_COMPOSING, THE REGENCY OF SPAIN.
" MOST EXCELLENT SIRS,
•

" The various papers and docninents which, in
` the name of the SuPreme Junta of Cadiz, and of an
establishment- called the Regency, have bcen sent
to the Viceroys and Captainv6etieral at these 00-
minions, and all ,Of their inhabitants, for the pur-
pose Of obtaining the, recognition at the said esta-
blishaient, as .the legitimate depository of the sove-
reignty, of Spain, h ivebeen punctually received.
.
• `` Your Excellencies ..have observed, at different
petiods, the fidelity h hewn by this country to its be-
losed Sovereign Ferdinand VII: and its true and
cordial sentiments of fraternity with regar4 to a:1
the Slaattiards of Europe. You have seen also the
respect. .shewn to the 'Junta of and to the
Cent!tl Govern ment ; but your Et icelicncies would
most grievously deceive yourselves, if you were to
supposLt,that we are so destitute of discriontriti-in as
to pay obedience, and incur the diwes of vassals to-
wards- all the (liffereut establishments. which, oee.
after the
.otht-r.. assume the sovereign authority,
without any 'delegation from' the I.l.l6tiarch, and
without any concurrence of the Spanith 'nation of
either Continent. A -government thus arbitrarily
'assumed must beabsolutely null, iliegit mate, and
void, and contrary to all the principles sanctioned'
by our raWS.
What, in faic.l,. are the grounds winch the Re
, gencv allege a; the foundation of their claim to that •
hoMage of Americaos which they haver S 0111 only
to pay to-their lawful Prince? Have the national,
Cortes been assembled, wnich alone can possess the
legislative power necessary to form a
Constitu; ion, to administer pub:id atiairA during' an
inter-regmon Even in 'tike bosom of the Cecilia!
.Junta, there have been no Ministers sufficiently
,up-
right to oppose the spirit of cotruption Which nad
crept into. the State to its ruin, as to lift up their
voices against that ariooteai authorhY which, to
contempt of our laws, had been acquired. It there
have beets no Cortes, has t „1),-re been alty other int-

these sentimentsi u was belreved.thati the moral of
all the Spain, was the only shield tin.-
der which the Monarchy could be shelteled fronaOe
tempest that thte.-)tened it, and to Feser we this
unity which appeared to us so important, we • hate
saeritic,:d our•own interests, and barb exhibited be-.
fore .the world What we conceived to be a merito.;
exaniple.of self-deoial 'and • reSigial ion ; matte's
are now
•changed. The greater part of the
Nola is Oucuptecl by the di-niles of the Tyrant i)1
France, and the Central Junta is dissolved and dis-
persed: \Vital else remains for the Aniericans but
to consult-thett, Own .Security ? What utility could
they expe.d froin longer submitting to authorities which had lot their character of dignity and index
penitence? The language Mile!) t,f .late has
bcru
arrogated in the Caraccas, the evils suffered not
only from the Junta, but from the council a
3t. at Audienciai rdpeat4attempts to contra-
.verre the laws, and the suspiOrio with which their,
measures mere examined, rentlatcd it necessary to
depose then. The unanimity of the people.of Cta-
raccas had qlready deprived them of real power, and
they ha,e'7;ince been diveSted of nominal authority,
ith" that Order, moderation and generosil, un-
known e.‘ en in the history of our own na;,;•in.
" To this reasoning, common to all of us, we
have to a,id some further particulars,--it is noioa
rious that the.Cap,rair-General and Sab-InspeCtor
of
artillery were in Madrid at the time of the Govern-
went of, Murat; and also when the city capitulated.
These then are individuals who have sworn to be
tint Mu; to tt e French authility: The first ofthese
persons has spread it abroad that Napoleon intended
to name him as the• Captain-General of the Ca-
raccas, and in'a Madrid Gazette we hove seen this
appoint mini 'confirmed by his. brother the Usurp r.
" These are the motives which have operated
with the ..C.traceas—they reelaim their lost rights,
and they make known their demand to the other
Provinces of America. They are confident than
sooner or later they shall all be unanimous, and if
this ,unity. of sentiment Should be delayed, it will
only be a further proof of the, terrible despotishi un-
der which they surfer, and a far•her cunfirmatfon
of thiS .important proof that twilling so con—
ple•ely desu'oys the moral energies "as the habit of
s:aveey.

" ,it i• very easy to pervert the send of our dec'a-
•
rations, and to give the colour of disloyalty to prin-
ciples that derive their source in the pure fountain of
Eternal Truth. For the rectitude Of our intentions
we appeal tO the voice of reason and of justice; we
•appeal to nations. noW in existence, and to postern,
u e appeal to the conscientious feeling,: of
your ExcOlencies, and to the prificipies acknow-
ledged and proclaimed by the Central Junta only to
be contradicted and violated.
" We lainent that it is necessary for us to speak
to'your Excellencies a lOnguage that may not be ac-
ceptable, but we presume that your Excellencies
will; give the best iesihnimy-of your good Intentions,
• and of the 'liberality •of your minds, by listening
with impartiality to what we rcpresent, and by con-
Wiz It ourselves on the means ofestablishitx,a •
I union bet weenst he dominions of Spain of both
iiruSphcr: s ; and be assured, that no union which
established in equality of rights and interests,
can he benetiotal or permanent.
" Iu a w•:rd, we disclaim any. conrieetion With
the new Council of Regency ;
.but it Spain is to be
s:n.e..l, we stall be among the first to stew o
~once to a 'Government constituted on a legitimate and.
eno,cyb. bassi, and we shall be ready on Our parts
to ;4-ive to our brethren of Europe such assis:ance as •
