" SPANIARDS—By a combination of events as sin-
gular as fortunate, it has seemed good to PROVIDENCE
that in this terrible crisis you shall not advance a step
towards independence, without likewise advancing
one towards liberty.
‘,‘ A foolish and feeble tyranny, in order to rivet
your fetters, and aggravate your chains, prepared the
way for French despotism, which, with the terrible
apparatus of its arms and victories, endeavoured to
subject you to a yoke of iron. It at first exhibited
itself, like every new tyranny, under a flattering for*
—and its political impostors presumed they should
gain your favour, by promising. you reforms in the
Administration, and announcing, in a constitution
framed at their pleasure, the empire of the laws—a
barbarous and absurd contradiction, worthy certainly
of their insolence!

" Would they have us believe that the moral edi-
fice of the liberty and fortune of a nation can be
securely founded on usurpation, iniquity, and trea-
chery ? Bit the Spanish people who were the first of
modern nations to recognize the true principles of the
social equilibrium—that people who enjoyed be-
fore any other the prerogatives and advantages of
civil liberty, and knew how to oppose to arbitrary
power the eternal barrier directed by justice, will bor-
row
from no other nation maxims of prudence and
political precaution, and tell those impudent legisla..
tors, that they will not acknowledge as laws the arti-
fices of intri4ues, nor the mandates of tyrants.
" Animated by this generous instinct, and inflam-
ed with the indignation excited by the perfidy with
which yOu were invaded, you ran to arms, without
fearing the tei rible vicissitudes of so unequal a corn-
ba,—:ind fortune, subdued by your enthusiasm, ren-
dered you homage, and bestowed on you victory in
reward for your valour. The immediate effect of
these first advantages was the recomposition of the
state, at that time divided into as many factions as
p •ovinces. Our enemies thought that they had sown
among us the deadly germ of anarchy, and did not
advert that Spanish judgment and circumspection
were always superior to French machiavelism.
" Without dispute, without violence, a sspreme
authority was established; and the people, after
having astonished the world with the spectacle of
their sublime exaltation and their victories, filled it
with admiration and respect by their moderadon and
discretion,

‘. The Central Junta was installed ; and its first care
was to announce to you that if the exptilsion of the
enemy was the first objece of itsattention, the interior
and permanent felicity of the State was the principal
in importance. To suffer it to be plunged into the
flood of abuses, prepared for its ruin by arbitrary
power, would have been, in the eyes of your present
Government, a crime as enormous as to deliver you
into the hands of Bonaparte-wtherefore, when the
turbulence of war permitted, fecaused tO resound in
your ears the name of your Cortes, which, to us, has
ever been the bulwark of civil liberty, and the throne
of national majesty—a name heretofore pronounced
with mystery by the learned, with distrust by politi-
cians, and with horror by tyrants—but which, hence-
forth, will signify in Spain the indestructible base of
the Monarchy, the most secure support of the rights
of Ferdinand VII. and of his family—a right for the
people, and for the Government an obligation
a That moral resistance, as general as sublime,
which has reduced our enemies to confusion and des-
pair, in the midst of their victories'•• must not receive
less reward. • Those battles which are lost—those ar-
mies which are destroyed, not without producing
new battles, creating new armies, and again display-
ing the standard of loyalty on the ashes and ruins
which the enemies abandon—those soldiers who, dis-
persed in one action, return to offer themselv4 for
another—that populace which, despoiled of almost all
they possessed, return to their homes to share the
wretched remain; of their property with thedefender;
of their country—that concert of lamentable and des-
pai: ing groans and patriotic Songs—that struggle, in
fine, of ferocity and barbarity on the one hand, and
of resistance and invincible constancy on the other, •
present a scene as terrible as niainificent, which Eu-
rope contemplates with astonishment, and which his-
tory will one day record letters of gold, for the I
miratic n and example of posterity.
A people so magnanimous and generous ought
only to be governed by laws which are truly stfch, 1
and which shall bear the great character of public;
consent and common utility—a character which they i
can only receive by emanating from the august I
sembly which has been announced to you. The
junta had proposed that it should be held during the l
whole of the ensuing year, or longer, if circumstances I
should permit: 'but in the time which has intervened
since this resolution, a variety of public events hive
agitated the minds of the people ; and the difference ,
of opinions relative to the organisation of the Govern. I
sent, and the re establishment of our fundamental ;
laws, have recalled Ole attention of the Junta to those
important objects with which it has latterly been pro- /
foundly occupied.
t, It his been recommended on the one hand, that
the present Government should be converted into a
Regency of three or five persons : and this opinion
has been represented as supported by one of our an-
cient laws, applicable to our present situation. But
the situation in which the kingdom was when the
French threw off the mask of friendship to execute
their treacherous usurpation, is singular in our his-
tory, and cannot have been foreseen in our institu, •
tions. Neither the infancy nor the insTmity,.ner ever] I
the captivity of the Prince, in the usual way in xhicia -
1
these evils occur, can be compared with Our present I
case, and the deplorable situation to which it has re-
duced us.

4, A political position entirely new, requires politi-
CAI forni, and principles likewise entirely new. To ex.
pr.l the French, to restore 011;3 liberty and his thrmie
our adored King, and to establish solid and peisna-
nent bases of ii od Govertuncnt, 'are the maxims
-which gave the impulse to our gt7olution—are those
which support and dircct it ; and' that government
will be the best which shall pknn!ote and tplfil the
Olive jrishvs of the Spai.i,sh nation.
