PRCYCLANIATIONI OF SE 7I LLE.

" FRENCHMEN !--Ye have neither laVis;
or any.blessiog of human life. You have been.. com-
pelled to enslaVe Europe, pouring out your blood,
and that of your children, for tbis (lest ruelive pur-
pose. The family which domineers over you is not
French; and it reigns over various nations without
conferring glory or benefit on France, or on any
people over which it presides. Spain was your per-
petual friend and ally, sand on a thousand occasions
has contributed to your immortal triumphs. Your
ancient laws have been abrogated, your grandeur de-
graded, and even your holy religion is threatened.
You do not now fzht as you were accustomed to
do, as all brave men do in the field of- danger; "but
your weapons are dceit and perfidy, with which
you, are called upon to co-operate, disgracing your
robust form and-manly deportment. Such are the
steps by which you are to be concluded to infamy,
by, which you are to resist the generosity of your
nature, and by which you. are to resign the august
distindiott of the Great Nation,- which you had
justly acquired.
" Ftenchnien ! the Spanish People, yohr allies
and friends, invite you to abandon those companions
in arms :vhi) would enslave mankind, and to unite
with those engaged in the. most sacred cause—in
the defence of oar Ljws, Of our King.. of whcmn we
have been depriVed, not by force or arms, but by
falsehood and perfidy, and by the most flagrant in-
gratitude. We are all ready to die •in this cause ;
and you ought to be willing to make the same sa-
crifice, to wipe away the stain that would defile the
fair.face of th‘ country if you persevete rn opposing
us. The Spaniards offer to you the rewards due to
your repentance; they will receive you with open
arms, they will fight by your Side, and when the
War shall be brought to a happy and honourable
termination, they will bestow upon you lands, by
the produce of which you may pass your lives
tranquilly in the bosom of their country, whose' in-
habitants love and respect you, with whom in the
practice of justice you may enjoy all the comforts of
existence.

" Italian 3, Germans, Poles, Switzers, and otht:rs,
to whatever nation you belong, comprising w hat are
falsely denominated French armies, you are fighting
for him who has oppressed you, who has despoil-
ed you of whatever you held to most dear and
sacred to you. You are shedding your blood for
him who has violently (given you from your fire-
sides, your properly, your wives, your children, and
from your country, which he has enslaved. With
whom are you contendiug ? You are making war
against the generous Spaniards, who received you
'with such confidence and hospitality, who love you
tenderly, and who, in the dap of your glory and in-
dependence, has ever. respected your rii;hts, for they

contemplated ;X the. nationt
,of the
_earth as, t;ie
.brethren: and do you fight against such a n'S,trout
to conquer and enslave it, not, by force of artn,,,4 -
the brave encounter their enemies, but you approach
us bridei the. mask of alliance and friendship, wijh
tricking and intrigue the most nefarious and atter
minable, of which the• annals of history afford do
example, not even the traditions of the most bar!•
barous chins; we will not believe it 'of you ; come
amongst us, and you will find courage; liberality,
and honour. We offer to you the same rewards as
to the French in your Tabks, and we trust, that you
,and your progeny will, in tile bosom of our court'.
try, repose in peace.
