You may per'naps dread this vigorous reso
lution. But what other measure could we
or ought we to adopt!* Shall tiicie he found
one single man am >ng us, who prefers the
vile and ignominious death of slaves to the
glory of dying on the field of honor, with arms
n his hand, defending his unfortunate, mo
narch, our homes, our wives ami our chil
dren ? It the very moment, when those hands
ot banditti were receiving the kindest offices
and favors from the inhabitants of our capital
they murdered in cold blood, upwards oi ‘2000
people, for no other reason than their hav
ing defended their insulted brethren ; what
could we expect from them, had we submit
ted to tlit ir dominion ? Their perfidious con
duct towards our king and the whole of his
family, whom they deceived and deoyed in
to i- l ance, under the promise of ai. internal
armistice, in older to chain them all, oat no
precedent in history.—Their conduct to
wards the whole nation i.*- more iniquitous
than we had the right to expect from a horde,
ot Hottentots.—They have profaned our
temples;—they have insulted our religion;
t'uy have assailed our wives; in fine, thev
have broken -'ll their promises, and there
foists no right which they have not violat
ed.-1 o m ms, Asturians, to arms ! let us
not forget, that Asturias at the time of ano

could over lord it over us. whatever exerti

us offer up our prayers to the God of Hosts.
Let it* implore the intercession of our Lady!

sc.:.!, :.r dv. liU'ieu to l!ie enemies of our

your attachment to the good customs which
you have inherited from our ancestors, induc
ed you to snake off the disgraceful yoke,
which was prepared for us bv sedition, and
by the false promises of 'he French govern

the most abominable .Vlachiavclism, merely
endeavored to deceive us and all Spain, in
order to cover with shame and disgrace, the
most generous nation upon earth.
^ mi have, placed implicit confidence in me
and ibis honor which you have bestowed on
trie undeservedly, oblige me to tear the veil
ot the most detestable iniquity and injustice.
My life, which ran only be oi any value to
it <•, as f; r as it can promote vein- happiness
and the prosperity of inv beloved country, is
tlic sinallcst sacrifice I can make in return,
for the ninny proofs of confidence ami lo\c
you h ivc honored me with. Do not doubt it,
Arragf'iiiaus ; my mind is nut able to har
bor crimes, nor to associate with those who
cherish and protect them. Home of the De
positaries of the confidence of the Spanish
nation, they who hold the .-.uprente power in
their hands, are the first to Work your ruin
by every n cans malice can suggest, and to
F™ trnl'crous connection* with the ene
mies of our country. Thirst of gold, and the
mistaken hie i which they have perhaps con
ceived, to d< file our destinies by their iniqui
tous proceedings, make them view with in
difiereti' e the destruction of their country.
Although I have strong grounds to believe
it, vet i shall forbe »r to mention name-, lest
1 r.lvould render grief still more poignant. At
this time, being acquainted with your deter-*
ruination, that of your neighbors, the inhabi
tant* of Valcntia, and ail the provinces, of
Spain, where tl»e same sentiments arc enter
tained, some of their leaders have perhaps
changed their determination, embraced the
cause of justice, and endeavored to shake off
the yCke, which they tried to impose onus,
by mentis the most iniquitous anti base.—
Should I be mistaken in this opinion, time1
will discover* the truth. Fear not, Arrago- j
mans; let ns defend the most just of causes,;
and we shall be invincible. The enemy’s |
troops now in Spain are not able to with- j
stand our efforts. Woe betide them, should
they ever dare to repeat in any other Spa
nish town, what they did in Madrid on the
'd May, sacrificing without pity, and call
ing those seditious and assassins, of whom
they had but very latelv received honors
and favors which they did not deserve. 11 iv
onne has witnessed and will remember the
acts of violence, which, after a long series of
treacheries and frauds, have been commit
ted ; acts of violence which clearly appear
by the striking contradictions found in the
papers published, where Charles IV. is chag
with having conspired with-a minister, who
is afterwards appointed a member of the
council of government ; where the king, his
son, who was never married hut once, is
questioned about his first wife. In conse
quence thereof, it is my duty to declare, and
1 accordingly do hereby declare what fol
lows :
1. That the French Enjperor, all the in
dividuals of his family, and everv French ge
neral and officer, shall lie personally respon
sible for the safety of the King, and of his
brother and uncle.
2. That, in case any violence should be at
tempted against lives so valuable, in order
that Spain may not be without a king, the
nation will make use of their elective right
in avor of the Archduke Charles, as ne
phew of Charles III. in case that the prince
ot Sicily, or the infant Don Pedro, and the
other heirs, should not be able to concur.
3. That should the French army commit
any robberies, devastations, and murders, t i
ther in Madrid or any other town, invaded
bv the French troops, they shall be consi
dered as guilty of high treason, and no quar
ter shall be given to any of them.
4. That all the transactions which have
hiterto t :ken place, shall be considered as
| illegal, voul, and extorted by violence, which
is known to lie practised in both places
5. 1 hat what may hereafter be done in

