IMPORTANT STATE PAPER.'

MANIVE•STO OF THE JUNTA OF SEVILLE.

" The defence of our Country, and of onr King,
that of our laws, our religion, and of all the rights
of man, trodden down and violated in a manner which
is without example, by the Emperor of the French,
Napoleon I. and by his troops in Spain, compelled the
whole nation to take up arms, and to choose itself a
form of Government; and in the difficulties and
dangers into which the French had plunged it, all,
or nearly all, the provinces, as it were, by the inspi:
ration of HEAVES, and in a manner little short of mi-
raculous, created Supreme Juntas,. delivered them-
selves up to their guidance, and placed in their hands
the rights and the ultimate fate of Spain.
" The effects have hitherto most happily corres
ponded with the designs of those who formed them.
The provinces have armed themselves ; some have
formed large armies of veteran troops, and have uni-
ted to them the enlisted peasants ; all, or nearly all,
have fought and are fighting against the French in
behalf of their King, Ferdinand VII. with a valour
and a constancy, of which neither Greece, nor Rome,
nor any other nation of the world, had any idea. The
French are really amazed and terrified, and the hopes
of conquering them are as sure as human certainty
can reach. .
46 The only thing which 'can impair or frustrate
them, is discork and the want of union among the
provinces themselves. Hence the Supreme Junta paid
its first attention to remove that danger, with which
view it printed and published the Official Paper, tn-
Ctleci Precautions, which it communicated in every
possible manner to all the provinces of Spain. The
bringing this plan to perfection, and carrying it into
complete execution, is now more than ever necessary.
Our enemies. are anxious to foment onr
Human passions, personal intere ti ill understood, the
ignorance, the weakness, the blindness of men, may.
perhaps, without their knowing it, assist the evil de-
signs of our enemies, and thus destroy a beginning so
glorious, and facilitate and Consummate the entire
ruin of Spain. This it is that we are endcavourinp
0 guard against, urged only by the most sacred m
t:ves, by our honour, by our loyalty as affectionate
subjects, by our duty as Spaniards, by our faith as
Christians ; and here we protest before Goo and man,
whose aid we invoke with all fervency, that we will
write nothing hut what is dictated to us by the love of
our country, the preservation of our King, and of our
rights, not mingling with it any thing that appears to
partake of passion, of interest, or of any other per.
sonal motive; but being always ready to hear the
opinions of the other provinces, and to amend our own
errors, wherever it shall be shewn that we have com
mitred any.
44 Be it the chief care to avoid every thing which
is not absolntely necessary, and which may serve to
sow the seeds of disunion in the provinces, and to
excite divisions among them ; and of this nature we
esteem ail conversations about the Royal House, and
of the cider of succession in different families which
derive a right from it. There is no person so igno-
rant of the history of Spain, and of the manner in
which the Throne has been occupied, as not to know
the changes which have taken place in the succession.
—ft is also known what are the legislative pro-
ceedings upon this point ; what the manner in which
endeavours were used to introduce an alteration into
them ; the different pretexts for this alteration ; and,
lastly, the final settlement which was made by the
Cortes of 1789, and which ought in future to be the
rule. . _

