SPAIN . On the 18 th and 21 st of January , 1797 , at the Convent of St . Paul in Seville , under the presidency of the reverend Father Francis Alvarado , Professor of Theology , there was maintained by Anthony Garcia , novice
of the convent , a Thesis directed particularly against the French Republic , Ementita Gallorum Respublica , with which the ^ King of Spain was at war . This Thesis , afterwards printed ,
consists of thirteen propositions , the substance of one of which is , that Frenchmen taken in battle ought to be an exception to the rule received in Christian nations of not subjecting prisoners to slavery .
Father Alvarado , a very decided advocate of despotic measures , authorized princes to pursue with arms persons who apostatize from the faith . Voltaire , bent on calumniating Caveirac , would almost make one believe that this author pronounced the eulogy of the celebrated affair of Saint
Bartholomew . In fact , the contrary is proved by the evidence ; but at the same time it is clear that father Alvarado is guilty of the crime falsely imputed to Caveirac , for the 6 th article of the Thesis
declares expressly that the massacre of Saint Bartholomew was most just , the events then passing and those following justifying it as a necessary measure . It would be curious to learn if this
merciful Father Alvarado and his eleve Garcia , supposing them to be living , still hold their sanguinary doctrine . The Courier Fransais , of Dec . 5 , 1820 , contains the following paragraph : — " The Junta of diocesan religious censorship has unanimously pronounced injurious to the sacred books
