tributed on the preceding evening. It was the particular wish
of the Pope that the expellees incidental to the illuminating of
the dome and girandole should on this occasion, 40 approprist-
ed, to the purports of benevolence.
Al sight o'clock in the morning the. Cardinals repaired
to the Robing Room, where the Pope arrived half an hour
after. Cardinals Rufl'o and and Qonsalvi then took from His
Holiness the lawn-sleeves and paltium, and attired him In hie
pontifical vestments. His Holiness then proceeded to the
Ducal Hall, whence he was carried to his Throne by twelve
men clothed and armed in the ancient style. Before the Car-
dinals were the assistant Prelates of. the Pontifical Throne in
procession, next the Prelates of 1.. a Rata and St. Peter, then
the Prothonotaries, His Holiness's Chaplains and the Officers
of his Clurt.

splend!d procession at length reached the immense
Portico of the Basilic of St.. Peter, where a temporary throne
was erected which faced the Sacred.Oatt. Opposite the throne
were the seats prepared for the Cardinals.-
The Pope being seated, Cardinal Gatlin requested that ►irs
Holiness would admit the Clergy to kiss his feet.
After this ceremony the procession entered the Basilic, and
the Pontiff was conducted to the Chapel of St. titegory, Where'
he was inverted with the pontifical ring by the Cardinal Dears.

proceeded to the Papal Chapel, underneath which was the
throne

The Chaplaiss and Non• Assistant Prelates walked first,
headed by a Greek Prelate, who was attended by Lis Dean and
Sub-Dean. One of the masters •f the Ceremonies burnt rk
lighted torch before the Holy Father, three times exclaiming—

'Men the Cutotteor was ended, the fret CA rdiruti Dean pre-
sented the pallitun to the Pope, saying—., .4.4 e palliain, ecitiot

Holy Father ascended his Throne, when one of the Outlined'
Deans sultninietervd the Sacrament to His Holiness in both

At the conelusion of Alms, the Holy realer ascended his
temporary Throne, when the Cardinal Arch-priest of St.
Peter presented to His Holiness a purse containing 28 pieces
of gold, according to the usage of antiquity, pro mina twos

Three jewelled mines were exhibited on the altaz doring
rnass, by the side of the Ooopol, and two tiaras I,y the situ or

