1820 Sept.3 (.24)
Emancipation Spanish
Edward Blaquiere Esqr. to J.B. Aug. 22d. no place.
I omitted in last letter to inform you that in the sitting of the 12th
instant, the commissions of legislation and finance, has made their report on the
papers which have been subnitted to them, relation to the re-establishment of the
society of Jesus during the reign of terror: and of their recommending an immediate
revocation of the decree— It now affords me very sincere pleasure to say
that the fate of that body is decided (I trust for ever) in Spain. The Cortes have
decreed their total suppression; those individuals of the society who are native
Spaniards will be permitted to remain in the Peninsula and allowed a pension
of 3300 Reals per annum, the rest are to quit the Kingdom. Their property
which is immense, will return from whence it came, into the pockets of the
people, and be forthwith appropiated to the payment of the national debt.—