" But are we in a situation to talk of these mat
ters ? Long live our King and indisputable Sovereign
Ferdinand VII. and long live his august brothers,
heirs of the Crown, after his attested decease ! Why
then anticipate those enquiries which can only be ne-
cessary in default of these ? This anticipation may
produce, by the diversity of opinion; which it creates,
a cruel disunion, which, of itself alone, will utterly
ruin the only aim and object which Spain at present
has in view, and that is, its own entire and indepen-
dent preservation for its iiovereign Lord and King
Ferdinand Vii. and his indisputed successois ; and,
with its King, the preservation of its own rights and
Taws, and the unity of the Holy Roman Catholic
Apostolical Relip;ion, which it has gloriously pro.
fessed and defended for so many ages. It is, there-
fore, both absurd and dangerous to dispute about the
succession in cases evidently remote ; all the provinces
of Spain ought to confine themselves in this respect to
this general exi:ression—' Hereditary :wee s'on, aec2rd.
ing to thefundarnental laws of the Afonarehy.'
" Not so is it with the second question moved by
the Inrions Juntas of the kingdom, which certainly
keeps the people in a state of disquietude aid agita.
t• on, is the contitrual object of public conversation,
ind m:iv produce divisions fatal to the generous de.
s'gn, and the virtuous obligation into Whieh we have
ci,ered of defending ourselves against our enemies,
and of preserving our Country, our King, our Mo-
narchy, our Laws, and our Religion. This second
question is, is there a necessity for creating a Supreme
Government, which may unite the sovereign autho-
rity of all the provinces, till the restitution of King
Ferdinand to his Throre ?
" This Supreme Junta declares openly, thaffrom
the beginning to the present time, it has been persua-
ded that such a Supreme Government is altogether
ne:essary, and that without it the country is in dan.
ger, and its enemies will find means of completing its
r ; and the reasons of this determination and decla-
ration are so evident, and present themselves with
dun c..erne%s to the eyes of all, that they cannot fail
of cm-mil-n. 14; all who have the least, notion Ofpt.blic
o• a correct insight into the nature of man—
the passions which move him, and the order of human
affairs in all ages. Various Supreme Juntas and Mi-
litary _Chiefs exptess‘li their conviction of this
truth.
A conviction of the same springs from the in-
disce..slbie necessity of a Civil Government in every
whose duty it is to attend to the happiness of
the kingdom, and to Nk hich the military stay be sub-
ordinate. The confidence of the nation, and conse-
quently the public funds and the capitals of indivi.
d must necessarily have a Civil Government fin
t.l"ir support ; without it, the military power we uld
aili,pensably be under the necessity of employing.
violence, with the view of acquiring that confidence
....hid' it never could le.tain, and getting a command
these capi:.ais which it would be equAlly

ble for it to bring within its grasp ;int' thus it would
ultimately destroy the public prosperity ad
ness, which ought it) be the sole object of !Vex" Go.
vernment.
" Let usonot vainly flatter onrselvn with' the nw-
'ions of Rtin# Dictators, and the other Military
Chiefs of the anci Republics : they were placed
under very pruderltkrestraints, and, the duration of
their authority watsiimited to a very short period.—
The dangers of cntfiplete despotism and usurpation
kept them in continual alarm, and compelled them
to take very rigorous precautions, which are very in-
compatible Arid the habits of modern times. Spain
has derived a lesson of wisdom from the history of past
ages : she has never thought of appointing a Military
Dictator. Her Military Chiefs, and it is a fact most
honourable to the Spanish name, have been the first
to embrace, with the utmost cordiality, a system of
things as ancient in Spain as the Monarchy itself.—:.
The experience of our times—the confidence Of the
people in the Supreme .Juntas—the facility and abun-
dance with which pecuniary resources have been pla-
ced at their disposal—the heroic loyalty with which
the Military Chiefs and the Army have acknowledg-
ed and obeyed them—and the happy issue hitherto
of their Civil Administration, and the military enter-
prizes which they have directed, have placed in the
most conspicuous light, and established beyond all
doubt this fundamental truth and most essential po-
litical principle.
" But who is to create this Supreme Civil Go-,
vernment ? Who are to compose it? Where shall
be its place of residence ? What the extent of its
authority ? How shall it be established without in-
terrupting the public tranquillity, and producing dis-
union among the different provinces ? How is the
public opinion to so regulated as that, without op-
posing it, this tranquillity shall be attained, and all
risk of disturbance obviated ?

