M 4 /FE S TO
OF THE SPANISH NAtION TO EUROPE.

" Nations and communities of Europe, Princes,
good men of all classes and in all conditions, the
Spanish People, and in their name the Dire&ing
Junta, to whom, on account of the unjust and ini-
quitous imprisonment 'of their King, authority is
Confided, undertakes to lay before you a history of
the mis:ortunes and grievances they have endured,
and, in presenting to !AI a faithful pielnre of their
situation, a candid exposure of their designs, they
assure themselves of your compassion for their cala-
mities, and of your solicitudelor their fate.

.All the world has witnessed the constant adhe-
reuqe of Spain to the cause of France, and the unin-
terrupted friendship she has preserved during an en-
lire. War against the one was hostility
against the otherpeace with the one was tranquil-
lily with the others--their alliartc s and their con-
ne6tions were ever, the same—but France, by her
preponderance. n Europe, by the superior influence
of her Sovereigns, was considered the principal
brancliA4 the family of the Bourbons, and as such
regulated the enterprizes and direeled the operations
of both, Consequently, all the benefit of this union
was her own, and Spain
_derived no other utility
Kid no other glory from it, than as being the first
pad must powerful instrument of the agrandiseincnt
Of her ally„ ,
oc This union subsisted until the Revolution of
France, when. the expulsion of fathily frem the-
throne•of their ancestors, abrogated for ever the
compact. Other viess4, other relations, different

tunstancd to the Spanish Monarchy, apd Charles
IV. appeared willing to adopt them, when in 1793

viith those of,the Coalition of Europe, But the Fa-
vourite (Manuel de Godoy; Prince of the Peace,)
who possessed uncoutrouled influence in our Coun-
cils, wretchedly conkluoted our operations tR ,the
Lou; of cotitlict, and our arrangements in the inter-
val of tranquillity., roan unsuccessful war succeed-
ed a-disgrqceftil peace, and to this disgraceful peace
nu unequal and ruinous alliance, and from that time
*0 the pi'esent, Spain has been tied to the wheels of

(‘ How was it that the benefits of this alliance
were always with 'France ?Her industry was =-
tiered prove by the support of the treasures of
spaio and the Indies. Our armies were her's, and
not less purports, our shipping, and we May add,
our Colonies. This near relationship between the
'two Powers, was maintained on our part by good
frii•it and unreserved fricndshir we always received
11,,em as biethren, and, in their two expeditions into
Aornn, our peasants deprived themselves of bread,
in times of great secret y, to administer to the wants
of their troops ; and even • our women abandoned

