SPANI.SII ARMY IN PERU.

The following is a Proclamation issued by General
La Senor, on receiving intelligence from Spain of Fer-
dinAnd:s restoration :

1110CLAMATION.

DOE lOU DI LA VERNA, LIENTENANT•OZNERAL OT THE ARMIES,
VICEROY OF PERU, &C.
. " The sacrifices of every kind which are making, and
have been madc-by the Generals, Chiefs, Officers,
troops, and other nicr 'tot ious reisans, for the defence
and maintenance of r hi; Majesty's rights, are notorious
in these coun;rie,. No less notorious is the circumspec-
tints with which I have proceeded in executing the laws
of the Constitutional system, since, in conformity with
my Proclamation of the llth of April, 1822, many of
those laws remain unfulfilled. I doubt whether those
who now most boast of being anti-Constitutional, would
in my place have ventured on such marked violations
and modifications, when the Constitution was ostensibly
protected and recommended by the King himself ; but
as I do not make a parade of this, nor of anything else,
. 'except of having performed my duty in preserving this
terr;toi y to the King and the nation, I pass over in si-
lence many things, of which others would make a merit;
and shall only say that I would, with pleasure, have
. announced and ordered the abolition of the Constitu-
tional system before receiving the. miginal and direct
'orders from his Majesty, had the law; and fundamental
practices permit:ed me so to do, and if I had not feared
that the accounts which have appeared in the enemy's
papers, and Spanish Papers, reprinted in countries oc-
cupied by the enemy, were fabricated.
" The delay in receiving the King's orders obliged
me to issue a proclamation to the Peruvians on the sth
of February, and to address to them on the sth of the
present month the two questions which appear in my
circular, published in the Gazette, No. 45. But as Major-
General Don Geronimo Valdes, commanding the army
of the South, in consequence of my powers and instruc-
tions, thought it absolutely necessary to abolish the
Constitutional system in the provinces south of the
Desaguadero, on account of the premature and illegal
proceeding of the insubordinate and disorderly General
Olaneta, who had of his own authority abolished the
Constitution in Chat cas and Potosi, it would not have
been consistent with my duty to tolerate the monstrous
inconsistency of countries under the same Supreme Go-
vernment being administered by opposing systems;
and it being imperiously necessary to remove every em-
't
rrassment opposed to the preservation of order, the
s rity of Peru, and the conquest of the last re-
tnal is of the enemy, I have thought fit to declare and
decree as follows:
" 1. Conformably to A: tide Ist of the Royal Decree,
purporting to be dated in Puerto de Santa Maria, Oc-
tober 1, 1823, and transmitted to me by General Ola-
neta in a printed paper without date, place, or imprint,
the authenticity of which is therefore uncertain; are
null and of no value all the acts of the Government
called Constitutional (of whatever class or kind those
acts may be), which has governed the Spanish people
from the 7th of March until this day, because, during
the whole of that perio4 the King our Lord being de-
prived of his liberty, vas obliged to sanction laws and
authorise orders, decrees, and regulations, 'which were
contrary to his will, prepared and expedited by the said
Constitutional Government.
• [2. This and other Articles to Article 9, farther quotes the De-
cree of Puerto de Santa Maria; after which rejoicings are ordered,
the troops are required to take a new oath of fidelity to Ferdinand,
the Constitutional stone to be removed from the places in which it
is erected, &c.]
41 9. Though, in consequence of this proceeding, the
first question which I proposed on the sth instant ap-
pears to be determined, nevertheless an opinion shall be
given upon it conformably to what the laws prescribe,
In order that the same may be in all times manifest.—
On this question, and on the second, the report required '
in my before-mentioned circular is expected with all
possible expedition. i
" 10. Should the Sovereign be displeased with these
measures on account of their being premature, and de-
structive of what is ordered and usually practised even
in inferior and detached objects and matters of infinitely
less weight and importance than the change of the sys-
tem of the Monarchy, it is to be hoped that his Majesty
will direct all his indignation against Gen. Olaneta, who,
by depriving me of the pleasure and glory of proclaim-
ing the triumph of the sacred and primitive tight of the
crown in the time and form prescribed, has rendered
necessary the illegal and prejudicial anticipation of this
act, for the important purpose of maintaining the unity
and good order of the provinces intrusted to my direc-
tion and care.

• 11. Under these circumstances, I flatter myself that
the inhabitants of Pew will give me a renewed proof
of their exemplary subordination, by paying a blind
obedience to the present Proclamation, in which there
is no necessity to insert any penalty for causing it to be
respected, as I do not apprehend that it will be contra-
♦ened by a single individual.
• A competent number of copies of this Procla-
mation must be printed, and circulated by the plinci-
pal authorities; the same is required to be made public
here, and in all other places, with the greatest possible
pbmp and solemnity.