" These are the important and serious questions'
which we shall now proceed to examine; and upon
which, influenced solely by the love of our country,
and our anxiety to promote its welfare, we will enter
into a frank explanation of our. sentiments.
" In the various papers that bare been published
upon this subject, we are told that the Cortes should
assemble ; that they should elect representatives; and
farther, that the Old Council of Castile should con-
.voke them, and the whole of the proi.eeding should
b 2 executed iinder its authority.
Most assuredly, we do not understand the
grounds upon which this decision rests. The Coun-
cil of Castile, though a lawful assembly, never con-
voked the Cortes. Why then should we give it an
authority which it does not possess ? Is it because it
lent the whole weight of its influence to such impor-
tant changes, with regard to which it had nopowers,
nor any authority whatsoever ? Is it because it has
act2J in opposition to those fund !mental laws, which
it was established to preserve and defend? Is it because
it afforded every facility to the enemy to usurp the So-
vereignty of Spain, to destroy the hereditary succes-
sion of the Crown and the Dynasty legally in posses-
sion, and recognized and seated on the throne a fle
reigner, destitute even of the shadow of a title to it ;
for it is incontrovertibly manifest, that the renuncia-
tion of Charles IV. in his favour gave him no such
claim ? What confic'eace could the Spanish nation
place in a Government created by an authority inva-;
lid and illegal, and which had also rendered itself
suspected, I'y the previous commission of acts of so
horrible a description, that they may •be justly rank-
ed with the most atrocious crimes against the country?
" The Council of Castile heirg thus excluded from
all consideration—who should convoke the Cortes ?
The authority to convoke them is a part of the pecu-
liar and exclusive prerogative of the King. The
provinces would not submit to any other authority ;
they would not unite ; there would be no Cortes ;
and should a few delegates assemble, that very cir-
cumstance would expose the kingdom to division—
the evil which all wish to avoid.
" Besides, the cities who have votes in the Cortes
have not undertaken the Celence of the kingdom, nor
of themselves,_ nor in their corporate capacity have
they made an effort to defend it. We entertain the
most profound respect both for them and their rights ;
but truth compels us to speak out.
" Most undoubtedly, however, the cities who have
votes in the Cortes, in thus conducting themselves,
acted with consummate prudence, and with a due
observance of law. The kingdom found itself sud-
denly without a King, and without a Government—
a situation indeed unknown in our history, and to
our laws. The people legally resumed the power of
appointing a Government ; and this truth has been
openly avowed by various Supreme Juntas. The
people created these Juntas without paying any re-
gard to the cities who have votes in the Cortes. The
legitimate power is therefore deposited with the Su-
preme Juntas, and, in virtue of that power, they
have governed and do govern with real authority,
and have been and still are acknowledged and obeyed
by all ranks of subjects, and by all cities in their
respective districts having votes in the Cortes. Their
situation has not changed ; the danger still exists ;
no new authority has supervened ; the lawful au-
thority therefore resides entire in the Juntas which
the people created, and to which they confided it.
" It is, therefore, incontestible that the Supreme
Juntas have the sole and exclusive right of electing
those who are to compose the Supreme Government,
as the only means of protecting and preserving the
kingdom, Whose defence the people have entrusted
to them, and which cannot be accomplished but by
the establishment of a Supreme Government. No-
thing is more evident than this truth.
• " And whom shall the Supreme Junta elect ?
Most certainly individuals of their own body ; for
they elone derive their power from the people, and
it is in their constituent Members that the people
have reposed .their . entire confidence. Should any
other persone be chosen, they would possess neither
, the confidence nor the censent of the people, and all
their acts would be null and void ; and from this
want of confidence, the nation would be exposed to
intestine divisions, the last and greatest of all our
I calamities.
" Hence, if there be any province in which the
military power has alone been retained, results the
absolute necessity of constituting Supreme Juntas in
which the power of the people shall reside, and by
which they may Act. Whether they shall be consti-
-1
tuted by the petty Cortes or any oilier bodies, their-
appointment in some form or other -is indispensible,
in tinier to the conahtration of the legitimate power

