Criminal indictment against Don Raphael Riegn, in

(For the Preamble see the following eslumit.)
" The infamous [Hero, availing Idiom.lf of the baseness
of the soldiers destined to itei'y America, forgetting the
duties imposed upon hiin by the mission with which he
was charged, and proclaiming a Constitution which had
been abolished by his Sovereign, ileatriict lye of his sacred
rights, the basis of an anarchical thivernment„ and thi'
destroyer of the fitodamental 13WA of the monarchy, of our
manners, of our customs, and of our holy religion—the
infamous Kiego, I say, is the author of all these calamities ;
it is he who has caused the eyes of a jnst and magnanimous'
King to shed tears over the misfortunes of Spain ; it is he
who has disregarded the most sacred duties, who has
violated the oath which he twit beneath the banners of his
King and master, at thr moment when he commenced the
honourable career ofaross—it is Itiego, in fart, who not only
published that Yn.c'a,uation, but who, putting himself at
the head of a licei-tions soldiery. violated the Spanish
territory, forcing the inhabitants, by the terror of his anus,
to partake of his treason and perjury. He removed the
authorities who were legi dinwely constituted, substituting
for them Constitutional authorities, composed of rebels and
demagogues. which obtained for him the name of the Hero
of Las Cebrzas ; he compelled the King our legal to accept
this odious Constitution, the source of so many miseries to
Spain.
Since that period, Kiev has incessantly been an ob-
ject of opprobrium to the Peniustila, by presenting I self
in the public squares and in the balconies of all the houses
where he lodged, preaching rebellion, causing the fatal
Constitutional sys!em to triumph, and authmiding the meat
heinous crimes, the inevitable result of a revolution which
inflicted upon the august and sacred person of his Majesty
the Walcott bitterness and outrage."
" If your Fiscal orProsecutor uses the right that his ministry
gives him, and gathers together all the charges against Klett°.
he will bring to day such a series of crimes of all deseriptionv,
that the noble people of Spoilt will cry out " Death to the
traitor Meg.). '
" According to all considerations the Fiscal requires that the
traitor Raphael Siege, charged b;th and convicted of the crime
of High Treason. shall lie condemned. and his property be
confiseated—that his head shall be exposed at Las Cabezas de
San Juan, and that hiS body be divided Into four quarters—of
which one shall be taken to Seville, another to the Island of
Leon, the third to Malaga, and the fourth shall be 'exposed in
this capital."
