PROCLAMATION.

GENERAL CASTANOS TO TUE ANDALUSIANS.
• " Valiant Andalusiansj—The flame of patriotism.
has in a few days burst forth with such brilliancy,
that it haS consumed the Oppressors of the Nation.

" You desired to be tree, and in a Moinetit yon
formed 'a 'protealing Government, and an Army,
anxious for battle and for triumph.
" Those Legions of Vandals, who for a time sur-
prised some of your Cities, which they delivered
up to plunder ; these insolent men, putted up with
the victories they:had gained over nations that were
not united, who sold by wholesale the plunder of
Europe,. and laid wasie the most fertile fields with
fire and the sword, have telt what the love of Coun-
try and Religion can do.
Valiant Andalusians, yours is the glory of Ma-
rengo, of Jena, and of Austerlitz; the laurels that
adorned the brows of those Conquerori are at your
feet.
" Immortal glory to the hero who has renewed in
the Sierra Morena the exploits of FAIIIUS MAXI-
MLII‘I ! Our children will say—' CASTANOS has
triumphed over the French. and his glory did not fill
the hopses of our fathers with snourninti.'—Unlad-
ing laurels.to the brave, who destroyed Ile insolent
oppressors of the huinao race. Blessings upon. the
wise Government that defended our rights and pre-
pared. out triumphs !
"- Yet you are not Andalusians alone, you are
.Spaniards—Fly; children of Spain, fly to your bre-
thren on the )tiro, the Douro, and the Xacar ; fly
to break the chains pi* the captives of the Tagus, of
Mauzanares, and of Lebregat, upon the heads of
their oppressors.
Blot out from the Spanish soil, even to the last
' footstep of these perfidious wretches—Avenge in
their blood the insults th:y have off:red to the shade
of a weak and cowardly Government-11..4r you
riot the cries of the murdered on the 2d of May
Do you not listen to the famentatiOns of the_oppress-
ed'? Are you not moved by the secret sighs of our
FERDIN,IND, weeping his separation train his coun-
trymen ?
War and vengeance!—Tremble,tyrant of Europe,
'upon your throne, you are covered with all sorts of
crimes. - - -

" Valiant Andalusians ! think no sacrifice too great
that is to recover your King and your independence.
You possess a country—oe a great nation7-iollow
the paths of glory and virtue, which under the Goat
of Armies, have led you to this first vidory."_ • •