0. 1 hat all deserters of the French army
who shall present themselves shall be ad
mitted in Arragon, and treated with that
generosity which forms a prominent feature
of the Spanish national character; they shall
be disarmed and conducted to this capital,
where they may enlist in our troops.
7. All other provinces and kingdoms of

the whole of this town is in arms, to avenge'
the provocation an*, insults we have receiv

to check the ardoi of our people, especially

it may produce the result at which wc all

august title of a great nation, which you have
ictjuired.
Frenchmen ' the SpanKh nation yottr ally
•md generous friend, invites you to desert
those colours destined to enslave nations, and.
to rally under the standard which she h >s
displayed for tbr most ke.t Cr:,c the w-'r’d
fi.is ever witnessed, anu in defence of her
laws ami king, of which they have already
deprived her, not by fores of arms, but by
fa.sehood and treachery, and the blackest
ingratitude. Wo arc all ready to die ; and
you, like us, ought to brave death, to efface
tbe ignominy which would otherwise attach
to your nation. ’J'he Spaniards offer vou a
just reward for such a generous conduct;
they will receive you with open arms; you
will fight with them ; and, whenever the w ar
shall be brought, as we hope, to a happy con
clusion, you shall have lands, with the pro
duce of which you may pass the remainder
Oi vr.ur life in peace and tranquility, and in
the bosom of a nation which loves and res
pects you, will always see justice done vou,
and with which you will enjoy all kinds of
blessings.
Italians, Germans from all the provinces
ot tint vast empire, Poles, Swiss, and yen
all who compose what are called French,
armies! will you fight for him who hos op
pressed you, and robbed VOl] of PVPI'V th’irxr
you held most sacred ? For him who has
torn you from your homes, deprived you of
your property, your wives, your children ;
in fine, of your country, which lie had pre -
yiously reduced to slavery ? And will vi
fight against so generous a nation as the
Spania ds, who have received you with such
friendly hospitality, and who had so high a.
regard for you as to respect votir rights at
tin* period of their greatest glory and power,
because they justly look upon the inhabitants
of every country as their brothers? And.
will you fight against that nation which it is
intended to conquer and enslave, not bv force
of arms, ns the brave are used to do but
under the cloak ot allia ce and friendship,
and with such horrid deceit and treachery,
that no instance of the kind is to be found in
the annals of history, not even among bar
barous nations ? No, we cannot believe it.
Come and join us, and you will find in us
valor, generosity, and true Iiaii >\ We
you the same rewards as to the French ; and
we hope, that you and your posterity will
enjoy them in an undisturbed pcccc.

THF. PROVINCE OE VALLADOLID TO ALL
THE PROVINCES OE SPAIN.
A'i'j/r Cautitiang—The common foe of
mankind was the traitor who t- re front our
bosom our amiable Ferdinand VIl. and the
whole Royal Family. He carries his auda
city the length of holding out to us offers of
happiness & peace, while he is laying waste
our country, pulling down our churches, and
slaughtering our brethren. His pride, che
rished by a set of villains who are constant
ly anxious to offer incense on his shrine, and
tolerated by numberless victims, who rue
m his ch iii-s, have caused lf.n to conceive
the fantastical idea of proclaiming himself
Lord and lluler of the whole world. There
is no altrocity which he floes not commit to
attain that end. The respectable name of
the great Kmperor »f Russia; the political
dissim ation of the German Kmperor; the
imoroii.s condescension of the I Ioiv Father of
the Church ; the opinion of true Frenchmen,
exposed more than others to the severity of
their iron sceptre; in short the most sacred
aws ot I inanity have been trampled under
loot wjth the utmost contempt, to pronounce
the detestable sentence of the extirpation of
the House of Bourbon. Shall all these out
rages all these iniquities, remain unpunish
ed while Spaniards, and Castilian Spani
ards yet exist ? No, it Cannot be. Your
minds glowing with generous ardour for your
religion and your country, have resolved to
renew the heroic, scenes in which Castilian
valour Rhone with immortal lustre, saved
the country, and consolidated our religion.
1 lie stratagems which hitherto secured vie
tones to the Tyrant, vanished the moment
when Lurope saw with her own eves the
aitlul snares and devices by which he seduc
ed the unweary, until he had bent their
neck under his yoke. Let us s,h>?d the Inst
drop to resi'-t that dominion. Let us all be
coir gallant sold ers, full of discipline and
subordination. Let us breathe but obedience
and respect for the great man by whom we
are governed, one of the be?t generals of
i’pain, his excellency Don Gregorio do la.
Cuerta. To anas, Castilians, to’nrms ; let
us die loi o’ i Country, our Religion, and our
King*
