Spin, and the, State Councils de-
ciaring war .against France, and the. GovernoF of the

Ii.OOLANI AT! Q N
InNabitants of the Island of Cuba, worthy Sons
of the generous Spanish
.nation !
I hasten to make kaown to yOu that I have this
day received several Niimilestoes and Proclamations,
peblished and printed. by_ order of the Supreme
Board of 'Government which has assembled and es-
tablished itself at Seville, in consequence of rin act
. of perfidy, most io.famOlS ever witnessed by any:
preceding century—:papers, whiCa, as you will soon
be convinced, do not appear to have been dictated
by men but by. angels---s-papers, finally, which must
necessarily produce the vindication of SpaM, hither-
to played with:and Sacrificed, 'audit he 'liberty of all
Europe, which was enslaved by the same hand that
has afiliaed our brethren. It 'appears from tlae
papers, ad I am certified by persons the most .wor-
thy of credit,, who have been eyeawitoes,:es of the
atrocious and horrible excesses committed in our
Mother Country
-in the months ;of April and May,
that the .Freech Government, assmning the false
charaeter of friend and ally, seduced Ferdinand
VII. ' the best and most virtuous of. Kings, by
.abusing his geoerosify'and good faint, to draw •liim
into its territories, under captious and insidious ere-
.tences, and similar felonious artifices initeced his
August Ytrent, and the -whole of the Royal Family,
to follow hint, for the purpose of treating then; as
it has done, with the utmost contempt ami %no:-
miny ; and consummating lastly its horaMle projeei.s,
by compelling them to renounce the crown of Sp.an
in aavonr of en odious stranger, without any (niter
pretensions than en insatiable ambition; at the same.
whetahis eXecutioners and assassins spilt the,
glorious blood of ahe inhabitants of Jgadrid, In re-
turn fcir the brotherly hospitality with
.which: they ,
were rec rued.. and cherished, as their own Chiefs
have publicly ,acknowledged. Our la.nuage doe 3
not contain an expressioa adequate to characterize a
conduct so horrible, which has stamped;l
opprobrium and M ainly, and all Europe 'with mourn-
ing, and carried fear and ,terror to the Most nisch-
sible and barbarous _nations. Do not imagine, how-.
ever, that the honour; the greatness of charaater,
and majestic dignity of Spain should l)ave been dis-
mayed at the sight of so much confusion and, afilice
five calamity:. Far from it ; the virtuous andanag-
paniotous suns of the country of heroism are deter-
mined to fight until-the last of her, awelve millions
of inhabitants shall gloriously fall, to avenge so.hu-
miliating an outrage, their prostituted religion, their.
violiaed wives, and their murdered-sons; and 16 res-
cue their adored. Ferdinand from captivity. So it :is,
do not doubt it. T4eS5 will make the authors of so
much iniquity tremble, and exterminate them.—
They are animated by ant holaarage,, capable of break-
ing asunder the links of the chaitaby which ali the
nations of Europe are kept under oppression; they
have taken such- measures as would have done
honour to a Fabius, a Paulus Einilins, .or a Scipio.
They have conc:ude'd an armistice with ,Great, Bri-
tain; Great Britain, dear and consoling nahle to
mankind, to which henceforward stiould beeadded,
that of "shield, of suffering humanity for:. the
same just reason for -whiclOpain should assume
the title of ‘!,Deliverer of world.'! They aot ,in
concert with the virtuous. and magaaninaous Britons;
-for- although.they were but lately our 10e5,4,! whom
is it unknown that it proceeded only from the t
hence and-maehiaaalisru of the French Guyertimeot?
-Do not accuse .me, on perceiving this assertions not
to be conformable to that very contrary one made by
me, in the Proclamation of the 27th of January last;
.-for,:besidaa that almost every Government .lahoara
under certain systematical vices, and from. thence
commits some at:ts of injustice, whereby it renders a-
self liable to be inveighed against, and pariicularly
.when in a.state of war, it became a duty of my sta-
tion to frame my languageaccoruing to that of my
superiors, in whose mune I offiCiated, and in which
fnanner I a& on the present occasion ; yet with this
`difference,, that my heart with just indiguatioo beats
in unison, and my blood boils with. anxiety to be
shed for our Religion, our King, tand our country.
.Be you fully persuaded, -and confidently .trust, that
the other nations whose hearths and whose fields, re-
main covered with the yet reeking innocent blood
of the flower of their youth, which was shed in con-
sequence of the most incomprehensible success had
by the genius of desolation, having united 'with
Spain and Great Britain; will return from the panic
dismay into which they were thrown, and gaining
new courage to cast off the yoke, they will assist at
the first and most noble work of humanity, with the
same fury as shewn by a lioness when in pursuit to
recover her whelps.. The- Frenchmen themselves,
.tliat illustrious and generous nation, Worthy of a
better fate, will be eager to. wash of f the bleak shots
with which by their own hands they haw reatioed
their renown. Commiserate them, andd6'not look
upon.- them with odium and hatred, for they are our
brethren, and will soon be our friends. The Di-
, vine Creator of men, the arbiter of the fate of na-
tions, is interested in this holy and exalted work,
and we must not doubt of his protedion. I see
you full of ardent anxiety to fly to participate in its
performance; but a distance of two thousand
leagues unfortunately deprives you of that glorious
and sunreme felicity ; yet this is of little importance.;
The funds and sums of money for public expect-
Ct.ure are not less necessary than personal service;
and you have it in your power thus to participate,
bir means of an offering more salutary to mankind,
and more grateful to the eyes of the Deity than any
that was ever made in the Holy Temple. Imitate
the heroism of Spain ; lessen your gxpences ; re-
nounce your superfluities.; establish a Spartan eCU.,
nomy ; let not an ounce of gold and silver remain
upon your soil but that which is dedicated to the
most religiou3 sacrifices. Have you less virtue and
le3s generosity than the Romans, when the viaurious
Hannibal marched towards Rome ? Are you more
attached tojour property, and have you less disin-
teresiedness than those heathens who knew not toe
true God ? Have you less respea for your holy
von, less loyalty, and less love for youtectaintiy, your

