The Duke d'Angoul6tne set out this morning
for the army. His Royal- Highness left the
Palace of. the Tuileries about nine o'clock, after
breakfasting with his Majesty. He .proceeds
first to Perpignan, and thence along the line of
of the Pyrenees, and the different divisions of the
army, to Bayonne. A small number of persons
assembled to witness his departure, but no-partr-
ticular.feeting was manifested. His Royal High-
ness and suite occupied two carriages : his servants
and baggage had been sent away some days ago.

raged at being declared liable to lays contrary

. CORTES, SUNDAY, 31ancti 2.
A letter was presented from the Secretary of
State for the Home 'Department. It stated, that
by Royal order ke had to communicate to the'
Cortes, that.his Majesty, yielding to the repeated
requests of the present Ministers to be relieved-
from the burden of office, had been pleased to
accede to their wishes, with the understanding
that they should continue to manage the business
of their. respective departments until they made
a report to the ' Cortes on the state of the
nation. The letter also Staked that his Ma-
jesty had appointed the following Secretaries
of State. (Here follow the names which have been
already given.), The letter was laid on the table.
The memorial presented by the Permanent De-
putation was read. it began by detailing the
events of July last, and then proceeded to de-
scribe the installation of the late Extraordinary
Cortes, and other circumstances. Finally, it
stated that, having received a dispatch from the
Government respecting the propriety and neces-.
sity of its removal to a place of security, accorns.!
puled with,a consul/um of the Council of State,
and a resolution of his Majesty upon the sanfe
subject, the Perinanent Deputation had deter-
mined. that those documents should be referred
to the President and Secretaries of the present
Cortes. This memorial was ordered to be re.
ferred 'to a Special Committee.
Several Deputies signified a wish to address the Cortes.
The President observed, that with respect to the removal of
the Government, which had been Mentioned in the memorial
of the Permanent Deputation, he thought it proper to inform
the Cortes of the state in which that subject stood. The opinion
of the military junta respecting the place to which the Govern.
meat ought to be removed hail been referred to the Conned of
State. The Secretaries of the Cortes had repeatedly made in-
quirt' of the-Ministers as to the- state -of the bushiest. The
Ministers replied, that the Council of Suite had not concluded
its deliberation. Tiwy had since made official corrimunipt.
thins to the same eirCet, nod he hail now en official intimation
from the Ministers, front which it appeared that the Council of
State lout not yet corm! to any decision.
Sonor Pratt moved that the memorial be printed.—Ordered.
Seiler Ferrer (Don Joachim) said.„..4 should be wanting

my most sacred duty as a Spamerd and Deputy of the nation,
if I did not at this moment declare my opinion that the country
is in the crater of a volcano; that a conspiracy similar to that
against Naples is at work ; and that the greatest efforts are
HMIS to deprive us of our liberty. I theretiire consider ray,-.'tr.
bound to propose whatever may appear calculated to obviate
the difficulties we may have to encounter. I perceive that, ec-
cording to the periodical practice of depriving us of a ('iovern-

has 'teen ree4Ved from Bay-Orme, in which it avowed, that by
the 6th of the present Month there will be assembled on that
point !,I7 regiments of infantry, and 11 of cavalry, and that their
plan is-the same which has been often annoinicetinamely, tb
matte a rapid advance upon Madrid, in order to deprive us of
a central Government, and to carry oft' the Royal Family. As
time it precious, and the case urgent, I think that the Corti*
ought
to take this subject into immediate consideration.
therefore propose that the Ministers be called upon to state in
what circumstances of danger we are placed, and whether they
consider the time for removing the Government to be arrived,
In order that the Cortes may adopt the necessary measures. •

indeed every one else is, that this conspiracy has its seat in the

notwithstanding all this aorobation, they Aft iiiMUSSOIL But at

we are on the one hanil threatened with foreign war, and on

wish to know whether the Government can collect force enough
to prevent the advance of the French to the capital? If, its I*
believe to be the case, they cannot, for it is' out possible that
they shOuld have a sufficient forh~ for that purpose, it fbilows
that the French will he able to arrive at Madrid before the 'new

