S the following decree -
Restored by Divine Mercy to the
throne of my august ancestors, and finally
.Ireleved from the bitter captivity which
II have suffered, the first care ofmy pater-
lnal heart, has been to destroy an odious
'Isystem, introduced by soma cowardly and
, ,|nsubordnate military officers, who are
: unworthy of the confidence reposed in
them. Such base institutions deserve on
: Y to rule those wretches who attempt to
ldefend them. The impotent attempts and
atrocious crimes with which they attempt
e ed scandalously to imprison my Royal per-
. son and family. could not, thanks to Di-
: vine Providence, prevail against the gene
! rous aid of my august uncle. the King Of
France, the other Snvcreigns of Europe
] and the unanimous, firm and spontaneous
fvoice ofmy beloved subjects, who rose en-
f1masse TO re-establish the wise and ancient
!, laws, which characterized in my ancestors
for many centuries, the Spanish name,
,power and greatness.

ions. my Royal heart will not enjoy repost
e until it has put an end to these disasters

J. lit has pleased Providence to grant to m.
II glorious arms, may experience equal ben
8 eiits. A part of these vast and rich pos

civil and disastrous war, through the trea
n son of the powerful army destined to pa
to city them, will, | hope, be restored t
T. peace and tranquility, by returning to tn
of bosom of just and paternal government

Whilst am employed in determinin

G. portance of the subject demand, it is re
of solved that my royal and Legitimate au

all my ultra marine dominions, in tn
H. same state and condition and with tn
of same prerogatives as existed prior to tn
10, fatal 9Th Of March, 1890, on which day

In consequence of the foregoing decree
:. Governor Wives issued Proclamation

tract.
" "The King, then. has just been re-estf

a full authority inherited from his angus
