TO Gen. SIR II. Uilson
I l.. Ill. a
Captain Aranes, at the same time Briga.
dier General Romay has proposed To me,
in order TO prevent the spiling of Spanish
blood, to consent 10 a suspension of host
Iites, which shall not exterd to the French,
nor to those called the Factious, as if the
latter were not sSpaniards. He tells me
this is The object of the interview you wish
to have with me, and | cannot now refrain
from manltesting To you that il is impossi-
bic for me to consent To any such armlstice.
In dispatch of the day before Yesterday,
told brigadier General Romay my last
determination. No one wishes more anx
lously than myself cessation Of tire civil
war winch devours rs ; hut there is no way
to terminate II, but by compelling, by
force, those To throw down their arms, who
neither listen 10 reason or consult the will
of the people. Then whims, passions,
and the interest of the association 10 which
they belong, are the only guides Of their
actions, and consequently, they are incor-
rlglble. | now repca3 what told you on
a former occasion possibly some party or
other has an interest in the dlsiresses of my
country prolonged, without any object or
end possibly this party acts in good faith;
but will never consent that this country
shall be scourged in the way of an essay.
The will of the nation is well known and
il is my duty to conform myself To it
These are my principles but if, after this
declaration, you think our conference
can be useful, there is no objection on my
part.

Woo, July 28.
II has been subject of great regret to
me that a misunderstanding, as to my in
tenilons, has in some measure DELAYED the
honor of the conference your ExccIlcncy
granted me. My object is different FROM
the one you have imagined from the letter
OF General ROmay 10 General PaIarea
under which impression in order 10 treat
of matters of the the greatest utility to the
nation, | will leave this place this afternoon
II the weather allows, or, if not, Tomorrow
morning, ! will embark for Puente de
Sampayo, where hope to find every
thing necessary to convey me to Ponteves
dra, where hope to arrive in the course ol
the day.
p. S. Ny sentiments with regard to
the persons called Factions under exist
ing circumstances, have been evinced by
my having proposed and obtained the am
ncsty granted 10 Corunna to all of this class,

To General Count de Carthagenu.
The step you have just taken is the
most clear proof of your attention towards
me-, and suited to the deIicacy of your cha
racter. My intention was to have propo-
srd TO you plan, by means Of which ge
neral suspension of arms would have been
obtained, and in a short time general
peace through the medium of England
Not being able to say more in writing, IT is
desirable to have a confidence, aud endea-
vor therein to cOnclliate the general int
rests of the nation. II the French Gene
raj wishes to take part in our interview. |
am ready to receive him into it !; but in this
case ii is necessary for your Excclcncy to
send me an escort, and fix the time and
place for the interview.
