friends. and, may Judge OF my own heart, great
luble tie-the sacred love Of our country. Times
OF violent commotion give rise to alarms; and

plain and reliable report OF the authorities. Truth

Is not known Information has merely been received
that the rebels made themselves masters OF the
place, and That at Seville three battaions haye also
hosted the standard OF revolt. In the other parts OF
the kingdom complete tranquility exists There is
no visible change-no other alarm save the grief

military rebels VINO speak In the name OF the people
But the country repels with indignation the Infamous
banner OF the regency proclaimed by these rebels

fifs begin by placing the country in mourning
and spreading desoaton throughout Thus during
time Of peace industry and labor, the only sources
OF civilized liberty are at a standstill. Your emblem

lander to compel the surrender of that place. The
Andalusan force is advancing against the rebels of
Seville and Cadz, and this menace alone has led Cor

Canary Islands have failed In doing their duty: we
shall see by their conduct whether they have suffered
without cause and n any wrong has been done them
undergone their penalty God grant it may be so,
for with generous hearts it Is cruel to hate as 1t
sweet to love. Let us cling together, we who have
shed our blood together for the orphan we received
and supported amid the hostile and grave vlcissi-

thrones. Honor TO the woman who, by generous
sacrifice OF her patrimOny to the countrywide, by

many valOrous ones nave lost 1t.
Catalenans, let cherish the throne OF Peter, OF
James. OF Alphonso, Of Ferdinand, OF Isabella. Long
live Isabella H.. Religion and Legitimate monarchy
