PROCLAMATION OF NINA.
Soidiers--lt abandoned the capital o
France, where the hope of being useful t.
you one day, had led me; aud il / have
returned TO Spain, it is to unite all my
means with the forces at the gates Of Ca
diz, which have heroically invoked thu
names Of the Constitution and tile Cortes
against the efforts Of tyranny and despo
iism. The memory of the heroes OF thu
constitutional army OF the south Of Spain
shall not be less immortal through future
ages, than the iutrepidity with which they
have declared themselves for the cause o
their country and the glory which awaits
them shall be the reward OF their labor
and testimony Of national gratitude.
Soldiers of every class, depend 90 you
all without distinction. +: shat! have shs
pleasure Of seeing united by my side
those who formerly served under my or
ders, or who have been enrolled in the
corps of partizaus, or any other OF the
Constitutional armies which are to rise In
the Peninsula. May the wounds received
on the field of battle in their country's de.
fence, recall TO their remembrance the OBJ
legation they are under to hold it up and
to consolidate it by means OF wise laws
and rational freedom. Such are the
foundations on which the edifice OF the
new Spanish government should rest
bases that had been despised and over
thrown. /.
His ephemeral and powerless govern
meut will vanish at our appearance, be.
cause we have reason and justice on our
side: For all those who armed with the
sacred fire of love of their country, will
join themselves to such an honorable en-
terprise.
My countrymen, the nation will coun,
on Millions Of Delenders-and the Spanish
Soldier, instead Of being the oppressor oil
the Civil Liberty Of the People, shall show
that he is its lirmest support.

which we have on the 5lh of March, pro.
claimed the Spanish Constitution. our in
tention has been no other than to avoid the
confusion, ruin and desolation, which
would have followed from a division OF
parties. The examples which the South

veil from our eyes to avoid the evils which
would have produced fatal consequences
One general voice, one sole opinion, from
the highest to the lowest inhabitant of he

peace and fraternity closer together No,

habits Of our respective occupations we
are all the children Of Spain, our common
mother-we have all sworn TO defend our
rights, and to maintain the sovereign
whom we recognized, aud to whom we
took the oath of fidelity 10 1908. Such
are the sentiments that animate us, and the
desire that these sentiments may be pro-
duced in the hearts of other Spaniards,
will be favored by the All Omnipotenl
God, whose providence has watched ia
such memorable manner over the people
10 the great events of yesterday.
Let ns hasten to the holy temple to
reuder up the homage of our gratitude and

the honor Of our flag which we had the
glory Of defending, against the, valor oil

respected IN the day which was SO terrible
TO us let us preserve them, and let us
hope that other Spaniards win follow our
example, and repeat in peace, Long live
