MAOIIIII4, DICSMIIIgt 10.
Yesterday iee the sitting of the Cortes was eesd
t'.e Report of the Committee appointed to consider
a the steps proper so be taken in consequence of
I ;* %1 jest) is Menage to the Cortes.
The Committee state that they have carefully ex.
awined all the -documents laid before thesis. have
heard in several different sittings the Secre-
taries of Slate and the Deputies of the Province of
sod have front all these sources of informa-
tion down up a euterative of the events in question.
They commence with the affairs of Cadiz, the ap.
poilonsent by his Majesty of the Marquis de la
Reunion to the Government of that city, the fees
seentition caused by this notnitiatiote the petitions
of the iiihnhitaors to appoint another person, and
the refusal of the Nlarquis to accept the office, Which
venriered it annereseary for the King is revoke his
and his Miejessy's nomination of the Boron
er Alden». The Committee then detail all the cir.
eirenstiences of the disobedience of the people of
Cadiz to his Majesty's orders, in refusing to suffer
'lie Baron d'A riddle to assume the Government of
l'est coy.
Tire Report then details the proceedings at
S r lle, which immediately followed those of Cadiz,
pod were precisely of the same where. The Com.
ore limits its Report to the affairs of Cadiz and
S. sill., they being the only ones referred in the
cwioneeciication of the Government to the Cortes,
d regret that they cannot give a less afflicting
testier of them. They observe that the question
is wholly distinct from the merits or demerits of the
Ministers, and involves only the disobedience of the
',yid authority. the Majusty has the coostitutioual
i.ower of filling all civil and military employments,
and every Spaniard ought to respect it, though he
i•hei has the right to censure the conduct of the
Alinister, who atehorises an improper measure, or
;ecipe him if he violates the laws.
It is true, public offices ought only to be given
to those who have given positive proofs of their
attaduiteat to the political constitution of the mo-
narchy, and nobody can be more persuaded of this
than the Members of the Committee; but from
the documents laid before them, it is evident that
no objection whatever was made to the Marquis
rl'Andilla by the people of Cadiz. or to Don
Tomas Moreno Davis and Don Joaquim Alvista by
those of Seville.
The Committee find that there is more excuse
for the people of Cadiz than for those of Seville, the
latter not hating awy grounds of complaint what.
ver, but only wishing to retain Don Manuel Ye-
lairo, and Dou RAMO Luis de Escovedo. So that
these two permos here been more regarded than the
respect due to the Government—the tranquillity of
a whole province snore than the reputation of the
Spuiiiard. among foreign iiutions—more Om) the
constitution nod the sacred empire of tidee laws;
whereas the people of Cadiz has some motive of
elissatisfactiun at least, though none that could
moliorise the mode of conduct which. they adopted.
The Cum ttttt tee. therefore, dons not confound
the event. at Cadiz with those; at Seville, in the
latter of which it council help .recognising a certain
character of faction; whereas., in those of Cadiz, it
is persuaded that the whule lies proceeded from an
error. from se excessive, ardour, and a distrust,
cannot be 'who'.l, condemned in those who
hive liberty. and !twee suffered much for it; the
trot in some points, and the aberration of some
I.ersons in others, are not such that the Committee
uiributes them to their will, and they cannot but
merit the indulgence of the Comics. But the na-
tional Congress cannot but expressly disapprove, in
the face of all Europe. the disobedience and ille-
gsh proceedings of those authorities, which will
conibttess suffice to make them return to their duty,
acknowledging that they have erred.
The Cortes may be pleased to examine, in the
first phase, this point. and übove all let the observ-
ance of the Constitution, and obedience to the Royal
authority inOtunformity with it, be sacred. These
two things are inveparable ; the quinine° is not of
the Ministers, but of the Government, and of the
power which the constitution amigos to the King.
The Ministers may be culpable; but the Govern-
tura and authority of the King, when they remain
within the conetitutional limits, ought to be sacred to
all. What would become of liberty if the laws did not
govern, and how shall they govern if it is lawful to
disobey him who is charged to execute them, when
fie does not act contrary to them Under pretence
of rupportieg the Const.tutiou, it has been scanda-
lously violated at Cosh: sod Seville. by creatieg,
ander the title of Juntas. authorities uokuowo to
die Constitution, attacking prerogatives which the
Constitution cobsecrates, and resisting orders
which the same Constitution commands to he
obeyed. illegitimate organs elect themselves into
iiiierpreters of the public opinion, and usurp the
functions of all the powers of the State. Weukures
and irreflecuon have yielded to their impulse, cud
fur the first time have been precipitated into dis-
uhedieece. The Cortes may fear that these evil.



