
feel that reconciliation is necessary. Mean
time the prisons are full, the trials of the
unhappy persons confined in them are
without any relaxation of severity, and
though the war has been terminated these
three months, $4,000 prisoners of war en-.
dure, in the despots in France, very DIFF
ferent fate from that which was promised
them before the King left Cadiz to Join the
French Prince"
The prelates and all the ecclesiastic,

had proceeded in mob to the prisons @
that town, and assassinated more than zoo
ConstitutiOnalists.
