PROCLAMATION OF QUEEN ISABELLA

The following proclamation from the Queen
was posted on the walls Of Madrid on the 18th
July, and published in the Gazette:
Spaniards: A series Of deplorable mistakes
has been able to separate me from you, intro
ducing absurd distrust between the people and
the throne They have illuminated my heart
in supposng in me sentiments contrary to the
welfare and liberty of those who are my chill
dren; but even as the truth has arrived at last
to the ears of your Queen, 80 hope that love
and confidence may be born again, and be
affirmed in your hearts.
The sacrifices of the Spanish people, in order
to sustain their liberties and my rights, impose
on me the duty Of never forgetting the prinoi-
pies which have representative only ones
which can representative principles of liber-
ty, without which there are no nations worthy
Of their name.
A new era, founded in the union of the peo
pie with the march, will cause to disappear
even to the slightest shade the sad events
which I have the first desire to blot out from
our annals.
deplore in tho depth of my heart the mis-.
fortunes which have occurred, and shall
seek to cause them to be forgotten with un-
ceasing solicitude.
I deliver myself up with confidence and
without reserve to the national loyalty. The
sentiments of the brave are always lofty.
Let nothing disturb for the future the har-
mopy which / am sure to maintain with nv
people. AN disposed to make every kind Of
sacrifice for the general good of the country,
and desire that tho latter may manifest its
will by the organ Of its legitimate representa-
lives, and accept and offer at once all the
guarantees that may secure its right and those
Of my throne.
The decorum of the latter is your decorum,
Spaniards. Ny dignity of Queen of wife and
of mother, is the dignity itself of the nation
which made my name one day the symbol of
liberty. do not fear, therefore, to confide
myself to you. I do not fear to place my per
son and that of my daughter in your hands. I
do not fear to put my fate under the @gis of
your loyalty, because l firmly believe that 1
make you arbiters of your own honor, and of
the safety of the country.
The nomination Of the valiant Duke de la
Vistoria as president of the Council of Minis
tors, and my complete adhesion to the ideas
directed to the common happiness, will be the
most secure pledge Of the fuifillment Of your
noble aspirations.
Spaniards, you can effect the good fortune
and glory of your Queen by accepting those
which she wishes you, and prepares for you
in the depth of her maternal heart. The we'll
tried loyalty OF him who il about to direct my
councils, the ardent patriotism which he has
manifested on so many occasions will place
his sentiments in consonance with my own.

its director, Corradi, although his journalistic
avocations compelled him to decline joining
that body, has repeatedly assisted it with his
advice-contains the following conjectures re.
specting the conditions imposed by Espsrtero,
and accepted by the Queen:
Perhaps the Duke has asked that Dona Ma

be sent away in order to remove all extra

Internationally the Constitution of '37 should
be 70 established; Constituent Cortes being
shostly convoked, in order that the nation, in
the exercise of its sovereignty, may decide
upon the class Of Institutions that best acoords
with its desires and may best satisfy it, neces-
