Lohmanowsky was atlached to that part of Napoleon’s army whicli was stationed in Madrid. “While in this city,” said Col. L. “ I used to speak freely among the people about the priests and Jesuits, and of ihc Inquisition.” It had been decreed by the Emperor Napoleon that the Inquisition and Monasteries should be suppressed; but the decree, like some of ihe laws enacted in ihis country, was not yet executed. Months had passed away, but the prisons oC the In quisilion were still unopened. One night about 10 or 11 o’clock, as Col. L. was walk ing ihe streets of Madrid, two armed men sprang upon him from an alley, and made a furious aiiack. lie instantly drew his sword, pul himself in ai position of defence, and while struggling with them, saw at a distance the lights of the patrols,—French soldiers mounted, who carried lanterns, and rode through the streets of the city at all hours of tlie night, to preserve order. He called to them in French, and, as they haslened to his assistance, the assailants took to their heels and escaped, not, however, before ho saw by their dress that they belonged to the guards of the Inquisition. The Colonel went immedialely to Marshal Soult, then Governor of Madrid, told him what had taken place, and reminded him of the decree to suppress this institution. Mar shal Soult replied, that he. might go and de stroy it. Col. L. told him that his regiment (the ninth of Polish lancers) was not sufficient lor such a service, but if he would give him an additional regiment—the 117lh, he would undertake the work. The 117lh regiment was under ihe command of Colonel De Lilo, who is now, like Col. L., a minister of the Gospel, and pastor of an Evangelical church in Marseille, France. “ The troops required were granted, and I proceeded (said Col. L.) to the Inquisition, which was situated about five miles from the city. It was surrounded by a wall of great strength, and defended by a company of soldiers. When we arrived at the walls, I addressed one of the sentinels, and summoned the holy fnihers to surrender to the imperial army,4tnd open the gates of the Inquisition. The sentinel, who was standing on the wall, appeared to enter into conversation for a moment with some one within, at the close of which he presented his musket and shot one of mV men. This was the signal for attach, and I ordered my troops to fire upon those who appeared upon the walls. ZUfroteQ to tfte isytwgtott of tfre afcea of jrwtHfow ilirsgmg pe ? M, H.

Spain. “ It was soon obvious that it was an une qual warfare. The walls of tho Inquisition were covered with the soldiers of the holy offifce; there was also a breast-work upon the wall, behind which they but partially ex* posed themselves os they discharged their muskets. Our troops were in the open plain, and exposed to a destructive fire. We had no cannon, nor could we scale the walls, and tho gates successfully resisted oil attempts at forcing them. I could not retire and send for cannon to break through the walls with out giving them time to lay a train io blow us up. Isaw'thal it was necessary to change "the mode of attack, and t directed some trees to be cut down and trimmed, to. be used as battering rams. Two of these were taken up 'by detachments of men, as numerous ns could work to advantage, and brought to bear upon the walls with all the power'which they cotild exert, while the troops kept up a fire to protect,them from the Art poured up* on them from the walls, Presently the walls began to tremble, a breach waw : made, and WELISBOROPGH, -TIOGA COUNTY, PA., THURSDAY MOKXTO, AUGUST 10, 1854. the imperial troops-rushed into the Inquisi tion. Here we met with an incident which nothing hut Jesuialical effrontery is equal to. The inquisitor-general, followed by the father confessors in their priestly robes, all came out of their rooms, as we were making our way into the interior of the Inquisition, and with long faces, and their arms crossed over their breasts, their lingers resting on their shoulders, as though they bad been deaf to all the noise of the attack and defence, and had just learned what was going on, they ad dressed themselves in the language of rebuke to their own soldiers, saying, “ Why do you fght our friends the French f” “ Their intention, no doubt, was to make us think that this defence was wholly unau thorized by them, hoping if they could make us believe that they were friendly, they should have a better opportunity, in the confusion of the moment, to escape. Their artifice was too shallow, and did not succeed. I caused them to be placed under guard, and all the soldiers of the Inquisition to be secured as prisoners. We then proceeded to examine all the rooms of the stately edifice. We passed through room after room; found all perfectly in order, richly furnished, with al tars and crucifixes, and wax candles, in abundance, but could discover no evidences of iniquity being practiced there, —nothing of those peculiar features which we