The effects have hitherto most happily ebi-
responded with the designs of those who to rued
them. The provinces'have-armed themselves ;.some
have formed large armies of veteran troops, and have
united to them the:enlisted peasants;- all, or nearly
an, have fought and are fighting against the French
in behalf of their King, FERDINANb VII with a
valour and a constancy of which neither Greece, nor
Rome, nor any other nation of the world, Lad any
idea. The French. are really amazed and terrified,
and the hopes of conquering them are as sure as hu-
man certainty can. reach.
" The only:thing 'which can impair or f?ustrate
them, is discord, and the want of union among the
-provinces themselVes. 'Hence the 'Suprtpfe JUntA'
paid its first attention to remove that danger, with
which view it tainted and publish, d Official Pa-
per, entitled Precautions, which it communicated in
every possible manner to all the provinces el Spain.
Time banging this plan to perfedion, and carrying it
into compl: to xeetrion, 13 now wore than ever tie-
cessary Our enemies are anxi,•u, to foMent our di-
visions. Human passions, personal interests ill-an.-
deistood, the ignorance, the weAness, the blind-
ries of men, may, perhaps, without their knowing
it, assist the evil designs of our enemies, and thus
destroy a beginning so glorious, and facilitate and
consummate the entire ruin of Spain. • This it is that
we are endeavouring to guard against, urged only by
the most• sacred motives, by our honour, by our
loyalty as affeaionate subjeas, by our duty as Spa-
niards,- by our faith as-Christians; and here we pro=
test before God and man, whose aid we invoke with
all fervency, • that we will write nothing but what is
diElated to us by the love of our country, the pre-.
servation of our King, and of out rights, not
mingling-with it any thing that appears to partake
of passion,- of interest, or of any other personal
motive ; but being always ready to hear the opinions
of the other provinces, and to amend our own,
errors, wherever it shall be shewn that we have
committed any. _ _

" Be it the chief care to-avoid every thing which
is, not absolutely necessary, and which may-serve to
sow the-seeds of disunion in the provinces, and to
excite divisions among them 5 and of this nature we
esteem all conversations about the Royal House, and
•of-the order of succession in different families which
-derive a right from it. There is no person so ignorant
of the history-of-Spain, and of the Manner in which
the Throne has been occupied, As not to know the
changes which have taken pine in the succession.—
'lt is also known what are the Legislative 'proceed-
ings upon this point ; what the milliner in which
endeavours were used to introduce an alteration info
~them; the different pretexts for this alteration ; and,
the eiirt*,settient which was made by the
Cortes of -ing, -and, which ought in future to be
the rule. ••'. • -

fc But are we in a situation to talk of these Mat-
ters ?. Long live.o.ur King and indisputable Sovereign
Ferdinand VII. and long - live his august br,:thers)
and heirs of the Crown, after his attested decease.
Why then anticipate those enquiries which Can only
be necessary in default of these ? This anticipation
may.produce, by the diversity of opinions w Inch it
creates,,a cruel disunion, which, of itself alone, Will
utterly ruin the only aim and- object w Mich Spain at
present .bas in view., and that is-, its own entire -and
independent preservation for its Sovereign Lord wand
:King Ferdinand VII. and his undisputed successors;
and, with its. King, the preservation of, its own Tights
and laws, and the unity of the Holy Roman Catho-
lic Apostolical religion, which it has gloriously pro-
fessed and defended tor so many ages. It is there-
fore, both abstird and dangerous to dispute about the
succession in cases evidently remote ; all the- provin-
• ces'Of Spain ought to confine themselves in this re-
spect -to this general e4tession--c Hereditary suc-
cession, according to the fundamental laws of the
• Monarchy.'
" Not so is 'it •W:ith The second question moved by
the various Jtintas of the kingdom, which certain:
keeps the people in,4 State of disquietude and agita-:
tion; is the continual object Of public conversation,
and nay proditce divisions. fatal to the generous de-
sign and the virtuous obligation into which we have
entered, of defending ourselves against our enemies,
• and of preserving our Country, our King, our Mo-
-garchY, our'Laws, and our Religion. • This scond
question is—is there a necessity for creating a SU-
'. preine
.Government, which may unite the sovereign
a 'authority of all the Provinces, till the restitution of
King VERDI!,4ANIS to his Tbrone? „'
;1 iris Supreme Junta declares openly, that from
the beginning to the present time it has been..per-
suaded that such a Supreme Government is .altog.e-
therliecessary, and that without it the country is is
. danger, and its enemies will find means of complex-.
• ing its ruin ; and the reasons of this deterMination
• and declaration are so-evident, and present th'eco-
' selves with such clearness to the eyes of all, that thly
cannot fail of caivincing all Who.have the least 110..
tion of pUblic affairs, or a correct insight into the
nature of man, the passions which move him, tted
the-order of Iranian arfairs in all ages.. Various SP-
prune and Military Chicts ban expressicd
their conviction of this 'truth.' .
•

