Fjiom Spanish Papers.
* Skvillf., October 25.
Directions were given, on the 22d inst. to
publish, in the Government Gazutte, the
following Royal Decree, which His Majesty
addressed, ou the 8th of September, to the
Dean of the Supreme Council ot Spain and
the Indies.
“ Spain beirg now raised to that jritch of
glory for which she is indebted to her valor
and magnanimity, can do longer, without
exposing hfer character, look wi|h indiffer
ence upon the insults and hostile proceed
ings of the Danish Government, which can
not plead, as an apologv to Spain, the state
of bondage and oppression in which it is held
by France.
** One of the means resorted to bv the
latter, to ebtain her ends, was to withdraw
from Spain part of the Spanish nrmy, ami to
send it to Hamburg, und thence to D-n
n.ark. where it rendered, to the Sovereign
and to the French themselves, in the war in
which they were engaged, the services
which all Europe has witnessed, and which
might have been expected from Its disci
pline and valor, but which, while they re
dounded very much to its glory, were pro
portionally detrimental to it, as is pretty
clearly proved by the number of men it lost
in those frozen regions. The moment that
the Spanish troops in Denmark were ap
prized of the noble determinniion of their
countrymen to shake off the yoke of France,
*r»d to declare war against her, they took
the generous and almost unprecedented re
solution of abandbning that country, and
emhaiking to join their compatriots in their
own country, thus flying to the assistance of
their brethren, and encountering danger to
share in the giorv which the latter were ac
quiring: a memt cable instance of the unani
niity and conformity of sentiments prevail
ing among the Spaniards, even when sepa
rated by immense tracts of country.
*• The Marquis de la Romani, who com
manded these troops, confiding in,the valor,
constancy -and patriotism cf the men, and
assisted by the zeal and general consent of
the officers, succeeded in bringing .off the
best part of th« troops, which he collected
in the Isle of Langeland, where they were
enabled to embark, for Spain, by the pow
erful assistance given them by the comnmn
dtr in chief of tne Rritish naval forces in
those seas. L
•• iiieu*-wcncy oi ttie Marquis ae sa no ,
iraua’s proceedings, and his anxiety to a
void whatever might wear an air of hostili
ty against the Danish Government,, and »o
keep up, on hi>part, ihe gocd understand
ing pi's vailing between that court aud his
own, were aurrird to such .t length that, jt
being absolutely necessary to attack a few
Danish vessels, to take possession of the
fortress of Niborg, which was to protect
the escape of his army, the British admi
ral undertook to attack and compel them to
strike.
“ Jf Denmark had kept neutral upon that
occasion, neither opposing the departure of
our troops, i.ur exsrting herself to detain
them, Spain, adhering to the delicate and
scrupulous plan she had laid down for her
eelf, would not yet adopt string measures a
gainst Denmark, nor would she break asuu
der the bonds of friendship St good understan
ding which had, time out of mind, subsist
ed between the two nations ; but subseque it
events evince the active share which, wil
lingly or unwillingly. His Danish Majesty
lias borne, and is bearing in the war be
tween Spain and France.
“ Denmark opposed the departure of the
Spanish troops from her territories; and, if
' she failed, the failure should be ascribed to
her want of means, or to the exertions of
the Spanish troops to carry their determi
nation into effect, rather than to the will of
that court, which adheres to the system of
coalr ion with France, and blindly obeys the
French Emperor’s orders.
“ This is most clearly proved by the re
fusal of admitting a Spanish charge d’af
f dies at Copenhagen, and by Count de
BevnitolFs answer, which merely stated
that, under the existing circum-.tances, it
was impossible to bold any intercourse with
him. This wan adding injustice to insult.—
While tins was taking p ace, the Danish
Minister. M. Edmund Bourke, continued
unniolested and respected in Madrid, and it
was only about the latter end of July 1808,
that he left that capital and gave up his
place, to follow the French; which circum
stance, independeat of what has been rela.
ted above, demonstrated hw adherence to
France, aud his unwillingness to maintain a
ny intercourse with Snam.
“ Denmark has placed her naval and land
forces at the disposal of France; her for
tresses erne as an outwork and shelter to
tlx se of the latter power ; Spanish vessel*
cannot freely navigate her seas, and still less
enter her harbors for commercial purposes,
or even to shelter themselves in bad wea
ther; 8c a number of Spaniards are detained
in her fortresses *s prisoners. In short, Den
mark is, without previous declaration, at wat
villi Spain. Can any thing more he done
by a power against another which it consi
ders as its enemy ? *Spain knows, that Den
mark, neither with a view to hi r interest* 1
nor from n hostile feeling, nor from any o'.
tber motive, can embark with pleasure in I
this r niest. She knows, that, overruled
by the power and influence of France, Den
mark cannot shale- off the y ke which
France has laid her under, a yoke as heavy
Hint arbitrary as if site were a conquered
k rgdom ; and that Denmark, if free, would
never act against a power from which sne.
has received no Injury, ami whose friend
*hip, on tiie contrary, she has many rea
sons to cultivate. lJut Spain must answer
totxirope, 11 the w»r!d, for her conduct;
•he docs not think herself bound toshiw any
deference or regard for a power from which
she has received and is daily receiving inju
ries, and which has committed acts of hos
tility against-' her subjects, their commerce
ant) navigation.
" Spain, consulting her g—nerosity, *,as
wai»ed a whole year, m give Denmark time
to adopt a li -e of comm't m >re con mnant to
her interests and duties; but now, consult
ing her dignity, Spain must, without any
further delay, take a step- imperiously re
qnired by her honor, character and f;reat
nc s».
“ Whether Denmark considers herrclf;*
independent and ab!-to act withfie-dim.
or she is under the control of Nap »leon, an »
•iibject to his will, Denmark is no longer at

