, .Since the arrival
of the last vessel from Cadiz,
rnging advices ofthe late events which have occurred
°,llt Mother Country, relative to the abdication
the Crown, executed by our beloved Monarch,
I;I4ARLEs IV. and his son, FERDINAND VII. and the
141"al of the whole of the Royal Family to France,
c°Nider you as anxious to fix your opinion upon
',latter in which your loyalty is so deeply interest-
This anxiety must have been greatly increased
the arrival of the French Agent, who brought
:er various dispatches for this Supreme Govern-
"l• The clamours of the unthinking have re-
sleed your accredited enthusiasm to a state of irre-
uti°n• The not immediately declaring to you
th
ele object of his mission, may, perhaps, have appear-
• wi t.° You a want of confidence very contrary to that
h
itc'
Place in you, and which your patriotism has
m.oeri.ted.
But whilst you were employed in idle
tst nie°°res, the Fathers of the Country, your Magi- •
Jites, and the Chief who has repeatedly condud-
"(l to glorious triumphs, were incessantly occu-
pied in
Charaodevising the best means for maintaining your
er,interest and tranquillity.
FP° in an examination of the contents of all the
Frenchdispatches' it appears, that the Emperor of the
Itllit. has been compelled to recognize the abso-
also Independence of the Spanish Monarchy, and
retaith,at of all its trans-marine possessions, without
'bin dismembering the minutest portion of
Its do .g
our Minions; and to maintain the unity of religion,
the frnperties, laws, and usages, which guarantee
fa;luture prosperity of the nation •; and though the
cd-,131. the Monarchy was not entirely decided, the
utt-es were summoned to meet at Bayonne on the
and' °f June last, whither the Deputies of cities,
to ti °tiler Persons of rank in Spain, were repairing,
le,„h'inther of one hundred and fifty.
ins'l4 Imperial and Royal Majesty, after applaud-
tiiai triumphs and constancy, exhorts you to
ntain with energy the high, opinion which you
➢0 have ac o quired by your valour and loyalty, offering
and at the same time succours of every description ;
the I have not hesitated, to assure him in reply, that
ell fidelity of
this city to its lawful Sovereign is the
sli:itiat„,..er Which chiefly distinguishes it, and that I
Thankfully admit every description of aid, con-
lutitn.a. of arms, ammunition, and Spanish troops.,
tribui4les so calamitous, nothing can so much con-
sentite t
3 Your security as union and coincidence of
liaDr)"ellt on a point so interesting to the -public
to rimer. Let us imitate the example of our ances-
aSt.;n:ttuis happy land, who wisely escaped the dis-
sios that affiided Spain in the war of the Succes-