n Affairs.--Since the wish
The Secretary of -State for Foreigl
•of the Congress reduces itself merely to the being informed
whether circumstances have varied since the Decree alluded to,
. I have the honour to state that' they have ;or that if coy
change has. taken piece, it is that there is a greater pmba-
bility of the invasion, ; and that it is certain that the French
• troops are drawing Tleter Mut the Pyrenees, and that it hi very
probable that by the leth there may be 110 tie 90,000 men on
the frontiers.
.:tenor Carlene—What has been stated by the Secretary of
State proves that the reports which are in circulation are not en-
tirely destitute of foundation, and that the country is in inuni-
rent danger. lam therefore of opinion, that the sitting ought
•• to he dettWed permanent, until it be determined to what point
stie'Cortes and the Government shall be removed, whereby a
great step will be gained towards rescuing this unfortunate na-
tion from the perils which menace it.--.(Repeated plaudits in the
galleries.) • •
The President.-.-The more critical the circumstances, the
more necessary it is that our deliberation's should be calm.—
.The public ought to be aware of the great injury•which their
applause occasions. If it be persisted in, I shall be obliged
souse the authority which the regulations of the Chamber give
me,
The proposition of Senor Canga was now formally read. It
watt to the effect that the Cortes should exclusively occupy them-
swivel with the consideration of the place to which the Govern-
ment ought to be removed ; and that for that purpose the sit-
ting should either be permanent, or the Cortes should again re-
assemble that evening for an extraordinary sitting.
Simor 8enit0...4 rise to speak on this proposition, not he-
. cease 1 differ in opinion from SenorCanga, but hecausel think
it necessary first of all that the Secretary of State should inform
'Us in what situation is the execution of the decree of the 17th of
lest month, for chuosing a point to which thaGovernmetit should
be removed. 1,. as an individual of the Permanent Deputation,
know that, on the day before the functions of that deputation
ceased, his Majesty had asserted that the Government should
-bee authorised to take measures for prosecuting the intention of
• the decree. also know that the Ministry had, with their usual
zeal, previously assembled a Junta of Generals, to take their
opinion on the point to which the Government should be re-
„moved. I further know, that this Junta nsadea report, which
was by Rental order referred to the Council of State. It appears
to me, therefore, that the Cortes ought to inquire what has
-been done in the Council of State on this subject.
The proposition of Senor Canga was then declared to come
under aeticle 100'of the regulations, and accordingly admitted
to discussion.
.The Secretary of State for War.—As •soon as the Govern.
ment received the decree of the Cortes, it was without the least
delay submitted to a Junta of General Officers, who were in-
• formed that they must make a report upon it at the latest on
the following day. The Military Junta complied with this
instruction, and on the 24th the report was referred, with
notice of urgency, to the deliberation ,of the Council of State.
• —The day before yesterday another Royal Order was trans-
witted from my department, requiring that the delibera-
tion should be concluded ; but as yet no decision has been
• come to.
Senor Canga —We are not now to be impeded by formalities,
which in quieter times might be very proper. The Council
of State has occupied six days in deliberation, which at a mo.
meet like the present is equal to six years.
• The Secretary for the Home Department.—l rise merely
to correct a point of fact. Though the Junta of Generals had
deter tined the place to which in a military point'of view the
removal ought to be made, it was obvious that many political
considerations might perhaps require a change in that place.—
After the subject had been fully considered. a communication
was made to his Majesty, who assented to the removal, and nu-
• thorised the Secretaries of State to adapt the necessary measures
for that purpose. Tice Ministers might then have refrained
• from consulting the Council of State, but they thought it pro.
Tv to refer the subject to that hotly, Its his Majesty had signi.
tied a wish to know tile opinion of his Council. The Otivern.
ment has endeavoured to stimulate the zeal of the Council ;
and as the deliberation is not concluded, some obstacle 111Wii
have impeded the making of the report. I shall not enter into
• the question started by the last speaker, as to whether it is pro-
per now to disregard forms which at another tune would be
millspenseble. I shall inertly state to the Congress, 'that ac-
cording to information received by the Government, a Consi-
. doable French army threatens our frontiers, and that within a
few days that army will be in a condition to attempt an aggres-
sion which we cannot repel with an equal force. %VC are there-
fore in the situation in which the Cortes are bound to adopt
• whatever measures may be necessary for the safety of the coun-
try, which, in diflicnlt circumstances, is the only law that ought
to be consulted.
Senor Ferrer (Don Joachim) agreed with the proposition
,e of Senor Canga in all ILA parts : but lie wished to know. whether'
2elle iltiVeriunent, in consequence of the information received
•on the subject of the approatiting invasion, thought time the
et:cation for the removal of the Government had arrived ?
• ' The Secretary of State for Airar.—Replying categorically to
• the-stotion which the last speaker has put, the Government
must say; tete eitnectasion for carrying into effect the-removal
has arrived.