" The Ayuntamiento of: the most noble and
most loyal city of Corunna, the capital of the
kingdom of Galicia, with a voice in Cortes, now
stOdress your Serene Highnesses, to.inake known
their own sentiment and the sentiments of their'.
habitasits of the town which they represent.
Wore than three years of oppression, and all the,
ctuel vexations experienced during the siege the.
Aims) has sustained, were incapable of stifling, or
,
even lessening their love for their religionand
their King. During the latter days of the siege,l
the peaceable inhabitants were exposed to every
kind of insult from the rebels. Exorbitant
exactions—excessive 'labour on the fortifications
—'-and, finally, a multitude or. assassinations, are
ttrebenefits conferred by the malignants ; but
these acts only rendered them greater objects of
abhorrence, without at all changing the sena,
ments of the Corunnians. It was surely by a
miracle that this...city. at length recovered its
liberty on the 21st day, having lost it on another
Est. Without doubt it was the pleasure of God
Almighty, that those chains Which were imposed
the anarchic faction on- the 21st of February
should be broken on the .21st of August. But
Ave,now breathe freely ; and to secure peace and
traoquillity, It is only requisite that the measures
necessary for exterminating the ominous sects,
and which prudence and the , general welfare
dictate, should be immediately adopted.
" Vain would be all that has been done, if, be-
cause the- "Ting.leaders of the mischief are put
down by'she armies of the Most Chriitian Louis
XVII Losofear were to be entertained for their far-
ther progress ; but as they never cease to conspire,
it is necessary to take proper precautions. Proud
and stiif.necked, they evert now return scorn for
the benignity' with which they have been treated ;'
read their audacity gives reason to apprehend that,
they nee meditating tire means of again involving,
us in ciSil war. Their hopes are founded on this"
?rind of Government which they openly preteed
is to be established, and which being in its as.
tore very much like that just destroyed, they
will find in it liberty, the inevitable cause (Amur
misfortunes. Therefore this Ayuntamiento hut-
ten to unite their voice to that of the magistracies
efio many other towns of Spainiin order to ma-
nifest their fidelity to the august captive Sove-
ulgo,:a.n&to,oppose every ,innovatiou, since by
innovations we have suffered so much.
" The rebels being compelled to, ha silent re-
specting their:Jecobin Code, still endeavoured
to bold up 'that kind of Government for which
one of the Secret Societies has
.greatly laboured
during this fatal period—that is to say, a Govern-
ment of.Charehers. Thus they mean to eesl;rre
us anew : tor that Government, being similar to
the one destroyed, they will in the end make it
the same... Thi.-y would cover • themselves with
the will of the nation; but that has been well
demonstrated. 'What did not the inhabitants of
the towns of Spain do, when the liberating army
entered? They were all eager to prestint.them-
skives before it, and to receive it with the joy of
captives relieved from dungeons ; and their ex-
pressions were• no other than these—' Live
gion I Live the King I and Live the Laws of
our Fathers I"rhese enchanting words succeeded
to.the 'highly seditious, which the perfidious men
eitployed during the period of their domination ;
and these words clearly prove that. the Spanish
people have no other wish than the: preservation
of their holy religion, the sovereignty of their
Lord Don Ferdinand VII., and the wise institu-
tions of their ancestors. Those who publish the
contrary are not ignorant of this, since to convince
them of it, it is, sufficient to refer. to the almost
innumerable representations On the same subject
troth the towns of Spain to your Serene nigh-

Ho des.
" Not only is the wish, hut the character and
the habits of the Spanish nation are also opposed
to such a Government. The seditious still have
arms in their heeds in various parts, which they
will have to surrender ou your orders ; but their
secret labours will last longer than their power,
since they have long been accustomed to ohey
those persons whom they consider authorised to
do every thing by the disorganizing principle of
the sovereignty of the people. %There never %sill
be an end to parties—hatreds will eterncily
exist, and Spanish blood will again be shed by
lipaniards, if there again be permitted the liberty
f public discussion in au assetrj)ly whence such
incendiary maxiriii flow, and iinstead of com-
pletely casting down the4ride of those whoseek
for our ruin, a new field shall be opened for their
isitrigoes.
" The habits4itit'd the inclinations, of the Spa-
nish people are in complete opposition to any
Government of this kind. Content to obey the
paternal regulations of their kings and lords,
they never wish to make laws, and we assert that
it would be to pervert them from their nature to
compel them to the contrarkpractice. The
people would become the speffl/of the rebels,
,
who, governing their popular eJections as the)
have already done, would without doubt labour'
directly to destroy the altar and the throne. The
Spaniards who propose chambers are evidently
enemies of both the altar and the throne ; for in
general they are the very souse men who shed
the blood of the Ministers of Heaven, and plun-
der its churches, What! is it possible that those
anarchists, those infamous demagogues, those per-
fidious men who have so often attempted the life
of their Sovereign, can remain unpunished, and
he allowed to mock upright and loyal Spaniards
G-od forbid 1 ,Corruption has penetrated every
glass to such a degree, that it is certain there
would be parties in both chambers; and we,

perhaps, should not be long in seeing some ma-
lignant deputy who would dare to say, 4 that the
intention of those whoconstructed the Jacobin code
was nothing else than to teach the_Spanish people
to behold with indifference a mosque erected by
the side of a church. Here the'freedom of Ctn.
toms and libertinism would be conapletely sants•
tioneti, 'but that is what would be above all
things most ithocking to the. Spanish character.
