Circular A dims of the Council of Castile.
Most Failhtul Spaniards !
You have, tor twenty ve.irs tngither, obeyed with
unexceptionable loyalty, the august monarch ol
Spain, evrr tre.dingin thp steps ol your forefathers ;
you li ive made suitable r. turns to his paternal love,
and shared the just concei 11 which the council ex
pressed to his majesty respet ting l is abdication, on
the day following that on which it took plat e. If
nr published his successor’s accession to the throne,
it was merely to comply with Ins supreme coin
m inds. We would have long continued submissive
aiv. faithful to his majesty, if we had understood that
his abdication anti itsignalinn ol the crown was not
accompanied with the requisite spontaneous free
dom.
Ever since Charles IV. made it known that this
abdication had been forced from him, and that hr
deemed himself fulls entitled to resume the crown,
the board of government, the council of Castile, and
the whole nation, have been anxiously waiting for
toe derision of a question of such high importance;
aud the council have e.xamin dw.th the greatest at
tention, the documents upon which the powerful
umpire'who has been appointed for that purpose,
has grounded ins dt termination. The most impot
tant of these are subjoined her.- ; and, in the ..pinion
formed by the conn-il they have the certainty that
they have not deviated I mm that which the august
party hims-if would have adopt..i, ii less complicat
ed circumstances had not opposed that concert. It
is undoubtedly unfortunate that the union of the Fa
thers of Ins people has not yet taken place; hut this
misfortune will prove less ui tress.ng to their beni ti
rent hearts, ns the result of the late < vents holds out
flattering hopes for the future, and the nation will
shortly he enabled to proceed, with steady steps, in
the career of her happiness and prosperin'.
These hopes begin to be realized, since the kino
bus appointed, to supply hi-, place in the gov: rnment
of these kingdoms, it prince who, without any other
interest than that of Spain, ulr-adv evinced bv hi;
beneficent and unremitted exertions at the head of
his army, devotes himself with eagerness and the
most suitable means, to whatever is conducive to
her glory and felicity.
The board of government, winch shares all the
sentiments of the council, has viewed the crisis ol
the preceding events in the same light, end con-'i
ders the determination adopted by the wisdom nt the
tribunal, and to which itsubscril.es without restric
tion, as the fulfilment of the irrevocable decrees of
Providence, which never forsakes a religions peo
ple, attached to their sov"reign and to the laws bv
which they are governed.
The principal documents quoted, and which the
cntincd had taken into consideration at the meeting
held on the 6th instant, in the presence of their ex
cellencies marqtvs Cahellero, don Feo Gil, and G.m

PRO 11M' OF CIIARLF-S IV.
“ Dearest brother—On the lt);h of last month,
I put into the hands of my son a decree of abdicati
on. On the very same day I entered a solemn pro
testagainst the decree which had been issued in the
midst of wild commotions, and forced front me I.v
the critical circumstances of that period. Now that
tranquility is restored ; that my protest is in Ihe
hands of my august friend and faithful ally the em
peror of the Fiench, king of Italy, and it is notori
ous, that my son could not induce his imperial and
royal majesty to acknowledge him in that capacity.
I solemnly declare that the deed of abdication which
I subscribed on the l^th of last month, is null and
void in all its palls ; and therefore it is inv will that
you should make it known to all mv subjects, that
their good king who loves them, wishes to dedicate
the remainder of his life to the unremitted exertions
for their happiness. I provisionally confirm id
their situations, the members of the present hoard nl
government, and all the eivil and military officers
who have been appointed ever since the lf)th ol
March last, I intend to go and meet my august
ally, the emperor of the French, king of Italy; alter
which I will send further orders to the board.—

ol Spain that a prim e who lias married a princess
ol the royal tain;Iv, & who lias so long governed the

you should one day be unfortunate. The people

the malevolent, and the enemies of the peace of the
