the fruit. There were 800 gratis in all

"Since the period that unhappy events,
by natural consequence, disseminated
the seeds Of revolution in Spanish South
America, aud caused the most deplorable
efforts to be exerted 10 separate our sub
jects from their legitimate Sovereign, his
Catholic Majesty made the following
principles the invariable rule of his con-
duct First, To employ all the means
which human wisdom could suggest, to
recall the misled TO the path OF order and
obedience; aud secondly, To have re-
course to diplomatic negotiation for pc.
litical means Of accomplishing this desire.
The revolutionary enfranchisement of
South America, or its return to legitimate
authority, presents, indeed, considera-
tons of SO much importance in political
point of view, as to render it necessary
that the eyes of Europe, should be turned
to events which may introduce new
order Of things into the scale Of its po-
litical and commercial relations.
g The united efforts of the principal
European powers have already defeated
this disastrous system which nurtured
the American revolution but it still re-
mains for them to annihiIate this system
in America itself, where its effects are Of
the most alarming nature.
6 His Catholic Majesty having never
lost sight Of the two principles just stated,
and being always animated with desire
of putting period to the effusion of blood
and devastations, which are the deplora-
bic consequences of war of this nature,
only waited an occasion to call the at
tention Of the high allied powers to an
object, which has already Deeu at diner
ent times the subject of several notes adj
/ dressed to them, and recently OF the ne
/ quotations opened in so amicable manner
with bis royal highness the Prince Regent
/ of Great Britain.
/ "The insurrection of Pernambuco made
sensible impression upon the mind Of
his Catholic Majesty, and at the moment
when he wished to recommend this event
TO the attention of the sovereigns, his
allies, ii was necessary TO demonstrate his
connection with the general interests.
I" His majesty received the answers Of
bis high allies with the greatest satisfac-
tion.-They cleared the way to very i'm
portrait negotiations, and led the Powers
to interpose in the unfortunate circum.
stances in which America was placed, in
order that measures of prudence and
vigor might be adopted to reduce the re-
VOTED provinces, and put period to the
political contagion arising from such an
order of things.
10 support the continuance of pro-
ceedings SO happily commenced, his Ma
jesty considers, that the moment is arrived
when he ought solemnly aud categoricaIly
to represent to his High Allies, the prin-
ciples which he has prescribed to himself
to produce the good he had in view, and
such as, from his sentiments of humanity,
they ought to expect.
In consequence and 10 reference to
the propositions he has already made, his
Majesty now declares, that the following
are the points to which he has invariably
adhered -
81. General amnesty to the insurgents
on their submission.
60. Admission of native Americans,
endowed with the requisite qualification
10 all offices in common with European
Spaniards.
:" 3. Regulation of the commerce Of the
Provinces with Foreign States, according
to free principles, and conformably to the
present political situation Of these coun-
tries and Europe.
"A sincere disposition on the part Of
his Catholic Majesty to accede to all
measures which, in the course Of the ne.
gociations, may be proposed to him by his
high allies, and which shall be consistent
with the support Of his rights and dignity |
