In the general impatience to know the situation
of the cause pentlisig at Cadiz respecting the Inas-
sante of the 10th of Mitrch. we think that our
readers will be interested b) the following commu-
nication
" lu order to satisfy the general Impatience to see the
conelosi ... of the process which his Majesty on the 21st of
March last ordered to he iustitoteit respecting the events -
which took place at Cadiz on the Mb and Ilth of the same
month, 1 requested the Government to give to the publin •
orifice of the progress mode iu tt, and Isis Majesty assenting
to my proposal, and authorising me for this effect,
hasten to state, that tiuirigh the instraction is only in a
sntn-
mary form, it however affords all the light urceasary to guide
with certainty ourjorigment un those unhappy events, fixing
Opinion On the causes which produced them, and nu the cha-
racter of the persons who figured nn a very different way in
that scene of blued and desolation, which is worthy of eter-
oat remembrance. Strictly following the match prescribed
by the laws, witch regulate the order of proceeding—kin.
violable laws which are the only safeguard of liberty—placing
myself above the influence of the passions, and listen.•
lug only to the voice of justice-1 hare laboured in-
cessantly to reach the end 4.f toy important corn missi 111 l ,
Hut fur the same reason it hes been my duty to hear all
those who voluntarily came forward to make ileclarrairm.—
to examiline all thole who 1 might hope would reveal the
mysterirs of iniquity, which deluged Cadiz with blood and
tears on the 10iti of March; Tool, am the whir hand, it was
just to have interior:tell all the actors in that lamentable
catostioplic, in which the mindere of the executioners was
moch greater than that of the•victims.
It is easy to conceive the number of declarations that have
been inarle, and doubtless with a decree of advantage pro-
portioned to the pones. The ile4fruction is non approaching
to its end, and ;lie process is in such a state, that the momeiit
is,llot far off when Judges worthy of the public confidence
will pronounce sentence.
It is nut permitted to anticipate their judgment, nor does
the circumspection Rimier to my legal character allow me
to denulatice the cruel au: hors of the misfortunes at Cadiz,
it being very easy to confound the delusion of opiuiotta with
malice, error, with crimes, iouprodeoce with deceit, and
weakness with perversity_ 1 remind the public that delay
in judicial proceedings is a tribute which is due to justice,
■ud as it were the price at which the security of the eitig.n
is purchased; that.the jadieial forms, sue the shield of
liberty, and precipitation the must dangeroui rock iu the
way of joclice ; wherefore I Wm' them to depend on my
zeal. sod on the rectitude of the Gave' unmet to which are
cosefideri the protection of their tight'. and the punishment
of
crimes.
