Lehmanolvskv was annull ed to lite part of Kapoleanls army ii which wassiauonea in; jatinuj And while in that city, said Col. L., 1 usexl to speak free ly, among the peoDle what 1 thought of the Priests and Jesuits, arjd of the Inqui sition, it had been decreed bv the Em peror Napoleon; that thej inquisition and Monasteries should be suppressed, but Ihe decree he said-like sorrieiof the laws en? acted in this, country, wjis not executed. Months had passed away ;tnd the prisons of the Inquisition had not been opened. One nijght about lOorll ocock,as he was walking one of the stree sbf Madrid, two armed!men sprang upon h(m from an al ley and made a furious attack.! He instant ly drew his sword, and iu himself in a posture of defence, and while struggling with them, he saw: at a distancethe lights of the patroles, French sjolpiers tflouhted; who carried lanterns, and who rode thro' the streets all hours oflthe nighito pre serve order. He called to them in French; and; as? they hastened to litsSassistanee . th- Un Ins arrival at I not hnWv.n Kr u -J..J .i ed that he had found it. these marhle slabs the fast, as though there wab an opening beneath. All nanus were now at vork for ftiither discov ery. The officers with By the side of ope of water passed through their sivords and the soldiers with their hay6ncts seeking, to clear out the seam and pry up the slab. Oth ers with the buls; of heir muskets, striking the slab with all their might to break it ; yhile the priests remonstrated against iur desecrating their holy and beautiful house; .While thits en gaged, a soldier thp was striking with the? hut oChis musket, strubk a-spring, & the marhleslah flew up. ! Then the fares of the Inquisitors gtrew 1 paie as ieisnazzar wnen ine hann-writing ap peared on the wall; they trembled all over. Beneath the marble now partly tip, there was a stair-case. I stepped to the altar and took from ! the candle-stick one of the candles four feet in length, which was! burning, that I might explore the room below. 'As I was doing this I was arrested by one ofl ihe Inquisitors, who laid his hand gently on my arm. and with a very demure and holy! look, said, My son, you must not take those lights. with your bloody hands ; ther are holy. Well,' saidi; I will take a holy thing to shed light on ioiquity; : will bear the;, re sponsibility.' H,l I) ! I totk the candle and proceeded dowh ' the stair-case. As we readied the foot of the stairs, we entered a large square room, : which; was called the Hall of Judgment;.. In the centre fwas a large block, and a chain fastened to it. Qn this they bad been accustomed lo place the accused, chained to his seat Oa'one side of theroom was an ; .elevated eat,lcalled I the" Throne of Judgment. This the Inquisitor General occu4 tn these Jcells we found the rrmaihsjof some who had naicf the debt of nature ; soma of them had ! been dead apparently but a short time, whfle ofoihrs nothing remained but thfir bones stil chainedj to the floor of their'dungeon. In other Cells,' we found living sufferers of both sekes-f and of every age, from three score years and fen down to fourteen or fifteeayears all nakedjas when brought into tho world ancj alii in chains. Here were old men and aged wpmeri, w(ho had? been shut up for many years, j Heje tDo yere the middle aged, and the; young man an dthe maiden cf 14 years! The soldiers immediately went to work to re lease . thej captives from the chains, and took from their knapsacks thei overcoats and other clothing, whtch they gave to cover theij- naked ness. ThejT were exceedingly anxious to bring them to the light of day but Col. L. aware of the danger, had food given to them, and brought them to the jlight as they were able to bear it. - We then proceeded, said Col., L. to explore another room on the lelt. Here we lound in struments of torture of every kind which the ingenuity of men or devils could invent. Col. Lk hero described four of these horrid instru ments. The first was a machine by which the victim .was confined; and then beginning with fingers, every joint in the. hands, arms and body, was broken, one after another, until the victim died. The second was a box in w hich the head and neck of ; the victim was so closely confined hy a screw, that he could not move in any way. Over tho box was a vessel, from which a drop of water a second fell upon the head of the vic tim every successive drop tailing precisely pn the same place on the head, suspended the cir culation in a few moments, and put the sufTerer in the most excruciating agony. The third was an .infernal machine laid horizontally, to which the victim was hound, the machine being placed between, two leams, in which were scores of knives so fixed, that by turning the machine with a crank, the flesh of the sufferer was torn from him in small pieces. The fourth surpass ed the others in fiendish ingenuity. Its exteri or was a beautiful woman, or large doll, richly dressed, with arms extended, ready to embrace its victim. Around her feet a semicircle was drawn. The victim who passed over this fatal mark, touched a spring, which caused the dia bolical engine to open, its arms clasped him, and a thousand knives cut him' into as many pieces in the- deadly embrace. . Col. L. said that the sijiht of those infernal machines of crtelty, kindled the rage of the soldiers toibry. They declared that the Inqtiis- itor and eyery soldier ot the inquisition should Mr raire was ungov. ernablc. C(1. L. did not oppose them ; they might have turned their arms against him, if he had attempted to arrest their work. They began with the Holy Fathers. The first -they, piit'to death in the machine for breaking joints. The torture of the Inquisitor put to death by the drnpping of water was excruciating. The poor man cried out fn agony to be taken Hon) the fatal machine. The Inquisitor General was brought before the infernal machine called 'the Virgin !' He begs to be excused. 4 No, said they, you have caused others to kiss her, and now you must do it.' They interlocked their bayonets so as to form large forks, and wilh these pushed him over the deadly circle. The beautiful doll instantly prepared for the deadly emhrace, clasped him in its arm?, and he was cut into innumerable pieces. Col. L. said he witnessed the torture of four of them his heart sickened at the sight and he left the soldiers to wreak the vengeance upon the last guilty in mate of this prison house' of hell. In the- mean time, it was reported through' Madrid, that the prisons of the Inquisition were ;j hrotcen open ; and multitudes hastened to the fatal spot. And O, what a meeting was there ! It was like a resurrection! About a hundred who had been buried for many years, were now restored to life. There were fathers who f Rind their long lost 1 daughters, wives were restored to their husbands, listers to their brothers, and parents to their children ; and there were some who could recognize no friend among the mul titude. The scene was such as no tongue can describe. ' ! ! Vhen the multitude had retited, Col. L. caused the library, paintings, furniture, &rM to be removed, and having sent to the city for a wagon load of powder, he deposited a larre ntuintitv in thoi vault tionontti 1. -Also, the finest Linuors. tmch as , in exoljaijpe for work. lt elniv ,oK n u . i French Brnndii J imnirn Hum.

In New York, last ' week, the Pupifs of ihe Deaf and Dumb School were brought down by 'their Teachers, to see Peale's great picture of " The Court of Death." Mr. peet, the Principal, interpreted its meaning in signs to the pupils. It must, indeed, have been a touching sight to witness the interesting unfortunates silently gazing on the almost speak ing canvass, and turning their eyes to their Pre- i ceptor, to receive from him explanations of what was noscure or douhttul. ilow eager must they have been to catch every line of shade pf the picture, and whenever they became sensi ble.o"the idea of the artist without the aid of the lecturer, how much their delight was en hanced by the fact. It is seldom one has an op portunity ofwilnessing such an exhibition of unfeigned appreciation, aHhose silent admirers afforded. ! ! ! . ; The last Red River Republican, published at Alexandria, in Louisiana, announces the death, near that place,1 of Gen.
