As soon as any of the Members of the Junta opposed the violent measures that 'were propaste-, these two wretches called out Treason:, and im. inediately a tent) Was c6llected under the windows of Aranitiez. The extravagance and wickedness of these dangerous men mani fested itself upon all occasions. As soon as they learnt that the Emperor was at Burgos, and he would soon be at Madrid, they pahlished a declaration of war against France, replete with itt- , stilts and folly.