which they were united, ‘'.re now broken ;
permit and authorise the Spanish troops,
ships of war and of private individuals, to
attack the Danish forces wherever they
shall be found, to capture their ships when
ever they fall in with them, to avenge the
injuries we have received, and to earn- on
hostilities ngaint them, until a Treaty of
Peace, previously agreed* upon by the. two
courts, shall have put an end to a war, in
the provocation of which Spain loudly de
clares, to the world, that she had no hand ;
as she,on the contrary, endeavored to avoid
it; and for the calamities of which she is
not answerable, the whole responsibility ly
ing upon the aggressor, who has so unjus.ly
given rise to the differences of which it is
the result; It shall lie so understood by the
Council and Chamber of Castile for the cor

From the Gibraltar Chronicle of Aon. 11.
Seville, Nov. 3.
His majesty has been pleased to issue the
following manifesto, appointing the days on
which the General Cortes of Spanish mo
narchy are to meet and begin to transact
business;
Spaniards •
Ry a Combination ni events, no less
singular than happy. Providence has or
dained, that, in this dreadful crisis, you
cannot make the least progress towards in
dependence, without advancing also towards
liberty. Tyranny, already decrepit, and no
longer able to rivet your fetters,or render
them more intolerable, paved the way for
French despotism, which, by the terrible
display of its arm? and victories, is eadea
voringto lay you under its abominable yoke
of iron. At fi»*st it showed itself, like er#
ry new tyranny, under enticing forms; and
its p'Jiiical impostors attempted to gain
your good will by promising reforms in the
administration, and announcing the reign of
the law, under a constitution of their own
, making. A barbarous and absurd contra
diction, certainly worthy of their insolence.
To attempt to pcrsul.de us, that the moral
fabric of the liberiy and fortune of a nation,
can be raised upou foundations made up of
usurpation, iniquity and treachery. But
the Spanish people, amongst whom the true
principles of social equilibrium had flourish
ed earlier than among any other modern
nation; tltat people, who, first of all, enjoyed
; the prerogative? and advantages of civil li
berty, and knew how to oppose, to urbitrn
riness, the eternal burner which justice has
assigned to it ; that people was not to beg.
of any other, maxims of political prudence
and foresight, and had aright to answer
those impudent lawgivers, that, t» them, the
artifices of intriguers, or the commands of
tyrant?, were no laws.
Animated by this generous instinct, and
warmed by the indignation excited in your
breasts, by the unprecedented perfidy with
which ycu were invaded, you flew to arms
without apprehending the dreadful vicissi
tudes of so unequal a contest; and fortune,
subdued by your enthusiasm, did you ho
mage, and rewarded your boldness with vie
torv. The immediate result of theGe first
advantages was the re-organization of the
State, at that time divided into as many
fractions as provinces. Our enemies fanci
ed, that they had sown amongst us the dead
'y seeds of anarchy, and did not observe,
that Spanish prudence and circumspection
j were still more powerful than French ma
chiavelism. A Supreme Authority was e*
; tablishcd without opposition, without vio
lence; and the nation, whose sublime enthu
siasm and victories Had so lately filled the
world with astonishment, obtained its admi
ration and respect by her moderation and
wisdom.
The Central Board wa3 installed, and its
! first rare was to announce to you, that, if
the expulsion of the enemy was the first ob
ject of its attention, in point of time, the
internal and permanent welfare of the state,
was the principal one in point of Importance,
because, to suffer the numerous abuses
which arbitrary power had cherished for
[the ruin of the state, to continue to prey
I upon its vitals, would be, in the eyes of your
present government, no less heinous an of
fence, than to deliver you up into Bonaparte’s
hand3. And accordingly, no sooner did the
rapid succession of military events allow it,
than it made the name of your Cortes re
sound in your ears, a name, which has ever
been the bulwark of our civil liberty, and
the throne of the national majesty ; a name,
formerly pronounced by the learned with a
degree of mystery, by politicians, with up
I rehension, and by tyrants, with horror ;
but which, from this moment, must import
the indestructible basis of the monarchy_
the most solid prop of the rights of Ferdi
nand VII. and hi* family—one «f the right*
of the people—and one of the obligations of
govern mem.
