hendidos con las armas en- la mano, ha-
ciendo resistencia la fuerza armada,
seran juzgados por las leyes militares;
los demas han sido entregados la Jus
ticia Real ordinarias y todos recibiran
el severe castigo que las leyes imponen
a los perturbadores y agitadores de re-
beli6n.
Queda terninado de una manera RS
pida 10 ocurrido en- LAREs, cuyo hecho
pasajero deseo Sc divide, que yo os ase-
guro no quedara uno sin sufrir la conse-
cuencia de su intentona criminal.
Muchos motivos tenia para conocer
vuestra lesltad hacia S. M. la Reina

y vuestro amor las instituciones que ri
gen en- perfecta paz y tranQuilidad esta
parte preciosa de Espafia; pero las prue
las y demostrSciones pdblicas que en-
estos lltimos dias hab6is dado de vues-
ira acrisolada lealtad, de vuestra deci-
sion por la conservation del orden ptl-
blco, Sc han elevado mucho mas de 10
que yo imaginar p0dia. De un confin a
otro de la provincial no Sc ha dido mas
que un solo eco de indignation de
repulsi6n contra esos miserables de La
res, que rechazais con todo vuestro Co
razon, como indignos de haber nacido
Ell este pueblo de leales, por conviction
y por inter6s Acojo este momento para
daros las gracias mas cumplidas por la
cooperation personal y pecuniaria que
todos los pueblos todas las classes de
Ia sociedad me hab6is ofrecido en- esta
OCCASION, y que no he aceptado porque
fue sufciente una pequefa parte de los
Ledios de que disponia para hundir en-
su propio crater a ese reducido nGmero
dc miserables reunidos en- Lares. que
intentaron perturbar vuestro ordina-
rio sosiego,
Aprovechar6 tambi6n esta OCCASION pa
ra ofrecer nuevamente los pies del Tro
no vuestra inquebrantable lealtad, in
crustada en- vuestro ser por la tradici6n
do los siglos. Eutretanto vivid pacificos,
gozad de tranquilidad, entregados al ira
bajo, cue es la base de las felicidades,
Ia fuente de mayor riqueza que es ell
sello de la moralidad de los pueblos y
ccntad con que vela por el mantenimien
to de estos preciosos benefcios.
