VEGA AND OLIVER, MEMBERS OF VIE CORTES,

NOW IN THIS COUNTRY.
The sudden disiolution of the Constitutional
Government of Spain, and the entrance of the
French army into Cadiz without the effusion of
blood, are events which too deeply interest the
friends of liberty, not to render them anxious to
obtain a correct account of the causes which led
to such a lamentable result, and to be enabled to
form a just opinion of the conduct of the persons
who took part in the preceding transactions.
Unfortunately, these things have hitherto re•
mained unknown. Imposture and calumny have
been employed in fabricatiog accounts which are
regarded as authentic. The character of the
Spanish Cortes has been unjustly blackened ; and
Deputies, worthy of the esteem of all who re.
spect virtue in misfortune, are exposed to bitter
censures, more sensibly felt by those honour-
able men than all the privations, afflictions;
and mortifications, which fate prepared for
them in the last moments of their political
career. The implacable enemies of the Con-
stitution were not satisfied with the rain and
the extermination of the Constitutionalists; they
wished to degrade and defame them, and to root
up the last seeds of liberty, by persuading the
people that its friends are wanting in every kind
of virtue. Force enabled them to interrupt the
communications with Cadiz before they obtained
their triumph ; and after it was obtained, being
masters of the press, and exercising a most
jealous police, they have taken care that the
truth should not be published, and their false
and calumnious statements disproved.
The moment is now arrived for removing the
dark veil woven by impostors. We shall exhibit
the facts as they actually occurred, and prove
the truth of our' statements by authentic docu-
ments ; and thus will the people of England,
and the lovers of freedom in all countries, be en-
abled to judge with impartiality of the men who
figured iii the late political revolution of Spain,
and, be induced to refrain from augmenting the
afflictions of those who did every thing in their
power to prevent, so fatal an issue.
It would be necessary to enter into much de-
tail, in order to explain the means employed to
ruin the Constitution in the space of three years
and a half, and to give a victorious refutation of
the opinion which supposes that the Spanish
people did not desire that system of liberty. Oc-
casions will not be wanting for undertaking this
task : at present it is sufficient to observe, that
in the year 1820 the Constitution was consoli-
dated in the course Of two months without resist.
ance, though the Serviles were then possessed of
all the power of the Government, and that to
destroy the Constitution it required all the gold
of the Holy Alliance, all the efforts of fanaticism,
a foreign army of 100,000 men, a six months'
campaign, and the defection of the principal
Generals to whom the defence of their country
and liberty had been intrusted.
We shall not dwell longer on this topic, but
proceed to our more immediate subject. The
occurrences of Seville are already well known—
those which gave occasion to the apathy of the
last Ministers, who, tolerated a similar apathy in
General Villacampa, notwithstanding the serious
remonstrances made by the Cortes in secret sit-
tings. It was found necessary to withdraw to
Cadiz ; and that measure was carried into effect,
contrary to the will of Ferdinand—a Regency
being created solely for the time of the removal.
The Cortes removed in the space of forty-eight
hours, and though the Deputies received no al-
lowance for their journey, and were exposed to
the most iniqiutous depredations, they re-assem.
bled to the number of 110, on the 113th of June,
and held a sitting, in consequence of which the
King was restored to the full exercise of his con.
stitutional powers. In order that the English
Government might not adopt an erroneous opi-
nion respecting the intentions of the Cortes,
intelligence of the King's restoration was imme-
diately transmitted by the Spanish Ministry to
the Ambassador of his Britannic Majesty, who
had stopped at Seville. Sir Wm. A'Court, how-
ever, did not repair to Cadiz—a circumstance
which gave encouragement to the supposition,
that from that moment the British Government
had broken off its friendly relations with Spain ;
and the prevalence of this opinion greatly aug.
mented the perilous situation of the Constitu-
tional Government. It is easy to conceive how
this occurrence must have had an extraordinary
influence, both in emboldening the Serviles, and
discouraging the Constitutionalists; more espe-
French had the power of ob-
cially when the
structing all communications throughout the
country, and could give to this event whatever
colour might best suit their purpose. We shall
abstain from further comment, and lay before the
reader, in No. 2, the explanatinits given by his
Britannic Alajesty's Minister on this point.
It was of immense importance to the mainte-
nance of public spirit, and the defence of the
sacred cause of liberty, that the British Govern.
ment, sincetit took no direct part in the support
of that cause, should continue its good offices
for the re-establishment of peace on reasonable
and honourable terms, and that the conduct of
its Minister should not afford ground for inter-
unfavourable to the Constitutional
Government : for this reason the accompan) ing
note, No, 3, was 011 the 20th July addressed to
the Ambassador. Neither this note, nor others
more energetic and expressive, which were after-
wards me.
dispatched, expressly soliciting the e. I

Afterwards, on the 23d, the French squadron
stood in to attack Cadiz, sending a-head a sleep
which threw twelve-pound bombs, 11 tartans
and bomb-vessels, which fired nine-pound gre-
nadeg, and 13 gun-boats, carrying 36-pounders.
They had in reserve '2O other armed vessels to
support the combat, and their whole fleet, with
troops for disembarkation, was in motion. It is
impossible to describe the valour and enthusiasm
which were on this occasion. disP,lBYed by the
