At Cadiz I was placed in a castle, and found that by a necree of his Catholic Majesty of 15th Oct. 1818, I was immediately, on my arrival, to be immured m a dungeon at Ceuta, and deprived ofall'cnmmunicatioii from outside the walls. Some American friends had the kindness to have the cxe-' cution of this part of the decree suspend ed for a few days, but I found also, that notwithstanding the manly steps taken by my government in my behalf—not withstanding the solemn promises of Doit Onis, and tne dignified reclamation of Mr. Erving, our Minister at Madrid, for_ the release of mv person, that the Spanish government had. absolutely resolved to sacrifice me.