‘4 A conviction of the same springs from the in-
tirsperiable necessity of a Civil Government in every
nation, whose duty it is, to attend to. the hap7;ine,s
of the kingdom, and tti.,vhich the military oi:cy
subordinate. The coufidenct; of 'the nation„;,:,
consequently, the publiciends and the capital,,
individuals, must necessarily ha„Le Govern-
ment for their support. Without it, the l'ridri,:o:y
power would, indispensably, be under the neces,i
of employing violence, With the view of acquiring
that confidence which. it never could attain, and
. getting "a command of those capitals, which it would
be equally impossible forit:tobring withw its grasp,
and thus it would ultimately destroy
.that public
prosperity and• happinesS, which ought to be. -the
sole object of every Government: L't CS no: vainly
flatter ourselves with notions of 'RonriBn Dltt-ators,
and the.other military Chiefs of tilt; :11cpub:
: they were placed undemteryw,udent restraints,
. add the duration of ttwir,A44oriv wAs limited to a
very short period. The dangers or COinOete despot-
ism and usurpation kept tclrn cotiatinuai alarm,
-and. cornnelled them to-take very rigorous pr_ocau-
fiat*, which are veryincompatible with the habhs
of modern times. Spain has derived a rt.....50u of wis-
',dont. from thehistory of past. ages-.„she .11?.5

litary Chiefs (and it is a fag mok honourable to the
Spanish nathe), havebeeti the iirst'to .embrace, with
the utmost:cordiality, a system of things as ancient
Spain as the Monarchy itself., The cx.prience of
..our time;—the confidence of the people in the Su-
Treme Juntas,--the facility and abundance with
which pecuniary resources have been placed at their
kiirsposal7—=tbe-beroic loyalty with which the Military
.ebiels and the army have acknowledged and obeyed
,them, and the happy 'issue hitherto of their Civil
Administration, and the military enterprizes which
they have . direeled, have placed in the most con-
:Th.:nous light, and established beyond ail doubt,
this fundamental truth 'and mon:essential political
„principle.

"_But who is to create this Supreme Civil •Govern=
meat Who are to comp,o,;c. it ? Where shall •be
its place of residence ? What the e-.-(ltelit of its au-
thority How shall it be established. without in-
terrupting the public -prodttcing dis-
union among the dilfertnt,provinces,% How is the
public opinii3o to .be.so :regulated as • that, without
_opposing...it; this trampillity .attained,.and
.414 risk of ,disturbance obviated ? These are,the
_portant and serious questions which we. shall now
proceed to ex'imine and upon •whichi- influenced
solely by the love.of our coun; ry, and our amdety.tO
:promote its welfare, we will enter into a.frank ex-
planation of our sentiments. . .
• " the various papers, that have beeti pub-
lished
.upon this subjea, we. are tole,. that the
Cortes should assemble ; that they should eleet• Re-
presentatives ; - and farther, that the Old Council
•cif Castile should convoke them, and the whole of
the proceeding shouid be executed. under its au-
thority .•
• ,

" Most assuredly we .do not underitand the
grounds upon which this decision rests. The Coun-
cil of Castile,.though a lawful Assembly, never.con-
yoked the Cortes, Why, then, we. give it
an authority which- it does not possess ? 'ls it be-
cause it lent the whole weight of its influence to
such important changes, with regard to which it
had no powers, nor :my authority whatever ? Is it be-
cause it ha; acted in opposition to those fundamental
laws which . it was established to preserve .and de-
fend ). Is it because it atfortied every to the
.
enemy ko.usurp the sovereignty-of. Spain, to destroy
the hereditary succession of the Crown and the Dy-
nasty legally i,i possession, and recognised and seat-
ed on the throne a tOreignt,r, -destitute cVell • of the
shadow of .a. tide to it ; .forit is. incontrovertibly
manifest that the renunciation of CRADLES IV. in
his favour, gave. hint no such claim.? What confi-
dence could the Spanish nation; plqce in a Govern-
ment. mated by .an ainhority• .and illegal,
and which had also rendered itself suspeiUd, by the
previous cotmnis.sion of ads or so hoirk*a descrip-
tion, that they may bejustlyjanked Aviththe most
atrocious crimes against the Countrk i
.The Council of Castile being thus excluded
front all consideration—who should convoke the'
Cortes ? Tice authority to convi.,ke them is a part
of the peculiar and exclusive prerogative of the King.
The Provinces would not submit to any other autho-
rity ; they would. not unite ; there would be no
Cortes,; and should a few Delegates assemble, that
very circumstance would expose the Kingdom to di-
vision—the evil which all wish to avoid.