expected to find in an Inquisition. We found splendid paintings, and a rich and extensive library. Here was beauty and splendor, and the most perfect order on which my eyes had ever rested. The architecture—the proportions were perfect. The ceiling and doors of wood were scoured and highly polished. The marble pavements were arranged with a strict regard to order. There was every thing to please the eye and gratify a cultiva ted taste j but where were those horrid in struments of torture of which we had been told,, and where those dungeons in which hit man beings were said to be hurried allive 7- We searched in vain. The holy father as sured us that they had been belied; that we had seen all; and I was prepared to give up the search, convinced that this Inquisition was different from others of which I had heard. “ But Col. De Lile was not so ready as. myself to relinquish our investigation, and said to me, “ Colonel, you are commander to-day, and as you say, so it must be; but if you will be advised by me, let this marble floor be examined.' Let water be brought and poured upon it, and we will watch and see if there is any place through which it passes more freely than others."’-I replied to him, “ Do as you please, Colonel,” and ordered water to bo brought accordingly. The slabs of marble were large and beauti fully polished. When the water had been .poured dver the floor, much to the dissatis faction of the Inquisitors, a careful examina tion was made of every seam in the floor, to see if the water passed through. Presently Col. De Lile exclaimed that he had found it. By the side of one of these marble slabs the water passed through fast, as though there was an opening beneath. All hands were now at work for further discovery; the offi cers with their swords, and the soldiers with their bayonets, seeking to clear out the seam and pry up the slab; others with the butts of their muskets striking the slab with all their might to break it, while the priests remon strated against our desecrating their holy and beautiful house. While thus engaged, a sol dier, who was striking with the bull of his musket, struck a spring, and the marble slab flew up. Then the faces of the inquisitors grew pale as Belshazzar, when the hand writing appeared on the wall; they trembled all over. Beneath the marble slab, now partly up, there was a stair-case. I stepped to the altar, and took from the candlestick 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 of the inquisitors, who laid his hand gently on my arm, and with a very demure and sanctimonious look, said, “ My son, you must not take those lights with your bloody hands, they are holy.” “ Well,” I said, “ I will lake a holy thing to shed lighten iniqui ty ; I will bear the responsibility !” I took (he candle, and proceeded down the staircase. As we reached the foot of the stairs we en tered a large square room, which was called the Hall of Judgment. In the centre of it was a huge block, and a chain fastened to it. On this they had been accustomed to place the accused, chained to his' seat. On one side of the room was ab 'elevated seatj_called the Throne of Judgment;; the Inquisi tor-T3eneral occupied, and On either aide were seats less elevated, fob the priestly fathers, while engaged in the solemn business of the Holy Inquisition, “ From this room we proceeded to the right, and obtained access to small cells, ex tending the entire length of the edifice; and here such sights were presented as WO hope never to see again. “ These cells were places of solitary con finement, where the wretched objects of in quisitorial hate were confined year after year, till death released (hem from their sufferings, and there their bodies were suffered to remain until they were entirely decayed, and the rooms had become fit for others to occupy. To prevent this being offensive to those who occupied the inquisition, there were flues or tubes extending to the open air, sufficiently capacious to carry off the order. In these cells we found the remains of those who had paid the debt of nature; some of- them had been dead apparently but a short lime, while of otheiis 'nothing remained but the bones, still chained to the floor of their dungeon. “ In other cells, We found living sufferers of both sex&vand Of every age,-from, three Score years and - ten down to fourteen or. fif* m k VMI \un “ TUB AGITATION OP THOUGHT 18 THE BEGINNING OP WISDOM.” ! . -i .. -i r* 7 - I’-'--; M' ‘‘ ;l teen years-*-all naked aa When born in the world 1 and all in chains I Here were old men. add aged women', who had been shut up for, many years,' Here, too, were the mid dle-aged, and. the young man and maiden of fourteen years old. The soldiers immediate ly' went to work lo' release these captives from their chains, and took from their knap sacks their overcoats an|l other clothing, which they gave them to cover their naked ness. They were exceedingly anxious lo bring them out to theiighl of day; but being