MANIFESTO OF THE PROVISIONAL
GOVERNMENT.
MADRID, Ocr. 26.

The expected manifesto of the Provisional
Government to the nation was issued to-day.
After detailing the events which led to the esta-
blishment of the present administration it says :
" The revolution has decreed universal suffrage as
the evident and palpable demonstration of the
sovereignty of the people. Having proclaimed
the fundamental principles of our future regime,
which arc based upon the most complete liberty,
and have been recognised by all the juntas,
the Provisional Government is about to bring
together in one single body the teachings of these
manifestations of the public mind. The most
important of all the essential modifications which
have been introduced into the organisation of
Spain is the establishment of religious liberty."
The manifesto insists upon the necessity of this
reform, demonstrating that it will not injure the
catholic church, but on the contrary fortify it by
the opposition it will encounter. It also states
that the government hastened to proclaim liberty
of printing, without which the triumphs of the
revolution would remain vain and illusory for-
mulas, and liberty of public meeting and peaceful
associations, which are the constant sources of
activity and progress, adding that these reforms
are recognized as the fundamental dogmas of the
revolution. Spain would be able to advance with
a sure step in the path of progress when these
measures should come into operation, and when
administrative centralization—an instrument of
corruption and tyranny--should cease to weigh
upon the country. The concluding portion of the
manifesto proclaims decentralization and the es-
tablishment of public liberties as essential, and
states that the colonies will enjoy the benefits of
the revolution on the strong bases of freedom and
credit. It continues thus :—" Spain can quietly
nroceed to finally choose a form of government.
Without pretending to prejudice such serious
and complicated questions, the Provisional Go-
vernment notices as very significant the silence
maintained by the juntas respecting monarchical
institutions. Yet eloquent and authoritative
voices have been raised in defence of the republi-
can system. But however important may have
been the opinions they have expressed, they are
not so important as the universal reserve of the
juntas on this: delicate question. Nevertheless, if
the Provisional Government be mistaken, if the
popular decision should be against a monarchy,
the Provisional Government will respect the will
of the national sovereignty." In conclusion, the
manifesto appeals to the country to maintain
order, and to have confidence in the government,
which will is nder an account of its administration
to the Cortes.
