give to the monarchy is sworn to by me and by you likewise.
By this solemn act you have fully performed the work with
which you had been charged by the national confidence; and
Spaniards are relieved from the doubtful and uneasy position
in which every State finds itself when passing from one poli-
tical system to another of a different nature.
This transition is ever perilous and arduous. Our common
enemies believing already that we should not be able to over-
come these difficulties, chanted triumph in their invincible opi-
nions beforehand, and prophesied to us a shameful dissolution
into the meat absolute anarchy. Foolish hopes, which are
vanishing into smoke by the ever undeniable sensibility of the
Spanish people, and by the steediness of your prudent conduct,
Gentlemen Deputies I
In proceeding to the reform of the political law of Cadiz,
you have neither listened to the presumptuous suggestions of
the spirit of privilesze, nor attended to the ill-secured il-
lusions of a pernicious popularity. Thus the said code
has naturally, and without any violence, received the forms
and conditions it still wanted, and which belong to every
monarchichal representative Government. By the sanc-
tion of the laws, and the faculty of calling together and dis-
solving the Cortes, you have given to the Royal power all the
force it requires to maintain order, and leaving for the re-
mainder the executive action of the Government unshackled,
you restrain abuses which this faculty could be employed in,
by imposing upon it the obligation of at least once a year cone-
yoking the Cortes. By dividing the legislative body into two
different sections, you do it at least with the greatest dignity
and circumspection in its deliberations, and their success be-
comes therefore the more probable in its results, and gives
public opinion all the influence possible in the election of the
legislators, and opens a wider field to the expression and ne-
cessities of the nation in the tribune of Parliament. With
the firmness and zeal of posing these principles the economical
arrangements in the rest of the affairs worthily correspond. I
have told you, gentlemen, at the opening of the Cortes, that
nothing was proposed or counselled to you by me as Queen,
and that I did not ask any thing of you as a mother, because,
confident in your wisdom and generosity, I hoped every thing
from you. Your wisdom and generosity have gone far beyond
my fondest hopes, and exceeded my most anxious desires.
Faithful to the principle I then proposed to myself, my first
care was, that the Constitutional Reform should bear the im-
press of the national will. As my Government has abstained
as much as possible from taking any part in your debates.
whether in preparatory labours of Reform, or in subsequent
deliberations, occasionally only, and to illustrate some points,
have you heard its voice ; but the decision has always remained
free, and been completely 3 ours.
I have thought it necessary, nevertbeless, to show you
sometimes my assent to the dispositions you were making, and
this manifestation of my Ministers I have repeated, and repeat
now with the greatest pleasure. Here, before you, and in the
face of Heaven and earth, I declare afresh my spontaneous
adhesion, free and entire acceptation, of the political institu-
tions I have just sworn to in the name and presence of my
august daughter, whom you hare before you, and whose senti-
ments I hope will never differ from mine.

The Queen of Spain, though of so tender an age, ought
to assist at this solemn act, reason beginning already to ra-
diate in her, and so noble and grand a spectacle will impress
itself with some vivacity on her tender fancy in proportion as
her innocence and graces add interest and give, if possible,
a greater force to our reciprocal oaths. Placed in the midst
of the national representatives, surrounded and defended by
Spanish loyalty, she is as if she was in the presence of her
people proclaimed on the ancient shield of the kings her
forefathers.

Let her accustom herself to live among you, to hear your
counsels, to enter into your good, and to further it with all
her soul : she is the heiress Heaven has granted to the wishes
of all Spaniards ; she is the child of liberty, educated un-
der the shade of its protecting laws. Let her first senti-
ment be to venerate them, her principal duty to fulfil them,
and her incessant desire to defend them.
There being established thus the most perfect union between
the nation and the Throne, the fundamental law of the Spa-
nish monarchy, there remains no motive for uncertainty, no
pretext for disunion. As a flag of peace and concord let this
law serve all Spaniards henceforward as the insignia and guide
to the prosperity to which they aspire, and which they so
justly deserve; and, seeing it wave over the Throne of the
Queen, which they defend with so much heroism, let them
consider the Throne as the cement of liberty and independence
and as the firmest pillar of glory and prosperity.
Finally, Gentlemen Deputies, your loyalty and wisdom have
not only shone in the disposition relative to the constitution of
the State, but also in everything else you proposed for the
conservation of the State. Acknowledging the salutary sup-
port you considerately give my Government, I cannot omit
expressing my warmest gratitude, hoping that you will conti-
nue the same with that zeal and prudence which have marked
your conduct heretofore. No doubt our circumstances are
difficult, but whilst this happy concert subsists between the
Cortes and Crown, neither the agitation of passions, nor the
opposition of opinions and interests, nor the vicissitudes of for-
tune itself, can prevail against you; and, with the help of the
Omnipotent, Spain will triumph and save herself.
M. ARGUELLES, President of the Cortes, made
an eloquent speech in answer to her MAJESTY, in
the name and on behalf of the National Representa-
tives. He congratulated her on the triumph of a
cause to which she had ever shown herself the sincere
friend, and assured her that she had raised fot herself
an imperishable monument of gratitude in the hearts
of the Spanish people. A salute of twenty-one guns
proclaimed the cone!usion of this most important pro-
ceeding, and the QUEEN returned to the Palace, at-
tended by a crowd of Deputies, upon whom her ur-
banity, cheerfulness, and enthusiasm had made the
most favourable impression. Though outrages the
most atrocious had been predicted, none whatever
took place, up to the late hour in thn afternoon at
which the courier left Madrid. On the contrary, the
citizens were in high glee—all dressed in their holiday
garb, and looking as pleased as if they wanted only
the Constitution, to make them the happiest people in
the world.

Brussels rind German Papers have been received.
On the 14th instant his Majesty the King of SWEDEN
and NORWAY entertained the Earl and Countess of
DURHAM at dinner. The Noble Earl and family re-
ceived a second invitation to dine with the KING on
the 16th and 17th. Mr. BLIG If, the English Am-
bassador, was one of his MAJESTY'S guests on this
occasion.

A Hamburg Paper of the 21st, has the following:—
" Yesterday morning an officer of the Prussian Post-office
at Berlin, who arrived here about eight o'clock with a false
passport, intending- to go to England, and who had in his
possession between sixty and seventy thousand rix-dollars,
partly in gold, partly in Treasury bonds ( Cassen. Anwcisent-
gen), stolen from the eoffiers of the Pust-office, was arrested
by the vigilance of our police, and conveyed to prison ; in
which he had hardly been lodged, when the officers sent in
pursuit of him arrived here."

Advices from Vienna of the 16th state that the
EMPEROR is quite recovered from his recent illness.
Prince METTERNICH has received a pressinfz invita-
tion from the King of BAVARIA to visit Munich in
the course of the summer. A conference, on the sub-
ject of Greece is likely to be the object of his Bavarian
Majesty's solicitude to become the host of the Austrian
diplomatist. -
