MESSAGE. FROM HIS MAJESTY TO THE COUTES.

" It is with the most profound bitterness of heart that I have
learned the late events,at Cadiz, where, under the pretext of at-
tachment to the constitution, they have trampled it under foot,
by despising the rights which it vests in my person. I have
commanded my Secretaries of State to present to the Cortes the
details of so lamentable an event, in full confidence that they will
co-operate with energy, in concert with my Government,in taking
steps that the prerogatives of the crown, as well as public liberty
(which is one of their guarantees), may be preserved inviolate.
My desires are the same as those of the Cortcs—they have only
for their object the observation and consolidation of the
constitutional System ; but the Cortes know that the infractions
which Ministers may commit against the rights of the nation
arc as contrary to that system as are the excesses of those who
attack the rights which the Constitution has reserved to the
Throne. I hope, that in these solemn circumstances, the
Cortes will give to our country and to Europe, a new proof of
the spirit of conciliation which has always distinguished them ;
and that they will take advantage of the occasion now offered,
to contribute in the most efficacious manner towards the conso-
lidation of the Constitution of the Monarchy ; the advantages
of which cannot be experienced, anti which would even be ex-
posed to immediate ruin, if the evils which we now deplore be
not crushed in their birth.
(Signed) " FERDINAND.
" San Lorenzo, Nov. 1821."

After the reading of the above message, the Minister of War
addressed the assembly. He commenced by tracing the origin
of the unhappy events at Cadiz. On the 18th of October,
the Government appointed Lieutenant-General the Marquess
de la Reunion, a man well known for his devotion to the Con-
stitutional system, Commandant-General of that town, with
a view of thereby conciliating the spirit and promoting the
interests of its inhabitants. He had scarcely arrived there,
when they publicly evinced their dissatisfaction in so hostile
a manner, that that functionary was compelled to solicit his
retirement, in consequence of a declaration drawn up at a meet-
ing of the authorities of Cadiz, and despatched to the King, in
which they declared that they would not recognise him : they
added, that no cause of reproach existed against the Marquis,
but that they mistrusted all persons deputed by his Majesty.—
Baron Andilla had subsequently been appointed ; but his au-
thority had equally been defied, and he was 'breed to retire.
to Uretra. General Moreno, who had 'been nominated to
Seville, had also been met at Ecija by a deputation of the
inhabitants of that city, who engaged him to proceed no fur-
ther, as they were determined not to acknowledge his authority.
The Minister, in conclusion, regretted the imperfect manner
in which he had discharged the duty which devolved upon him
as a Minister, to detail these events. By profession a military
man, he was not able at any time to address such an assembly
with the necessary eloquence : but he assured them that, in dis-
charging so painful a task, he felt " more embarrassment than
he experienced at the battle of Toulouse."
A warm debate ensued ; Ministers were repeatedly attacked.
Finally, on the proposition of M. de Torrello, the King's mes-
sage was referred to a special commission.
Another commission was nominated, charged to propose to
the Cortes the measures which it might be expedient to adopt,
under existing circumstances.
The assembly was about to adjourn, when M. Calatrava, re-
porter of the special commission, appeared, and read the projet
of an address in reply to the King's .Message. It commences with
thanking his Majesty forhis confidence in the Cortes, and assur-
ing him of their faithful co-operation to maintain inviolate pub-
lic liberty and the royal prerogative ; and that . they will, with-
out delay, take his message into consideration, and prove their
determination to omit nothing towards the consolidation of the
constitutional government.-•---The assembly then adjourned.

MINISTERIAL GAZETTE_ EXTRAORDINARY OF

CHILI.

SANTIAGO, AUG. 15, 1821.—1 t is not possible
to describe the demonstrations of joy with which
the people of Chili celebrated the news received
of the liberation of the capital of Peru, accom-
plished by the valour and wisdom of General
San Martin. At two o'clock in the afternoon of
the 13th instant, arrived the first notice commu,
nicated by the Governor of Valparaiso, enclos-
in.:, a duplicate of a dispatch from the General-
in-Chief. Nevertheless, as there were some
papers worthy of credit in circulation, which an-
nounced the success, and the dispatch of the
Governor said expiessly- that Lima had been
freed by the arms of the country, a salvo of ar-
tillery and• general ringing of bells served as a
signal for collecting an immense crowd to the
Directorial Palace, where, being assured of its
truth, the highest testimonies of pleasure were
exhibited, - No other expressions were heard

than those of a Live Our Country—Live Arne-1
rica—Live our Brothers the Peruvians—Long
life to the heroes San Martin and O'Higgins !"
This acclamation of enthusiasm extended rapidly
to all the corners of the city, accompanied with
the firing of rockets, which did not cease till the
morning of the Lith. The whole of the city was
illuminated in the night ; -military music paraded
the streets ; and the whole people were em-
ployed in singing national songs and shouting
victory.
At ten o'clock in the morning of the 14th the
colours of Rancagua, which were recovered in
Lima, entered the city. An immense concourse
of people again occupied the directorial palace,
with the same demonstrations ,of joy, mingled
with tender feeling at the sight of the colours of

our country, retaken by the brave men who ex-
erted themselves for the liberty of our brethren.
To satisfy, in some measure, their desires, it was
necessary to read the official dispatches several
times from the balconies of the palace ; and the
people could scarcely be satisfied till two in the
afternoon, expecting the news to be communi-
cated by an extraordinary gazette. In the mean
time a salvo of 100 pieces of artillery, with the
ringing of bells, announced the entry of the
standhrds.—To-day, at 5 o'clock in the evening,
there was sung at the cathedral a solemn Te
Deana, at which all the corporations attended, as
a commencement of a thanksgiving to the Su-
preme Author of the liberty wrought by the vir-
tuous Chilians.
