I.III'O.IITANT SPAIVISCI DOCUMENTS.

PROCLAMATION OF THE SUPREME lUNTA :;
SEVILLE.

Seville could not resist the impulse of her heroic
loyalty, of which she has set the example in all ages.
The King, to whom. we all swore mllegianie with
emotions of joy, unprecedented In history, has,been
decoyed from rts ; the fundamental laws of our Mo--
narchy are trampled under foot ; our property, our
customs, our wives—all which the Nation holds most
dearis threatened with imminent dancer. Our holy
Religion, our only hope, is doomed- to perdition,
or will be reduced to mere external appearances,
without Support and Without. proteetion. And
all • this is done by a. Foreign Power, 'not by
dint of arms, but by deceit and treachery, by
taking advantage' of our good nature, and by con-
'vertiog the very persons Who call diemselves the
Heads of our Government, into instruments of those
atrocious acts ; persons who, either froin the base-
ness of their sentiments, from sharnefut fear, 'or
perhaps from other motives, time,or justice
will unfold, le.'sitate not to saerifice their country.
It therefore became necessary to break the \hackles
which prevented the Spanish , from displaying that
generous ardour-Which intall ages has covered them
with glory ; that noble courage with which they
have always defended 'the honour of the Nation,
their Laws, their Monarchs, and thOir
Thti people of Seville joined accordingly the 27th
May.; and, through the medium of all their Magis-
trata, of all their constituted Authorities, perfectly
united, and of the most reSpeaable individuals of
every rank and description. This Supreme Council
of Government was formed, invested with all ner ,
cessary powerS, and charged to defend the country,
the religion, the laws, and the King. We accept
the heroic trust ; IN4 swear to discharge it, and
reckon on the strength and energy of the whole na-
tion. We have again proclaiMed Don FERDINAND
VII. our King, again we swore allegiance • to, him,
swore to die in his defence--dud this was the signal
of happiness and union, and will prove ,s 6 to all
Spain. •
A Council of Government had scarce been formed
when it violated the most sacred laws of the realm.
A President appointed without any authority whpt-
ever, and ,who, had he had any lawfsl title, hastened
to forfeit it. In addition to his being a foreigner,
which was a legal objection to his promotion, he
aaed with the utmost duplicity, and co-operated 10c
the destruCtion of the very Monarchy from .whom
he received his anpoint (neat, and of the laws which
alone could sanction his 'authority. Under .these
circumstances we could not restraur our loyalty, and
Much less could wevielate the sacred engagements
A.Ve had before contraCted, as Spaniards, as
Sublease as
,Christians, as Freenien, independent
from all foreign authority and power.
Nor could the authority of the first Tribunal of
the Nation, the Coiincif of Castile, check or controul
our exertions. The weakness of that Council be-
came obVious from the wavering add 'contradictory
proceedings it adopted in the most momentous tun'
most critical situation in 'which the nation ever bath
been placed, and in which the Council should have
displayed that heroic firmness with which numberleSs
motives and its own honour compelled it to fiat The
Order tamely to submit to, and circulate and obey the
Act of Abdication in, favour of alareign Prince, was
.the consonamation of its weakness, perhaps of its in-
famy,, for that Act was evidently void and illegal from
want 'of authority in him who Made it, because the
Monarchy was not his own, nor was Spaili composed
of animals subject to the absolute coutroul of their
fllers.: his accession to the throne was founded on
his Royal descent, according to his own confession,
and, on the fundamental laws of the realm, which
invariably regulate the hereditaiy succession, and
with regard to which the Council is not invested
with any other' power than the sacrtd duty to en-
force their observance. It is void on account of the.
state of violence and oppression in which it was
-made, and which is far more evident than the abdi-
cation itself ; it is void, because tlye published Act of
Abdication of King FER DIN AND VII. and of his uncle
and brother, was in.ide in the same 'state of vio-
lence and compulsion, as is expressly declared; in
tile very Aet of Audication ; it is void, because ivany.
Royal Personages, possessed of the right to claim
the Cro wit, have not,rehnquished that clajw, but
preserve it entire.- Add to this the horrid treachery
which tots been employed to sacrifice and degrade
the Spanish Nation'. It is to our alliance, and our
sacrifices, that the French are indebted for what
they call their trillmphs : France withdrew our
Not troops from thew native land, 'and sent them to
the most distant countries ; she made them fight for
her interests, without hating any occasion fort hem,
for the obvious purpose.of weakening Os; and de-
. spoiling us of our strength. Her armies afterwards
entered Spain, under: continual professions of an
anxious desire to promote your prosperity, 'and
under the pretext of cooperating in expeditions
against an enemy, of whom no tart her mention is
made. The people, by a generous effort, pre-
vented the departure of...their King, a measure
which .tlO. French should have hailed witlt shouts of
joy; but far from su doing, they kept a profound
silence with regard to that departure, and what is
still more, converted it into a motive to oppress ifs.
France affected to perceive Ativi,ions in the nation
which did not exist, the Spanish nation having never
been inure unitesl in the loVeanddefence of its king.
The latter was decoyed into the French territory by
deceit tut insinuations and professions ; with it degree
of generdsity; of which perhaps there does not exist.
a precedent, the King with implicit reliance en
thOsiev.iio professions, threw himself into the arms
of the Freuch, who with the basest treachery, un-
precedented in the annals of civilied nations, wade
huh their prisoo.tr, treated him itra manner the most
disrespectful) and foreed him to the deeds of llor:oy

