1rn07.1 EL ES PECTADOR.I
REPRESENTATION OE THE MEMBERS OF A PA

TRIOTIC Cl UB- I'HE CITY' OF VALLADOLID

AND -or OTIIER CITIZENS TO THE KING OF

SPAIN.

Stnn,.—The undersigned citizens think that the time is
arrived in which their sacred duty of looking not less to the
safety of the State than to the:t of-your Majesty, authorizes them
to speak a language which, far from being deficient in respect,
ie. the sincere expression of the most ardent patriotism, and the
warmest affection to the person of your _Majesty. Individual
petitions ageinst'a particular abuse of power ought not in the
present moment to be the object of'the declaration of free citi-
zens to your Nia;esty. Such declarations have rained like dew
upon your palace, but they are either concealed from your view,
Or receive a sinister interpretation ; therefore they produce no
ether results than such es are contre.ry to expectation.
" The unforseen fall of Gen. Riego may be considered as the
exciting Ca,lS2; but it is not, in truth. the principal yor the sole
cause of this exposition: his hit, wbatevet it maybe, cannever be
indifferent to Spaniards who love:their 'country ; it is, if we
_ may use the expression, identified with the constitutional system,
and the whole nation- has fixed its, eyes on his prosperous or ad-
verse fortunes. Pui-lidtys Site, is the spul of representative go-
vernments; but although it were not so, neither justice nor policy
would advise that the violent measures of' Government should be
covered with the veil cf mystery, which,- althOugh they affect
one individual only at first.. may- in time compromise, as they
teally- heive coMpromised, the piiblic tranquillity. Let his crimes
therefore be declared, if in truth he has been so misled.
as to make an attempt againschis country ; and-let the sword
of the law fall upon his -head, exhibiting before. the face
of neighbouring nations an aet :of justice, which will at once
Co hononr-to the Spanish name, anti to' the sacred code of our
liberties. 'tut if, as it is to be hoped, and as it has happened,
not for the first time, that he sheeild'turn 'out to be innocent,
what iefererice are We to. draw frOiii his dismissal, which, al-
though-it is in the powerof your Majesty to order, ought not to
be effected by mere dislike or caprice? The only inference is,
that it has
.been the work of the same. hand from which pro-
cee6a- the Uni-tist attempts conimitted doily by thoSe who held
the reirs4oAverrinient.-.-that it has coincided with the peculiar
tendency and sinister- end with which repeated appointments
have been made and are making to the first offices, in the per.
sons amen the most unfit for such, situations and disaffected to
the present order of things--that efforts are made to oppose ti e
spirit. of plosuliberal institutions by. which ,e are governed, in
order that under their shade past evils may be perpetuated. On
any other supposition, how can we explain the conduct of the
Council of State, which, since the persons employed in the admi-
nistration of justice were suspended by the Cortes, with the in-,
tention that,passing through the ordeal of examination;only such
should be nominated- as are truly worthy of occupying poets so

important, has them all indiscriminately, and without
consideration of what repeated decrees had provided? This
4jire7 j. 2 you will permit the expression, to give the INrational
Congress a slap in thc.face, and to place yourself in diScordance
whh its deliberations, in order to paralyze the majestic and
tranquil progression which we have promised ourselves from a
chanie of 'Government without convuision-J. Such may be said
of that `of i'llePublican faction, Which has been sa often and
90 vainly dec lared,andthe assertion of which doubtless has no other
object than to impose Upon the unvtary, to intimidate the weak,
and to kindl. the fire of discord which. burns and consumes
us. All these, Site, ara.direcipintS against the Constitution
plots and .machinatiOns cOnceived.pe.rleaPs in the wretched clubs
of a foreign policy, and seconded by those who have acquired
an ascenilanefover the Meek anddocile -heart of yOur Majesty.
Those persobs have endeavoured to-Jear up the constitution
from the.SY4nishweil, bUt it is fitruly rooted in the hearts ofmore
than two Miltit;iks;:fpaniards resolute and decided, and can only
be rooted out fr;oin Spain. along with them. Such measures, Sire,
conduct us "directly to a rivolution which has not yet begun.---to a
revolution horrible to name, the epitome of all thecalamities of
the-human race. Iforrible andibloody :W0i4.1 it be, since the Li-
berales of Id2l are not like those 0f.1814 ; and what would be its
con.sequer.ces ? We trernhfc when we cont2rnplate them !
like tempests, discharge their power preferably upon
the most elevated points: What, then, would become of the se-
cred p='son of your ;Majesty :Who could answer for it then?.
It is sacred and inviolable,-Sire; but that inviolability is not
like that of the Alps and the PyrennLTS. can only beeffec-_
tive unde.r the shade of law and order. In a revolution all things
are overthrown. In the same revolution died the just Louis
XVI., and Le monster BObespierre. rte must speak plainly,
Sire, since perhaps this is the only time for doing it. The persorr
of your NI ajesty is sac-zed and iniinTable; .but a.s. long as that.
great charter which secures you thatpreromtive is egablished, as.
tong as Spain contains- tine enemy 'of: th at charter, it behoves you
to act as if your inviolability did. not exist. By any other
conduct your Majesty Will at every step be surprised, and ex.
posed to a precipie What is worse, ierhatis, ignorance and
malevolence will attribute to your Majesty torte plots of foreigners.
Far, Sire, from your petitloners be the idei that you-r Majesfy
can be the least involved in these plots; but, Sire, you are the
image, and there will not'be wanting ignorant men who will im-
pute to you the faults of your priests, as thousands have imputed
to our holy religion the vices of whidh they themselves were

