SITTING OF 111 E CORTES, ACM 2.
•
D. Jose VALLE, a Member of the Itrita.of Catelo-
• nia-, presented a plan of a Constitution, which was
transmitted to the Committee sitting on the subject.
Theadvocate D. Jose CAMINO submitted the ne-j
cessity ;of admitting nobles and plebeians, v‘ ithout '
distinction, into the military colleges, and abolishing
'the perni(s9us custom which had hitherto prevailed, ,
.in consequence of which the higher orders alone 'n.
joyed this privilege ; thus rendering useless the talents I
and excellent dispo,itiOns of many young men, who,
froth the want of this chimerical privilege, were depriv.
ed of the means of advancing, and becoming useful to
their cot *try. With reference to this subject, there
was read a judicious Report front the Committee of
' War, founded on the two principles, that all men in
' the order of nature are equal, and that he is most
worthy of respect who renders himself useful to so-
ciety by his knowledge and his virtues. Hence it ,
was deduced, that hereditary nobility ought not to-'
, •be preferred before merit and application, die. The 1
'Committee therefore proposed the following points ,
for the sanction of the Cortes :
Ist. That respectable individuals should be admitted in succes-
sion to the military colleges, and even though they should not
" be Not:L.s ; and,
. .. idly, That the same should take place in the Marino and other
corp,, abrogating all former orders in opposition to this measure.
. . The sth iiist. was appointed for the discussion of
. • , this proposition. '
• ". • The Committee of Finance and of matters ecclesi-
astical,
plying to Ale military hospitals the sums destined for,
religious fraternities, prebendships, and other, pious
1 ' ...
uses. - With this view, they submitted a plan of pro-
• cedu.ie ; and to prevent any religious scruples, they
prop iised tliat the Cardinal Cle Bourbon, and such perk
. 16r.s as he suigltt appoint, should assist in this matter.
•Vather Loera—“lopspose this measure; the Church

merchant may be benefited in the first instance, yet
the nation at large is U. greatest gainer.
4g In my opinion, to 01. :n the commerce of America
to the English would be equivalent to giving it to
them exclusively. It would, in short, make them
absolute masters of all that is consumed in those vast
regions ; for neither our mercantile marine, nor the
productions of our agriculture, our arts, and our ma-
nufactures, can enter into competition with their's.—
The infallible consequence will be, the destruction of
the little that the French have left of those elvmentst
of national prosperity ; the influx of money, which is
the sinew of war, will disappear for ever ; and the
French, without enemes or oppoiition, will be lords
of Spain, and of the few or many Spaniards, who in
Consequence of a decree will not be allowed to emi-
grate to another country
.where they can have the
means of existence, off with them the re:

grenadiers of the Imperial cavalry guard, 2500
infantry ; $OO belonging to the Paris guards are ex-
pected to stay here, and the remaining 2000 to march
to Valladolid, part of which will proceed from thence"
to France.
From the brag discourse which it appears the in-
trusive King had with the Corporation of the City,,
