events which have occurred in our mother

crown, executed by our beloved monarch
Charles ". and his son, Ferdinand VII.
and the removal OF the whole of the royal
family to France, l consider you as anxious
to fix your opinion upon matter in which
your loyalty is SO deeply interested. This
anxiety must have been greatly increased
By the arrival OF the French agent, who
brought over various dispatches for this SUI
pre- ms government. The clamors of the
minimizing haze reduced your accredited
enthusiasm to state of irresolntion. The
not Immediately declaring to you the OBJ
jects of his mission may perhaps have ap-
peared to YOU want of confidence very
contrary to that which place in you, and
which your patriotism has merited. But
whist you Wtre employed in idle conjec-
lures, the fathers of the country, your ma
gistrates aud chief, who has repeatedly con-
Quoted YOU to glorious triumphs, were in
cessantly occupied ia deylsing the best
means Tor maintaining your character, IN
terest and tranquility.
/" From an examination Of the contents OF
all the dispatches, it appears that the en-
peror of the French has been compelled to
recognize the absolute independence OF the
