decreed as follows:
The general and extraordinary Cortes, in
conformity to their decree of the oath Of Sep
teniber last, in which they declared the re.
nunciations made at Bayonne, by Don Fcidi-
nand the seventh, the legitimate king of Sp lin
and Indies, to be null, and totally void, not
only from his deprivation of liberty, but also,
and principally, from their being destitute Of
the most essential and indispensable requisite,
the consent of the nation-Resolve, that, they
will not acknowledge, but on the contrary
shall, and do consider as null and of no value
or effect, any act, treaty, covenant or transac-
ton Of whatever kind or nature, which may
have been or may be executed or entered into
by the king during the continuance ofhis pre-
sent state of oppression and captivity, whether
the same may have been executed IN the coun-
try OF the enemy, or even II Spain, it at such
time his royal person is surrounded by the
arms, or under the influence direct or indl-
rect, of the usurper of his crown; since the
nation will never consider him free, nor will
they pay him obedience, until he is among
his faithful subjects in the bosom of the ma
tional congress, which exists at present or
may in future exist, or Of the government
formed by the Cortes. They likewise resolve
that every violation of this decree, shall be
considered by the nation as an act of hostility
against the country, the yiolator being re-
sponsihle to the utmost rigor OF the iaws.---

nation which they represent, will never tor
moment lay down their arms, nor listen to a
ny proposition of accommodation, or compro.

gencv. and in order that it may be known and