" Besides, the Cities who have votes in the Cortes
have not undertaken the defence of the Kingdom,
nor of themselves, • nor in their corporate capacity,
have they made any effort w defend it. . We enter-

tain the tuo,it profound resped both foithen? and

their rights; but truth compels us to speak out,.

" Most undoubtedly, however, the cities who have
votes in the Cortes, id thus conducting thtanselves,
acted with consummate prudence, and with a due ob-
servance of law. The Kingdom found itself suddenly
without a King, and without a Government—a situa-
tion indeed unknown in our history and to our laws.
The people legally resumed the power of appointing
a Government ;. and tbis truth has been openly avowed
by various Supreme Juntas. The people created these
Juntas without paying any regard to the cities who
have votes in the Cortes. The legitimate poWer 'is
therefore deposited with the Supreme Juntas, and;
in virtue' of that power, they have goVerned, and clo

govern with real authority, and have been aid still
are acknowledged ..and
.obeyed by ail ranks of sub-

~. . , . .
.jest, and by all cities in their respeetive distritlS
having votes in the. Corte. Their situation:lms not
changed; the danger still exits i. no neW,rtn!t(E-ity
has supervened ; the lawful• authority ther4tore re-
sides entire, in the Juntas which- Elie' peopreiereilted,.
and to which they confided it. • •

"It. is, tneret4e, incontestable that the Supreme
Juptas have the sole and exclusi've right of eleding
tl.ose who are to comp_ose the Supreme GovernMem,
as the only means of proteaing and preserving the.
kiugdom, whose defence the people have entrusted
to' them, and ~v!;ich cannot'be accoinplisbed but by
the establi,htnent of a' Supreme Government. No-
thing is more evident than thiS truth.

".Ancl whoru shalt the Supreme Junius Q 1,61 ?
Most certainly individuals of their own body; for
they alone derive their power Troia the people; and
it is in their' constituent 'Members that the people
.3tave reposed thek.entire confidetice. Sh'oulcl
any
other persons be chosen, they would possess neither
tO confidence nor the consent of the people, and

all their aAs would he null and void ; and 'froqn ;Lis.
main of confidence, the nation would be ex ppicd ro
I in tt!stine divisions,:the fast and the greatest of Ail our,

C4Liillifie3.

Hence,--if there'be any province in which the
in;litary power has alone been retained, resultS the
ae-,o:nte necessity of constituting Supreme Juntas in
'• which the piTvie(Of the people shall reside, and by
-..vhich they may ael. Whether .tfiey.shall be con,
st it sited by the petty Cortes or env other bOdies, their
appeintment in soineform or other is indispensible,
in order to the concentration of the legitimate, power
of the peeple,..anci the establishment of a civil Go:
vernment, which shall inspire confidence into the
people, and proceed:La the choice of persons who
compose-•the Supreme GovernMent, which;
under the presenr circuthstances„ cannot balegiti
maie, unless it has its origin in the free Consent of
the people.: •
" It seams then to be indispensably necessary,
that all the Supreme Juntas, meeting on the same
should each ele& fron/-among their own mem-
bers iavo Dq)!.tties toform the Supreme Government,
end die persons so eluded should,' from that moment,
be reputed,, and aCtually be the Governors-General
of the kingdOin ; end that as such they should be
acknowledged and obeyed.
Their authority is well known, and cannot be
subject to 'any doubt.. The Supreme Junta of Va-
leivirt has ''most judiciously marked its extent and
in' the paPar which they published ott this
question,, on the t6th of .July. We shall, there,-
tore, be excused from going more at large into the
=con,irteration of it.
We will only add, that the Supreme Juntas
to be continued with all their appointments.
and insignia, and be invested with the internal Go.-
vernments of• their respective provinces, until the
&inclusion of the present state of things, but at the
same time under due. subordination to the Supreme
Government. In those Supreme Juntas resides the
legitimate powerolthose portions of the people who
have respeively created them. It is their duty to
take measures for ensuring the • happiness of their
.constituents, through the medium of a just Govern-,
men!, and vigilantly to protea and. defend the rights
of every individual among them. For this. purpose
they ought to give their instruolionS•ie their respec-
tive' Deputies, constituting the Supreme Govern-
ment; and it will be the duty.of the latter_to ob-
serve them, and to represent and support the claims
o( their provinces, as -far as may be, consistent with
the general prosperity. .•
" If there existed among •us a Royal Personage,
capable of presiding in'this Supreme Goiernment,
reasoe and Justice prescribe that he; and no other,
should be appointed 16 that office:. if there be '
no such Royal Personage, the Supreme Government
mtist eleat a President from its own body. oly-
viate every danger, hoWever the 'Presidency should
be -temporary; kind 'continue only for a fortnight; a
month, or any other term agreeable to the Supreme
Government, upon the lapse of which • periei it
should be incumbent' on them to choes" a- different
person. • . .

