" DECREE

" THE REGENCY OF THE KINGDOM WHICH GOVERNS
SPAIN DURING THE CAPTIVITY OF FERDINAND VII.-

DIEU QUI GARDE.
" Knowing the motives which influenced the prosecution
against His Excellency Francois Solchaga, Peer of Spain, of
the first class, and General of the Order of Capucins ; and the
cause of the process which has been instituted against him by
the Revolutionary Government which has unfortunately ruled
Spain since the Oth March 1820 an having been informed
that the result of the prosecution against him has been his exile
to the Peninsula—do ordain as follows:
" We declare as unjust and null the sentence which has been
pronounced upon this individual, leaving him at his own dis-
posal, to return when he pleases, to any part of the kingdom of
; and in consequence of ie basis established by our first
Proclamation, we re-appoint him to all the functions and offices
which he enjoyed previously to March 1820, commanding obe-
dience to his instructions from the Officers under his command,
and the execution of his orders as heretofore."

LETTER FROM THE BISHOP OF URGEL TO THE REGENCY
OF THE KINGDOM.
" Gentlemen,—Although the circumstances in which this
province is at present placed, particularly calls your attention
to the objects which are specially necessary to the happy issue
of that glorious struggle upon which the welfare of the nation
entirely depends, yet having the happiness of the nation so
near your hearts, you will not fail to devote your attention to
the important branch of public instruction, without which it
will be impossible to secure the safety of the Commonwealth
acquired by so many sacrifices ; and much less to resist the
new attacks which must arise from the increase of irreligion,.
impiety, and vice, which are sure to surround us, unless their
efforts are annihilated, or their progress arrested.
" With these considerations I presume to solicit your au-
gust Assembly, seeing the impossibility of opening, during
the present year, the University of Cervera, the only one
which exists in this province, that you will permit the Semi-
noire coliciliare of this city to continue its instructions in
moral philosophy, theology, and the Holy Writ, and suffer
the students who attend this place to enjoy the same advan-
tages which are granted to other Universities, during the whole
of the present year. The consequences of this indulgence will '
be, that the young students, who are now suffering from the
corruption and disorder which prevails throughout the Univer-
sity of Cervera, will retire to this place to enjoy the fruits of
their application, and relieve their minds from the seduction to
which they are now subjected."
The Regency having maturely deliberated upon this propo-
sal, gave its assent to it without the slightest restriction, and
issued a Manifesto, signed by Dominique Marie Batreton, or-
dering the Lectures to commence on the sth November.
ST. JEAN PIED-DE-PORT, OCT. 15.—0 n the 10th, Sala-
berri, a superior officer of the Army of the Faith, was. carried
prisoner to Pampeluna. On the 11 th the Constitutionalists
entered Scava and Ochavagia, where they retook 34 soldiers
who had been made prisoners. The Army of the Faith has
been completely beaten and routed. So great is their terror,
that they have abandoned the Fort of Irati. The Commandant
and the Junta arrived here on the 13th. Had not the Constitu-
tionalists stopped at Ochagavia, they would have entered the
fort without firing a shot. But next day Col. Arodondo rallied
200 fugitives, and with them entered Irati. The Constitution-
alists were delayed by a thick mist, and were ignorant of the
disorder into which the enemy had been thrown. The maga-
, zines of the Army of the Faith have been carried off.
