Don Diego Joseph Navarro, Garcia de Val
laderes, Knight of the Order of St. Jago, Cap
tain-General and Governor of the Island of Cuba,
&c. &c.
WHEREAS by the Royal Order of the ißth of
May of the present year, I am given to un
derstand, That our Sovereign Lord the King, having
used all the prudent and effectual means which a love
of peace and regard for human nature always didate
to put an end to the war between France and England,
has seen that the latter power delays with ill intenti
ons, and on improper grounds still refufes to accept
the just proposals made by his majesty in quality of
mediator, and his sovereign patience being no longer
able to overlook the insidious designs of the court of
London, which are evidently calculated to gain time
and to seek for an opportunity of indemnifying itfelf
for the loss of its colonies out of the Spaniih domini
ons in the Weft-Indies, as manifeftly appear by the
preparations made and insults offered in this quarter,
his majesty has determined to declare war against the
king of Great Britain, and directed that, on receipt
of the said Royal Order, the fame be solemnly pro
claimed throughout America, to the end that coming
to the knowledge of his fubjedts in those dominions,
they may put thcmfelvcs in a posture of defence against
the enemy, and improve every opportunity of attack
ing them by fitting out privateers, with an aflurance
that his majesty grants them all the prizes they shall
make on the fubje&s of Great-Britain, and will more
over reward such as diftinguilh themselves in this
war. In compliance therefore with the tenor of the
said Royal Order, I do hereby make known to all the
inhabitants of the diftrift under my command, the
said declaration of war against the king, fubjeds and
territories of Great-Britain, in the terms prescribed
by his majesty, hereby prohibiting all intercourse with
them directly or indirectly, under the pain of high
treason, and earnestly exhorting all who for the hap,
pinefs of being his fubjefts have a regard for the ho
nour of his majesty, to apply themselves to war and
to all kinds of hostilities, with that valour for which
the Spanilh nation has in all ages been renowned,
and agreeably to the forms prescribed for privateering
by the royal ordinance of February ift, 1762, by in
terrupting the English commerce, attacking and sub
duing their forces, and doing them all poflible damage,
with a firm confidence that the justice of our cause
which has determined his majesty to declare war
against that nation, will secure to our operations the
favour and assistance of the Lord of Hosts ; and with
an assurance that this government, as far as in its
power, will give all necessary aid to promote and
render fuccefsful the enterprizes of those under its
jurifdidion, so that the fubjedts may not only reap the
advantages of their captures, but also merit the re
wards which his majesty's liberality has promised them.
And that this may come to the knowledge of all, and
that none may plead ignorance, I do order that thio be
proclaimed in all public places in this city, and in ail
the villages of this government.
