A.DORESS TO THE PEOPLE OF MAD RID.

PEOPLE OE MADRlD.—Sevillq has learned With
consternation and surprise your dreadful catastrophe
of the second of May ; the weakness of a Govern-
rne'nt, which did nothing in our favoor; which or-
dered anus to be .diretted against you, and your
hetoie sacrifices. Blessed be' ye, and your memory
ball sh ne immortal in the annals of our natiqn. •
She has seen with horror, that' the authors cf all
Jour misfortunes, and of our's, has published a Pro-
arnatio , in which he distorted every lail, aud
ended that you gave the first provocation, while
`was he who provoked you. The Qovernuient
Ilms weak enough to sandion and order that Pro--
tin:nation to be circulated, and saw, with perfect.

NOBLE CAiTILIANS,---Tlle COMMMI foe of man-
kind was the traitor who tore from our bosom our
amiable FEEDINAsn VIII and the whole lioyAl Fa-
Mily. ''He,carries his atidacuy the length of holding
on. to us °tiers of happiness and peace, while he is
laying waste our country; pulling down our churches,
and slaughtering our brethren. His pride, cherish-
ed by a set of villains who are constantly anxious io
otfer incense at hisSintine, and tolerated by number-
less victims, who pine in his chtins, have caused hire
to ccndeive the fantastical idea tit pioclaithing
self Lord and Ruler of the world.' . There is no atro-
city which he does not commit to attain that end.—
The respettable name of the great Emperor oflus-
SIA ; the political dissimulation of the German Em-
peror ; the timorous condescension of the Holy
Father of the Church ; the opinion of true French-
men, exposed more than others trl the severity of .
their.iron Sceptre; in short, the most sacred taws-of
humanity have been trampled under foot with the
utmost contempt, to pronounce the detestable sen- <
tence ofthe extirpation of the House of B6UKBON:.
Shall all these °turves, all these iniquities,retnaiu uu
punished, whip Sp,iniArds, and Castilian Spaniards,
yet exist ? NQ, it cannot be. Your minds glowing
with generous ardour for your_ religion and yea
country, have resolved to renew the heroic scenes,
in which Castilian valour shone with immortal,
lustre, saved the Country, and consolidated our Re-
ligion. The stratagems which hitherto.secutied ic-
tories to the Tyrant, vanished the moment when
• Europe saw with her own eyes the artful snares and
devices by which he seduced the unwary until he
had bent their neck under his yok.l. Let us shed
the lasrdrop to resist that dominion. Let us all be-
come gallant soldiers, full of discipline and subordi-
nation. Let' us breathe but obedience and respe6.l •
for the great man by Whom we are governed, one of
thC best Generals of SpaitiOis Excellency lluv il G 4-
