MADRID, JULY 16.
The Superior Political Chief has addressed the
following Remonstrance to the Citizens who attend
the Club at the Fontana d'Oro
" Critzasys—Oa the 16th of last month I explained to the
Public, in a very clear manner, my ideas and my desires respect-
ing the Club which you attend with the plausible object of
giving and recrivins information. I called to mind the obliga-
tions which you ought always to have in view in that Meeting,
and the objects which, according to the principles of the Consti-
tution, you ought solely to propos: ; and 1 concluded by de-
claring, that the abuse of the liberty of speech never could be
permitted, whether it proceeded from malice or was the effect
of ignorance. ,

" Notwithstanding such serious warnings, I have seen that
the unssasonable violence of some speakers, the ignorance and
imprudence of others, have led it to the extreme of permitting
the diffusion of erroneous doctrines, contrary to the sacred in-
violability of the King—of eulogizing scenes of horror and of
bloodshed which make humanity shudder, and at which every
evilised nation blushes—of descending to injurious personalities,
prohibited by the laws—and of seekitig to mislead public opinion
so as to approve and sanction, as indispensable and just, the
beeaking through of the restraints of the law, and in contempt of
it, employing culpable measures foreign to the dignity and mag-
nanimity of the Spanish Nation, whose distinguishing charac-
t . ri s is has been moderation and wisdom, even in the most trying
political crisis.
" Such great abuses have excited in my heart the most pain-
ful feelings, on reflecting that the school of knowledge and virtue
might be converted, if they should continue, into a tumultuous as-
aembly, and inevitably plunge us in the most disastrous anarchy.
And, in truth, what other result can be expected, if, under the
pretext of supporting our beloved liberty, it is attacked by
direct invitations to despise the laws by which it is guaranteed,
instead of earnestly inculcating the salutary principle that liberty
itsall can only be secured by a sacred obedience (sanfa esclarilud)
to the laws, and by the rigorous observance of our political Con-
stitution' What advantage to the system does he propose who
despises, and excites other to despise, its fundamental bases?
" After having become an object of admiration and esteem
to all Europe, by our judicious and peaceable conduct in the
restoration of order, shall we, by want of reflection, incur the
disgrace of losing the reputation so ;astly gained, and make our-
selves an object of horror, of pity, aad of contempt, in the eyes We publish to-day, in another part of our Paper,

We copy from the board of the New England
Coffee-house the following official account of the
occupation of the Falkland Islands, by a Naval force,
in the name of the " Supreme Government of the
United Provinces of South Amciica." We arc at a
loss what particular Authority to recognize by this
title ; but must presume that the capture is one way
or other made on account of the Independent interest.
These Islands lie to the east of the Straits of Ma-
