cd to be a sufficient title to propertythe most sacred rights were soon disputed ruinous loans and contributions unceasingly renewed, soon attached both public wealth and the fortunes of private indivi duals. As was the case at that epoch, the bare recollection of which makes Euiope shudder, religion wa despoiled of her patrimony the throne of popular respect the royal dignity was outraged and authority was transferred to assemblies w here the blind passions cf the multitude seized upon the reins of government. Lastly, and to complete the parallel with those days of calamity, so unhappily re produced in Spain, on the 7th of July, blood was seen to flow in the palace ot the king, and a civil war raged throughout the peninsula. During nearly three years, the allied powers continued to flatter themselves that the Spanish character, that character bo constant and so generous, when the safety of the count! y was in question, and

lately to heroic when it struggled against

a power produced by revolution would r.'iow itself, at last, even in the men who had the misfortune to betray the noble recollections which Spain might proudly recal 10 every nation in Europe. They flattered themselves that the government of his caW.olic majesty undeceived by the fi st lesson of a fatal experience, would adopt me sii'es, if not to stop, by one common effort, the numerous calamines

which were bursting upon them from all si !cs. at least to lay the foundations of a remedial system, and to secure gradually

to the throne its legitimate rights, and its

necessary prerogatives : also, to give to

subjects adequate protection, and to property indispensable guarantees. Hut

those hopes have been utterly falsified

The lapse of time has only brought with

it fresh injustice ; violence has been in

creased ; the number of victims has

frightfully augmented, and Spain has al

ready seen more than one warrior, and

more than one faithful citizen hurled to

the scaffold. It is thus the revolution of

the 9ih March went on, day by day, has

tcning the ruin of the Spanish monarchy,

when two patticular events occurred which excited the most serious attention of foreign governments. In the midst of a people to whom devot oti to their kings is an hereditary sentiment ; a people who, for six successive years, shed the noblest blood to recover tin ir legitimate monarch that monarch and his family were reduced to a state ol not nous and almost absolute captivity His brothers, compelled o justify themselves, were daily menaced with the dungeon or the axe, and imperious command forbade him, with his dying wife, to quit the capital. On the other hand, in imitatio i f the revolutions of Naples and Piedmont which the Spanish conspirators co st nuy represented as their own work, we hear them announce that their plans ol subversion have no limits In a neigh boring country they strove, with unremit ting perseverance to encourage tumults and : cbellion. In more distant states the) labor to create accomplices ; the activity of their proselytism was every were felt ; and every where it produced the same disasters. Such conduct would, of necessity, excite general repiobation Those cabinets which sincerely desired the good of pain, intimated during two years, their sentiments, by the nature of the relations which thev maintain with its . government France saw herself oblig cd to confide to an army the protection of her frontiers, and probably she will be compelled, also, to confide to it the task of nutting an end to those provocations

which have rendered it mcessary Spain herself has rebelled in some parts against a system which is foreign to their habits, to her known lovaltv. and to her entirelv monarchical traditions. In this state of things, the emperor, our august master, has determined to take a step which cannot leave to the Spanish nation any doubt us to his true intentions, nor as to the sincerity of the wishes he entertains in her be alf. It is to be feared that the dangers arising from vicinitv, which are always imminent, thoe which menace the royal familv , and the just complaints of a neighboring s a:e, will termiiu'e in dialing, between him and pain, the most grave cmb i: rassments It is th p miful t-xtre-mitv w h his majes'v v oul I avoid, if p sihle ; but as lonij a the king is not in a rondition to ovpt ess freely Ids will, as long as a de. durable o; der of things ai il itaves the efforts of the artists of revolutions, who are united by one common bond with those of the other countries of : ulope to trouble its repose, is it in the pow er of the emperor, is it in the power of any inona'ch, to meliorate the relations of the Spanish government with foreign powers? On the other hand, how easy would it be to attain this csarn'ial end. if the king recovered, with his perfect liberty, the means of putting an end to civil war of preventing a foreign war, and of urrun-

ding himself with the niost enlightened,

and the most faithful of his subjects, in order to give to Spain those institutions

which her wanta and her legitimate wishes require. Then, free and tranquil, she could not but inspire Europe with the serity which she would herself enjoy ; and then, too, the powers which now protest against the conduct of her government, would be eager to renew with her relations truly amicable, and fomded upon mu

tual good will

rather of the efforts of the enemies who endeavor to destroy her. 7. The Spanish nation will never admit the right of any power to interfere in her affairs. " '1 he government will never deviate from the line traced out to it by its duties, the national honor, and by its unalterable attachment to the constitution sworn to in 1812.

ever would have reason to protest. If his Jotl 1 urc.eii

imperial majesty had other views, it would rest with him and his allies to let! the Spanish revolution complete its work i

v ery soon every germ- oi prosperity, or wealth, and of power would be destroyed in the peninsula ; and, if the Spanish nation can suppose these hostile designs to be entertained, they should look foi the proof of their existence in the indifference and the inaction of the allies. The reply that will be made to the present declaration must decide questions of the very highest importance. Your instructions from this day will p .int out the determinr.tion that you are to make, if i he dispositions of the public authority at Madrid reject the means which arc off. red for securing to Spain a future tranquility, and an imperishable glory.

Having read these notes, M. de San Miguei, addressing the president cf the curies, said l'he government of his majesty has considered ma, it was neither becoming nor just to reply to these notes, because they are lui. of invectives, calumnies, and suppositions, directed, not precisely against the nation, but against those who govern, and against the individuals wtio have co-operated to our regeneration. " The government ot bis majesty, having knowledge of the contents ot those noies, has thought it becoming, (icserv ing, however, the right to publish its

! principles and the justice of its cause in

a sincere exposition ol the history ot our revolution,) to declare, in the most deci-

j ded lone, mat it neither recognizes, in a-

ny manner, the right ot intervention, nor admits the necessity for any foreign cabinet to meddle with its affairs. u 1 have now the honor to read to the asscmbiy the note winch will serve as an answer to the different cabinets." " It would be unworthy the Spanish government to answer the notes ot Russia, Austria and Prussia, because ihe) ate on ly a lissue ol lies na ca.umnies ; it contines nselt to making known to you its intentions 1.
