interruptions front without, that he-may employ the
armed part of the French nation' against the greater
and sounder part, which is unit-med. That he may
omit no species of insult, he pretends to be believed
in saying, that he is going to labour for the peace
and prosperity of Europe, as if Europe had forgot-
ten that from the time of his taking the reins of Go-
vernment, there has been a renewal of terrible wars,
that the fountains of public prosperity have been
dried up in all the countries subject to his influence,
or, as if it were possible to fall into the absurdity of
imagining that Bonaparte is capable of deviating
from the maxims which he, has invariably pursued.
Spain does not want to ask instructions of any one
—her own fatal experience has given her severe les-
sons. Bonaparte has distressed her with two spe-
cies of war ; the first, till 143t4, he made upon her
dignity, her treasures, her fleets and armies, by
making them subservient to his designs and this was
called friendship, by this exterminating ally !--.-and,

vinces of this nation, and treated it as a free pro.
peity, which its master can dispose of to whom he
pleases, and upon such conditions as he thinks fit.
Bonaparte has nut belied himself--he signalizes his
newepoch by sacrificing to his vanity the lawful and
adored Sovereign of France, and the libeler 4 that
power, putting himself at the head of a faction, in-
terested in continuing the distresses of mankind.—
Bonaparte, from the capital of France, says to all
nations, do not believe me in preceding treaties of
peace, you compromised your dearest interests, your
most sacred duties, to purchase tranquillity for your
people ; but they -were deceived, Bonaparte, from
the French throne, says to the Sovereigns, against
your own conviction you formerly recognized my
usurped rights, and allowed me to take a place
among you; and the result has been only to feed
my vanity and my ambition. Bonaparte, in short,
says to the world, all these compliances have been
despised by a man without faith and without law—
that there is no medium between his destruction and.
that of the human race.
In such circumstances no one Can hesitate on the
part 'which he ought to chonie all Europe has taken
that which is the most safe, the must advantageous,
the most honourable. All misunderstandings he-
tween the Powers have vanibited ; their interests are
associated by the common danger. Prussia will not
be a passive spectator of the reverses of Austria ;
Austria will not behold, with indifference, the fate of
Prussia ; Russia will not permit the southern part of
Europe to be divided into inheritances for crowned
, slaves ; England will insist that the presumptuous'
Bonaparte should not. again appear among the So-
vereigns..-he who dared to give laws to the seas,
when all the ships of France were chained in its
ports. In short, the Sovereigns, well convinced'
that generosity is not a corrective for minds of a cer-
tain stamp, will listen to net appeals but those of jus-
tice and•of the public safety, which is the supreme
law fur Governments.

It is this law, Spaniards, which now calls you to
war ; it is innocent, and perfectly just, because it is
calculated fe r the good of the people, and the safety
of the Sovereigns called to govern theni by Provi-
dence, and the fundamental laws ; it is, at the same
time, prudent, because the means which the corn-
;iined Powers have taken, and are still taking to re-
conquey the peace of Europe, are sniiable to the
greatness and importance ot. the enterprise; and,
above all, it is necessary, because nations, like indi-
vidnals, cannot depart from the law of self-preserve.
Lion, nor hesitate iu their defence against the disturber
of the World. •
The necessity of the war is not derived irons this
one principle alone. You, Spaniards, are Older
!the imperious necessity of contending against him
who framed the impious plan of destroying the work
of Juus Cams-, and in overthrowing in two or tour
years, what he called in his instructions to Cervelloni,
the fabric of deceit and prejudice.
It is Bonaparte, who, not contented with being the
origin of calamities, desites that they may be borne

These doctrines do not suit Napoleon; which con-
demn the right of force, the only one which he recog-
ntaea; Doctrines that preach justice and equity can-
,not please the usurper or thrones—cannot suit him
who maintains that the titles of just, equitable, and
virtuous, belong exclusively to conquerors. Justice,
Spaniards, prudence, the law of sell-defence, and re-
ligton, order this war,.to rescue France and its throne
froni the oppression under which they groan, and to
conquer the tranquillity and repose of the world. The
councils of ambition have not bad .the smallest in-
fluence in such a tribunal. France will not be dis-
rnenthered either in its fortresses or its provinces; her
limits will be religiouslyvespemed ; and to hinder the I
allied- asinies from-setting n-foot in them, France
needs but to reflect-on the outrage done to the natio-
nal.dignity in' rendering her the sport of factions—
that a nation begins to be enslaved as soon as it loses
the. King called by its fundamental laws—and that
to behold with apathy the change of a King, the fa,
ther of his people, for a monster who delights in hu-
mair.blood, is the most shameful behaviour. I well
know the authority I have to declare and make war.
I am certain my subjects will rest satisfied, that a
nig who founds his happiness on that of his people
cannot undertake war without grief at seeing himself
under the necessity of defending them. Bin I have
desired to call to my assistance the force ot convic-
tion. to insure the reputation of justice in the opinion
of the world. to invigorate the valour ot my troops,
to stimulate the generosity of the opulent, to support
the resignation of all in the labours of this ahis, and
that the war being sanctified, all may hope for the
aid of the GIVER of %%crown..
