be lit' Ii: ;t to applaud U 3, as it was the first to assist
us in our insurrection, to ackwv..v lodge the Cortes,
anti to praise the pAltiotimn and thl virtues of the
people.
All will 'applaud us, if we continue to show in
our conduct that prudent- •and circumspection which
have always guided us, and if taught by csperietire
we improve our institutions by a,siltilating them to

" Yes,Spaninrds ; prudence wil: never abandon us ;
the good of the coutitry must be our sole object;

j-et, C',tupelle•d by necessity, seeing that truth cari-
oca penetrate to the ears of the King, who is, us it
were, besieged by his Coueseller, unless it is sup-
ported in a mariner to make itself respected, we
have taken the terrible, but necessary, resolution,
to demood by arms what has been refused to more
gentle means. Our object, like that of nil Spaniards,
is no other than the establishment of the Mouarchy
under wise laws, It hick, at the same time that they
secure the prerogatives of the King, may likewise
insure to us our rights. We require the coevocation
of Cortes named by the people, who may make in
the Constitution proclaimed in the Extraordinary
Cortes, those changes which our situation demands ;
which experience has taught us, and which the Con-
stitutions of the limited Monarchies of Europe re-
quire. The Cortes, by introducing order into our
ficances, wilt take care of the soldier, will reward
the deserving warrior, will insure his subsistence iu

trifling part of their privileges, may be indemnified
by the changes which the Cortes make in the Consti-
tution, by giving them a political existence. The

In ti►r spiritual salvation of the faithful, being better

the manufacturer will aenin enjoy the benefits which
they had Urged to drive from the changes made by
the Cortes in tl.eir fr•veur. The public creditor,
with a good at udni:tratiott of the funds of the public
credit, will ag .iti hope to be indemnified for the ad-
vances arid the It-ses e hick have berm brought upon
him by his services, or by his faith in the promises of
the Stete.

" ThesP, Spat•ia,ds, are the wishes of the Cortes,
they are ours, tst.;l they win doubtless be again the
wishes of the Cows when they meet. For such
holy purposes, we invite all our sister provinces to
unite with us, with the brave defenders of the coun-
try, with their worthy Officers, and their illustrious
Gotesals ; iii short, with all the Spaniards of alt,
classes. Firm io our purpose, we will not lay down I
our arms (if we should he obliged to employ them)
WI we have obtained it ; and as we shall embrace
every Spaniard wbo shall offer to joist the banners of
tlu• country, we shall prosecute without mercy thn•e
who, without love for their country, and encodes to
the King, would rather lease him in the hands of
vile Counsellors than try to rescue hiss, from their
power, and open his eyes to their pernicious counsels.
Oar conduct shall be a model to our enemies ; pro-
perty shall be respected, and personal liberty not
disturbed ; but woe to those who, availing themselves
of the august name of the King, shall venture to in-
sult or to persecute any individual ; they shall be
responsible, and if they cannot be taken, those per-
sons shall be so whom we consider as hostages. Se-
cure in the justice of the cause which we defend, the
world shall see that Spain, valiant and persevering in
defending her country, is no less illustrious anti
courageous w hen she has to defend her rights and
liberties.

It is a singular therm:Vance, that the prices of
Cotton instead of being depressed since the peace
with America; as general!), expected, have advanced
from S.I. to ls. per lb. on account of the flourishing
state of our Cotton manufactures. Cottons are now
so high in this errantry, rind in so great recinest, that
the shipments from the United States to tfie Conti-
nental ports are immediately forward.d to Ktigland.
