THE PRUSSIAN CHARM D'AFFAIRES AT afADAID,
DA TED VERONA, NOVISIRER '22,1 822.
" SlR—Among the objects which fix the attention and demand
the anxious solicitude of the Sovereigns and Cabinets assembled
at Verona, the situation of Spain; and its relations with the rest
of Europe, have occupied the first place.
" You know the interest which the King, net angest Master,
has never ceased to take in his Catholic Alajesty, and in the
Spanish nation.
" This nation, so distingiished by the loyalty and energy cf
its character, illustrious from so many ages of glory and virtue,
and always to celebrated for the noble devotion and heroic perse-
verancg which made it triumph over the ambitious and des-
potic designs of the Usurper of the French Throne, possesses
claims too ve:•.erable and too solid to the interest and regard of
all Europe, to v.-emit that its Sovereigns can view with indif-
ference the miseries that actually oppress it, and those with
which it is menaced.
" evert the most deplorable has subverted the ancient
haws of the S.,sa:lish Itionirchy, compromiced the character of
the nation; and attacked and poisoned public prosperity in its
very sources.
" A Revolution, which sprung from military revolt, has sud-
denly broken all the bon!, of duty, overthrown all legitimate
order, and dissolved the •elements of the social edifice, which
cannot fall without coveri::g the whale country with its ruins.
" It was th-sught possilde to replace this edifice by extorting
front a SoverLigii, already despoiled of all real authority and of
all free will, tire re-establishment of the Constitution of the
Cartes of the yzar 18:2, which, confounding all elements and
power, and umi"g only the single principle of a permar.ent
and legal opposition against the Government, necessarily de-
stroyed that central and tutelary authority which constitutes the
ciSence of the Nionarchical system.
" The consequences have fully made known to the Spanish
nation what are the fruits of so fatal sn error.
" Revolinion, that is to say, the letting loose of every
passion against the ancient order oftlis, far irons being
stopped, checked, or modified, has developed itself in a manlier
at once rapill'and ttrrif7ing. The Government, powerless and
paralysed, had to longer the means of either doing good or pre-
venting evil. .111 its powers were found concentrated, accumu-
lated, and confounded in one single Assembly ; this Assembly
presented wily a conflict of opinions and views, of interests and
of passions, in the midst of which propositions and revolutions of
the most heterogeneous kind were constantly produced, resisted,
or neutralized.
s! The ascendancy of the fatal doctrines of a disorganizing phi-
losophy could not hut augment the general delusion, until at last,
as might naturally be expected, every notion of sound policy was
abandoned for vain theories, and every sentiment of justice and
moderation sacrificed to the dreams of fallacious liberty. Flom'
that moment institutions established under the pretence of of-
feting securities asetinst the abuse of authority, became merely
the instruments of injustice and violence, and the means of cover-
ing this tyrannical system with an appearance of legality.
" Without the slightest hesitation the most venerable and sa-
cred rights were abolished: lawful property was violated, and
the Church was stripped of itt,dignity, its prerogatives, and its
possessions. It may be thought that a despotic power, exer-
cised by a faction only to the injury of the country, would soon
have fallen to pieces, if delusive declamations front the tribune,
, ferocious outcries from the clubs, and the licentiousness of the
Press, had not kept down public opinion, and stifled the voice of
that sound and reasonable part of the Spanish nation which Eu-
rope was well aware formed an immense majority. But the
measure of injustice was filled, and the patience of faithful Spa-
niards appeared to be at length exhausted. On all sides dis-
contents burst forth, and whole provinces became the prey of
civil war.
".In the midst of this dreadful agitation, the Sovereign of the
country was seen reduced to an absolutely powerless state, de-
prived of all liberty of action, and of will—a prisoner in his
capital, separated from all Pis faithful servants, who still re-
mained attached to him, loaded with insults and contumely,.
and exposed, front day to day, to attempts which, if the fag.
tion did not provoke them,• at least they had retained no means
of preventing.
" You, Sir, who have witnessed the origin, the progress, and
the consequences of the Ilevolution of the year 1820, can testily
that there is nothing exaggerated in the picture of it which I have!
thus rapidly traced. Things have now reached that crisis, that
the Sovereigns assembled at Verona at length feel themselves
compelled to inquire what are now, and what will hereafter be,
the nature of their relations with Spain?
" It might have been hoped, that the dreadful calamity with
which Spain was attacked would have experienced crises of a
nature calculated to bring back that ancient Monarchy to an or-
der of things compatible with its own welfare, and with tell.:
tions of frietidship and confidence between itself and the other
States of Europe. But this hope has been hitherto frustrated..
The moral state of Spain is at the present moment suck,
that her relations with foreign Powere must necessarily ha
doubtful and uncertain. Doctrines subversive of all social or-
der are openly preached and protected. Insults directed against
the principal Sovereigns of Europe fill with impunity the Public
Journals. The Revolutionists of Spain disperse their emissaries,
in order to associate with themselves In their pernicious labours
whatever conspirators may be found in foreign countries againet
public order and legitimate authority.
" The inevitable effect of so many disorders has particularly
manifested itself in the change of relations between Spain and
France. The irritation which has resulted Is of a nature calcu.
laced to create the most just apprehensions as to the mainte-
nance of peace between the two countries. This circumstance
alone would be sufficient tor determine the assembled Sovereigns
to break silence upon a state of things which every day threatens
to compromise the. tranquillity of Europe.
. . .

. .
" Is the Spanish Government willing, or is it able, to apply a
remedy to evils so palpable and so notorious? Wilt it; and can
it, prevent or repress the hostile consequences, and theinmalting
provocations which arise with regard to foreign Goverossouts,
from the position In which the revolution has placed it, and Main
the system which it has established? • -
'" We conceive that nothing can be more contrary to the in-
tentions of his Most Catholic Majesty, than to see himself placed
in a situation. se extremely painful with respect to Foreign So-
vereigns ; but it is precisely, because this Monarch, who is the
only authentic and legitimate organ of eotnenunication between
- .

Spain and the other .Powers of Europe, finds himself deprived
of his liberty and restrained in, his will, that those Powers con-
sider their relations with Spain to be compromised and deranged.
" It is not for Foreign Courts to judge what institutions would
harmonize best with the character, the manners, and the real
wants of the Spanish nation; but it does indubitably belong to
them to judge of the consequences which experiments of this
kind produce with regard to themselves, tied to regulate by those
consequences their future determinations Land their future posi-
tions with regard to Spain. Now, the King, our Master, is of
opinion, that, in order to preserve, and re-establish on a ;mild
foundation, his relations with FcFrign rowers, the Spanish Go-
vernment
cannot do less tfian give to these • last unequivocall
proofs of the liberty of his. Catholic Majesty, and an adelidatii.
guarantee of its disposition, and of its ability to ren}ovu
causes of our regret, and Of our too jolt inquietude respecting ft.
" The King orders you, Sir, not to comes& this opinion tree;
the Spanish Minister, to rte-it to hki this dispatch, to leave a
copy of it in Ms ban4h,• and to request hint to explain iriuuelf
(rankly and'clearly upon the points to which it refers.'