Nothing short of it could reward the moral
resistance, as general as sublime, which
confounds our rneihies, and drive them to
despair in the midst of their victories. Those
battles lost, those armies destroyed, those
towns set on fir« ; and, for all that, fresh
battles fought, new armies created, and the
standard of loyalty erected again over the
ruins and ashen abandoned bv the enemy ;
♦ hose soldiers who disperse in one action]
land come forward again in another ; those
! multitudes who, stripped of almost every
thing they had, hasten totheii homes to di
1 vide the miserable remnants of their fortune
; with the defendet s of the country ; that inix
jtcre of the groans ot grief and despair, with
[patriotic songs; that struggle, in short, of
!erociry and barbarousness tin the one hand,
wk!i t e-istance and unconquerable constan
cy on the other; all this presents an ensem
b'e equally awiul and .magnificent, which
Kiirope is contemplating with wonder, and
which, on some future day, history will re
cord in letters ol gold, for the admiration
a*d imitation of posterity.
So magnanimous and mo generous a nation,
■limd'l, henceforth, be governed by real
taws only, such as bear the great stamp of
the public consent and common utility, a
stamp which nothing can impress np'.n
ihcp hut their being enacted by the august
assi oi n r e hich has been announced to you.
l ise Hoard’s intention Wa», that it should
meet in the crr-*e °r next year, or enrller,
if possible ; but, since it marie it known,
the public events which have taken place in
the intervening ♦!*»*», have, by their verv va
riety, agitated men’s minds ; and the dissi
milarity ot opinions, upon the organization of
the government and tiie restoration of our
fundamental laws, has recalled the attenti
on of the Hoard to these higiilv important
objects, which it has lately considered with
the most serious attention.
Some wished the existing government to
be converted into a regency of three or five
members, and this opinion was grounded
upon one of our ancient laws applied to our
present situation; but the circumstances,
in which the kingdom was placed when the!
French pulled oft’ ihe mask of friendship to!
carry their treacherous usurpation into ef
feet, are unprecedented in our history, and
could not have been foreseen in our institu
lions. Neither the infancy nor the insanity i
cf the Prince, nor even his captivity, in the
usual manner that such misfortunes come to j
pass, could be compared with what was
then befalling u«, or with the lam .ntabie j
situation in which wc were at the time.—A
political stritc entirely new, suggested poli
tical forms and principles equally new. Toj
expel the French, to restore rnr heloved'mo
narch to freedom and his throne, and to. lay
down the solid and durable foundations of a
good government; such are the maxims
which first set on our revolution, and which;
now support and direct it; asd that govern
merit will be the best, v.hich shall better i
secure the gratification of these three wish- j
csof the Spanish nation.
Does the Regency mentioned in that law,
promise that security ? How many inconve
niences, how many d ingers, how manv par
ties, how many ambitious pretc osions at
home and abroad, how great and now well;
founded the dissatisfaction of our American
settlements, which have already been called
upon to take a share in the present govern i
mant! What would, then perhaps become i
of our Cortes, of onr freedom ; and of the
fair prospects of future happiness a..ri glory
at present held out to us? What *»f the ob
ject most sacred and most valuable to the
Spaniah nation, the preservation of Fen i
Hand’s rights? Th* partizai .of this insti
tution must have shuddered at the imniin» n'
dinger to which they exposed them, nut! re
ilected, that, with it, they offered to the ty
rant a fresh opportunity of buying or selling
them. Dot, us, therefore, bow, with ' res
pect, before the venerable antiquity of the
law—but let the experience of ages render
us cautious. I.et us open the annals of the
country, and go through the history of nr
Regencies—what shall we find ? The me
lancholy and horrid picture of civil war, dc
vastation, depredation and human degrada
lion in w retched Castile.
rso douhf in great s’atcs. power is better
exercised by a few than bv mntiy bunds —
Secrecy in deliberation, unity of plans, acii
vity in the prosecution of measures, and rr
lerity in the execution, are indispensable
requisites for the happy issue of the acts of
government, and peculiar to a t ncentrated
authority. And accordingly, the Stpieme
I Board has just concentered its own wkn
such pi udent circumspection, as neither to