Setter Isturiz.--It appears that the. Ministers had indite:.
hie Majesty to authorize theta to adopt 'peepitatory mea-
aurae for the removal, must then sett that the Celine%
'of State appears to use to be guilty of a great crime, either
:through ignorance or design, in withholding Its Cotten/tent
•on this important queetion. But lem or opinion that the
Congress ought now to take into consideration the measures
necessary for accommplishing the removal. It is necessary
teat the Cates should know what means exist for merging its
:decree into effect. As the Government has said that the time for
removing is conic, it might be presumed that the Ministers had
made all the requieite arrangements as far as the state of the na-
tional penury would permit; • But there is one remarkable cir-
1-curt:stance which makes inc doubt the power of the Govern-
' tesneto carry the measure into effect : the tortes mow that the
Xing. has dismissed the present Withers me 1 appointed others.:
iu doing KO he has exercised his prerogative. shall not enter
into soy detailed examination of the fitnees or unfitness of the
0101-00nt chosen for this act, but I must say, that the moment
leo which his Meissty has done it is most inconvenient. The
inference to which I would direct the attention of Cortes is,
that a government whose existence is merely eventual can ill
expect to be obeyed in the time of calamity. flow can it be.''
expected that a Government so situated should be sufficiently
vigorous to carry into effect the measures the Cortes have tie-
• creed ? The Cortes have, however, no legal means of,making
his Majesty retract his measures, even supposing them irupto-
per t but I think this is an occasion in winch his Alajesty ought
to be called upon to fix the stability of the Government, in order
that the Cortes may act in concert with the Ministers in giving
I ell r.ffeet t 4 the decree of the removal.,
At thereequestof Senor Alarau, the communication name to
hie elteeiey by the Secretaries' of State, relative to the removal,
and tinted the 111th, was read; as was also the opinion of the
Coeincil of State upon that communication.
At the request of Senor 'Romero, the deeree of his Majesty,
' authorizing the Seeretarieteof State to adopt preliminary tnea-
• mires for the removal, wits read.
Senor Arguellese—ln the course of the present discussion no
objection'iat been nettle to the proposition of Setter Canga,
• some there really could be none, because, though there might
• formerly have been some doubt respecting the proprity of the
tanovel, that etnitht must now be dissipated: It is clear that
• the opinion of 'the Council of State which has just been read
piesente no obstacle to the removal. It speaks of it, indeed, in
an Affirmative sense, and only dwells on the necessity of great
prudence and circumspection. I concur in this opinion, and I ,
imiuve already given proofs of being perhaps too much the friend
of pireumspecuon. Asehowever, the Council of State is not
responsible, but the 4i-tweet-Intent and the Cortes, for this ince-
. sure, I, with all respect for the opinion of that eternal, con-
ceive that the Cortez ought to adopt 'the proposition before
them, with one alteration, which I shall presently state. The
Cones have heard Crete the Secretary fur %Via that in hie opi.
OM the nioment for the removal has arrived.' To me it is a
great eitisfaction, to find that my humble opinion'coincides
with that of the Government ; and I happen to know, though
not in any of the secrets of the State, that nothing but a great
illesion could make any one believe that the time for revved
• leas nix dime. I surely ntitri do no more than beg of the Cortes
to keep in mind the bad faith of the Waite Powers, their want
:of eincerity, and their desire to lull us' into a false security, in
order to destroy us. - then, this be their distinctive character,
must we not believe that they will adopt every means to admi-
nista to then .eloses of their opium ? Reasoningfrom
nnalegy, foreign Governments who have ventured to violate
the most sacred laws al nations, will not fail to resort to any
means fur the pupa surprising us, and throwing Us into Con-

