TO THE BISCAYANM.
BRAVE CANTARRIANS and COMRADES—YOUR with is alteady
ftilElledz—the mine, which lay deep in your bosom, and our's, is
sprung. The time has arrived when we are all called upon to
snake a noble sacrifice for our holy religion, our good laws and
customband what object is more worthy of such-a sacrifice than
. their preservation. Since last night, the whole of this town is in
arms, to avenge the provocation and insults w e have received from
the french. Nothing wul capable to check the ardour of our
people, especially sine.e they, knew, that you entertained the
same_ sentimt nts with them. Yes, their ardour, their fervent
courage, must be regulated by order, Intelligence, and prudeike,
that it may produce tke resuhat which we all aspire. Above all
things, it is absolutely necessary that we should act in concert, and
meet sfui that purpose, by proper deputation.
A Council has already been formed in this place, furrithed
with all the necessary powers, and composed of us, the under-
signed. if in imitation of the meetings, which took place in this
country in 9.5 i the deputies of the different districts 'meet without
the least dtlay, the means Of our common defence 'will soon be
organised. We will mutually instruct and assist each other, ac-.
cording to the means and local circumstances of each district.—
Let, for this purpose, exact returns immediately be made of all,
who can take up arms, from the age of 17 to 45. and somewhat
snore, where bedily strength and vigour permit—let also instantly
a return be made of all arms, fit for service, which are found in
the different districts. Let us immediately be trained to arms by
military men'' retired from service, who are scattered over our
provinces, and let us at least devote two hours a day to military
exercise. The general principles, which move us to think and act
as we do, you will with pleasure find elucidated in another paper,
which for that purpose shill be circulated among you.

Goa preserve you many years.

ADDRESS TO 'I HE FRENCH.

Pazweirmin !—You possess no longer eithet laws or liberty,
nor. any good whatever; with streams of blood shed by yourselves
and your children, you have been compelled to enslave Europe.
A family, net French, t eigns, through you, over several European
nations, without the least benefit: to France, or any other people.
Spain, your constant ally, has contributed, you know, by a variety
et means; to your triumphs; and yet she has been despoiled of
bee laws, her Monarch, and her greatness, het very religion is
threatened; and this has hitherto been achieved., not by gallantry
andvalour, but by treachery and fraud, in which you are forced to
co-operate; your valiant arms are defiled; you are made to
assist In deeds of infamy, inconsistent with your generous cha-
racter, and with the name of the great nation, which you have
acquired.
Frenchmen, the Spanish Nation, your illy and generous friend,
'Mates you to withdraw from banners which are destined to en-
slave all nations, and to enlist under our's, which are raised for
the best of causes, to defend our laws and our King, whereof we
have been robbed, not by force of arms, but by frauJ, treachery,
and ingratitude of the deepest dye. We all will die, and you
should die with us to wipe off the stain which *ill otherwise in-
delibly disgrace your nation. The Spaniards tender you the just
reward for such an action, with open arms will they receive you
and fight by your side ; and when the war shall be terminated
with that success which they have every reason to expect, land
shall be given you, which you may cultivate unmolested,and pass
your remaining days amidst a nation which loves and respects you,
and where impartial justice shall incorruptibly protect all your fair
enjoyments.
Italians, Germans of all the Provinces of that great Nation, Po:.
Landers, Swiss. a:-.d ye all who compose the armies called French,
will you fiqbt for him who oppressed and despoiled you of what
Ton held most sacred ? For hint, who has dragged you from your'
families and homes, robbed you of your property, your wives,
your children, your native country; which he has enslaved ? And
will you fight against a nation, genernus like the Spanish, from
whim you experienced the kindest reception, which loves you
with the tenderest attachment, and which, at the zenith of its
glary and dominion, respected your rights, because it looks urn
all men as brethren ? Will you fight against a nation which it is
intended to subdue and enslave, not by dint of arms, as brave
men would do, but under the cloak of alliance and friendship, by
fraudulent treachery, detestable and horrid beyond any precedent
in history, even among barbarous nations. We hope you will not.
Come to us, and you shall meet with valour, generosity, and true
honour. We tender the same rewards to you as to the French ;
and we trust, you and your postetity will enjoy them in happiness
and peace. (Signed)

ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF MADRID.

Seville,
May 29,1808.

Peons or MADRID! Seville. has learisred with consternation
and surprise your dreadful catastrophe of the 2d of May; the
weakness of a Government which did nothhig In your favour;
which ordered arms to be directed against you and your heroic
sacrifices. Blessed be ye, and your memory shall shine immor-
tal in the annals of our nation.
She has seen with horror, that the authors of all your misfor-
tunes, and of ours, have published a Proclamation, in which they
distorted every fact, and pretended that you gave the first provo-
cation, while it was they who provoked you. The Government
was weak enough to sanction and order that Proclamation to be
circulated, and saw, with perfect composure numbers of you put
to death for a pretended violation of laws which did not exist.
The French were told in that Proclamation, " that Frefah blood
prjeuely 'bed, low cryiv ootfor opentedose!" And the Spanish blood.
does not it cry out for vengeance ?—that Spanish blood shed by an
army which hesitated not to attack a disarmed and defence elss
People, living under their laws and,their King, and against whom
crackles were committed Which shake the human frame with
horror. We, all Spain exclaim—the Spanish blood dud in Mjdrid
cries stool for revenge
Comfort yourselves, we are your brethren ; we will fight like
you, until we perish in defending our King and country. Assist
us wire your good wishes, and your continual prayers, offered up
to the MOST HIGH, whom we adore, and who cannot forsake
us, because he never has forsaken a just cause. Should any f4,Vou-
rabic opportunity offer, exert yourselves as valiant Spaniards, to
shake off the ignominious yoke, impased on you with the slaughter
of so many of your innocent fellow. citizens, and with a perfidy
horrid beyouad example. (Signed)

THE PROVINCE OF VALLADOLID TO ALL THE
PROVINCES OF SPAIN.

