name; with a l'ientiputenttary of the Court of Madrid. Cato
they not now present to him, in common, ohio rvai ions, the
summary of which folluns, amid %kit+ would recut to the
Spanish Government the embluet, as a ell as the politic:ll
principles, of the Allied Monarch'?
" The ;Monarchs," would say the five Ministers " have
never ceased to entertain ss kites fur the prosperity of
Spain. They will always entertain them. They have
desired that, its Europe, as in America, institutions con.
formable to the progress of civilization, and to the wants
of die age, might prorate to all Spaniards long years of
peace and happiness. '1 hey desire the came at this mo-
ment. They have wished that all these institutions should
become ie real blessing, by the legal meaner in which they
should be inti minced. They now wish the same.
"'This last considetation will convey to the Ministers
of his Catholic Majesty, with what sentiments of affliction
and grief they base trained the es ents of the Silt of March
and those which preceded it. Areuriliag to their opinion
the salvation of ::palm, as well as the welfare of Europe,
will rerpoime that this crime should be disavowed, this
stain effaced, this bail example terminated. The honour
of such a reiteration appears to depend upon the Cortes.
Let them deplore, and forcibly reprobate, the means
employed to establish a new mode of GOWIri 1111 l eau in their
colintry, aud in consolidating an ad stration wisely
coustittitional, let them adopt the must rigorous laws
against sedition and revolt.
" Then, and wily then, the Allied Cabinets will be able
to maintain friendly and amicab!c relations with Spain.'
These observations, urged in common by the Represen-
tatives of the five Courts, would, from thenceforth, de-
monstrate to the Spanish hlinistry the conduct which the
Allied Governments would observe, in case the cense-
(incomes of the kith of March should perpetuate, in Spain,
trouble and anarchy. If these salutary councils be listen-
ed to; if the Curies offer to their Xing, iu the name of
the nation, a pledge of obedience, if they succeed iu
establishing, upon durable basis, the tranquillity of Swett',
and the pence of Southern America, the evolution will
have been defeated, at the very moment when it thought
to obtain a tri 1111 l ph.
It; on the contrary, alarms, perhaps too reasonable, be
realised, at least the five Courts will have discharged a
sacred duty; at least a new occurrence will have deve-
loped the principles, indicated the object, and displayed
the scope of the European alliance.
The Emperor awaits the answer of the Cortes of Vienna,
Loudon, Berlin, and Paris, to the coon 111111 l ications which
his Ministers have addressed to him on this subjeci. He
informs them, that the present Memorial is the instruction
which be has caused to be despatched to all his ministers
on the subject of the affairs of Spain.