fuSion:-Not to adopt the measure which is under consideration
.
would ben positive proof that we want sufficient firmness to re-
sist the-attacks of our enemies. There is no other alternative.—
We must either submit to-the 80,1100 hostile bayonets nr carry
the removal into effect. Besides, it is necessary to beer in mind,
that even though we. ere ..to make COriCeS6loll6 to the foreign
,Powers who threaten us, we should not thereby avoid invasion,
while on the other hand parties would be augmented.' This twill
prove. The. mere resolution of the Cortes.would notrestlice to si-
lence the two nettles thetwould be formed.; the'one maintaining
that, we ought to yin d, antillteother the contrary. WoUld the
announcing that the Cortes have entered into negociation be
sufficient to silence public opinion ? Certainly not. Hilt there
yet remains somethingenore, • 4nvesion.would not be avoided
even though a concession were unite. We must recollect what
happened in France on the entrance.of Louis XVI 11. That
Monarch did not entmthe French territory with merely the
charter in-his hand.; Ile entered with the charter, and with
160,000 foreiemers, havingstoo,olo more ready to march forward
in case the first force should not be sufficient •to calm the ele-
ments of discord . that might. arise. 4 t csottld have been the
height of imprudence had . Louie XVIII. presented himself,
armed only with his -.charter, ttiforee and compel the French.
nation to adopt it: -thus he found it necessary to be accom-
panied by 150,000 men. The same thing would happen with
us it we yield, for to- complete, the -arrangement thitloo4ooo-
men with which we: are threatened would eitill enter Spain..
The invasion will be necessary to secure the concession. It
may he asked, what was the object of the occupation of the
kingdom of Naples ? . It was no other than that the new state
of things which was introduced should take the wished-for
course. Let us not fall into the snare that the enemies have laid
for us. To avoid it,l wish that the Government eliouldbe Tem:tired
to .state.to.morrow to the Cartes the peke to which it is in•
tended to remove,and besides to etcplain the measures which have
already been adopted tewarde accomplishing that removal. The
Secretary of State has informed us,thst since our decree was pass-
ed,circumstantes havevaried only by their becoming more 'tenons.
Private letters, public journals, and every means of obtaining
information, confirm this fact. Besides,. the French Govern.
meat is composed of persons who are committed td their pre:
tensions; and it it not possible that they can draw back. It is
not teibe supposed that the removal can take place as smoothly
as in former times, it was usual to make a journey to the plea-
sure palaces of Aranjuez or La Grange. But it is necessary to
employ precaution and dispatch. In _conclusion, 1 wish that
the Cortes should admit the proposition which has been made
in this form--name!', that to-morrow the Secretaries of State
shall appear in the Cortes, to name the place fixed on by his
Majesty for the site of the Government and the Cortes and to
explain the measures already taken for ei. !I removal. With this
modification I approve of the proposition, but.l trust above all
things that precious time will not be lost. .
Senor Canga.---I perfectly concur with what his been said
by the foregoing speaker on the subject of exciting the zeal
of the Secretaries who arc about to cease in their junctions,
in order that they may to-marrow indicate to the Cortes the
place to which his Majesty thinks proper to be removed.
Let us not deceive ourselves ; the moment that each of those
Secretaries reads the memorial of his department, he is no longer
Secretary.; and I think the welfare of the country requires that
they should continue in their offices until they are replaced, so
that they may be responsible for their operations. For the same
reason it would be proper to suspend the reading a such me-
morials, which would be useless and even ridiculous in the pre-
sent circumstances i, otherwise we shatild fall into the snare
.which. has been laid for us. The Secretary of State who would
seed kis memorial, as soon as the reading is concluded, will de.
scend from the Tribune, and return to his house a private ci-
tizen ; and it is our duty to consider whether, if this suspension
of the Government should take place, the Government and the
Cortex would be placed in a secure position. I therefore con-
cur with the opinion of Senor Arguelles, entreating the Cortes -
that the reading of the memorials of the different departments of
the Ministry he suspended. ..
The Secretary for the Home Department---The prevent Se-
cretaries of State, who have the honour to preserve their charac-
ter as such, will not fail to take proper measure to realize the
wishes of the Cortes respecting. the removal of themselves and.
the Government to a secure point ; doubtless they believe that
Senor Arguelles, whose proposition is distinguished
not by every
feeling oteustice and love towards the country, will require
them finally to discuss tomorrow the question of the designa.
tion of a point for that removal, but merely that they should.
give an account of their operations.
Senor Arguelles—The Cortes have left to his Majesty the
free choice of the point to which the removal is to be effected.
We are bound to he consistent, but it is tit that the Secretaries
of State should persuade and convince his Majesty, by all pos-
sible means, of the necessity of calming the public anxiety,
and more particulary that of the national representation, by ini-
mitliately, determining on a suitable place. lam confident that
