You have been informed that many 110141,4 hove been Irately ar-
rested at Vieh, in cons(1111(11.1. Of false ietin-m at ion. The Governor,
who then pc.-sided in that city, one of the principal in Catalon a.
having been a few days since appointed to another situation, M.
Campo Saz:sdo, CaptailoGenernl, thought proper to name as his
successor Geoerid Dumont, who it was generally supposed would
he anxious to hare the evil proceedings of his predecessor buried in
oblivion. It now appears that M. Dumont has not justified the
good opinion formed of hi. 1. His conduct has but served to give
a more full scope to vengeance, and has produced the greatest el k-
turhance in the district over which he rresides. The proclamation
which he has published at a moment when the people ate in a state
of extreme agitation, seems less for the purpose of conciliating the
public than of authorising, all descriptions of caress against those
distinguished by the name of Negros. We arc informed that the
Captain-General, on perusing this philippic, has expressed the
greatest anger against the author. The following passages will
give some idea of the spirit in which the document is cemeeived :
" 1 do not fear to address you with frankness ; you are Catalo-
nians, and brave ; and your Governor, who is also a Catalonian.
ha: no fears, and will never abandon you. Know, then, that in
Spain there are but two parties, Royalist or Liberal. Catholic or
Heretic. The one is composed of honest and uprictld men ; the
other of vile and lawless robbers ; between these estrenies there
can be no medium. indifference or neutrality are unpardonable
crimes in the eyes of the Kir.g and the country. We have need of
resolute men ; resolve, then, upon being ready to take up arms to
efli.et the destructiun of these cruel (memos.

royal person and if e peace of the kingdom—if he promises to you
his motection--ean he lind amongst you a single individual hostile
to his wishes? Is not every individual amongst you interested in
the accomplishment of these wishes. as they must of necessity be
for his own ralvantage. The corps of volunteer Royalists are
intended to pursue the malefactors, and watch the Constitution.
alists with incessant vigilance; to observe their meetings, develope
their designs. pur.ish their audacity; and they will carry these
es measur into etreet without being eliliseed to leave their homes:
but our King also declares that these sacred bodies must consist ex.
elusively of Royalists and tried Catholics--qualities of wl:ich every
Liberal, the enemy alike of the Altar and the Throne, is utterly
destitute. Destruction, then, to all Freemasons and t'ommuneros,
to all militia volunteers, to all chaise urn of the provinces, called
" Passaiers," to all those who have held any employment under
the Liberal Government—in a word, to all Ciminituttonalists, of
whatever class they may be composed. The King decrees it. the
safety of the country requires it. and consequently you wish it."

emigration. The intention of the Iloverrment is to prevent pro-
