SPANISH DOCUMIINTS,

TO THE SECRETARIES -OF THE CORTES%

Citizen Don RAFEL DEL RIEGO, late General
of the first divisiou.of the national armv, of the
moveable column of San Fernando, and appoint-
ed Captain General of the kingdom of Galicia,
had yesterday determined to solicit from the So-
vereign National Congress permission to addresS
it from the bar of the Hall in;which its sittings
are held, but has found himself prevented in con-
sequence of an order from .his Majesty, dated
yesterday, just communicated to him by the Cap-
tain General of this Province, commanding him
immediately to leave Ihe capital for his quarters
at Oviedo, and at the same time exonerating him
from the command of Galicia. General Riego,
anxious to fulfil without loss of time the Royal
command, thus cannot present himself before the
National Congress, and therefore transmits, for
its consideration, , through the, medium of your
Excellencies, the following speech, which he had
drawn up for delivering before the Cortes, and
which he begs- you ‘vill,be so gnod,as to present
to their notice. God preserve your -Excellencies
many years.

(Signed) RAFEL DEL RIEGO.
TO THE CORTES.
" Having already manifested to the supreme National Con-
gress, op different occasions, my own sentiments, and those
which animate the Corps of the Army of Observation in An-
dalusia, I had the honour a short time ago of asking to he per-
mitted to approaCh this respectable bar, and to explain the
motives of its conduct and my own in an occurrence which
ignorance, malevolence, and calumny, haft converted into a
pretext for launching against us their envenomed shafts. I
shall be brief. and shall not fatigne the attention of this Con-
gress by relating the proofs which the individuals of-My army
have always given of their patriotism. Stationed by supe-
rior order in Sevilla and the Isle of San Fernando. it was
ready to fly wherever a cry subversive of tlie Laws of the COn-
stitution and of our country was beard. The Goyernment
which had organized this Army considered it as a ready,
secure, and decided support against the eneinies of a
system, the benefits arid advantages of which had not yet
been known and apprecated by the people. Circumstances
haul - not as yet changed when an order emanating from the
Secretary of War, who, for well-knbwo reasons, -haul lost the
public confidence, pr. scribed the entire dissolution of this
army. All the corps whirl: composed it, wire justly alarmed
at an order as unexpected as premature. The people. of the
maritime provinces, and Particularly of Cadiz, thought they
were then threatened with a thousand calamities, being
deprived of the support which secured their tranquil-
lity; and the result of so many disgusts and so many
terrors was the presenting of memorials to the Govern-
ment anti the Cortes. This step, which has never been
condemned by the laws, was looked upon by some as sedi-
tious and disorderly; sinister intentions were ascribed to those
who .had distinguished themselves by their upright senti- •
meats ; and calumny misled some part of the opinion of the
public, so mud:accustomed to view with a favourable eye the
national Army of Sao Fernando : but I will not speak of that
error, a: unjust as it is lamentable. Other orders for the dis-
solution of the aforesaid army were dispatched instantly; and
I, whose motto- is." Frankness and patriotism," it) communi-
cating those orders to the army sought to'employ the means
of adjustment still in my power by presenting myself in this
capital, and frankly disclosing my opinion respecting those
occurrences,' and giving an account of my opinions on the
most delicate subject which was ever presented to the Chief
of an army.
" I respect the Executive Power, I intend not to criminate
the arrangements of its functionaries, subject to error like
the rest of mankind : nor will I decide whether, in relation to
the corps_of observation in Andalusia, they forget their first'
dutythe safety of the State. Whatever may be the opinion
which I may bold regarding the situation of the people, and
respecting the system which governs them, we may be assured
that that system must encounter difficulties, will have to com-
bat powerful and inveterate enemies, who watch day and night
the moment of carelessness which may favour their criminal
projects. The different conspiracies which have been extin-
guished in their origin, the prisons full of so many enemies,
perhaps tine blind instruments of others-of a higher rank—
so many evils, whose reform is yet expected—so many
employments, of _importance retained by men know)) to be
disaffected to liberal institutions, attest clearly that the con-
stitutional system is not yet well established nor consolidated.
If a permanent army has been always destructive to liberty, it
is its most secure support in the present circumstances, The
Spanish soldiers have in the late occurrences given most ele-
vated proofs of patriotism. whemacting under chiefs worthy of
commanding t hem, and to fear the abuse of this force in those
who employed it in obedience to the laws is to do injury to its
generous character. The Army of Observation of Andalns,a
had no other sentiments on receiving the above-mentioned
decree. The disbanding of a corps of Patriots, considered as
one of the bulwarks of liberty, did not appear to them to be
expedient. Calculations of economy, which) appear to have au-
thorized this measure,seemed trilling, in their eyes,and awaken-
ed more than ever the suspicions which had always been
excited by the Minister of War, whose orders were looked
upon, if not as the result of bad faith, at least as dictated by
little foresight and vigilance. Such were the occasion and
the reasons of the representations mentioned above, which
were denominated by some seditious and rebellions. I pro-
test before the nation, which I consider assembled in this
hall, that neither ambition, nor a desire of being always
united with the corps of the army, infinenced that pro-
ceeding. Neither did the ridiculous consideration of being
considered as the sole patriots',ictnate us, nor the sense!,
lesi projects of a new order of things contrary to the
Constitution under which we are now governed ; such a
charge is a new and miserable resource to which the ene-
mies of the Constitution meant to mislead the opinions of the
unwary. I beseech the National Congress to take into consi-
deration these short reflections, t.) examine the opinion of
Andalusia, that of be Artily, that of fore-sighted and judi-
cious men, and then to consider whether the time has arrived
for deciding that circumstances have changed, that the laws
are -in their vigour, and that the Constitution is triumphant

in all its parts.
" The disgust of an Army is contagious. The distrust of
one Province passes to another. , The public mind is agitated ;
and, when concriri is the must aecessary,the most fatal disunion
been introduced. It was my duty to make these expla-
nations to the Got ernment, anti likewise to the Cortes, who
ought always to watch over every thing that influences in so
visible a wanner the well-being of our country. I have ful-
filled these two sacred obligations. I have-done all that was
in the power of a lover of the laws to avoid disorders and
misfortunes. Those calamities which may perhaps arise front
general distrust will not be toy work. Would to Heaven that
my suspicions were only those of an extravagant mind, and
that we may never have occasion to seek in vain fur that physi-
cal and moral force which is our support,a force, the importance
of which is either unknown or ton muck depreciated. For my
part, having been the 'lntik of unjust prejudices, of perverse-
suspicions, of black and horrible imptitations after voluntarily
declining of a post incompatible. perhaps with my honour in
existing circumstances, I return to the simple condition of a
citizen. If my country should require my services a second
time, I shall fly to her aid, and shall' be ready to repeat my
services. At present lam satisfied with. the pleasure of hav-
ing deserved yourlively gratitude, and with that delight which
the testimony of 'a pure commence communicates to an ho-
nourable wind. . . ,

and Suffolk, which, owing to its inferior quality, 'met exceed-
ingly heavy sale, ac ,a decline' of from 3s. to 4s. per quarter;
from the prices of i his day se'nnight a large quantity remained
on hand at the close of the market, for which there were no
offers, the price of Flour having been reduced last week ss.
per sack. We had a tolerable supply of Barley from Suffolk,
which article is full ts. per quarter cheaper, having but few.
Buyers at present; notwithstanding the magnitude of the
arrivals of Oats, they sold freely at the prices of last Monday.
In Beans and Peas there is no alteration.