(PRI:-E SIXPENCE•

hicb all Europe has witnessed with. astonishment,
::.nd every Spaniard with indignation grief. In
a manner et ally deceitful they invited the Royal
Parents to their country, and compelled them 'to un-
just and illegal ads ; aas which must hand down
their memory to the latest posterity branded with
disgrace; they also dragged away the rest of the Roy-
al Personages, to whom their tender age would have
proVed an inviolable shield even among -the most
barbarous. nations.
The French Ruler summoned the Spanish Nation
before him ; he. chose such Deputies as best suited
hispUrpose ; in.a despotic manner of eledion of other
Deputies, appointed to deliberate in a foreign coun-
try on the most sacred interests of the Nation,while
he publicly declared a private and respedful letter,
written to him by FeRDINAND the Seventh, at the
time when he-was Prince of Astunt4s, a criminal
performance, injurious to the right of Sovereignty.,
although the same foreigner, who now atfeds to dm-
siderit as an -offence; perhaps induced him to write it.
It is indeed a heinous offence, it is rebellion, when
an independent Nation submiti to the controul of a
loreigh Prince, and discusses in his presence and un-
der his deciSiim, its most sacred rights and public
~v.eltaie; and neither Seville, nor any Spaniard, will
lower himself to a degree of disloyalty and meanness
which could induce him to a rebellion so atrocious,
that even slaves would scorn to disgrace theinselves
by deeds of intamy like this.
He his resorted to. many other indecorous means
to deceive,us. He has distributed seditious libels to
corrupt the public ()Onion, in which, under the
strongest professions of respell for the laws, and,
for religion, he insults both, leaves no means un-
tried, however infamous they May be, to bend our
necks 'under an iron yoke, and make us his slaVes.
He carries his audacity and deceit the length of as-
suring the public, in one of his libellous publica-
‘tions„ that the Supreme Pontiff and Vicar of Jesui
Christ approves and santuions his proceedings, while
it is notorious, that in sight of all Europe he has
despoiled him of hii dominions, and forced him to
dismiss his Cardinal, in order to prevent him from
direCting and .governing the whole .Church in the
manner sanctioned by our Godly Saviour Jesus
• Christ. -

Spaniards, every consideration Calls onus to unite
and frusti-ate.views so atrocious. No revolution ex-
ists in Spain; nor did we declare war' against any
PoWer ; ,our sole ()hied is to defend what we hold
most sacred, against him; who, under the cloak of
alliance and friendship, intended to wrest it from us,
and- who, we have .reason to fear, will despoil us,
without fighting, °lour Laws, our Mona.tchs, and
our Religion. Let us, therefore, sacrifice every thing
to a c:iuse so just, and if we are to lose our all, let us
lose it fighting, and as generous men.
'Join me, tberetbre, all,; the people are ready to
take up arms; let us ctimmit to,the wisest among.us
in all the,provinees of Spain, the•important trust to
preserve the 'public opinion, and refute those insolent
hbels replete with the most atrocious falsehoods.
Let every one combat in his'way and let even the
Church of Spain incessantly implore the assistance
of the God of Hosts, whose protthion. is secured to
us by the evident justice of our cause.
And what do you fear ? There is' not in- Spain
the number of the Enemy's troops which they pro-
claim in order to intimidate us. Those who occupy
part of our country are composed of different
.na-
tions, dragged into service, and who anxiously de-
sire' to break iheirchains. The positions they have
taken are eitadly those in -which they can be con-
quered and deteated in the easiest manner. They
are besideS weak and dismayed, because the con-
sciousness of guilt makes a coward of the bravest
man.!

• All Europe Will applaud. our efforts, and hasten
to our assistance,. Italy, Germany, and the whole
North, Which suffer under the despotism of the
French nation, will eagerly avail themselves of the
favourable opportunity held out to them ',by Spain,
16' shake off their yoke and recover their Liberty,
their Laws, their'Monarehs, and all they have been
robbed of by that nation. France herself will hasten
to erase the stain of infamy which must cover the
tools and instruments of deeds most treacherous and
heinous. She will not shed her bhiOd in so vile a
(=Sp. She has already suffered too much under
the idle pretext of a peace and happiness,- which ne-
ver came, and can never be attained tint under the
empire of reason, peace, religion, and laws, and in
a State where' the` rights of other nations are re-
spected and observed.
Spaniards, your 'native country, your property,
your laws, your liberty, your Kings, your religion,
nay your hopes in a better world, wfiich that religion
can alone devise to you and your descendants, are-at
stake, exposed to great and imminent danger.
