measure. all that is culpable in the circum-
stances which accompanied the change OF
the administration in Spain. The interest
of the Cortes are here identified with the
interest of Europe, The misled soldiery
who protected, may tomorrow, assall them
and their first duty towards their mo-
| march, towards their country, and them
selves, seem to be, to prove that they VIII
never consent to legalize insurrection. These
are hopes which would not appear TO De
without some foundation. The emperor
however, is far from cherishing them; and
il he admitted the possibility OF result so
useful. he would make it depend upon the
unapimity which might manifest itself IN the
opinion OF the principal powers OF Europe
as TO the act by which the representatives
of the Spanish people oughtto signallze the
opening of their deliberations. This unan-
unity, always so powerful when it takes the
character of an irrevocable deed, will per-
baps carry conviction TO the minds OF the
most eminent members Of his most Catholic
Majesty; and the allied courts would seem
TO have an easy means of impressing upon
their language such an imposing Uniform
ity.
Their ministers in France have hitherto
treated in their name, with penipotentla-
ry of the court of Madrid. Can they Hot
now present to him in common obserSa-
tons. the summary OF which follows, and
| which would recall 10 the Spanish govern
! ment the conduct, as well as the political
principles of the allied monarchs
The monarchs" would, say the hve MI
nisters, s'have never ceased to entertain
wishes for the prosperity of Spain. They
will always entertain them. They have de-
sired that, in Europe as in America, lnstl-
tutions comfortable to the progress OF clVi'
| lizalion, and to the wants of the age, might
preserve to all Spaniards long yearssoi peace
and happiness. They desire the same at
this moment, They have wished that all
these institutions should become real Dies
sing, by the legal manner in which 'they
should he introduced They now wish the
! same.
This last consideration will convey to
the ministers of his Catholic Majesty, with
what sentiments of sffliction and gllet they
have learned the events of the 9th OF March
and those which preceded it. According to
their opinion, the salvation of Spain, as well
as the welfare of Europe, will require that
This crime should be disavowed, this stain
efaced, this bad example exterminated. The
| honor of such PREPARATION appears TO depend
upon the Cortes. Let them deplore, and
| forcibly reprobate, the means employed 10
| establish new mode OF government Tor
their country, and in consolidating an ad-
ministration wisely constitutional, let theH
adopt the most rigorous laws against sede-
ton and revolt.
6 Then, and only then, the allied CabI-
nets will be able to maintain friendly ana
amicable relations with Spain"
The observations urged i'll common, by
the representatives OF the FIVE courts, would.
from thencefo,th, demonstrate to the Spa
nish ministry the conduct which the allied
governments would observe in case tine con-
seouences Of the 9th OF March should perpe-
uate, in Spain, trouble and anarchy. Ii
these salutary counsels be listened to, If the
Cortes offer to their king in the name OF the
nation, pledge of obedience, is they sue
coed in establishing, upon durable basis, the
tranquility of Spain and the peace OF South"
ern America, the revolution will have been
defeated, at the very moment where it tbo't
to obtain triumph
If, on the contrary, alarms, perhaps, too
reasonable, be realized-at least the five
| courts will have discharged sacred duty; al
least pew occurrence will have developed
the principles, Indicated the object, and dis
played the scope of European alliance.
The Emperor awaits the answer OF the
| Courts of Vienna, London, Berlin and Pa
ris, to the communications which his minis
tiers have addressed to him on this subject
| He informs them, that the present memoir
! al is the instruction which he has caused to
| be dispatched to all his ministers on ssthe sub
ject OF the affairs Of Spain.
