MANIFESTO.
TERMWAND VII NINO OP SPAIN AND OF TIIE INDUS,
AND TIIE SUPREME COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENT OF BOTH

IN WS NAME.
The defence of the Country and the King, and the
happiness and prosperity of the people, has been and
will ever be the sole aim of this Supreme Council;
which to attain that end, has spared no exertions, and
shrunk front no fatigue or danger. In order to faei.
iitate its attainment, the Council ordains and enacts as
follows :
t. That the enlistment it has ordered shall Le general, incluelet
all persons able to hear arms, of the age of 16 to 45; but they
elan be divided into three cl: ties. The first hi tb consist of voile!.
I teen: the second of unmarried persons, married men, and wi.
'dowers without children the third of married men adwidowers
with children, persons who have rem:teed the lower orders and
necessary servants of the church.
L. The volunteers are to put themselves immediately in met
eke, and march in any direction, whit:: tie Councils of Govern
*neat or Boards of Magistrates shall command; and as soon as
they shall have reached the place of destination pointed net to
them, they shall either join t.` e veteran troops, or form distinct
1 bodes under the orders of their respective military chiefs, who
shall be appointed for that purpose ; and the said volunteers, rat.
• tber they join the veteran troops or be formed in distinct boner;
shall do duty in every point of view as troops of the line.
1 s. In die second place shall be called out far service those of the
i accord enlistment, that is, unmarried men, nod married men and•
, widowers who have no children, who, on their arrival at theplace
1 of destination, shall either join the Veteran tenons df be embodied
' . in distiact corps ; and this being done, they shall in every respect
serve and act as troops of the line.
4. At the third tilling out, which shall not be resettled to but
in case of extreme necessity, such as calls upon us all to sacrifice
ourselves in deferce of our country, shall come the turn of show
of the third enlistment, that is married men and widowers wise
have children ; persons who have received the lower orders, sea
such servants of the church, as ere not indispensably required for
divine service : after having reached their point of dominance,
they shall join other corps or form distinct bodies, and act as troops
of the line, in the same manner as is enacted with regard toter-
, sons enlisted of the first and second clan,
S. The volunteers of the first Glass cannot plead or claim any
exception. Should persons of the second and third class silo*
any, they shall be beard, and after a summary discussion, Oleo
case shall be determined upon by the respective Councib of Go.
our:micro. or Boards of Magistrates, and in this metropolis by
the Supreme Council of Government, without any judicial pro
ceedings, costs, or fees; and the decision then given shall be
abided by and carried into effect, without any further opposklm
whatsoever. Yet the right :hall be reserved to an persons, who
may think thesnselves aggrieved, to lodge their complaints before
the Supreme Council, which, with strict and impartial joiner,
will give such a decision as the case shall require ; but the :upretat
' Council at the same time think it right to observe, that the cow
plaints brought before them must concern matters of importance,
and not be futile or fictitious ; because the situation of the country,
which is in danger, demands it.
6. As it is but fair, that the ardour to defend the country Amid
not be damped or `tamped In any manner whattoever, ail penes
who have received the lower orders, and all individuals of stay
class or description, and they, whose age exceeds 45, shall bete.
ceived, if they choose to enlist as volunteers, and permitted to tuts
out with the first class, or join the others.
7. The Supreme Council of Government cannot discard from
' Its recollection, the urgent necessity of gathering and inning the
harvest, and more alt a harvest so plentiful as that with which
Coo has vouchsafed to bless us this year. The Council, there.
• fore, orders all possous enlisted of the second and third clase,per.
1
tonally to apply themselves, without claiming any etr-mption on
account of rank, wealth, or any other motive whatsoever, to
I gather and inn the hareem, so indivpenslbly necessary for the
public support and happiness. This injunction, however, ap-
plies to those only who have exceeded the 45th year of their age,
i. and he who complies with if shall be esteemed and declared to
have deserved well of his country; end the Supreme Council of
Government capectr, from the gmerous character of all gpaniard;
I that not one of them will take aderurage of the present mined
1
situatibn of the country to raise the price of labour to an ner e
sive amount, hut that, on the contrary, they will all an aids
I that heroic moderation which the country and public felicity dr.
I mand.
9. Women apply themselves ha many parishes to reap the etch,
and perform other agricultural labour; and in all the pros:luta
of Spain a great number of them may do the same The Sus
prone Council advises and directs them to do so In the eirecor
stances in which kve are placed, and declares this employment
in all those who shall devote themselves to it, the highest saviee
which they are able to render their country. All persons Its
longing to the Regular or Secular Clergy may do the same, lad
will thereby evince their love to their King, their loyalty and
zeal, to promote the public prosperity and welfare; and the n.
1 ample, which they shall then set to the peco le, and to persons II
every rank and description, will force them to imitate It.
Such women as, on account of their age, debility of constitutioe,
and other reasons, are abvlutely prey, nted from devoting them
tithes to that employment, will apply themselves to make lints
bandages, and other necessaries, for the ease of the hospVals, and
after they are made, they will deliver them to their respective
Councils of Government, or Boards of Magistrates, who will
transmit them without the least delay to the Intendants or Com-
missaries General of our armies in this Capital. 'I he latter will 1
cause lists to be Crowd of the persons who shall have applied
themselves to this service, and to all other e noloyments ordered,
and transmit thtln to this Supreme Council of Government, who
will order them to be printed and published, that they may be uc ,
venally known, at 1 that every one may receive the praise and
reward due to his love of our native land.
We are about to fight in defence of our country
and religion, and our conduct and exertions ought to
chew that we really are Spaniards and Christians.—
The Supreme Council of Government do, therefore,
charge the armies, the people, and persons of every
rank and description, to study the utmost purity ri
manners, modesty, and virtue, and incessantly to offer
up prayers to the GOD of Mercy, to appease his just
wrath. The Council, above all, charges and be.
seethes them, for the lore of Janus Cultist, to avoid
all jealousies, differences, and disputes, and, sit 6•
ficing all personal interest, closely to unite, and de.
vote themselves to the defence of our King. DO'
ing this, the Supreme Council of Government hope
i and are certain, that GOD will look down on us with
lan eye of mercy, and we shall succeed to save our lice
ligion, our Country, and our King, whose ruin would
be consummated by our enemies if they conqueredtri
which, however, this Supreme Council of Goren:*
went neither fears nor has reason to fear.