his Majesty will give to the Cortes this new proof of his with
to maintain the dignity
.of die throne. I think that the Cortes
may use that kind of vigour which their powers give them, to
intimate to the Government that it is indispens.o)ly necessary
that his Majesty should be counselled, to determine immediate-
ly upon the removal, and to fix on a place.
The Secretary for the Home Deparnnent—The Government
has protested that as long as the individuals who compose it
-shall retain the, character of Secretaries of State, they will em.
ploy all the means in their power to convince his Majesty.
They will persuade him, urge. him, and point out to him the
justice, nece -ity, and propriety of the removal in question ; but
toreply precisely as to the point to be fixed on cannot be done
at present. They will give an .account of the result 9f their ap-
plications. .
Senor Canga.—l perceive Chat the Secretary of State wishes to
give us, with- much delicacy, to understand that his Majesty
will find .some inconvenience or sonic difficulty in stating pre-
ciaely to what place the removal shall be effected. The Cortes
will consider this difficulty, and will approve or not, the propo-
sition which has been made. if it be approved, the Minister
Al explain to his Majesty that it Is absolutely necessary that
the particular place should be fixed on. The Secretaries of State
will, with the decorum and firmness which is necessary, pre.
.veil on his Majesty to abandon the unfortunate state of things
which surrounds him. 1 therefore insist that time reposition-
be:Wept:4'in the terms in which it was amended by Senor
'Arguelles. , ,
,
The subjeaseess then declared to be sufficiently discussed,
and the proposition of Senor Canga, as amended by Senor Ar.
.guelles, was unanimously adopted in the following terms e-s-
-' That the Government shall to-morrow inform the Cortes of
the place which hie Matestybas been pleased to point out for
the ,removal of the Government and the Cortes; and also of
the measures which have already been adopted for carrying the
removals into effect."
• CORTES; 'AIONDAY, MARCH 3.
The President announced that the order of the day was the
discitssion of the opinion of the Special Committee on the reply
that should be given to his Majesty's Speech.
. The minute of the reply having been read,
Senor Ruiz de la Vega—l conceive the present to be afl
opportunity of pointing out to the King, as was done by the
Vennanent Deputation, ;the necessity of confirming himself in
the sentiments which -were .expressed in his Speeds I have
another observation to make on this reply—namely, that since
in the Sitting.of yesterday, a discussion took place respecting
the removal of the Government in the present critical circum
stances, it appears to me that something more should be said
in 'the. paragraph on this point: I beg the Cortes will take
therm, observations into consideration. . .
Senor Arguelles.—The member who has justepoken, with
'the intention of making observations on the minute of the re-
pint) his Majesty, has skilfully introduced one of the most
delicate questions that can come tinder the consideration of the
Cones ; but lie cannot fail to know that the transcendent im-
portance of the subject alluded to demanded that the attention
of the Certes.should have been called' to it in a more determi-
nate
manner, instead of being introduced as an appendix to the
draught of the reply. The Cemmittee, who heel the honour of
Sdiewing up this draught, according to the principles followed
in all constitutional countriesi confined itself strictly to what
his Majesty thought proper, to say to the Cortes. Any
thing else would have been incongruous. Ilad the Cone.'
mince su gilded an idea similar to that expressed by the men.
ber who as last spoken, it would certainly have been re.
jected. In a former occasion, I stated my opinion that the
inconvenience alluded to by the last speaker is one that is
experienced in all constitutional governments. Kings are
men, and as such they ere subject both to good and bad
impressions; but to obviate this evil, fundamental laws are
established, which are Calculated to counteract the terrible in-
fluence of evil Counsellors. The member who last spoke said,
In the discussion of yesterday, that the Cortes, losing sight of
every external cause that might retard the measure which they
propose to carry into effect, adopted a measure which was more
constitutional and more conformable with the principles of a
moderate Monarchy, and they expressed to his Majesty their
'sentiments and wielies throtigh the medium of hist Secretaries of
State. This was an efficacious mode of proceeding ; and the
Member who spoke lest will agree with me, that if his feats
should prove to have any foundation, the Cortes will avail
'themselves of another measure similar ,to that of yesterday.—
Besidee, to introduce a clause, however delicate, would, I
think, be inappropriate; and therefore I hope that a proposition
which seems likely to alter the very spirit of the reply will not
be insisted on. With regard to the clause concerning the removal
which the foregoing apeaker wishes should be tidtkd to the
draught,.•it appeers to me that on a perusal of the paragraph
relating to tins subject, he cannot fail to be satisfied with
it. Supposing the Committee were to extend the draught
in the manner suggested, as they cannot be supposed to
know any thing of the discussion of yeeterday, the clause
would ?teem to have been added by a sort of inspirit.
tion. (Here the Speaker read the paragntph from the
draught of the reply, and then continued). It is evidently front

