SPAIN.

GENERAL ORDER OF THE DAY.

The Secretary of State for the War Department, and
Commander-in-Chief to the Army of Operations and

Reserve :

" Soldiers,—Selected by the august Queen Regent to
place myself at your head, it becomes my duty to express
to you the sentiments of satisfaction I feel in seeing myself
for the second time among you, and upon the same theatre
where I have so frequently witnessed your noble sacrifices.
" In the midst of the regret which the continuance of this
desolating war creates in the breast of every good Spaniard,
I have observed with delight the good spirit you are ani-
mated with, your proofs of valour, and the perseverance
with which you have undergone the fatigues and sufferings
imposed on you by your defence of the just rights of your
beloved Queen, with which are connected others so dear to
your country, and on which depends its happiness, prospe-
rity,. and liberty.
" The august Queen Regent, desirous of manifesting to
you, by all the means in her power, how highly she esteems
your distinguished services, has invested me with the most
ample authority for recompensing them as they deserve, and
as their importance demands. Nothing will be more agree-
able to me than to fulfil these sentiments of the Royal
goodness, by conferring rewards and offering incentives to
valour and to talent ; and the more honours that are gained
by military merit, render it the more worthy of the Royal
bounty, and of the gratitude of the whole nation.
" As a step to the fulfilment of this object, I hereby
make known—

" 1. Every officer of the army of operations, who, previous
to the Ist of January of the current year, has served on this
side of the Ebro, who has given proofs of steady conduct,
perseverance, and assiduous attention to his duties in the
field, and who has received neither rank nor promotion
during the whole period, will obtain the rank next above
he is not already in the enjoyment of a rank
superior to that in wiiici: be is employed. In that
event he will be preferred for the next service.
" 2. All the cadets •and first sergeants, who have per-
formed the same service, will be promoted to the rank of
sub-lieutenants, subject to the same circumstances as are
expressed in the preceding article.

" 3. All the ()dicers of the garrison of Olazagoitia and
Rlaestu will receive the Order of the Cross and of Fernando
of the second class, and all the privates of the same will
receive that of Isabel 11., without prejudice to other re-
wards to which, by the two preceding articles, or by other
services rendered, they may be entitled.
" 4. Those soldiers who have served out their time, be-
sides receiving their free discharge, and their pay and allow-
ances due to them at the conclusion of the campaign, will
be preferred by their removal to other stations, conformably
to their particular circumstances. Those will likewise ob-
tain their full discharge who have yet two years of service
to conclude their term ; and those who are still further
from its completion, though they should have served but
one year, ill receive their full discharge a year after the
conclusion of the campaign—a period considered necessary
for the raising of the new levy, and placing the recruits on
a footing of effective service.
" Soldiers,—lt is needless to inform you that the hand
which rewards the valour, the enterprises, and the sacrifices
of the warrior, will chastise severely their omissions in su-
bordination and discipline, and will be inexorable in regard
to other faults which I shall not enumerate—a stain to a
profession of which valour is the basis, and perseverance un-
der sufferings the indispensable requisite.
" Companions in arms,—The Queen Regent, the entire
nation, expect that we should bring to as speedy a conclu-
sion as possible a destructive war which compromises so
many sacred interests. Your firmness and patriotism in-
spire me with a well-grounded confidence of fulfilling the
wishes of all who love legitimacy and justice, and feel an
interest in the progress of true liberty—the indispensable
condition of civilization and intelligence.

,c PROCLAMATION.

" Inhabitants of Navarre and of the Biscayan Provinces,
—Her Majesty the Queen Regent, in the name of her il-
lustrious daughter and our Legitimate Queen, Donna