swallowed\uply and Holland, that had subverted
the political system of Germany, and exterminated
Prussia, was arrested in its progress by the Peace of
Tilsit, but returned with violence to spend its fury in
the" West...-The unjust posses ion of Portugal and
reported expeditions to Africa, were the pretexts for
the introduction of French troops into. Spain, and
thetoffer of a Sovereignty in that kingdom to the
Favourite, was the temptation of the Favourite to
accede to these desiens, TO these arrangetnvnts
Was added, the scandalous transaaion of the Escu-
rial ; the' unhappy divisions among the Royal Fa-
wily, produced by French intrigue and perfidy ;
*tie and Europe heard with astonishment the,
charge of parricide adduced by Charles the . IV th
against. his successor, and .they listened with horror
while a father commande& the sword of justice to.
fall upon his first-born: But Spain and Europe re-
pelled the nefarious calumny, and not a stain re-
mained On the character of an innocent and virtuous
Prince—persecuted,, deprived of the affeation and
confidence of his parents, his respea and obedience
to them. never forsook him, and his only crime was,
being feared and therefore detested by the Favourite.
The wretch did net venture to Consummate his pur-
pose, pad alarmed at the vengeance. prepared . for
.him by Spanish loyalty, he abandoned his infamous
design, and by this unsuccessful effort advanced one
step nearer 'elite precipice from which he fell.
"' In the 'mean while !the French troops entered
Spain, and Napoleon taking advantage of this shame-
ful disunion in the .Royal Family, gave the signal to
his Generals to forward his purposes. The fortresses
of Pamplona, Barcelona, and Figueras, were Mt.
cherously seized by those soldiers who were received
into the country as friends and" allies. When this
infringement of the' laws of hospitality became
known, the whole kingdom was alarmed and the
Goverement interposed ; but the weak King, instead
of opposing violence by violence, contented himself
with listening to the Idle excuses of the French, and
again returned to the fatal lethargy that absorbed
his faculties. ,They Allen advanced. towards the Ca.
pital, and , the mystery was unveiled. • The dis-
respea with which they spice of the nation and of
its Princes, increased the public inquietude, and the
fears of the most incautious, who at firSt believed that
they came to destity the tyranny of Godoy, in the
sequel were awakened. The King, t aself, at last
undeceived, proceeded from Madrid, on his road to
'Andalusia, with a view to transport himself to the
western world.
• "' Such was the state of the Spanish people, who
no longer had any hope to indulge, and no respeCt to
preserve. They saw themselves d&prived of their
Princes, without a GeVertinient, without a Protector,
abandoned to the tender mercies of strangers, and
exposed to the fate of Portugal, where the French
had been received, without oppoiitien, and where,
as the, first specimen oi.n;form, they confiscated all
property, public tied private, and levied to immense
contribution as a pretended 'ransom for' the inha-
bitants. Spain at length lifted up itsvoice, resisted
the designs of the Royal Family, and the Favourite
devolved -into That state of insignificance,, in which
he-should have .always' remained,. and his patrons
either nit willing,' or not knowing how to reign
:without him, ab:Uatea to the heir the' throne of
their fathers—Ferdinand the Vlith was solemnly
• proclaimed and universally acknowledged to be King
by those who, were to .obey bids. The nation was
suddenly restyled frcitrz death to life, confidence
was re-established, and liappineas'.reigned in every
bosom. None are better acquainted than the
French, if they chose, for once, to speak 'the truth,
with the perlea unanimity of sentiment, and the
general 'and loud expression of national joy which
;was virciferated'throughont the Empire.
The friendly relationship :which yet apparently
subsisted between the two countries, was not de-
Buoyed', but on the c intrary, the young Monarch
used his endeavours 'to draw still closer the bonds
of rifleaion. As Prince of Astnriate he had sought
the friendship Of Buonaparte, and had implored his
protection against the oppression Under which he la-
boured, and had even manifested a wish to be allied
by marriage with his family: When Monarch of
Spain and of the Indies, he was faithful to what he
had before • professed, end he sent an Ambassador,
Extraordinary to announce to the Emperor his exal-
tation to the Throne ; repeating on the same occa-
sion the.offer'of a domestic union. Whet; he Was'
infdimed' that Napoleon was journeying to Spain,
he diOnssed bik Rept! Brother to compliment him
on hisnpproach, andraupposing from the represen-
tetions of the false emissaries of, Buonaparte, that.
the Emperor would-,meet him within the limits of
Spain,he went himself to accelerate the interview.
" Yhat 11130 is there who retains any portion of
the charaaer of his species, that could be insensible
• to these demonstrations of friendship and confidence.
Napoleon continutalto deceive the King by his arti.-
fices and the innocent viL itu proceeded from Burgos
to ~'ictOritt, front Viaoria to the Frontiers,.and front
the Frontiers to Riyonne. Here at latit he meets
with his :;11y, who haVing entangled hint in his toils
inforinsliirn; that he' Mitst renounce that Crown
with
:which hia,brows had been encircled by the Will
of his People. lii order to overcome that' repugnance
which Buonaparte expected in a Spanisli'Prince,'on
hearing such a degrading proposition, he, contrived,
tHat the-Royal Pare us should meet their son at Bay-
°nue, and revoke the abdication -they 144 made in
his favour. There assuming, the charatter of the
defender of the rights of the father 'against the son,
availing himself of that filial reverence whic,neVer
forsook the breast of Ferdinand, and, uiumphing
over the miserable situation Of all of them, he com-
pels the son to return the Crown to his parent, and
the parent to surrender it into his Own hands.
" And what was the situation, what. were the
sentiments of the. people of Spain, while this scene
of disgrace and tyranny was exhibiting ; while all
the fundamental laws of the 'Monarchy were'violat-
ed, and all 'the purpose S-of the national disap-
pcinted ' Restrained by their loyalty and, peace, as
loeg as they could indulge a • hope that their King
would be acknowledged, they spewed no inipatience
or'disgust towards the Frond), who, aceetntnodated
in the.capital and its neighboorhood,'employed the
Millie of Fdrdinand and of his Government;.'while
they were consoled by the hospitality and' courtesy
pt the Spanish people, •But when. they Aiscirvered
:that the King, nutwithstanding the promises he had
made on leaving them, did not and could not re-
Inrn ; when they discerned the trammel; in which
1"; was PnVelN4cl Bayonne; when they read
ttte ioCendiary 04peri circulated with industry, de..
:NAN the ltaN reyelution 1 whyn they learnt that

