PROCLAMATION OF THE KING OF SPAIN.
"The scandalous excuses which pre-
coded, accompanied, and followed the
establishment of the democratical con-
stitution ofCadiz in the month of March.
1920, have been made public, and known
to all my subjects.
1.-The most criminal treason, the
most disgraceful baseness, the most hor-
rible offences against my royal person
these coupled with violence, were the
means employed to change essentially
the paternal government of my kingdom
into IA democratical code. the fertile
source of disasters and mistortunes.
"My subjects, accustomed to live I'M
der wise and moderate laws, and such
as were conformable to their manners
and customs, and which, during so many
ages, constituted the welfare of their
ancestors, soon gave public and univer-
sal proofs of their Interpretation and
contempt of the new constitutional sys-
tenn. All classes of the state experien-
ced the mischiefs caused by the new
constitution.
=" TyrannicalIy governed, by virtue
and in the name of the constitution, Sc
cretly watched in all their private con-
Germs, it was not possible TO restore or
der or justice and they could not obey
laws established by per6dy and treason,
sustained by violence, and the source of
the most dreadful disorders, of the most
desolating anarchy: and of universal ca
lamity.
The general voice was heard from
all sides against the tyranuical cons,itu-
ton it called for the cessation of a
code null in its origin, illegalin its forma-
ton, and unjust in its principle: 1t call
ed for the maintenance of the sacred
religion of their ancestors, for the re-
establishment of our Fundamental laws
and for the preservation of my legiti-
mate rights; rights which have receiy-
ed from my ancestors, and which nv
subjects have solemn!y sworn TO defend.
=" This general cry of the nation was
not raised in vain.
sin all the provinces armed corps
were formed, which leagued themselves
against the soldiers of the constitution;
sometimes they were conqucrors, some
times they were conquered; but they
always remained firm to the cause of re-
ligion and of the monarchy.
"Their enthusiasm, in the defence Of
objects so sacred, never deserted them
under the reverses of war, and prefer
ing death to the sacrifice OF those great
benefits, my subjects convinced Europe,
by their fidelity and their constancy, that
although Spain nourished in her bosom
some unnatural children the sons Of re-
bellion, the nation in general was reli-
gious, monarchial, and passionately de-
voted to its Legitimate sovereign.
"The whole of Europe-well aware
of my captivity, and of that of all the
royal family, of the deplorable situation
of my loyal and faithful subjects, and of
the pernicious doctrines which Spanish
agents were disseminating on all sides
resolved to put an end to a state of
things, which constituted a common re-
proach, and which menaced with des-
truction all thrones and all ancient in
situations, in order to substitute impiety
and prohigacy.
''France entrusted with so sacred an
enterprise has triumphed in few months
over the efforts of all the rebels of the
world, collected for the misery of Spain
upon her classic soil of fidelity and 10y
