have burdened my heart with sorrow, I had no other console.
eien than that of addressing myself to the (ladd mercy, to itu.
pion his clemency in favour of my family and subjectd—.7two
ob)ects of my paternal solicitude. It was necessary to this
effect that I should avail myself of the spiritual aid of a Di-
rector equally estimable for his virtues as for his talents and
prudence ; and having found ell these qualities combined in
the person of Don Victor Sacs, Theological Canon of the Ca-
*wind 'of Toledo it vas my pleasure to nominate hint my Con.
-I:±Mor. But God, who was not appeased by all the sorrows
*Mb which I WAS overwhelmed, willed that hefere the end of
tiled year above noted, I should be separated from him, and this
-equation was the more painful, on account of the proofs which
he had given of his fidelity, even at the risk of his life. Re..
domed nowto libetty and my rights of sovereignty, it is my
easure to recall him near my' penein, by appointing him, and
'pl
I do hereby appoint him my Confessor : this nomination;

sot principal Secretary of State. and Dispatches, it being my will
-to aontinue him in the functions of that office. And I transmit
fhii decree to your Exeelleney, that you may have knowledge
'thereof for your guidance and satisfaction.