thi; clause, that whatever may be his Majesty's determination
on this point, it cannot fail to be conformable with the wishes
of the Cortes, who keep the door open for any resolution on the
subject. I also affirm, that whatever may be the point to
which his Majesty may propose to move, the Cortes which is
assembled have it in their power again to call the attention of
Government, though the naiad of the removal is not now fixed,
and is not easy tote determined on. I conclude by repeating,
that whatever may be his Majesty's resolution, this paragraph
is suited to present eircumstances.
The subject was declared to be sufficiently discussed. The
Cortes cams to a vote on the draught of the reply to his Majes-
ty's speech, which was unanimously approved.
Several -other resolutions were proposed, relative .to Mea-
sures for repelling the invaders, and they were referred to par.
ticular committer.
The Secretariat of State being in. 'attendance, a ".I)aPrr
delivered . in by the Secretary tor the Home Department
WAS read, in which it was stated, that his Majesty having
been informed of the dispatch of the Secretarka of the
Cortes, in which was communicated to the Government
the resolution adopted yesterday, in order to the • Cortes
obtaining information of the point. to which the GoVern-
ment was to be removed, and having heard the opinion of '
the Council of State, his Majesty had been pleased to appoint
the city of Seville as du place to which the .removal is to be
effected ; ordering at thesame time, that the Government do
issue the necessary orders for the security of the journey, and
also for establishing military 'pails, and for seeing that the
towns to be passed through shall be furnished with provisions
and means of transport; and also that the moat convenient
edifices be allotted ter the occupation of his Majesty, the Royal
Family, and the Congress; the Government ,collecting the
sums necessary for defraying the expenses required-for all time
purposes.
The communication was laid on the table.
'On the motion of Set-sr Romero,.the opinion of the Junta of
Officers consulted on the removal was read.
Senor Argnelles.—l presume that the Cortes will he satisfied
with the reply that has been given to his Majesty's Speech; at
least lam so. It certainly appears to me, that it would be
proper,-in order to facilitate the necessary arrangenunts for the
removal of . the Government, that the President and the four
Secretaries should be authcrited to form themselves into a
special Committeeto settle all that may be-necessary for the
said removal. I would also wish that this Committee, excited
solely by its steal, should make a report of the measures that
may be adopted on this subject. In this manner I conceive the
object of the Cortes will be completely accomplished, and I
shall waken formal proposition on this point.
CORTES, TUESDAY, il/Anen 4.
A communication from the Secretary of State for Grace and
Justice, informed the Cortes that his Majesty continued indis-
posedly the gout, ,and that her Majesty the Queen was more
relieved from her spasms.—No business of importance oc-
curred in this Sitting.

