undertaktin under such ittspeelles, impraiticabie or
li:this to ..fatai collmiquentu—r4o, in fact, history
furnishes us with fsequeat examples of Geaerals and
Kings; who, though"suffering under the.gout, have
made long joornsys, fought battles, and discharged
hard and pkinful duties,.
• " The Commission would not, Certainly, propose
that the respectable person of the King should be
submitted to . the slightest inconvenience, if they did
not think it of the highest importance. The real and
grave dangers of his Majesty and the country oblige
them' to choose the least of two evils.
14 In fact, the danger which menaces the King and
the State is, that the enemy's troops, in approaching
the capital, would produce misery and trouble, and
then it would not be certain that the King, ill; would
have time to fly in haste, deprived of all the necessary
comforts, and being exposed at every step, which
would naturally increase his physical sufferings, and
affect his moral situation. Good and loyal Spaniards
who love their King and country, would tremble at
the idea of seeing their Sovereign abandoned to his
fate at a terrible crisis, when all the elements of evil
would be let loose by the enemies of the country.
" Such are the powerful reasons which, in the opi-
nion of the Commission counterbalance the reasons of
the professional men, and render the departure of the
King indispensable. If his Royal Person should suf-
fer from them, it would be a very afflicting thing for
the Commission, the Cortes, and the Nation; but it
would perhaps be more prejudicial to all and to
the dignity of his Majesty, that the journey should be
still deferred, since the safety of the King and the
country depend upon the journey.
" The Commission think they ought to declare
with frankness to the Cortes, that founded upon mo-
tives already developed, and after having heard the
Ministers, that the departure of the King was never
more necessary than at the present moment. The
horrible plots contrived to oppose it, would be suffi-
cient to convince the Commission of the necessity of
the measure, if they had any doubts. Let the Cortes
uhibit a great character; let them place themselves
if necessary, above certain considerations displaced at
the present moment, however respectable they might
be .at other times—let them cast Limit eyes upon the
country which deserves all their affection, and let
them deign to approve of the following proposal
which the Commission have the honour to submit :
" That a Deputation be sent ix) the King, to an-
nounce to his Majesty that the Cortes hope he will
deign to set off before the 18th instant, and fix, be-
tween the present and that epoch, the precise day and
hour he shall deem it proper to select for the purpose
of setting out on his journey, and inform the Cortes,
who will remain in permanent sitting, until his Ma-,
jesty's answer be known, to act afterwards in con.
sequence."
By appeal nominal, the advice of the Commission
WAS adopted by a majority of 10-1. against 33.
A Deputation was immediately sent to the King.
The Deputation sent to the King retuseied, and
announced that the King was ready to set off, and
had fixed his departure for the 17th instant. His
Majesty, however, manifested his desire to delay the
journey to the 20th, if the Cortex did not see any in-
convenience in the delay.
After a slight discussion, the Cortes complied with
the delay wished for by his Majesty.
