ANSWER TO THE SUPREME JUNTA PROTECTING THE
OF FERDINAND VII. IN VENEZUELA.
Most excellent Sir—The letter received from tour
Excellency of the 13th of February last, accmints
us with the steps taken by the body calling itself
a Council of Regency, to remedy as much as pos-
sible, the afflicting disorders caused by
_the scan-
dalous abuses of authority, which for twenty yeare
to the present time have prevailed, closing the gate
on persons of knowledge, patriotism, and merit, and
at the same time opening it to others, who were de.
paved and immoral, to the manifest prejudice of the
interests of his Majesty and the public.
The Supreme Juuta,.which at present governs these
provinces, sees with pleasure the intentions of that
Body to suppress the public abuses, but with pain the
inadequate means taken for the purpose ; suchits the
decrte of the Central Junta of Aranjuez, of the 26th
Octo'ser, which was wholly nugatory on the ream-
v.ll of the Junta to Seville, when practice,: more dis-
, pvaceful were resorted to, than those which degra-
ded the Mini :ters under Charles IN'.
This c•Aintry has been opprt- sed, mare if posslble

by internal despotism, than by foreign extortion ; it
has been continually outraged by wicked Govern°, 6,
whose ignorance and rapacity hare been greater in
proportion to their distance from the centre of autho-
rity. To that authority we hare in rain lookt4 for
redress, and we have endured all the digresses cBn•
sequent on such a s'tuation.
(nds imporumt itytrument then proceel.; to elate the eerie% of
calamities and the excess of injustice to wi:ich these remote do-
minicms have been exposed, and the inadequate redress suggested
for them, and particularly remarks on the inn:nicer/1 repreterta-
Lion proposed for Americans In the Cortes, and that ii the lA..
liws were enacted by authorities perfect!). legitimate, )rt that 'h...
could have no security for their laic mfat exec:dun. It then p..'.
ce.:ds pursuing the same sentiment.)

Of what use would the most pnlect crstem of le-
gislation be to us, if the Captain-General shall lie
allowed to say with impunity that his will is para-
mount to all law—and if we apply for protection
tram his tyranny, the power to which appeal it
too distant to hear our complaints, or considers all its
swereignty transferred to its unwo: thy Representa-
tives ? _

_
Those who have been concerned -in any
branch of public affairs ih those Indies are already
convinced of the truth of what we have asserted, eVIZi
if it were convenient could prove it by the mint in-
disputable testimony. We shall satisfy ourselves with
adducing a single esample. The Supreme Councils
tired of hearing complaints against the Real Audi-
encia of this capital, persons had recourse to an et-
pedient suggested in such cases by the Indian Legis-
lature,.but which had been disused on account of its
little influence, and the negligence of the Spanish Go-
vernment. _ _

.....
A Judge, in the character of a viskor or Officer of
Appeal, arrived in this capital, clothed with that au-
thority which is usually conferred on Ministers en-
gaged on such important commissions. On this oc-
casion hundreds of persons hastened to him to obtain
the redress of their grievances, and the disgrace of
the Mtgistrates ache !tad perverted the designsof jus-
tice by the most scandalous practices. But what hap-
pened ? Did the injured persons receive indemnity ?
Was one Magistrate removed ? No. Tile crowd of
complainants were sent away by the Judge of Api.
peal, with this satisfactory answer to their a censatiors,
that tae decisions of the Real Audiencia were irrevo-
cable ; and the persons guilty of these offences, and
charged with them by the people, were assigned more
productive employments than, they before enjoyed...—
This was not all.. The public finances incurred a
xonsiderable cxpence for the high duty of this Visitor
and his dependants, lie himself augmented the mis-
chiets, and those evils which he was appointed to re-
move, continued without remedy.
Oise Address concludes with apologising far the plain harm,
d on a subject of to much impiattance to be treated stills
tergiversation, and with expressing that the first duty of the
country is to maintain its allegiance and fidelity to its rightful So.