•
of the people, and the establishment of a civil do-
*eminent, which shall inspire confidence into the
leople• 41 proceed mt. the choice of persons who!
shall compose the Supreme Government, which, un-
`der the'firesent 'circumstances, cannot be legitimate,
unless it has its origin in the free consent of the people.
" It seems then to be indispensibly necessary, that
all the Supreme Juntas, meeting on the same days
should each elect from among their own members
two Deputies to form the Supreme Government, and
the persons so elected should, from that moment, be
reputed, and actually be the Governors-General of
the kingdom ; and that as Mich they should be uni-
versally acknowleged and obeyed,
" Their authority is well known, and cannot be
subject to any doubt. The Supreme Junta of Valen-
cia has most judiciously marked its extent and limits,
in the paper which they published on this question,
on the 16th of July. We shall, therefore, be excused
from going more at large into the consideration of it.
" We will only add, that the Supreme Juntas
ought to be continued with all their appointments
and insignia, and be invested with the internal Go-
vernments of their respective provinces, until the con*-
elusion of the present state of things, but at the same
time under due subordination to the Supreme Go-
vernment. Tit thoie Supreme Juntas resides the le-
gitimate power of those portions of the people who
have respectively created them. It is their duty ;o
take measures for insuring the happiness of their.con-
stituentl, through the medium of a just Government,
and vigilantly to protect and defend the rights of
every individual among them. For this purpose they
ought to give their instructions to their respective
Deputies, constituting the Supreme Government ;
and it will be the duty of the Litter to observe them,
and to repreSent and support the claims of their pro-
vinces, as far as may be consistent with the general
prosperity.
" If there existed among us a Royal Personlgi.,
capable of presiding in this Supreme Government,
reason and justice prescribe that he, and no other,
should b appointed to that office. But if there be
no such Royal Personage, the Supreme Government
must elect a President from its own body. To, ab-
viate. every danger, however, the l'residency should
he temporary's and continue only for a fortnight, a
month, or any other term agreeable to the Supreme
Government, up in the lapse of which period it should
be incumbent un them to choose a different pers-n.
We have already rem ii ked, and it is unnecessary
to repeat it, that the Supreme Juntas should elect as
Deputies to the Supreme Government such of their
Members as are most distinguished for their talents,
their general knowledge of lesf,isl.ttion, and all the
branches of public welfare and Gov runient, rz_scol-

kcting that They' arc tobe the depositories of the hnpcs
of the kingdom. The Supreme Alma, in full rei-
ance open the generous character c-f Spaniar,N and
their ardent attachment to the good of their country,
assures itself that intrigue, party, or personal interest
or predelictions, will have no influence uroit this oc-
casion. .

