It is important tousake4he Spaniards
•tvieessary for the government of their country, and a part of
their system, eta established by themselves—it follows, as a.
matter pf equal neoessitv, that the powers and prerogatives
I'l4pm:4loAm King in Ilse system, should be such as to enable
him 6d perform lite duties, anal such as,-in reason, a King ought
to he esti:died with.
• If aloe situation of the iCing is nut 'Oath ought to be—if he
has not the power to protect himself, and those employed touter
Lire, io peiformance of their duty in the stoke of the

powor'allotted to hire by law is sullioient ; the country will
never be in a state of tranquillity, he the system of govern.
suent what it maw.
There woe,-be perpetual, -successive, Royalist limarrestissa
in one part of the country or the other; sad the IC Mg midi&
:Covernment will be the objects of never nesting jealousy end
distrust.
Thus, then, those Spaniards :who really desire the peace and
welfare of their coisotry, meat look to an alteration of their '
tonatitotion, _which skill have for its object, to give the King
the power of eeeerning his aim I oonfesathlit Ido not see
any objection to this alteration.
The Spaniards meat see that all the sources of-the prnaperity
of their country ere nearly 'destroyed ; and that the very foun-
dations of social order and government ore in a mste of risk.
There is no tratir, an private or public eves:nue, the national
property cannot be sold :.the interest of the sal' I debt can-
not be paid ; nor can the army, or env of the Welk" *errant&

timony of the purity ct the Constitutional spirit, and
of the patriotism of the greater part of the nation,
as well as of the spirit and firmness with which the
representatives answered to the confidence of their
constituents.
" Yes, Gentlemen, J owe it to the nation, to its
worthy representatives', end to the whole world, the
just and consolatory deslaration that the great ma.;
jority of the kingdom Is faithful to the oath which
it took to the Constitution, and every Portuguese,

The French army will not cross the Ebro until

iA report of the capture of Pempeluna was this
day circulated ; Government has teretted nb cAtial
notification of this circumstance. The fallowing is
the probable origin of this rumour :—The garrison
being informed that a 'division of the French army
'Was rnatehirrgun Pampeluna, retired into thecitedel

shouts of " Vive Ferdinand!"
The Duke of Belltitio has resumed the Portfolio

An evening ministerial paper cites a letter front
Tolosa, according to whit* the French army has
been received in that town io the midst of general
enthusiasm and the most trirlient filureinetion. It
is said in this letter that St. Sebastian may hold oat