'customs, your laws, au your Government ?
you less cherish yOur wives- andtendar infants
.on entertain t.ess horrot.'&l9ranny *ftrild slaVery,
with which you ale threateneA by the -coniiuon
enemy a 4 soon as he shall have subjugated vont-
brethren, which heaVen forbid ! Would Cron prefer
keeping riches entire in order that the booty
nil). be so roach more agreeable and acceptable to
ht's avarice, rather than sacrifice apart of :them to:,
• such. nOleobjeets, and save the reMainder at so litt4;
cost, preserve from danger your mother country;tl
and rescue from captivity your liege king, wlio.
mounted the throne after-the most eminent proofs of
his virtue and heroism, which he has• given by his
readiness to mount the scaffold under the enormous
infamy of passing for a regicide and parricide, with
a view and for the purpose only of rendering you
happy, by producing the dismissal of a perfidious
traitor and despotic favourite ? Pardon me if I of.-
tend Your •delicacy, your generosity, your
proved loyalty; and your holy ambition of true
glory. My imagination,- disconcerted by such fatal
suppositions, scarcely permits me to -articufte the
words, and much less enables_ me to 'presume their
witch. lam convinced that you will do much more
than that which I demand. I well know your vir•
toes, and you are not ignorant how high I estimate
them, and which are the sentiments of my heart as
regards you and everyone among you. Yes, this is
the:epocha at '.which America and her illustrious
sons, fired b; the noble blood ot.Spain, which runs -
throngh t heir veins, will develope the greatness- of
their souls, and acquire as much glory as was lately
acquired by the heroic inhabit' its of Buenos Ayres,
=twill so much' more brilliant, as moral virtues ex-
beed the sanguinary triumphs of Mars. The bene-
-fits: which you will produce on this occasion, 'will
be common •to 'all Spaniards, to -all the nations of
Europe and to yourselves ; but the sweet pleasure '
of having-their blessings, wnich will resound in sue-
ceeding generations, be the peculiar' reward of
your own beneficence, the higliest.reward thatcan
be bestowed -by Man ; a reward infinitely prefer-
-able to 1,1-eguiVocaldistinctions and titles granted by
Princes, not always to virtue, but-often times to vice
and corruption.

I ha=ten to issue this Proclamation, that you'
: may at once be. acquainted with the great objet
which must occupy the attention and am-a& th'd
heart of every Spaniard, indeed, of every friend to-
man: pit'at the same time, I do ino;,t- earnestly re-
commend to you a firm reliance in Wine' Provi-
dence; which provides a remedy for every evil in
virtue, fortitude, and magnanimity, at ho periOd
Wo,re requisite than on this occasion ; displayingt
prudence, moderation, and docility, that you mag
restrain the anxiety of. your temper ; avoid all riot
and disorder, and refrain from of any insialt or
vexation Co the . peaceful, laborious,- and useful
Frenchmen; the cultivators 'of our soil, and' our
friends, who, ;,bhorring the scenes daily 'presented to
their view ;by the. most sanguinary and Most-dis-

history, sought for and met in your circle the, sacred

TUE COMMANDANT GENEyw....OI\joINE.,
«--Soldiers and Mariners ! The Provinces of Spain
have united for the purpose of asserting the rights crf
their Sovereign, and treeing themselves hom the op-
pression of the Tyrant of Europe. Their reasons are
as public as they are just ; their Proclamations as
well as the Manifestoes of the Tyrant himself, detail
them . Fronta This day !.orward We will .fight and
shed our blocld to the last drop, for the liberty
.of
our Sovercio, and that of our mother-country,'lih
the defence. of our religion and of our honour. In
a cause so visibly just. what may not be achieved by
thosewho have hitherto spontaneously bled for
nour in blind obedience to 4heir Sovereigns and their
Representatives, as chara 'cteristic of the Spanish Na-
tion .? Spain swears not to lay down her arms until
her Sovereign sh;ill be tree, and the outragesogainst
the nation .be avenged. We will also swear it ; and
in the event; which must not and canbot he .expeCt-
ed, that every Spaniard should, fall, in the mother.
country, yet Spain will not cease to,exist. This is.
Spain ; we. are Spaniards, like'themselves, Ancl here
Ferdinand VII. and his successors. will reign. The
inhabitants of this Island•cannOt peknit us to enter-
tain a doubt on the subject ; the.mthusiastn •with'
which they.have proclaimed him, warrant us in this
conclusion ; let us assist them therefore in preery-
ing this precious territory for our .Sovereign, if the
Tyrant should attempt to invade it. Let us !suite
our efforts to succour our mother country although,
we at present are deprived of the honour of defend-,
in it'; yet let us not forget that the Frenchmen in-
habiting this Island are not subjects of Napoleon I. ;
they are not of the number of those who have vilely
• ..
submitted to dishonour their country by serving as
mercenary assassins to a foreigner ; but with abhor-
rence of the excesses they had seen counnitteclimot
wishingto live under his iron yoke, they have coml
to live under the mild and pacific Government of
Spain."
