sidering the horrible abuse which they have made of the bounty
and clemency which his :Majeity shoiyed them, by his decree of
the Ist of 'May, and 'convinced' 'at length, of the necessity
which exfsts for departing, ray-Warne.; from the ordinary course
of proceeding, - as also for causing prompt chastisement to be
inflicted, which may'serve for a punishment to some, and ope.
rate as a check on others, and inspire, generally, confidence in

O'Donnell adds, that both the military and the numerous
throng who witnessed the execution, loudly expressed their
feelings of horror at the crimes 'of which these rebels had been
tuilty, and their hopes that all those who conspire against

fate.

PRQCIAAMATION,
eDon Jose de S Lieuterumt4ientirei of the Arndt*
Viceroy of Peru, essk
The sacrifices of every kind which are making, and have been
mule, by the Generals, Chiefs, Officere., Troops, and other me.
ritoriout persons, for the defence and • maintt.ounce of his Ma.
jetty's rights, are notorious In these countries. No less now.
doom is the circumspection with whiA I have proceeded in exe-
cuting the laws of the Constitutional system, since, in otmfur.
mity with my Proclamation of the 11th of April, 18:12, many
of those laws remain unfulfilled. I doubt whether those who
nowmost boast of being anti-Constitutional, would in my place
have ventured on such marked violations and modifications when
the Constitution was ostensibly protected laud recommended by
the King himself; but as I do not make a parade of this, nor
of tiny thing else, except of hating performed my duty in
press rving this territory to the King and the nation, pass over
in silence loony things, of which othol would make a merit ;
and shall only say that I would with pleasure, have announced
and ordered the abolition of the Constitutional system before
receiving the original and direct orders from his Majesty,'had
the laws and fundamental practices permitted me solo do, and
if I had not: fearr.ti that the accounts which have appeared in
the enemy's papers, and Spanish papers, relrinted in epuntriei
occupied by the enemy, were fabricated. 'l. he delay in web/. I
ins the King's orders obliged me to issue aprochimution tn. tit.,
Peruvians on the 6th of Pebruaryvand to address to them on
the sth of the present month the two questions which appsar in
my circular, published in the Gazelle, No. 45. But as tilloor.
General Don Geronimo Valdes, commandiog the array of the
South, in cousequence of my powers and instructions, thought
it absolutely necessary to abolish the Constitutional system in
the provinces south of the Desaguadero on aseotint of the pre,
mature and illegal proceedinit of the frist.bordinate and diem.-
derly tieneral.iilaneut, who had of his oWn authority abolished
the Constitution in Charipti and Potosi., it would not 'MVO been
-conimustit v.sprirstly tOlifierate the monstrous inconsistency
of Notaries muter the same' Supreme Ouvernment being sd-
nkinisterell by opposing systems s and it being imperiously se.
emery to remove every embarrassment opposed to, the preserve,.
that °Fortier, the security of Peru, and the onquest of the last
remains of the enemy, I have thought fit to dociare ,out decree
as follows:

• 1. Conformably to Article ist orthe Royal Decree, purport-
ing to beriakal in Puerto de. Santa Marta, 1,W3, anti
transtnitted to me by General Olaneta in a philter' paper with-
out date, place, or imprint, the authenticity of which is there.
tore uncertain are null and of no value all the acts of Govern.
ment called Constitutional, (of whatever class or kind those
acts may be), which has governed the Spanish people from the
7th of March until this day, because during the whole of that
period the King our Lord, being deprived of his liberty, was
obliged to Sanction laws and authorize orders, decrees, and re-
gulations, which were contrary to his will, prepared and expe-
dited b the said Constitutional Government.
P. This and other articles to Art. 9, further quotes the de-
cree of Puerto de Santa Maria; after which rejoicings are or-
dered, the troops are required to take a new oath of fidelity to
Ferdinand, the constitutional stone to be removed from the
place in which it is erected, Ate.]
9. Though, in consequence of this proceeding, the first ques-
tion which I proposed on the tith current appears to be deter-
mined, nevertheless an opinion shall be given upon it confor-
mably to what the lowa prescribe, in order that the stone may
be in all times manifest. On this question, and on the second,
the report required in my before-mentioned circular is expected
with all possible expedition.
10. Should the Sovereign be displeased with these measures
on account of their being premature, and destructive of what is
ordered and ususily practised even in inferior and detached
objects and matters of infinitely less weight and importance
than the change of the system of the Monarchy, it is to be
hoped that his Majesty will direct all his indignation against
General (Jlauetn, who? by depriving me of the pleasure and
the glory of proclaiming the triumph of the sacred und pri-
mitive right of the crown in the time and form prescribed,
has rendered necessary the illegal and prejudicial anticipa-
tion of this act, for the important purpose of maintaining the
unity and good order of the provinces intrusted to my direc-
tion and care.

11. Under these circumstances, I flatter myself that the in-
habitants of Peru will giVe me a renewed proof of their exem-
plary subordination, by paying a blind obedience to the pre-
sent Proclamation, In which there is no necessity to insert any
penalty for causing it to be respected, as I do not apprehend
that it will be contravened by a single individual.
A competent number of copies of this Proclamation must be
printed, and circulated by the principal Authorities; the same
is required to be made public here, and in all other places, with
the greatest possible pomp solemnity.