Last night are received Dutch papers to the 4th
instant, from which it appears, thlt the late King of
HOLLAND had arrived at Dresden, on the 11th, and
after a short stay, proceeded to Toplitz, intending to
use the waters either there or at Carshad. • But-the
article which will excite mo:,t interest is the following

ADDRESS OF KING LOUIS

TO THE I4EGISLATIVE BODY, ON HIS ABDICATION: "

Gentlemen—l charge the Ministers to come to
the Council to present to your assembly the resolu-
tion which I find myself compelled to take in conse-
quence of the military occupation of my capital.—
The brave French soldiers have no other enemies than
such as are enemies to the eornupon cause of Holland
and myself. They are and ought to be received with
all the regards and civility possible, but it is not less
true that in the actual relation of Holland, when an
entire army, a crowd of custom-house officers, and
when even the national army is taken from under the
power of Government ; when every place, with the
exception of the capital, was under the orders of a
foreign officer, I thought' it right to declare to Mar-
shal the Duke of Reggio and the Chargé d'Affaires
from the Emperor, that if they occupied the capital
and its vicinity, I should consider that operation As a
manifest violation of the rights of the people, and the
most sacred tights among men.

" It was this which made me refuse the custom-
house officers entrance into Mettdon, Naardeu, and
Damau.• I was right in doing so ; because the treaty
did not authorise the presence of custom-house officers
but upon the bank of the sea, and the mouths of rivers.
" On the 16th of June I received, through the
Charge d'Affaires of his Majesty the Emperor and
King, an assurance that it was not his intention to
occupy Amsterdam, and that led me to hope that he
would abide strictly by a treaty, the conditions of
which were drawn up by his Majesty the Emperor•
himself. Unfortunately my error was not of long
duration, as I received a communication that twenty
thousand French troops had united in the environs of
Utrecht. I consented, notwithstanding the extreme
penury and embarrassment of our finances, to furnish
them with .subsistence and other necessary things,
although the treaty precisely expressed that there
should be 6000 men only maintained at the expence
at the kingdom. But I feared that this collecting of
troops was done with miler views unfavourable to our
government; and late in the night of the 29th, I re-
ceived official information that his Majesty the Em-
peror insisted upon the occupation of Amsterdam,
and the establishment of the French head-quarters in
that capital.
" Under these circumstarces, Gentlemen, you
cannot doubt that I was willing to suffer for my
people fresh humiliations, if I could have preserved
the hope of being able to support such a state, and
'above all, to prevent new evils ; but I could not de-
ceive myself any longer—l have signed a treaty,
dictated by France, under the conviction that mea-
sures, the most disagreeable for the nation and fur
myself, would not be followed up ; and that, sa.
tisfied with my voluntary abdiciaion, which is the
consequence of the said treaty, every thing would
go on smoothly between France and llolland.
" The treaty presents, indeed, a great number
of pretences and of now grievances and accusa-
tions ; but can pretences be ever wanting ? I
ought then to have confided in the explanations
and communications which have been made to me
besides this treaty, and in the formal and circum-
stantial declaration which I have not failed to do ;
such as that the custom-house officers would only
interfere in the measures relating to the blockade ;
that the French troops should only remain on
the coast; that the domains-of the state and those
of the crown should be respected ; that the debts
of the countries which had been ceded would
be charged to France; in a word, that from the
number of troops which were to be furnished, there
should be deducted those, which at this moment are
at the disposal of France in Spain, and even that for
the maritime strength the necessary t.zne should be
allowed. I have always flattered myself that the
treaty would be admitted I have been mistaken ;
and the entire devotion I have manifested for my
duty on the Ist of last April has only tended to drag
on and prolong the existence of the country for three
Months. _ _

