PROCLAMATION OF DON CARLOS.

" How painful to my heart was the death of my
beloved brother. In the midst of my atliction and
grief, I had at least the consolation to know that he
existed, for I set the highest value on his preserva-
tion. Let us pray the Almighty to make him parti-
cipate in his holiness and glory, if he has not already
been admitted into that eternal and happy abode.

" lam not ambitious of the throne, and would
refrain from prosecuting with ardour any of the goods
of this perishable world ; but religion and the ac-
complishment of the fundamental law of the suc-
cession, and the special obligation I am under to de.
fend the imprescriptible rights of my sons, and my
other beloved relatives, compel me to support and
defend the Crown of Spain, of which an attempt
has been made to deprive me, by an illegal process,
destructive of the law, which ought to remain sacred
arid unaltered.

" After the fatal moment of the demise of my
beloved brother, I conceived that the necessary mea-
sures to have me proclaimed and recognised would
be instantly taken ; and if until that moment any
one who should have dared to attempt it might de-
servedly be considered as a traitor, I will now hold
as such all who shall not join my standard, and, in
porticular,thc Conora/o, nvarylorc, and 011 tho othor
civil and military authorities, who should not ra:ly
round me, when the Almighty shall think proper to
lead me back to my beloved country, to preside
over those who shall be faithful to my cause. I

recommend union, peace, and charity-. I abhor the
very thought that Spanish Catholics, who love me,
should kill, injure, plunder, or commit the least ex-
cess. Order is the first end of justice ; it is the re-
compense of the good and of their sacrifices, and
the punishment of the wicked and their impious
sectarians, before God and before the laws. Thus
may be accomplished the object I have so long de-
sired.

(Signed) " CARLOS ISIDRO DE BOURBON.

" Abrarteß, Oct. 1, 1833."

Our intelligence from Spain, on the whole, bears
out the opinions conveyed in the early part of this
letter. Navarre is still in arms. On no known
point has the rebellion been so completely crushed
as to remove fears of its again raising its head if
opportunity occur, while in many other places re-
volt is hourly occurring. A battle took place at
Quinta la Valle, within three leagues of Burgos,
between the troops coming from Madrid and the
Carlists, in which many lives were lost, but without
other result, each party, after the termination of the
conflict, remaining in its position.
The Funds are fluctuating, but rather looking
down.

One word more. The English courier said by
the Journal dc Paris to have arrived at Bayonne,
with despatches dated Madrid 16th instant, is, I
am assured, he who was the bearer of those re-
ceived here o►► Friday last, and dated only on the
12th inst. Marshal Soult is said again to have
prevailed in Council, and that, conic qui conk,
Queen Isabella the Second will be supported by
France.

The Swiss Diet adjourned on the 15th instant,
previous to which it addressed to the confederate
Cantons the following Proclamation : _ _

" Confederates—When the late events of the
cantons of Basle and Schwytz required, now scarcely
aix weeks since, the Confederation to interfere in an
energetic and prompt manner, the Diet hastened to
adopt the measures necessary to restore legal order
in those countries, and save the Republic from in-
calculable evils.

The Diet then placed its reliance on you, Con-
federates, and repeatedly called upon you strenuously
to support its efforts. You attended to that appeal.
At the first intimation thousands of citizen soldiers
left their peaceable homes to join the standards.
The noblest success crowned their efforts. The
Cantons of Basle and Schwytz, extricated from
their sad condition, now enjoy the blessings of peace,
which they were so long deprived of. The Sarnen
League, which made so much noise, and was con-
trary to the federal pact, is dissolved.
" The different members of the Confederacy are
again represented by their delegates in the Diet.
The Confederacy has incontestibly preserved, both
at home and abroad, that power which is the sure
guarantee of its liberty and independence.
" Such are, Confederates, the results of your
conduct and efforts. The truly patriotic spirit you
evinced in those circumstances has brought about that
happy event, and averted the greatest misfortunes.
" The deputies of the Cantons deem it a most
imperious duty on their part, at the moment of se-
parating, to tender you, Confederates, their sincere
thanks, in the name of the country.
" Those thanks, valiant soldiers, are particularly
addressed to you. You have acquired imperishable
rights to the gratitude of your fellow-countrymen.
The promptitude with which you answered the call,
thea discipline you observed, your calm behaviour,

prosperity, and additional power to the confedera-
tion. Rely on your respective Governments, and

tution.

" Without order liberty is impossible; without
liberty Switzerland cannot be happy.
" May God grant his blessing to all of us and to
our beloved country !
