They count upon the assistance of Senors Paloniera, An-
trtignaro, Davila, Campo, Kornai°, and Father
The following is the entire Address of the Council of
Castile, of which a part has already been published in

some of the Paris journals :
" Sire—The Council which has hitherto directed
your attention only to the lenticular facts which have
occur) ei at ()Tiede, but which could not remain igno-
rant of those which have happened in other places, tier
neglect to fix its regard on the distrust which has gene-
rally seized upon Spaniards who are devoted to your
Majesty, arid decided to defend you and your decrees,
would fail in one of its most sacred duties, if, passing
by the present occasion from considel atitais of a base
policy, it concealed from your Majesty established woofs
and well-founded fears, that a tot rent of calamities must
inundate Spain, unless your Majesty dictates prompt and
efficacious measures to re-eeithlish contider.ce.
" We are not no.v, Sire, as in 1814—a period, when
ignorant of the extension and the object of the different
sects united under the general specious title of Liberals,
the individual fidelity of those who ate pr.'ind of being
your Majesty's subjects was engaged or compromised
to the last degree against those sects—we know by rea-
son and experience what ate the ideas aad plans of that
race which our age has produced, which neither retro-
gades nor stops ; and whose members, labouring in their
dark lodges, are painted in a thousand shapes, present-
ing themselves as feeble sheep, while they are within
devouring wolves. The people already know them,
because they have heard their doctrines, and had to suffer
three yea: s of calamities under these cannibals.
" And how is it possible, Sire, that while so great a
number of these men figure now as they figured for-
merly, when they are seen obtaining the most important
places, and displacing in the management of your Ma-
jesty's service the most pure and devoted subjects, whose
fidelity they check—show is it possible, we ask, that the
nation can have confidence, and not fear a third revo-
lution? Would this triumph be more striking than that
which they now obtain, in enjoying, not only impunity
for their crimes, but remaining in possession of public
employments and the confidence of your Majesty ?
" It is true that some of them, less fortunate, are in dun-
geons, and are suffering the consequences of judgments
called for by public opinion ; but what fear can these
judgments inspire, while so little importance has been
attached to the registers and documents found in their
lodges and secret associations ; yet, in spite of tire almost
infinite number of this sect in Spain, we are still without
any other law for their punishment than the penalties
enacted in the decree of Ferdinand VI. on the 2d of
July, 1751 ? But further, these men, who committed
so many wrongs against your Majesty and the nation,
not satisfied with the manner in which they are treated
and tolerated, have dared more than once to take some
oaths with an arrogance which is peculiar to them, and
have insulted those who, full of zeal for your Majesty,
make a pride of hay ing ideas different from theirs.
" They cease not to give indications of their hopes of
a new triumph, and already they begin to celebrate that
triumph over the ruins of the volunteer corps, which
they think reduced to nothing in consequence of the
regulation to which they have been subjected. And
truly they have some grounds for forming such ideas,
for the union of high qualities which are required for
admission into this corps, as well as for those who
already compose it—the fortune and property which
they must enjoy—the great number of duties which are
imposed upon them, and above all the limit placed to
their number—all these measures appear to be designed
for the destruction of this corps, or at any rate for its
reduction to a force totally insufficient.
" Things being in this state, on what force can your
Majesty rely for making bead against the Constitu-
tionalists, and repressing, if need be, malcontents and
sworn enemies? Is this force, the remains of the Con-
stitutional army, dispersed over the whole of the Penin-
sula, and still preserving its arms to the last extremity?
Is it composed of those columns who now enter Spain,
and who preferred being prisoners of war to the swear-
ing fidelity to your Majesty? Will it be composed of
the militia and the other instruments of ruin to your
Majesty—to our country, to your subjects, and all their
dearest tights? Ah, Sire, forget not the past, and do
not believe, as has been attempted to persuade your Ma-
jesty, that certain men will no longer be what they were
' in 1820. They were in 1820, what they were in 1814,
and what they will always be.
" All these reasons, which experience has brought
within the reach of men the least clear-sighted, will
decide good Spaniards, who love the altar and the
throne, to unite in defence of their rights by taking the
title of Royalist Volunteers ; for this is the only force in
which your Majesty can now rely, both from their sen-
timents of honour, and the manner in which they have
been compromised. It is expedient, then, instead of
taking an opposite course, to labour for the organiza-
tion and increase of this corps, as far as this is compe-
-1 tible with tlke object and the conduct of individuals,
without omitting any of the means proper for this pur-
pose, and in making use of all the reports furnished to
the Government,whose interests should not suffer injury.
" What wonder is there that the people should be-
come distrustful, when the calculation of evils, being
within the reach of everybody, no one can penetrate
the mysterious secret of advantages. This general opi-
nion being taken in a contrary sense, is of such an re-
sistible force, as was seen in the last struggle for indepen-
dence, that it would be rash to act against it.
" Although it would be of great interest for your Ma-
jesty, to leave you to proceed in your natural sense,
there will not be wanting those who will think in a dif-
tcreut manner; but, Sire, should this sentiment ti iumph
over that of so many zealous Prelates, of so many Cor-
porations, of so many individuals who openly affirm the
contrary, but above all, over the profound conviction of
reason? Your Majesty is surrounded with enemies full
of sagacity, constant, united, and working on well-con-
certed plans. Your Majesty has no other force tu op-
pose to them but the majority of the nation concentra-
ted in the corps of Itoysilist Volunteers. L it, then, pro-
per to destroy them, and to remain at the mercy of the
enemy ? The Council would never finish its rcpteseii-
tation if it fully developed what it has to say ; but its
wish is not to afflict the heart of your Majesty by ex-
pressions little flattering to your situation, while it be-
lieves-that what it has pointed out is sufficient to war-
rant a hope that the wisdom of your Majesty will apply
the remedy which the nation desires to the evils which
it suffers, and to those still greater evils which are con-
cealed in its bosom.
" The Council has spoken to your Majesty with the
greatest frankuerss, because such is its duty ; but still

more, because its Tate being identified with that of your
Maje,ty and your rights, malevolence cannot suspe, ;
its intentions.

May HEAVEN enlighten your Majesty,by
you with such wisdom in your determinations, that )'n
may terrier the memory of your reign eternal in the
Gspetity of your people and the gratitude of your sub.
jects. Such Are the wishes which the Couucit submits
to the sovereign resolution of your Nhijcst..."