.guilty. Preiter-ve, tlietefore, your precio-ls life. - Proieive the
vessel of the state, which is on the point of foundering. - Be
a King for once. Place yourself at the head of that great na-
tion which, loving your Majesty with the greatest affection, de-

serves in return the peace and the happinesi for ithlen it sighs.
By not enjoying
.those blessings at present, its memberi
tremble and threaten arcomplete dissolutiQn by not has ing e
joyed them in the year 1314, you• weremade to-appear a horrible
monster of ingiat4ude ;. by not having enjoyed then' for t'le
last six years,- you• have been the object of attack among fo-
reigners,-andof compassion among tho sound part Of your own
subjects; and, finally, by not now enjoying them, you appear
under constraint while performing an act the greates'..:,- the most
spontaneous, and the most worthy of your megnanimous heart.
Bea King, Sire, we repeat, and whilst the greatest and the best
of men desire not to play the least part in the-history of Kings.

" Condescend, Sire, to accede to the wishes of your falthful
subjects, who thus supplicate you, and who incessantly pray to

the Almighty to preserve the life of your 'Majesty through a long

course of years for the good of the Monarchy.

SOLEM QUIS DICERE FALSUM

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1821.

The French Papers of Saturday and Sunday
arrived at a late hour this morning. They bring
accounts of fresh successes obtained by the
Greeks at sea and on land.—Advices from
Trieste, Genoa, and Frankfort concur in stating
that a decisive action has been fought between

the Greek fleet and the united fleets of Turkey
and Egypt, in the waters of Rhodes, which ter-
minated in the total destruction and capture
of the combined fleet, with the exception
of two Turkish vessels, which have fled in the
direction of Egypt, but are pursued by the
Greek ships, which are better sailers, and will
give no doubt a good account of them. In the
Morea the fortresses of 'Fripolizza, Mouembasia,
and Neocastra, have surrendered to the Greeks.

Twelve thousand muskets and a great quantity
of ammunition . were found - in the second of
these :fortresses. The successes obtained by
MIyOXET- PACHA in Livadi;l. have been of
short duration, for it appears his troops have
been complete!y beaten and dispersed. The
Turks have evacuated Thessalia, their bad- suc-

Bess in :which province and in Macedonia, have
given serious alarm to: the Ottoman Porte ; so
Much so that :certain reinforcements destined
for Moldavia have' been " ordered to march
to that quarter. The-Prince CANTAcuzEsAlhas
. .
joined the Greek array besieging Patras; and the
Chief of the insurgents,MAnnocono.ki.o, the Cifs
stendant of an ancient Greek family, and ‘s ho
distinguished himself in Epirus, has been acknow-
ledged by the Greeks as their Commander in

Chief in that province.—It is reported that a
personage of distinction belonging to the Ca-
binet of Berlin, is about to proceed to St.
Petersburg with dispatches of the highest
Importance, said to he relative to: the at*,
fairs' of Turkey. It would seem by the ac-
.
counts in these papers, that Prussia and Russia
mean to act in concert, and that in case of war
the Porte, Russia will observe an armed
neutrality. The decision of• the iluestiou pend-
ing. between- Russia -and Turkey is still as re-
mote as-ever; for the Russian GOveinm.ent, while
it expresses its satisfaction on several points, such
as the raising of the embargo, the re-establish-
ment of the free passage of the Dardanelles,
insists -in the most formal 'manner on - more

precise and categorical answers respecting many
other subjects, which Are not sufficiently ex-
plained in the note transmitted by the Ottoman
Government. It appears, that this new declara-
tion-.has been delivered to the Baron DE LEBZEL-
TEnN; the Austrian Ambassador at Petersburg,
for transmission to Vienna, in order that it may
be delivered to the Porte through M. DE "JUT'
zow, the Austrian Internuncio at Constantinople.
This document has been accordingly forwarded to
the latter Alinister.—The intelligence respecting
the yellow fever in Spain is in some respects more
consolatory. Letters from Barcelona of the 15th
state, that the atmosphere had been cooled by a
gentle rain, and that hopes were entertained the
violence of the fever would be abated. Barcelona
is surrounded by a cordon, which prevents the
departure of any, of the inhabitants from that city.
Nothing certain is known respecting the number
of victims in the town, but at Barcelonetta from
12 to 15 are carried off' daily. Advices from
Lyons of the 25th say,lbat news has just arrived
that all the sick at Marseilles are convalescent,
and that no new-.cases had occurred. The Moniteur
contains a Royal ordinance regulating the mea-
sures to be adopted an the frontiers to prevent
the entrance into Prance of any persons from
Spain who are not furnished with certificates of
health. The execution of these measures is ri-
gidly enforced, and gives us every reason to hope
that this destructive malady will not be dissemi-
nated in France.