Noaxx CarrixxiaNs,—The common foe of mankind was the
traitor who tore from our bosom our amiable Ferdinand VII.
and the whole Royal Family. He carries his audacity the length
of holding out to us offers of happiness and race, while he is
laying waste our country, pulling down our churches, and slaugh-
tering our brethren. His pride, cherished by a set of villains who
are constantly anxious to offer incense on hiirshrine, and tolerated
by numberless victims, who pine in Ids chains, have caused him
so conceive the fantastical idea of proclaiming himself Lord and
Ruler of the whole world. There is no atrocity which he does
ao► cote/nit to fawn that cad. The respectable nape of the

great Emperor of Russia ; the political dissimulation of befr-
man Emperor ; the titiorous condescension of the holy Fitber of
the Church; the opinion of triie Frenchmen, exposed- more Than
others to the seventy of their iron sceptre; in short, the most sa-
cred laws of humanity have been trampled under foot with the
utmost contempt, to pronounce the detestable sentence of the
extirpation of the House of Bourbon. Shall all there outrafes'
sU
these iniquities, remain unpunished, While Spaniards, and Castile
San Spaniards, yet, exist ? No, it cannot be. Your minds glowing
with generous ardour for your religion and your etiktitry, have
resolved to renew the heroic scenes, in. which eastillian valour
shone with immortal lustre, saved the Country, and consolidated
oar Religion. The stratagems which hitherto secured.victoriel
to the '1 yrant, vanished the moment when Europe saw with her
awn eyes the artful snares and devices by which he seduced the
unwary, until he had bent their neck Under his yoke. Let us
shed the last drop to resist that dominion. Let us all become gal-
lant soldiers, full of discipline and subordination. Let us breathe
but obedience and respect for the great man by whom we are go-
verned, one of the best Generals of Spain, his Excellency Don
Gregorio de la Cuerta. To arms, Castilllans, to arms ; let 11.1 die
for our Country, our Religion, and our King.

THE KINGDOM OF GALICIA.

GALICIA N6—You have bewailed the fate of your amiable Fey.
dinand—the horror of the perfidy by which he was seduced, still
burns in your bosoms. You fear danger to our holy religion, you
look upon our exterior worship as annihilated, upon our altars
profaned, and the temples of the eternal and sole Omnipotent con-
verted into places of desolation by order of the Tyrant, who ar-
rogates to himself the title of Arbiter of Destinies, because he has
succeeded in oppressing the noble French nation, without recol.
iectiug that be himself is mortal, and that he only holds the r wzr
delegated to him for our chastisement. You turned your eyes to-
wards the Municipal Authorities, and you even insulted them—
b muse they did net animate the flame of your Indignation against
the enemy. The time is come—your kingdom has assembled in
Cones, and re-assumed the sovereign authority which under such
circumstances devolves upon it by right, and of which its first ex-
ercise is In complying with your wishes so loudly declared; you
have already a leader, and the most vigorous dispositions are
taking—fly therefore to arras ! and let us march to defend the
cause of GOD, the honour of our Country, our lives and our for-
tunes ! Will you be insensible to the voice of the nation, and
will you only be found valiant in the streets of your cities Now
that twenty thousand brave soldiers have taken up your cause for
theirs, will you refuse to unite with their
.generous battalions ?_
Will you hesitate to embody yourselves with these masters of the
military art ? Do yott imagine, forsooth, that your courage with-
out discipline can be useful ? Such ideas avaunt—receive in your
arms these heroes who are going to marshal your strength, and
only from the common nmse of Spaniards, even without being
Galician., feel a deep interest in your cause. The Kingdom sends
them to you. You should obey their sovereign and legitimate
authority. Let discord fly from us—we are brothers, and are
going to sacrifice ourselves for the same sacred 'cause:
Galician!—Enrol yourselves frben 16 to 40 years of age. it is,
better to die In defence of Out' raigidn and firesides, and in your
own country, than to be led bound to slaughter in order to satisfy
an inordinate ambition. The French Conscription comprises you.
If you do not serve your Kingdom, you will go and die in the
North. We lose nothing. For even should we be unsuccessfld,
we shall have freed ourselves by a glorious death from the galling
chains of a foreign yoke. But there Is no reason to fear this peril
—Death has alarm& only for Poltroonsand Goo, for whose
cause we are going to fight, will witch over us, because, in the
end, every mortal has a determined measure, and we ought to
trust in his mercy, that When his wrath (which we so much de-
serve) is appeased, he will protect us. The Standard of your Holy
Patron Saint James is now unfurled—let us follow it.
Galicians !—The Asturians and Alouese have 80,000 men en-
listed, and already iio,ooo under arms--let us go and relieve our
brethren, these intrepid men. We shall thus save our country
from becoming the theatre of war. This kingdom, which has
assembled through your instance, expects it from you—this king-
dom will reward t hose who distinguish themselves, with every thing
in its power, and at the conclusion of the war it will immediately
give you your discharge, and enable you to enjoy the fruits of vic-
tory under the shade of the laurels you will have won, and con.
sign to your children at your ease, the example of your glorious
deeds. DOMINGO VALADO DE PARGA, Sec. '
