he was waited upon-and compliniented by the Civil
and Ecclesiastical Authorities, and by the. Students
of the celebrated College in that towtt
. He also_ received a Deputation from the town of
St. Andero, consisting of six persons, who' ratitica
06 oath of fidelity already taken, by their tow,n,
and solicited forgiveness of their error. His .11/fa-
jesty received each of them with the
.greatest
friendship, and wa§ .engaged to 'busineis with his
Ministers until nine in the evening, when he went
ta supper.
On the following day the King continued hitt
journey. to Vittoria. On the boundaries of Gui-
pascoa the Deputation horn that province took leave
of his. Majesty., who found the DepbtatiOn of Alara
on their own territory. He also received the Ma-

respecting the state of their respedive distrias.
When about three leagues frdm the city, he re-
ceived some dispatches by a Courier : he stopped,
read the dispatches, and, answered them without
alighting from his carriage. During this interval, a
detachment of the African regiment of infantry was
introduced to him, which was so resolutely bent on
accompanying his Majesty, though repeatedly told
• that, being on foot, it was impossible to keep up
with the carriage, that it went on for three., long
leagues, and never stopped until his Majesty at-lived
at tie apartments prepared for him. At his en-
trance into the city,.all the troops were under arms,
and the houses were hung with carpets. The firing
of artillery, the ringing of bells, and,the concourse of
thia inhabitants front all quariers,, all contributed to
distinguish this event. The day. before, his Majesty
was proclaimed Kingof Spain and the Indies, in this
city, being the capital of that province.
At the distance of 'a league from Vittoria, his
Majesty received a Special Deputation from that
city, which came to congratulate Will upon his en-
tering their territory. On his arrival in that place,
he received a deputation from the province, the Civil
and Spiritual Authorities, and all the individuals of

Grder io be introaticeit to him.

place, and ins Majesty was pleased to participate iu
the festivity..

nisrers, his Majesty ~,iiended mass in the Collegiate
Church. He was received at the entrance by the

nopy, which Wa, placed near the grand altar. On

deuce to %ii• the Deputies front the adjacent towns
and villages, as well as those who were introduced

confided to me, I Seel it my duty .to explain -the'sen-
timents which I entertain. •
" In ascending toe 'Lamle, I rely upon finding
among you some generous souls who will second
tny 01bl-is to restore this people to
.the possession Of
their ancient splendour. The Constitution, to the
observance of wing) you are about to pledge your-
selves by your oaths, secures the exercise of our
Holy Religion, and of civil and political freedom.
It establishes aiSlational Representation, and restores
your ancient Cortes in an ameliorated fOrm. It ap-
points'a Senate, forming a guarantee of individual
liberty, and the support of the Throne, in critical
circumstances, and constituting also an honourable
asYhtm and reward to those who shall have perform-
ed signal services to the State,-
" The Courts of Justice, the Interpretors of the
Laws, divested of passion and favour, shall, in
pronouncing judgment, be impartial, free, and in-
dependent.
" Merit and virtue shall be the only claims to the
holding of public ottices.
" Uniess I any disappointed in my-- wishes, your,
•agriculture and commerce shall flourish,
,tree from
thOse restraints which have hitherto retarded their
• prosperity.

_
Dmrous of ruling according to the lam, I shall
be the first to give en example of the honour which
should be paid to them.
1 enier among you with the greatest confidence,
surrounded with those mcritorlous individuals, who

hal* concealed from .me nothing which they hare
th,dight oecessary for your interests.

" thind passion,. false. rumours, thiptrignes of.
the couniion enemy of the Continent, anxious only,
to separate the ladies from Spain, have plunged
some of you into the most dreadful state of anarchy.
My heart bleeds_ at the view of it ; but this evil,
however considerable it way be, may instantaneous-
ly cease.

" Spaniards, only unitearound my throne: Con-
duct youselves so as that internal disturbances shall
not deprive me of that ticAe which I wish, to employ
in labouring for your happiness, nor deprive me of
the means of accomplishing that object. I esteem
yon enough to peasuade myself that you will make
every exertion to obtain and inerit .that happiness,
w!.tich i 3 the• dearest objet of my wishes.