We have already remarked, and it is titineeei-
sary to repeat it, that the S'..ll:rotne Juntas should
&tea as Deputies. to the Supreme Goveynment such
of their Members as are most distinguished for their
talents, their seneral 1.:,(-0w,le.clge of legislation, nod
all the branches of public welfare and Government,
re.colleaidg that they are to be the dtposi:ortes of
the hopes of the kingdom. This Supreme Junta, in
Tull reliance upon the generous chattaCtor of Spa-
niards, and their ardent attachment •to Ilk good of
their Con'titry,' assures itself that intrigue, party, or
'personal interest or predilections, will , have no in-
fluence upon thisoecaiion.
"'The. Supreme Juntas will, in the first instance,
appoint the place which shalt be the seat of the Su-
preme Government, who shall afterwards adhere to
•
or alter that appointment, as they think fit, accord-
,ing to a plurality Of votes.. The seat of Govern-
ment, 33. has been most wisely .'observed by the
Supreme Junta Of Valencia) ought to be at a dis-
,tanee from -all the dangers of. war, and should,'"
as a 'clairn to preference; possess ether 0
'advan-
tanes of local nature. Seville. conceives 'herself to
•
possess all these advantages, but has no anxiety to be
selected.; for she ill:most cordially sacrifice all her
-claims to'what theother Supreme Juntas shall decide
to be for the general prosperity of the kingdom.—
The Supreme Juntas will, therefore, make known
their • pleasure as to this point, when
~they, notify
the election of their Deputies.: 14.1. the 'Mean time,
we will frankly state that La Mancha appears to ns
most convenient for the Seat of
.•Government, and
there we would•particularly ;Juno its large cities of
Ciudad Real, or AlMagro. But on this .subjea we
• are nowise anxious ice leave it entirely ni the free
choice of the Supreme Juutas. . •
" It remains only that we speak:of this Supreme
Junta of Seville, upon which pOint, we Shall 'not say
much. Certain persons, eitlwr ignorant •or malevo-
lent, have endeavoured to,spread the persuasion that,:
-we at-etled a superiority over the• other provinces.
'Any such thought has been far from us,
.although
-the general good of the nation has beep our guide,
-and- as. it were the soul of all our determinations.
We pos=sstAi-tke on_ly foundery lot cannon' in the
kingdom, and armsand ammunition-. in a-. certttin
degree of abundance. Various Captains General
acknowledge us frcim
.the commencement, and
veteran, pi-clops were more nutheraus in .air' Pro-
yince than in other parts; 'and thus we fo'rmecl an
army in a shorter time, .and have harassed the
enemy, who have surrendered prisoners of war, with
their General, DuroNT, and have capitirlatedior thd
divisions of VEDEL and GOBERT, who are to be con-
duaed to France, amounting, altogether, to 17,000
.men, so that there does not remain a siugle.,French
soldier in arms in the Andalu-sias ; a victory' most
glorious and singular,which has been rlle6iell!withont
the -effusion of much Spanish blood, in which it
appears we stand alone.
" The local situation of the Andalusias presents
also, a more probable mode of defence against the
arms of NAPOLiON, if he means to.attack-tts.;:>aud,
with this view, we hliVe united :us the.„..e,Oftli-
gifese provinces ot. AlOrve and Alentejo, who ttve
placed thernst:•lv,:s. under our proteerii.nry and die.:
Canary Isles have sent us a deputy for vibe
purpose.
• i` The greater opulence and other peculiar circum-
stances of these provinces oti-iers resources which •the •
rest want; and we have thus been effa'oled to
provision for immense.enence; without having re-
ceiyed any money from any otherpart, or imposed'
any contributions,

. " -The marine arsenal of the Isle of Lcop„iperbaps
the most considerable of all; obeyed us from,theli?"-
and with it, the Spanish squatlriiit ort' Ca-
whose foive is the greatest, and hen sincati

" Gibraltar, the famous English fortress, is foi
our territory;
squa-
drons of that nation kept, our coast in a stare of block-
ade. We immediately, therefore, opened a coni7
munication with Gibraltar, and with the English
Squadron, 'which has 'given us all the-assistance that

"The A.theriefs claimed ttt i..3‘Z.first a great share