aware Of the danger, ! had food given them and then brought them gradually to the light, as they were able to hear it. ‘ ’ “We then proceeded to explore another room on the left. Here we found the instru-j ments. of torture, of every hind which the ingenuity of. men 'or devils could invent,” Col. L. thus describes four of these horrid in struments : 11 The first was a machine by which the victim wap secured, and then, be ginning with the fingers, every joint in the hands, arms,, and h°dy« was broken, or drawn, one after another, until the sufferer died. The second was a box, in which the tho head and neck of the accused were so closely screwed that he could not move in any way. Over the box was a vessel, from which one drop of Water a second fell upon the head of the victim —every successive drop falling upon precisely the same place, which suspended the circulation in a few moments, and put the sufferer lo tho most excruciating agony. The third was an infernal machine, laid horizontally, lo which the victim was bound; (his instrument was (hen placed be tween two beams, in which were scores of knives, so fixed that, by turning the machine with a crank, the flesh of the sufferer was torn from his limbs in small pieces. The fourth surpassed the others in fiendish inge nuity. Its exterior was a beautiful wbman, or large doll, richly dressed, with arms ex tended, ready to embrace the v ictim. Around her feet a semicircle was drawn. The vie lim who passed over this fatal mark touched a spring, which caused the diabolical engine to open; its arms clasped him, and a thou-' sand knives cut him into as many pieces, in their deadly embrace." Col. L. said that the sight of these engines of infernal cruelty, kindled the rage of the soldiers to fury. They declared that every inquisitor and soldier of the inquisition should be pul lo the torture. Their rage was ungo-' vernable. Col. L. did not oppose them ; they might have turned their arms against him, if he had astempted lo arrest their work. They Jjegan with the holy .fathers. The first they put to death ia the machine for breaking joints. The torture Of [he inqqisilor put lo death by the dropping of water on his head, was most excruciating. The poor man cried out in agony to be taken from the fatal ma chine. TnA Inquisitor-General was brought before the infernal engine, called “ The Vir gin.” lie begged to be excused. “No,” said they, “ you have caused others to kiss her, and now you must do it.” The inter locked their bayonets so ns lo form large forks, and with these pushed him over the deadly circle. Tho beautiful image instantly prepared for the embrace, clasped him in its arm,- and he was cut into innumerable pieces. Col. L. said (hat he witnessed (he torture of four of them—his heart sickened at.the aw ful scene—and he left the soldiers lo wreak their vengeance on the last guilty inmate of that prison-house of hell.' In the meantime it was repotted through Madrid that the prisons of the Inquisition were broken open, and mullituds hastened to the fatal spot. And oh, what a'meeting was there ! It was like a resurrection ! About a hundred of those who had been hurried for many years, were now restored lo life.— There were fathers who found their long lost daughters ; wives were restored lo their hus bands, sisters lo their brothers, and parents to their children; and there were some that could recognize no friend among the multi tude. The scene was such as no tongue can describe. When the multitude had retired, Col. L. ■caused the library, paintings, furniture, &c., to be removed, and having sent tothe city for a . wagon-load Of powder* he deposited a large quantity in the vaults beneath the build ing, and placed a slow match in connection with it. All withdrew to a distance, and in a few moments the assembled multitude be held a most joyful sight. The walls end turrets of the massive structure rose majesti cally toward the heavens, impelled by the tremendous explosion, and then fell back to earth a heap of ruins!— N. Y, Leader. Force of Imagination.— A yomg lad, son of Mr. William Booth, resident of Cov ington, was bitten in the idg ab tut eight weeks since by a dog. ...The,wound w-asbut slight and nothing more .was thought of il, until afler-the recent melancholy case of hy drophobia in that city. The circumstances connected with that event made so great an impression upon the mind of the young boy that he fin illy fancied himself infected with the horrid malady, and so on Wednesday last he became so impressed with the belief that he was then suffering from its effects. Perfectly Reasonable,' his friends endeavored to convince him, of his delusion, but in vain. Medical assistance was called in, and a quan tity of-blood token from him, aficr which opiates were administered, and he slept for nearly ten hours. W hen he awoke he called for water, of which he drank profusely,,ap paremjy .fbrgqtful.of fbo. night-marq,which had previously haunted; him.