----
" I have the cruelly grievous satisfaction, yet the
only one which now I can have, that I hare fulfilled
my obligations to the end ; that I have (if I am so
permitted to speak) sacrificed to the existence and to
the weiJare of the country more than could be expect-
ed ; but, alter the submission and ..,he resignation of the
Ist of April, 1810, I should be much to blame if I
consepted to retain the title of King. being no longer

but an instrument, no 104treommandingnot only in
the country, but eveo4toYoWn capital, and perhaps
soon not even in my iialace:.' •
04. I should be neverdie ess a witness of every thin
that Might bb gals on, without- being able to do
any thing for my people, responsible for all oecur
fences without the -power to prevent them or their
influence; I should have exposed myself to the ann.
plaints of both sides, and perhaps have occasioned
great misfortunes ; by doing which I should have be-
trayed my conscience, my people, and duty. I have,
for a long time foreseen the extremity to which I am
now reduced, but I could not have prevented it with-
out sacrificing my most sacred duties, without ceasing
to have at heart the interest of my people, and with-
out ceasing to connect my fate with that of-the coun-
try. Now that Holland is reduced to that condition,
I have, as King of Holland, but one course to take,
and that is to abdicate the throne in favour of my
children ; any other cause would have only augment-
ed the misfortunes of my reign. I should have affec-
tionately a painful duty. I should have perhaps seen
often the peaceable inhabitants victims to contentions
of Governments, destroyed at once—How then could
an idea of resistance ever enter my mind ?
4, My children, born Frenchmen like myself, would
have seen in a just cause, but which they would not
have believed to be solely mine, the blood of their,
countrymen flow. I had then but one course to take.
My brother, so violently irritated against me, is not
so against .my children ; and, doubtless, he will
not destroy what he has done, and deprive them
of their inheritance, since he has not, nor can
have, any subject of complaint, who will not for a
long time to come to reign himself.— His mother,
to whom the Regency appertains by the Constitu-,
tion, will do every thing that shall be agreeable to
the Emperor, my brother, and will succeed bet-
ter than myself, who have never succeeded in any
endeavours of that kind ; and at the conclusion of a
maritime peace, perhaps before, my brother knowing
the state of things in this country, the esteem its in-
habitants merit, how much their welfare accords with
the interests well understood of his empire, will do
for this country all it has a right to expect, as the re-
ward of its numerous sacrifices to France, of its fide-
lity, and of the interest with which it cannot fail to
inspire those who judge of it without prejudice. Per-
haps I am the only obstacle to the reconciliation of
this country with France, and should that be so, I
might find some kind of consolation in dragging out
the remainder of a wandering and languishing life at
a distance from the first objects of my whole affection,
this good people, and my son. These are my prin-
cipal motives, there are others equally powerful, with
respect to which I must no silent, but they will easily
be divined.

The Emperor, my brother, though strongly pre;
judiced against me, must feel that 1 could not act
otherwise. He is great, and he ought to be just.

44 As to you, Gentlemen, I should be much more
unhappy even than I am, if possible, could I imagine
that you would not do justice to my intention. Maya
the end of my career prove to the nation and to you,
that I have never deceived you ; that I have had but!
one aim—the true interest of the country ; that the
faults I may have committed are solely to be ascri-
bed to my zeal, which caused me to employ not al-
ways the best, but the most practicable means of
overcoming the difficulty of circumstances.
44 I had never proposed to myself to govern a na-
tion so interesting, yet so difficult as yours. 13e, Gen-
tlemen, Try advocate with the nation ; inspire it with
an attachment for the Prince Royal, who deserves it,
if I may judge from his happy natural disposition.
The queen has Me same interests as myself. I
cannot, Gentlemen, conclude without recommending
to you in the most earnest mariner, and in the name
of the interest and of the existence of so many families,
whose lives and property would be infallibly com-
prqmised, to receive the Frmch with the attention,
with kindness, and the cordiality which is clue to
the brave people of the first nation in the Universe ;
to your friends, to your allies, uho consider obedience
as the first of duties, but which they cannot fail to
esteem the more in proportism as they become ac-
quainted with a nation, brave, iadustrious, and wor-
thy of esteem under every consideration.
64 In whatever place I may happen to terminate
my days, the name of Holland, and the most liv'ely
prayers for its happines, will be my last words, will be
my last thoughts.
July I, 1810.

