| Diplomatic Agents of III. NJ. at Foreign
| Courts.
All know the constantly hostile and perlidi
Gus conduct of the Cabinet of the T0illeries
towards Spain, from the moment that she re
established the political constitution by which
she is governed. The thick veil which for
some time covered the many treacherous de-
signs of that cabinet, was, To the scandal of
morality and public deccacy, torn by the
French Ministers in the midst of legislative
assembly and posterity will learn with indis
nation, by the confession of the delinquen,s
themselves, that the government of a monarch
styling himself most christian, hurled on a
peaceful nation, its neighbor, friend and ally,
the brands of civil discord created factions,
and cherished assassins and traitors thus vio-
lating the faith of treaties that ii turned
aside from the tranquil course il would have
pursued, political revolution the most legiti
mate and bloodless that is to he found in the
annals OF nations, by stipending vile writers to
defame virtue, tn SOW dstrust, and to preach
anarchy that it illuminated the cause of
liberty, awaiting itself of those very excuses, of
those very convulslons which its own in
trigues and corrupting gold had excited that
tice and the law of nations, by introducing
that ubiquitous principle ofthe interference Of
one power with the domestic concerns of an
other principle which destroys all indie
pendence, all tranquility, and all stability in
society, in order to establish the necessity of
an lmpous war, and of an invasion the most
abominab!e that man has ever witnessed but
outrages of so henous nature were not suf-
fcient TO satisfy the cabinet of the Tuilleries
In order TO sooth the frenetic faction by which
1t is ruled, 1t was necessary TO crown such
wrongs by one of those deeds which appear
from time To time in the bloody pages of his
tory, and a-e the opprobium of civilization,
and the disgrace of the people who tolerate
them. ltwas requisite that government
that loudly proclaims the dogma Of the legiti.
macy of dynasties, and of the sanctity ofmon-
archical power, as the only safeguard Of the
tranquility and happiness of nations, should
hold out To the world the no less vile than
dangerous example of creating, Recognizing
and patronlzng an assembly of traitors to
their country and king, that would dare to
style itself Provisional Junfa of the Go
vernment of Spain and Indirs'' 1t was re-
quIsIte, whist affecting TO combat in the name
OF religion, of morality, of preserving prin
cipes ufsociety, that perjury should be extOl-
led seditiOn excited, the bonds of subordina-
cal charm of authority should be torn from
her, that, in word, the foundation of the
throne which itpretends to strengthen, should
be undermined, and that an unworthy shade
Should be cast over the good faith OF the au-
gust monarch who occupies it, supported by
the loyalty of his subjects. 1t was requisite,
that, preceded by handfnis of dphided and
wicked men, the army of power which sup
poses itself first in the rank of civilization,
should So far peryert the terrible laws of war
thus making them still more odious and des-
| iructive,) AS toreceive as auxaries, falsehood,
treason and fanaticism, and designedly TO cx-
cite the fury of troops of banditti, 10 order
afterwards, in the afflicted towns and villages,
TO pass for a benevolent liberator- Europe,
the spectator of these horrid deeds, is silent,
and permits them. The weak Powers shud-
der, whilst those called great, either favor the
French cabinet, approving its perncious Goc-
trincs or contdc In superior forces TO shelter
them from its effects but force is not eternal,
and the nation which yesterday gave the law
to the rest, is to-day the object of their der-
sion. If among them there should be- any that
condemns, IN theory, the strange maxims of
public law Of which the introduction is Anne d
at, and yet ahstains from preventing their ap.
pIIcaiioD, that power will repent, when too
late, ofsO gross an errOr. The repetition Of
justice, the barrier, however weak that pro-
tects the independence of nations and the bal
ance of power, will fall to the ground the NO
tons of public morality will he obliterated,
and the light LIBERALIZATION will be extiDguish-
ed by the blast of barbarsm
The Spanish Government resolved, at the
head OF generous nation, though distracted
by foreign intrigue, to sustain, not only her
own cause, but that also Of all mankind, viii
either triumph over her dastardly enemies, or
fall with glory and with honor. But that Co
vernment would fail in the discharge of its
most sacred duties, if, on such an OCCASION il
| assumed no, manly tone. Ii is its duty to
| protest, as IL does protest, in the most solemn
manner, before all the world against the mon
strOus right of the interference of one power
in the domestic affairs of another, and against
the perversiOn OF the laws of war, of which tn.
cabinet of the J'uilleries has been guilty il
also protests against The erecting Of an illegit.
innate and sedious Junta, and against any
| other image oil government that may he set
up N IFS place declaring all the arts, that
! may emanaie from it, null and void IL de-
nounces such inquilies to the execration of all
! governments, Of all nations, and Of posterity.
II. VI. has commanded me To desire YOU will;
make this protest known to the Court at which
you have been received ;hat you will give
copy OF ", II required, To the Minister for for
eisn affairs; aud that you will publish It.
