Gibraltar, Goth Feb.
A conspiracy having been lately Disco
vered at Valencia, the object of which
seems to have been the overthrow Of the
existing government, several Of the indivi-
duals concerned in it were put to death in
that capital on the Goth January last, as
appears by the following proclamation.
Worthy Valeneians. loyal Warrior,,
My Brettrsn in firms!
The spectacle, this day offered to your
sight, ceases to be shocking when we think
of the crimes which have brought those
monsters to an gnominious death. To o.
verthrow the monarchy, to subvert the
laws. to indulge in plumber. vengeance and
murder, and, lastly, to drench the country
in blood: such were the objects which
they had in contemplation. They also in
tended to digrace you forever among your
countrymen, and, for this purpose, tried to
make you appear as the promoters and the
executors Of their designs. although they
did not apply to carry them into effect
They rested satisfied with the idea, that
they would thus cruelty wrong the fair
name of the inhabitants of Valencia, and
OF the troops composing the gqrrison-and, |
conscious, that they themselves were not
sufficiently void Of humanity to exc.
cute their own projects, they called eve
~ murderer to their assistance, and wish.
ed to set free the greatest delinquents, as
their only partizans, in order to get the
atrocious crime perpetrsted by them. But
Providence, which watches over US has u
sed means which, short-sighted as we are,
We look upon as extraordinary ones, to
make an end, in my opinion, of the enc
mics Of every throne, ofevery law, and Of
our religion-of the disturbers OF the peace
of spain-by enabling me to find out, and
to convict the thirteen wretches whom you
have just seen expire.
Haleneiuns! These were not the only
traitors amongstus; they have both satel- !
lites and accompliees in this kingdom, and |
the other parts Of the country and it is
for you. Worthy Valencians for you,
Spanish warriors, who were, at all times, |
patterns of fidelity to your king, and of
proper submission to the laws Of your fore
fathers !; for you who, by your grief and
the most commemorate demonstration, have
evinced your adherence of those monsters
it is for you to point them out TO me,
and for me to extirpate them. Your well
fare. your happiness IS concerned in it. -
y lille there is one alive, do not expect to
enjoy domestic tranquility. Until the err
roneous maxims Of libertinism he rooted
out. ye fathers, ye shall not have submis-
sive and affectionate sons--ye wives,
we shall not have loving and faithful com.
panions there shall be no friendship. no
good faith in the social or commercial in
tercourse laws shall be at an end the
very remembrance of social virtues shall
be blotted out we should ultimately de.
stroy each other, and sons murder their ia.
theirs from whom, they received their be-
ing, and the mothers who brought them up.
II you think this shocking picture is the
mere offspring of imagination. turn your