Isabella 11., has been pleased to confide to me the general
direction of all the forces destined for the pacification of
your country, and of those which support them in
Arragon and Castile. My mission is essentially pacific,
and on you alone it depends whether or no it ceases to have
this character. Her Majesty deplores the calamities which
now afflict you, and sees with profound grief your plains de-
luged with your blood, the ruin of your possessions, the de-
vastation of your hearths. It is necessary, it is absolutely
indispensable for your own advantage, and for the tranquil-
lity of the whole nation, of which you form but a small por-
tion, that this cruel and fratricidal war should terminate at
once and for ever—a war which has been lighted up amongst
you by some ill-disposed persons, in whose estimation your
utter destruction is as nothing compared with what gratifies
their ambition, and satiates their appetite for blood and
rapine. It is indispensable, I repeat, that this unfortu-
nate war should be brought to a conclusion, in order that
those days of peace and happiness may return which
you enjoyed before perfidy and treason deprived you of
them. Such, inhabitants of Navarre and of the Biscayan
provinces, is the noble task which her Majesty has confided
to my care, and which I will perform at all risks. Known
to you in former times, you are able to judge, by experi-
ence, of my humanity and indulgence ; but though I shall
ever endeavour to follow the natural impulses of my heart,
I also know how to sacrifice them, resolutely, to the duties

imposed upon me, by the mission with which I am charged.
" Her Majesty, in her infinite clemency, grants a full and
free pardon, and places from henceforward under the pro-
tection of the laws and of the authorities charged with
executing them, all, without distinction of class or persons,
who within the term of fifteen days shall abandon the ranks
of rebellion, and present themselves armed to the chiefs
commanding the divisions, brigades, and corps, which com-
pose the army of operations, or to the commanders of the
garrisoned points ; and her Majesty also exempts from cor-
poral punishments prescribed for the crime of rebellion, all
who shall verify their appearance unarmed before-the above
mentioned authorities.

' " Her Majesty hopes that the parents, wives, relations,
and friends of those whom compulsion or seduction may
have brought into the ranks of the rebels, will hasten to
communicate to them this first trait of her maternal solici-
tude, and to induce them not to disregard this last oppor-
tunity of saving themselves which is now afforded them,
and her Majesty does not doubt that the inhabitants will
act in a like manner, and show their gratitude by a *lump
of conduct. But if unhappily this change does not take
place within the period above prescribed, I hereby declare,
in the most positive manner, that I shall deliver up to the
flames, without any reservation whatever, all the towns of
such vallies as serve for the ordinary refuge of the rebels,
and in which they find resources and a criminal reception,
respecting, nevertheless, the persons and property of the in-
habitants, who shall have shelter and security if they with-
draw to the towns in which there are garrisons, or to the
pacified provinces. This measure is painful, but when the
welfare of the country is at stake, the sentiments of huma-
nity must be silent. The burning of Moscow was the sal-
vation of Russia.
I bring to you, then, inhabitants of Navarre and the
Biscayan provinces, pardon and peace, or punishment and
extermination. The alternative depends on yourselves. If
emancipated from the illusions with which the enemies of
your true felicity have deceived you, and, listening no
longer to their voice, you reject their perfidious instiga-
tions, and join me with good faith in promoting the same
establishment of legal order and obedience to the laws in
your country as exists in all the rest of the monarchy, you
will find in me a friend, a protector, and in every soldier
serving under my command a defender. If, on the con-
trary, you continue in your fatal blindness, and reject the
words which, in the name of the Queen our Sovereign, I
address to you in anxiety for your prosperity and future
welfare, I will be inflexible in my duty, and will omit no
means of fulfilling it, however rigorous it may be. Attend
not to the vain hopes with which they delude you, who

seek to build their own fortunes on your ruin. Turn your
eyes to the other provinces which in the Peninsula and be-
yond the sea compose the vast Spanish monarchy, and you
will perceive what tranquillity and what new life they enJO
under the beneficent Government of our legitimate Queee,
—a happy state,-guaranteed by the union of dispositions,
against which it is madness to suppose that your peg!
efforts can prevail. Cease, then, this struggle, which 1.
alike unequal and disastrous for you. The nations ot
Europe behold it with horror and indignation, and interest
themselves in its prompt termination ; and the most power-
ful and influential, such as France and England, have
joined themselves to the just cause of the Queen, our So-
vereign, by treaties, the most frank and solemn, which theY
are resolved irrevocably to maintain. The benignity of ber
Majesty is your sole resource : depend on it with confidence.
I offer it you sincerely in her Royal name.