Thttjntercourse between this country and France,
on the subject of an exchange of Prisoners, still con-
tinue. A Messenger WAS dispatched from the Ad-
miralty yesterday for Morlaix.
Though no real account* have for some time been
been 'received from Portugal, vasious rumours eon-
tinue in circulation. One report states, that an en-
gagement could not be avoided : another, that it had
been avoided, by the retreat of our army from the pre.
sence of a much more numerous force ; a third re,
port says, that a sanguinary battle has been fought,
and terminated favourably to the British : but dun
we had lost 5000 men, and that Lord WELLINGTOx.
had been wounded. None of these reports rest on
good authority.

Our Readers must often have remarked that the
title of the French official documents respecting mili-
tary. operations used to be Bulktint ; that name has
been changed in the details respecting the proceedings
of Napoleon's troops in Spain. They are now termed
Abstract, of the Correspondence of the different Ge-
nerals. The lut of these that has appeared presents
such a picture of a whole people up in arms, as we
believe has been seldom exhibited to the world before.

It is, even by the French account, not in this quar-
ter or that only, that Spain is in an insurrectionary
state, but every where. Let any man take the cur.
respondence of the French Generals in one kind, and-
the map of Spain in the other, and he will find how
the operations detailed in the former will gradually
conduct him over the whole sulfate of the latter.---
First, the efforts of Sebastiani arc directed to the re.
duction of the insurgents of G..renacht and Murcia, in.
the south-esisternmost point of. Spain, against whom,
by the way, he appep.rs to have had no great success;
as it is stated, that oft the moment of his retreat,
41 some bands that had come from Valentia succeeded
in forming fresh corps in those provinces." In the
opposite corner of the Peninsula, it is said that Bon-
net had defeated the insurgents of Acturia, and that
he had strength sufficient to penetrate into Gallicia,
but that 46 he had received orders to remain in his
actual position. in expectation of ulterior events."
The state of Cadiz, and the Isle of Leon, we all
know—and in die opposite quarter of Catalonia, it is
asserted that the army of insurgents is in the utmost
state of dejection, from which we learn that there is
still an army of insurgents on foot. Estremadura isi'
still unsubdued—Bidajos it is acknowledged, will re-
quire a regular siLge, in the west— and so in the east
will Tortnsa and TarrAgona, which towns the Va-
kncians are prepared to assist with a regular force of
16,000 men.

The Ronda is still all hostile to the French in the
South, and their ci,nimunications with their own coun-
try are intercepted iii Navarre by men who are termed
straggling bands of brigands ;" whilst in the inte-
rior, there is acknowledged to have been an unde-
feated army at Crimea, under General Villa-campo ;
and insurgents front thence all around to Talavera ;
so that, as we said before, the whole hind is insuiree.;
tionin y, and in arms against its oppressors.
What the result of this tremendous conflict maybe
it is impossible to tell. The protractLd resistance of
the Spaniards and the change that has taken place in
their mode of warfare, by avoiding gene engage-
ments as much as possible, tend to strengthen the
hope that their efforts may ultimately prove success-
: But, on the other hand, it is to be feared that
such powerful reinforcements as NA POI, LOS may force
into the peninsula by his oppressive conscription, join-
ed to the machinations of his numerous emissaries, and
the treasons of those miscreants who have been bribed
or seduced from their allegiar:ze to their country, may
at length weary out an exhausted people, and make
them prefer any yoke to the prospect of an endless
war.

Whatever may be the result of the struggle, Spain
we think must ultimately be benefited. Should NA-
POLEON succeed in forcing a new dynasty on that
country, the new sovereignty must have interests so
different from those of France, that it will tease in a
few years 'to act cordially—at the latest this period
cannot exceed the period of NAPOLF.ON'S natund life.
Should the Spaniards triumph, 'they will have been
great gainers by the conflict, for it is morally impos-
sible that a worn-out system, when once it is over-
turned, can ever be again restored ! The same fa-
mily may reign, names of office spay continue, but in
all the essentials of Government the political fabric
must be renovated, and • the people beugated in pro.
portion.
