Finance, the enormous sacrifices which the nation is under the 1
necessity of making to meet the expenses which the present '
critical circumstances require. The Deputies are. ready to grant
Government all the means which it needs, but they will tint
justify the confidence of their constituents, if they do not ex-
amine many of the causes which have made these sacrifices ne-

cessary.
In consequence, M. CANGA read the following Resolution,
signed by 55 Deputies :
" Before proceeding to the discussion of the proposals made
by Government at yesterday's Sitting, it ought to make known
to the Cortes the causes which have placed the country in its
present state, as well as the measures which ought to be adopt-
ed to remedy the evils which afflict it."
M. CANGA explained his opinion from the Tribune. In his
discourse he pointed out the origin of the evils of the country,
of which the causes were the impunity enjoyed by the enemies
of the system, the false, idea entertained of the enthusiasm of
the Patriots,-the slowness with which the inquiries into the
conspiracies of Cadiz, Burgos, and others, the persecutions of
the Patriots under the title of Anarchists, Republicans, and
other denominations, when they only indicated to the Govern-
ment the evils which would overwhelm the country, if it did
not destroy with a strong hand the obstacles which opposed the
consolidation of the system ; but the Government had always
acted as if these fears were without foundation, and as de-
rived from men whose ideas led to disorganization. M. Canga
then referred to the conduct of foreign nations towards Spain
since its regeneration. In speaking of France, he said, that its
Government acted against Spain in a manner very little con-
formable to the amity and harmony which ought to reign be-
tween the two nations, for it gave succour, and protected those
who conspired against the new institutions in Spain. His pro-
position was unanimously approved_ of.
The discussion of the Military Code, begun last Session, was
then again entered into, and a great number of articles agreed
to. Article 55, is, No military man shall obey his superior,
who misemploys the armed force, in the following cases, under
the penalties fixed by the laws.—l. To injure the sacred per-
son of the King.-2. To prevent the free election of the De-
puties to the Cortes.-3. To hinder the meeting of the Cortes
at the epochs, and under the circumstances ordered by the
Constitution.-4. To suspend or dissolve the Cortes, or their
permanent Deputation.-5. To oppose any obstacle in any way
whatever to the sittings or deliberations of the Cortes, or of its
permanent Deputation.
The sitting of the 10th was consecrated to the discussion of
the Military Code. The Commission, charged with present-
ing to the King the Answer to his Speech, repaired to the
Palace at one o'clock.
The Gazette has published officially the defeat of Zaldivar
near Porto Lerrano. He lost many killed, and several horses
and arms taken.

MADRID, OCT. 10.—A Deputation of the Cortes presented
to-day at oue o'clock the following Address to his Majesty :
" SIRE—The Deputies of the Nation assembled in Extraor-
dinary Cortes present themselves before the Throne of your
Majesty to renew the testimony of their love and respect, and
to offer their felicitation for their happy meeting, which so
many obstacles had retarded, but which the whole nation wish-
ed for as necessary to the salvation of your royal dignity and

the country.
" The Extraordinary Cortes agree with your Majesty, that
the circumstances of the nation are extremely difficult, but they
firmly hope, with your Majesty, that if any thing can repair
past evil,averefor the future similar evils, these benefits Cannot
be effected, but by the meeting of the Legislative Body, and
the frank co-operation of your Majesty in the views of the Le-

gislature.
" The Cortes, Sire, deplore with your Majesty the ravages
occasioned by the civil war kindled in several Provinces. They
would gladly not be forced to appeal to fire and sword to put
an end to it; they would ascend to its principles, and extirpate
from its roots, the plant which has produced such bitter and
destructive fruits. However, they will not refuse to their coun-
try the tribute she demands in her affliction ; and certain of the
warm enthusiasm with which the patriotism of Spaniards will
meet present necessities, they will vote the augmentation of the
valiant and patriotic permanent army, the arming and better
organization of the active militia, and the necessary sums to
support the undertakings which have for their object the conso-
lidation of the liberty, glory, peace, and happiness of the na-
tion which they represent.
" With such aid, the Cortes are persuaded that the govern-
ment of your Majesty may raise Spain to the rank she should
occupy in the political map of Europe and the world. The
Cortes will aid you in all that may demand their intervention
and assistance, always guided by the desire of preserving na-
tional honour, and of making the Spanish name respected
among all powers, and of extending our relations with the
Powers with which it is convenient to do so, and especially
those who enjoy free institutions and interests like our own.
" The Cortes will never lose sight of the fate of the heroic
Spanish army, so rich in civic and military virtues ; they will
seek the means of rewarding its constant merit, and the services
which it incessantly renders to the cause of national liberty—
services as important as those which it has already rendered to
the cause of national independence. They will continue to
discuss an ordonnance appropriated to the lights of the age, to
the progress of the arts of war, to the system of new political
laws, and will seek to conciliate the observance of rigid disci-
pline with the respect due to the dignity of the armed citizen.*
" Well convinced that the good and speedy administration
of justice is the greatest benefit that men can enjoy in society,
the Cortes will employ themselves without relaxation on the
code of criminal procedure, in order that it may bq put in exe-
cution conjointly with the penal code already published, and
banish from our Courts vicious and dilatory forms, to substi-
tute others clear, short, and uniform.
" In consecrating their attention to this subject, the Cortes
will hold themselves equally ready to discuss any important and
urgent matters which your Majesty may think fit to submit to
their decision. However painful, however difficult their duties,
the Cortes will deem it an honour to fulfil them ; and fortified
by the union of all the friends of liberty, they flatter themselves
with putting a happy termination to them. They reckon on the
active co-operation of your Majesty, for it is only thus that factions
will be annihilated, that the malevolent will renounce their
plans of destroying liberty, under the ruins of which your
Throne would be buried, and that a prospect will be opened of
a happy futurity for your Majesty and the country."
The discussion on the Ordonnance of the Army goes on.
The Municipality of Madrid has given a new public testi.
mony of satisfaction and gratitude to the Italian proscripts who
took part in the glorious day of the 7th. The Italian Colonel
Don V. Pisa addressed a complimentary letter to the Munici-
pality in behalf of his countrymen, and has received a most
flattering Answer.
