specting the secona paragraph, and the modification of
the fourth, as contained in the aforesaid memoiandum."
In the explications respecting the second paragraph,
he stated, " that he had been assured, in the most posi-
tive manner, that 4$ hours after. his Majesty should
have airiied on the other side of the bridge (the Suazo
bridge is meant) he would issue a Proclamation pro-
mis►n to it' a -Constitutional Government, which
should be in harmony with the enlightened state of the
age, as well as the wants and welfare of his people. The
interest of France," lie was assured, required that this
kind of Representative Government should be esta-
blished in Spain for her tranquillity and repose, which
cannot be indifferent to France, and he was also assured
that his Majesty would publish a general oblivion of all
the past. No other guarantee," it was added, 4, is ne-
cessary for this than the confidence which the well-
known scrupulosity and probity of the Duke d'Angou-
leme in fulfilling his word, ought to inspire. It was
established that the foreigners who were in Cadiz should
be allowed to withdraw to whatever country.they might
prefer, as long as that was not their own, and for this
purpose the corresponding passports should be granted
to them. With regard to the genes a 1 oblivion, it was a
settled point, as well as the cancelling of such confisca-
tions as had alrea4 taken place, and that these should
henceforward be prohibited. Every Spaniard who
should wish to withdraw to a foreign country, including
France, shall be allowed to do so freely, and the neces-
sary passports shall be granted to thew. The provisions
which are in La Isla may be conveyed to Cadiz, but not
the ammunition."
He added, " that the Duke d'Angouleme had totally
rejected the proposed conference on-neutral or interme-
diate ground between the two armies, because he could,
not consider the King as being free as long as hii family
continued in Cadiz, and because he did not see that
such a conference could lead to any result." He also
added, that it was a settled point, " that the Represen-1
tative Government was not to be the
,Cortes by estates,
but those formed out of an equal representation of all
the provinces."
[The preceding Report was given in by General Alava
on the Bth of September, as the result of his conference,
and as containing the ultimatum of the French.)

TRANSLATION Of THE MEMORANDUM ASIOVI AL-
LUDED TO.
•

I can treat of nothing until the King is free. Let the
King and Royal Family repair either to Chiclana or
Port St. Mary's, as his Majesty chooses. I will use the
whole of my influence with his Majesty, in order that
he may promise and grant, of his own free will, such
institutions as he shall judge to be suitable to the hap-
piness, wants, and tranquillity of his people; and in or-
der that he may announce that he forgets the past. All
those who wish to leave Spain may withdraw wherever
they think proper ; and in consequence thereof, orders
shall be given to the Admiral. A French division shall
enter Cadiz, for the purpose of maintaining order there,
preventing re-actions, and protecting every one.
The last paragraph was modified in the following
manner The French troops shall occupy La Isle de
Leon, as far as and including the Cortadura 'and Fort
Puntales. The ground between these two points and
the town shall be neutral. The armistice with the town
shall be' for two months. The commercial relations
shall be re-established."
