Best faithful inhabitants OF the Island Of
Cuba. '.''' { .
The Unsuitable and fatal ambition ofthe
oppressor OF mankind made Us foresse that
Spanish America would enter in the plan
OF his usurpations, as I indicated to you
/ in my proclamation of the 18th Of March
last, and ought n"w to inform you, that
he has effectively begun to realize the m by
the same insidious means he praelissd 10
/. Europe.
IS r am positively Informed that the intru-
siys Joseph Bonaparse, the faithful execu-
tor OF his sanguinary and subyersive de-
crees,, has sent all emlssary to the United
States, accompanied BY ineendiary satel.
lites, sncharged with spreading the FIRE of
division and discord amongst Us, the ia
voriIe weapon OF the treacherous tyrans,
which has obtained him laurels enamelled
with Fobbsries and innocent blood.
Il isierue, that after his implous and a.
trocious operations, and in consequence OF
the sub.ime loyalty and patriotism insepe-
Jahle from the Spanish name, not being a.
bic to entertain the least hope OF finding nor
gaming partizans in these regions; but the
resources of his infamous arts being meal
fculahle, which fatal experience has shewn
US, It isrto be Presumed, he will take the
obliqne course of involving US in intestine
disssntions by means of impositions, ca
Iumnies and ssductions, in order to be-
nunibseul cooperation in favor of the glo-
rious national Instruction, to interrupt
and diminish The advantages which the ne.
1roic English nation derives from our com.
mefce andapplies towards the expenses OF
the holy war, and BY this order Of things
60 prepare the subjugation OF Spain, the
tcoaqu, ST and desola.ion of England, and
finally the dominion and slavery OF the A.
merioas. In the knowledge thereof we
would be criminals OF The most abandoned
nature If, BY considering his designs i'm
practicable, We were to forge, the necessa'
lyme assures to apprshend the abovemrn
tionsd satellites, stopping the FIRE in its o.
rigin and perhaps prsvensing it, only by
taking anticipated and seasonab!e measures.
! falver myself, thar the chiefs, magis.
