On the 4th inst. Senor Don Arias de Moo, sl
provisional • Goternor of the Council of Castile,
communicated to the Supreme Junta that Machod
was free from the oppression of the French, and
after. having meuerked the loyalty and fidelity sf
the Council, considering she difficult circumstances
in which it was placed, in not having consented to
swear obadidenee to Joseph, Napoleon, he con-
added by requesting the Junta to ;pp riot Dept.
ties, who, with others from the rest of tile kingdom,
might form a Council to laboor for the welfare of
Spain. The Council of Castile has in this only
followed the reconsimadations of all the provinces
who have for some time wished for a Supreme
Junta, uniting in itseif ell power, and which, being
composed of wise men, deserving the public coati-
deuce, may put the last hand to the noble work
which hie. been begun; may be a terror to evil-
goers; and an impenetrable defeueeagainst the vile
arms of the enemy, seduction, intrigue, awl subor-
nation. Florida Blanca, Saavedra, Jove Lbiacs,
Valdes, and so many other• brave soldiers and true
politicians, with which :;pain abounds, Heaven has
preserved your lives for the safety of your country.