expose tne State to the oscillations cause
quent upon every change of government,
nor sensibly to alter the unity of the Body
in which it is vested. A Committee com
posed of six members liable to be removed,
shall, henceforth, have the requisite autho
rity to interfere and conduct those operations
[of the Executive power, which, hr theirna
ture, demand celerity, secrecy and energy.
Another opinion corn raw to :he Regency,
is likewise against any innnvasinn whatever
in the present political form of the State,
and reject the Cortes which have bven an
nounced hs an incomplete representation if
thty be held agreeably to the ancient prnc
tice, as unseasonable, and perhaps danger
ous under the. present circumstances, in
.sho t, as useless, it being S'15.posed, that the
Superior Boards, immediately created by the
people. ..re their true representatives.
But the board had expressly told the na
tion that, upon this important subject, they
would first turn their thoughts to the num
ber and rank of the Deputies to that august
assembly, and to the manner in which ’hey
should meet under the existing circumstan
ces; and, after «uch a declaration, it is quite
superfluous, not to say ill natured, to appre
hend, lest the future Cortes should b* reduc ed
to the narrow and exclusive hum of our
ancient Cortes*
^ es, Spaniards, you shall have vonr Cortes,
and the national representation in them shall
be as complete and sufficient as it should
and can be in an assembly of such high im
portaheo and such an exalted dignity You
shall have Cortes ; and you shall have them
immediately ; because imperiously required
by the very critical circumstances in which
the nation is placed. And at what time.
Great Goil! should this means lie resorted
to rather than at present ? when a prottar
ted war lias exhausted every ordinary re
t source ; when tne selfishness of some and the
ambition of others weaken and ctog'heJic
tion of government by their opposition 01
indifference; when it is attempted to
sap the very foundation of the esseniial prin
ciple of monarchy, which is unity ; when
the hydra ot federalism so happily silenced
last year, by the Creation .>f tlie Central
- |#i tw icai venom hr
head, and aims at hurrying ns into a s'me
of anarchy ; when a crafty ciu-my is watch
mg the moment our division sh ill break on
to set about the work of our destruction, an*
raise his throne iijHin the disgrac tul bast
afforded by our debates. This, this is the
time to unite, upon one point, the national
strength and i» ajesty, and for the Spanish
Nation to vote and decree, through tfie or
gan of her Representatives, the extram-di
nary means which a powerful nation always
possesses in herse’f to effect her salvation
She alone can find and make uve of them ;
spur on the* timidity of some and check tin
ambition of others—silence the importunate
vanity, puerile pretensions, and mad pas
sions, which, if not restrained, arc going tn
rend the state tn pieces; in short, give to
Europe a fresh proof of her religion, circum
spection and sdmn, in the proper and mo
derate use Wii.cn she will make of that va
luable liberty winch is conferred up'-.n fu-r.
Thus the Supreme Hoard, which, from
the first, acknowledged thin national Rep
resen ition as a right, and he-hi it cut as a
reward, now invokes anti implores it as the
most potent and most necessary remedy;
Wherefore it has revolved, that the General
Cortes of the Monarchy, announced on the
1st o- January next, toentcr upon the exer
cise of their august functions on the 1st o'
I the following month of March. That ^>r
tunatc day arrive '* the Hoard will say to the
Representatives o; the Nation :
" You are now met, Father. of Hi'- f>tin
try, and restored to the fulness of yarn4
rights, three a^t-s after despotism and aihi
trnrine*1* had dissaved vow* a«jfmiilv, tor |
the purpose of setting open upon this nation
ail the floodgate* of misery and servitude.

of the Supreme B-'ird, the sov-r ,:gn luii'.n.

“Called to the rxrerr’.se of this power, not

bava expressed the’;.- sense of such tl ittcring
confidence by their nnx*<vtH cares ami exer

to the preservation and welfare ot the state.1
Judge of the greatness of our eff>r»s by the
enormity of the evils which preceded them.
Wtien we were emrusted r i h the supreme

produced other results than tlu battle of (J.

sometimes unsuccessfu'ly and at other times
with success, but always wi»h gallantry aod
glory. I nc creation, re organization and
maintenance of these arr ies have mc>rc
than absorbed the considerable remittances
made by our Brethren in America. In the
provinces unsubdued, we have maintained
union, order and justice ; anil, to those which