will increase unless th.y are stopped at their
origin.
For these reasons, the Committee, though it
thinks other senores advisable in our present si.
Illation, proposes them to the Cortes in the second
part of this Report, which it presents, sealed, inti-
mating that in its opinion the dignity of the
Throne, the decorum of the Cortes, the welfare of
the nation, and the cause of liberty, imperiously re.
quire that no debate be opened till in a future
Session, distinct from that in which they communi.
cate to the Government the Resolution which the
Cortes may take on this first part, and confining
itself at present to the Message of the King and
the exposition of his Ministers, is of opinion •• That
the Congress mike a solemn declaration by means
of another expiration to his Majesty, conceived in
the terms which it now presents separately, as a part
of this Report."
M. Calatrava then read the minute or the ex-
position iu question, the substance of which is as
follows :—.

" The Cortes having taken in►o con•iJeration
the fleport of the Committee appointed to consider
Itii Majesty's Message. will declare their opinion to
his Majesty with the frankness becoming the lawful
interpreters of the general will. If it were possible
to look oo the faults of the constituted authorities
in the same light as those of mere citizens. the
Cotes would he happy to throw over the conduct
of the Political Chief and Commanclants.General

of Cadiz and Seville, the veil with which • pater-
nal Government should sometimes hide errors pro-
duced by aberrations of opinion or by an exulta-
tion proceeding, perhaps, from a I sud.tble *eel:
But as most fetal consequeucee to the nation and
liberty would ensue from authorising public rune.
tionaries to seek in such pretexts an excuse fur their
errors, the Cortes will always reprobate • doctrine
under cover of which the greatest criminality ma 1
be justified, as well as an imprudence or a mist ,lee,
and which would endanger in • terrible mani r the
obedience which, in • constitutional State all the
citizens owe to the Government, while:.t does not
depart in its measures from the line ot" .ed by the
law.

'I The Cortes are fully eou6nrjed that the observ-
ance of these irriaciples most read to a total dissolu-
tion of society. and that &moms, pretext be alleg-
ed to authorise it, the ebytis of calamities which
would be opened woe
.id be no less profound, and
could not be clamed by the tardy repentance of those
who, after recogni sing their crier, should pretend to
sok their defe•
.rce or exculpate their insubordino•
lion by auPP' sing they had been obliged to yield to
insults /del ~sari/, instead of obeying only the
voice of th,eir duty and of reason.
44 But. the Political Chief and Commandants-Ge.
Herat r f Cadiz and Seville hove not only failed, but
have' even by their conduct contributed to legiti-
Mr le, if it were possible, the malicious assertions
by which the favourers of despotism endeavour to
()eery liberal ivatitutionr, and persuade that they
are incompatible with order.
" The Cortea cannot but express to his Majesty
and the nation how highly they disapprove of these
events, and believing on the one hand that the dia.
obedience of the authorities of Cadiz sod Seville
arose principally from error, and on the other, that
the loyally and puiriotirru by which the citizens
are so distinguished, cannot render the triumph of
the law and of order doubtful for u moment, have
resolved, first, solemnly to declare, that both the one
and the other ought to have obeyed, and ought
now to obey and punctually to fulfil the measures
of his Majesty, which have not been carried into
effect, the Cortes being sure that this resolution
will be sufficient for those authorities, and all whom
their example has misled, to return to their duty
without placing the national repreventation in the
afflicting necessity of adopting other measures."

The Address concludes with as.urances of the
determisiatiou of the Cortes to unite with his Ma-
jesty in maintaining the Constitut.on.
A debate arose on the point %halter the second
pert of the Report, which was presented sealed,
should now be opened and read, and it was at
length decided by 114 votes to 64, that it should
not. The lime zed for the duration of the sitting
bring expired, it was resolved to prolong it for one
hour, and Martinez de la Rosa wished to have the
sitting declared permanent, thinking the debate on
this important subject ought DO( to be delayed ; it
was, however, decided that the Report of the Com-
, artifice should be laid on the table for the inform-
' non of the Member., uud it should be discussed the
following due.
By the accounts from Cadiz the yellow fever at
Rut St. Mary's, Xeres, and Lebrija, remains
pretty newly in the seine state.—(lUudrid Papers,
