Amongst other e "orts to !Selfe passions, and 10 pmt

sion, and therefore addressed the document to the
Seerttaries of that Assembly. The Cortes, far from
entertaining it, have expressed their unreserved and
perfect approbation of the measures adopted by the:
Government.
It may be said with truth, that the Ii mows which
the Government has displa}ed on this occasion has
preserved the t;rown, Madrid, and the State, from the
greatest disasters.
'I he audvitv of the party who bad sent fur Itiego
was at its height, and it is apparent that the latter oust
bay,: entertained a very blind entifidence in their sop-
port,-to have sacrificed so imprudently all the chances
of ratline which were legivituately open to him It
was is contemplation to have given him. in the name
of the country, an extensive estate, and it env also
thought that the King would have added a title if
nobility of the first class.
Ais brattier, who is only a priest, was making it
Iciest to be elevated to the rank of Cqunsellor of Stat.,
and it was apparent, from every thing, that he was on
the point of obtaining it.
General fliers set oir this learning, at four o'cloAr,
with an eicorrif YO horse. who accompany him to the
Asturias.
It ua iv truly be laid that the six days he w.OS ie
Madrid w•rt• six days of tumult and of an approach-
ing crisis. Not a.slagle night passed without plots
and abortive designs: the disorder was ecaselesig, thu
government was continually assembled, and the gar.
rison elonstarOy tinder arms. Happily all tbe pre-
cantilns on the part of the authorities were well
taken. Daring the two last nights the guards were
doubled, and the two clubs were noise closely
watched. •

On the irtit instant, in the evening, a considerable
esaltitnde repai.ed to the Palace at the hour when the
King usually walk* ont. On the retntn of the Royal
nullity they si.outetl " Long live the King! Down
with the l'taga Itt perro!" The Car, and the In•
int Don Carlos, who were in separate earriages'were
enthusiastically applanded. It was easy to perc.eiee
that the people. wearied with the violence of the
clubs, arol the rails proceedin7s of Hiroo, were in-
dignant ;it the pertinneity of faction in persisting to
mire the chorus of a song, which, so often repeated
under the walls of the Palace, seemed a wilful aitat.k
upon Majesty.
In general it has been remarked with a iisely satis-
F factien, which is shared by all the sincere fritouls of
their count •y, that the Castilian:. trout the tittle of
itiego's entry, showed themselt-s eery indiffemot tw
the honour: it Leh welt. paid him, and that they now
openly ea :c how much they were opp,sed to the es-
ee...zei which were excited.
