You have, FOR twenty years together, O.
beyed, with gnexeeptionaht loyalty, the.all-
gust monarch OF Spain, ever treadins IN the
STEPS of your foretatiers; YOU have made
suitable returns to his paternal love, ard
shared the iust ancer: which the council
expressed to his majesty respecting his alb.
dication, on the day following that On which
il TOOK place. If we published his success
ors accession to the throne, it was merely
to comply with his supreme commands
We would have long continued submissive
and faithful to his nlajesty, five had under
stood, that his ahdication ard resignation OF
the crown was not accompanied with the re.
quisite spontaneous freedom.
Ever since Charles " made it known
that bis abdication had been forced from
him, and that he deemed himself fully enti-
tied to resume the crown, the board OF So
vernlnent, the council Of CASTLE, and the
whole nation, have been onxi.usly waiting
for the decision OF a question OF such high
importance and the council have examined
with the creates st attention, the documents
upon which the powerful umpire who has
been appointed for that purpose, has ground
ed his determination. TIE most important
ofthese are suhjoined here; and in she OPT
Mon formed by the council, they have the
certainty, that they have not ieviated from
that which the august party himself would
have adopted, if less complicated circuln-
stances had not opposed that concert. 1t is
undoubtedly unfortunate, that the union OF
the fathers of this people his not yet taken
place; but this misfortune will prove less
distressing to their benshcent hearts, as the
result of the late events holds out hastering
hopes for the future, and the nation will
shortly be enabled to proceed, with steady
steps in the career of her happiness and pros
perity.
7 Those hopes begin to be realized, since
the king has appointed, to supply his place
in the government of these kingdoms, a
prince who, without any other interest than
that Of Spain, already evinced by his bene-
hcent and unremitted exertions at the head
of his army, devotes himself with eagerness
andthe most suitable means, to whatever is
conducive to her glory and felicity.
The board of government which shares
all the sentiments of the council, have view
ed the crisis Of the preceding events in the

are. hesie eed. or when a scarcity in the coun-
trv;s threatened, which obliges the general
commandingto take precautions Tor the s !,
sistence of his troops, by establishing de-
pots. But, exclusive Of these clrcumstanc-
es, this measure only serves TO create sus-
n;;c;on and distralst. Neither my conduct,
nor the constant moderation OF my troops,
nor the favorable reception the French ar
NV have met with, ought to excite alarm.
The town is provided with supplies q e
very description, as you VIII perceive from
the annexed statement OF the intendant ;
and. even although there should be some
deficiency, your excellency gives US the
strongest assurance, that provisions are col
lecting at the ports Of France, which are
to be sent to this country, freeof dsty.
His majesty the emperor and king, whose
worthy name has inspired US with conn
dence, while his troops occupy our forts,
being truly informed Of our doclllty and no.
norable principles, will not be well pleased
when he hears, that you alarm this clty WIN
terrible forcbodings, as a recompense Tor It's
constant Submissive conduct.
Your excellency will be pleased to request
the opinion Of his imperial majesty respect
Ing your determination before you carry +
into effect, and to accompany your request
with this explanation Of mine, as | saali lay
the business before the king my master,
without whose orders | cannot give to your
excellency what the forts Il possession Of the
Spanish troops have not.
Iii, before YOU receive the resolution OF
the emperor, your exceliency should ind
grounds for living With precantion, and uo-
der the influence of fear, In the forts which
1t present are to be considered as forming
part of the town, then the measure you pro-
pose might be rssorted to with proPriety.-5
But, in the mean time, when 70 such Eeces-
sity exists, wish to impress on your mind,
that it will serve no good purpose to supply
the ferts with stores OF provisions; thatsuch
an intention is pointed andtofensive and
that it will not be in the power CT your excel
leacy, or myself, to remedy the consequence
of the sensation which such a measure may
excite among the inhabitants.
Your excelicncy viii be pleased, to accept
of nv most higa consideration. May God
preserve you mar. years.