" The Supreme Juntas will, in the first instance,
appoint the place which shall be the seat of the Su•
preme G.)vernment, who shall afzerwarcls adhere to
or alter that appointment, as they think fit, accord..
ing to a plurality of votes. The seat of Government,
as has been mast wisely observed by the Supreme ,
Junta of Valencia, ought to be at a distance from all
the dangers of war, and should, as a claim to pre-
ference, possess other advantages of a local nature.
Seville conceives herself to possess all these advan-
tages, but has no anxiety to he selected ; for she will
;most cordially sacrifice all her claims to what the
other Supreme Juntas shall decide to be for the gene-
ral. prosperity of the kingdom. The Supreme Juntas
will, therefore, make known their pleasure as to this
point, when they notify the election of their Depu-
ties. In the mean time we will frankly state that La
Mancha appears to us most convenient for the Seat
of Government, and there we would particularly
name its large cities of Ciudal Real or Almagro.—
But on the subject we are nowise anxious ; we leave
it entirely to the free choice of the Supreme Juntas.
" It remains only that we speak of this-Supreme
Junta of Seville, upon which point we shall not say
much. Certain persons, either ignorant or malevo-
lent, have endeavoured to spread the persuasion that
we affected a superiority over the other provinces.
Any such thought has been far from us, although the
general good of the nation has been our guide, and as
it were the soul of all our determinations. We pos-
sessed the only foundery for cannon in the kingdom,
and aims and ammunition in a certain degree of
abundance. Various Captains General aCknowedge
us from the commencement, and veteran troops were
more numerous in our province than in other parts ;
and thus we formed an army in a shorter time, and
have harrassed the enemy, who have surrendered pri-
soners of war, with their General Dupont„ and have
capitulated for the divisions of Generals Vedel and
Gobert, who are to be condue.e.l to France, amount-
ing, altogether, to 17,006 men, so that there does not
remain a single F:ench soldier in arms in the Anda-
lusias ; a. victory most glorious and singular, which'
has been effected without the effusion of much Spa-
nish blood, in which it appears we stand alone.
" The local situation of the Andalusias presents
also a more probable mode of defence against the
arms of Napoleon, if he means to attack us ; and,
with this view, we have united with us the Portuguese
provinces of Agarve and Alentexo, who have placed
themselves under our protection ; and the Canary
Isles hive sent us a-deputy fbr the same purpose.
The greater opulence and other peculiar circum-
stances of these provinces offers resources which the
rest want ; and we have thus been enabled to make
provision for immense expence, without having re-
ceived any money from any other part, or imposed
any contributions.
" The marine arsenal of the Isle of Leon, perhaps
the most considerable of all, obeyed;us from the be-
ginning, and with it the Spanish squadron off Cadiz,
whose force is the-greatest, and has been since aug-
mented by that of the. French moored in that harbour,
and surrendered to us at discretion.
" Gibraltar, the famous English fortress, is in our
territory, and one of the most numerous squadrons
of that nation, kept our coast in a state of blockade.
We immediately, therefore, opened a communication
with Gibraltar and with the English squadron, which
has given us all the assistance that was in its power;
• sent us a resident Minister at the very first, and
conveyed our Deputies to London to reque.t subsidies,
• and settle a peace advantageous to the whole natloa.

s Amidst so many seri:rases, we have transit:lV.
tad all the arras which it s possible to transit* tai
Granada. Estramadura h s received a still greater
number, and has experienced•our protectiosi, and so
has Cordova and Jaen. We have offered arms to
La Mancha, fo Murcia, to Tarragon, to Gerona, who
requested them of es, and we exerted ourselves to
utmost to fulfil the promises which we had made.
4, We have not forgot the rest of the European
provinces. and kingdoms, and we hope in time that the
effects of our zeal and vigilance will be made clear
and public. _ _ _

:

" The Americas claimed at the first a great share
of our attention, in order to preserve that so principal
a part of the Spanish monarchy. We have sent. En.
voys and Commissaries thither and to Asia, ht order
that they may unite themselves to us, which we could
not do without qualifying ourselves as the Supreme
Junta for the Government of Spain and the Indies,
and we trust that this title and our cares will not In
found useless. So many labours, surrounded by 4
many dangers, will, we trust, deserve some cersi.
deration of country, for the love and defence of
which only we have done and sufferzd so much.
" With all this, we repeat 'that we neither affect
nor desire any superiority. Whatever we have d.}ne,
we owed. to our country; it was an indispensible
obligation upon us. Our only object is, that Spain
may preserve its integrity and independence, for our'
Lord and King, Ferdinand VII. and for that okect
we joyfully sacrifice our lives. May Gon, wHe has
so clearly and marvellously shewn his protection of
Spain, grant a _safe-return to its King Ferdinand
VII. and then with the Supreme Government, he will
det ermine vv,hat may be him Royal will, either corn.
minding an union of the Cortes, or by such other
meths as his prudence may suggest, and will facili.
tat:• the ref arm of abuses and the general happiness
f the kingdom, securing it upon such foundations as
are firm, and subject to no change,
't If these hopes are vain, in which the clemency
of GOD leads us to indulge ; then the existing Su.
pxme G )vernment will itself determine what is most
conduriv! to the interest of the kingdom. conforming
itself to the fundamental laws thel-eof, defending it
af-a'nst the fury and malice of our enemies, and pre.
serving this monarchy, in %%bleb itself; the liberty of
n (lions, and the Catholic Church, the beloved spouse
of our Loan JESUS CHRIST, is so deeply interested.
