" lombitants of Barcelona—Some misled men, Whom it is
Itecessary to reduce to inaction, -wished the day before yesterday
to disturb the public tranquillity, by making use of means
which taev,:r can have is good result. However strong in the
prutidaeu and firmness which belong to my character, well con-
, vineed .of that i:npotency, I sparea them until the moment
when I recd fluid the necessity of the severe precautions which
were adopted yesterday, and which justice. authorised.
tonal tants of Bareclona--I urn satisfied with your con-
duct, and I hope, for the same reason, that you will conlide
nntie. Events are becoming of a natureM which

well tintierstood interest of the country.
" My gratitude to the inhabitants of this fine city will dic-
tate the Ittemoomrl which 1 6311 adopt, even to the forgettin
thing
of
myself, if that 'be necessary ; since in the end every ng
perishes except actions directed by that prudence, which, while
I exist, shall- ever serve me as my rule. Tranquillity, union,
and con4cience in the authorities, are what I expect, and what
I will exact. You will afterwards judge whether your fellow-
citizen and General has, in the present crisis, ceased to fulfil
Ids most 6.llCred duties.