the sad remains of the ROyal Family were brutally
forced froni their territories, then, and net: till, then,
public discontent expressed itself in complaint and
clamour, and the general indignation began to be
manifested by open hostility.
" The French took advantage of this violent agi-
tation, and their atrocious connivances prepared the
road for the memorable transactions of the 2d of.
May.—They now had recourse to 'the means or in-
spiring terror, and they thought, that by vanquish-
ing the capital, they should conquer the whole -na-
tion. An opportunity soon offered, which Might
have been evaded by pacific expedients. Inipatient
of blood,- inflated by tyranny., they mowed down
an innocent people, and slaughter spread its wide
havoc through the quiet streets 9f Madrid ; the in-
habitants' rushed •to arms, and band to hand, and
foot to foot, the battalions of the French were
taught how to despise death by their opponents,
whu manit&ted more courage than their Nile assas-
sins, protected by the closeness of a phalanx; and all
ttwsesources of military discipline. liuman blood
poured as warm a current though the avenues, and
although unequal in number, ebandOned, by their
Government, and deserted by their Officers, who
shamelessly confined • thetnSelves in their quarters,
the conflid was sustained with obstinacy, and, in
many places, with advantage, when the accents of
peace were heard with reverence from the lips of
their Magistrates, and they obeyed the mandate.
" The combat 'ceased, and horror commenced its
labours. Barbarous Frenchmen estatdished their
posts thioughent the capital, and the people-, forted
with arms on their parsons, even %yid) domestic
utensils pretended to be such, were seized, and,
without preparatiOn or trial, during the same_ night,
and the following morning,. were butchered' within
sight of their own doors. 'During that terrible in-
terval, the silence. Was only interrupted by the.aels of
the executiOner, and thee, oatts of the dying, and
brave Spaniards disernied, were prevented from in-
fueling a just vengeance tbr the murder of their bre-
thren.
" That melancholy day transferred into the hands
of Frenchmen the highest authority "of the :State,
and the resignations from Bayonne, which immedi-
ately appeared, acquainted the people that their th-
tore fate was to depend 'upon the will of Napo-
leon. The Emperor then ceded 'to his brother Jo-
,
seph the Spanish Crown, and in order to sanction
these ads, in the
,genuine style 'of French buffoon-
ery, a Junta of Spaniards was convoked at Bayonne ;
some of the Members were sold, others were imbe-
ciles, but most of them were mere cyphers—and
these puppets of the Grand Master, of the show,
without credentials, 'without any appeal to the pub-
lic to- obtain authority,
,signified their approbation
of, and subscribed their names 'to the miserable
farrago, which Napoleon,and his Secretaries distin-
guished by the pompous title of the Spanish Con-
.stitntion.
In this manner, after having pradised whatever
is vile in perfidy, and whatever is detestable in
wickedness, these ithpudenf sophists atretled to speak
of constitutions, laws, and reforms ; and, not being
able to exhibit any right, either just or apparent for
' their usurpation, they gilt over their crimes under
the specious name of Public Reformers. But a na-
tion composed Of twelve millions of people requires
too tutors. • And, good God ! who are these instrue,.
tor;? They are the same, that after having called
themselves the defenders of the rights of man, and
-of all the principles of legitimate government, nins;
ter thigh' armies to trample both .on the one and the
other; both within and without their own bound-
aries. Who are these instrudors ThoseAvho have
made no law which they have not destroyed, whO
have established no government Which , they have
nut corrupted. These instructors are states as ha-vt.,
alternately pradised, and endured horrois without
end, in order to establish that liberty which they
knOw not how to enjoy,, and have terminated their
career of infamy by becoming the degradedinstru-
ments of ,the most insensate ambition, with. which
the world has been afllided since the days 'ofTamer-
lane. Let us no longer submit. to the ravaciti of
these plunderers of the world, who cane. to rob us
of that wealth accumulated on our soil :bp the la-
bours of'a century. Let us not submit to be. the,
'vassals of this subaltern ruler, placed here only to be
the mouth-piece of thes tyrant. Let us not allow
our youth to be transported to other countries, to
Cut the throats-of nations who have done us no injory,
as the conscripts of Italy and Gerinany, shed our
blood within our own territoriest. If the ruby cur-
rent of the heart must be pouredforth, it is better to
offer it as incense to our country, than to the ambi-
tion of a maniac. It is batter to tight and die before
the face of our, fathers on the shorcs.of the Tagus,
the-GuadalqUiver, and the: Ebro, than ft), make the.
frozen regions of the Vistula and the Danube blush
for our crimes.
