DECREE OF THE 'KING §PAAN
The'scandalous excess& whit') pirededed, ac-
companied, and `followed, theeittililislnent of
the dernocratical ConstitUtion of. Cadiz,' in the'
month of March, 1820, have been made:public,
-
and 'ilnoWn to all 'toy subjpets.
The most criminal, treason, tile most, disgrace.
ful baS'eness, horrible offences against
ml itoyatpurson7.-these, coupled with Violence,
were the means eviiplveyed to change essentially
the paternal GoVernthent of my kingdom into a
democratical cot, " ; the fertile source of disasters
and toisfortnues. •
My subjects, accustomed to live under wise
and moderate laws, and such as were conform.
able to their maimers and customs, and. which,
during so many:ages, constituted the' welfare of
their ancestors, soon gave public and universal.
proofs of their disapprobation and contempt of
the now' Constitutional, System. All classes of
the State experienced the mischiefs caused, by
the new institutions.
Tyrannically governed, by virtue and in the
name of the Constitution, secretly watched in
all their private concerns, it was not possible to
,restore order or justice ; and they could not
obey laws established by perfidy and treason,
sustained by violence, and tin source of the most
dread fuldisorders, of the most desolating anarchy,
and of universal calamity. •
he general voice was' heard from all sides

against the tyrantiicalponstieutioti ; it called for

tii,e cessation of a code null,in its origin. illegal
f.ormation; dud, unjust itt' its principle ; it
