" Such are the contents; and the object is, manifestly, that when the letters are opened. treason may be attributed to the new commanders, and their death may be occasioned, and the army of the Patriots be left without leaders. " This expedient, which has been detected, gives some idea of the precaution necessary to avoid the conse q uence of the per- Ady of Murat and his agents, v•ho are endeavouring to spread discord and confusion among the people in every possible direc tion, If *olefin and good order be not preserved, we shall never accomplish the purpose we have in view, which is to defend our religion. our country .and our beloved Soverei,vn, Ferdinand VII.