BEntw, Matto' 4.—The following facts wil
show. the state iifdisorder and anarchy which a

present prevails its. Spain :
Colonel (1? Schepeler, the late Prussian Charge d'Affaires at
Madrid, after having been furnished with the necessary. pass,

ports, quitted that capital on the 13th of January. He arrived

on the '2sth at Miranda, and at the moment when he was about

to enter an inn to repose, after the fatigues of the journey, his
carriage was surrounded by three Officers of the 2d Battalion
of Vittoria, and by the postmaster of Vittoria, who angrily de-
manded his passports. It was with difficulty that he succeded
in reaching a chamber, and he could not deliver himself from
the rude importunities of these persons, until he had shown Ills
passports to one of the Officers, whom .he considered to be au,
thorized to demand it. But they, nevertheless, remained . for
some time in front of the inn-and sang, in broad day, one of the
most offensive stanzas of the Trognlci. This scene was repeat-
ed twice shortly afterwards, amidst ftirious vociferation*, amongst
which were heard cries of " 'rite Constitution for ever!". and
" Death to the tyrants of Prussia and Russia!"
Colonel Schepeler thotight it advisable to give information
of these transactions to the Commandant of the fifth military
district of Vittoria, in order that measures might betaken to
protect him from similar insults during the remainder of his
journey. The Commandant made some vague excuses; but
he at the same time promised to ptinish the disturbers of order,
and offered the Charge d'Affaires au enscort, composed of a
sub-officer and eight horse soldiers. But these measures had
not the success which wits anticipated ; for M. de Schepeler
had scarcely arrived at Mondragon when the sentinel demand-
ed his passport, which, having obtained, he afterwards re-
fused to return, on the ground that it had undergone a correc-
tion at Vittoria. It was observed on the part of the Colonel,
that the correction could in no way weaken the validity of the
passport ; and after a short time a soldier came up, and in it loud
voice monicated an order, directing Col. Schepeler to ap7
pear before the Lieutenant. The Colonel very naturally refused to
obey this order on the ground that the.passport alrottled sufficient
information as to who he was. Soon oiler, Lieutenant Alex.
Robles, of the regiment of Batanios, appeared himself, and
threw the passport into the travelling chaise, exclaiming—
" You may be minister or any thing else you please, it signi-
fies little. Nobody commands here but myself: I-command
you to alight and to come to my house, otherwise you cannot
leave this place."
" Well, then," replied Col. de Schepeler, " I will remain
here."
" Take out the horses, then," said the officer, " and conduct
the traveller to the guard-house."
At this moment Colonel de Sehepeler recollected that the
Commandant at Vittoria had furnished him with an order
which enjoined all officers to protect him from the insults of the
people. Upon this paper being exhibited, Lieutenant Robles
said, in contemptuous tone— " This is another thing ; now you
mdepart."
• Colonel de Schepeler observed, in the mildest manner possible,
that the Lieutenant might have spared his ofl'ensive conduct to-
wards him ; upon which the Lieutenant exclaimed—" Carako!
(a gnats insult in Spanish) ; if yeti do not hold your tongue; I
will salute you with four muskets. lam a Spanish officer and
a Liberal. Ido not care,for any ambassador, and if yottsay
another word. I will cause you to he shot."
After this violent burst, Colonel de Schepeler obtained pet-
mission to proceed on his way. One of his carriages was, how-
ever, again stopped, at a post station of Mondragon, and was
not suffered to proceed until after much debate.
The escort which had been given to the Charge d'Affaires at
Vittoria was of no service to him whatever, for he did not dare
to oppose the Lieutenant. The passport was no longer of any
assistance, and it wrs only to the express direction of the Com-
mandant at Vittoria that he was finally indebted far the liberty
of proceeding.
