Tyroleans! Peace is concluded between his Majesty the Emperor of the French, King of Italy, Pro tector of the Confederation of the Rhine, my august Father and Sovereign, and his Majesty the Emperor of Austria. Peace therefore prevails every where, except among you-you only do not enjoy its benefits. Listening to perfidious sugges tions, you have taken up arms against your laws, and have subverted them, and now you are gathering the bitter fruits of your rebellion; terror governs your cities; idleness and misery reign in you; discord is in the midst of you; and disorder every where prevails. His Majesty the Emperor and King, touched with your deplorable situation, and with the testimonies of repentance which several of you have conveyed to his throne, has expressly consented, in the Treaty of Peace, to pardon your errors and misconduct. I then bring you peace since I bring you pardon. But I declare to you, that pardon is granted you only on the condition that you return to your obedience and duty, that you voluntarily lay down your arms, and that you offer no resistance to my troops. Charged with the command of the armies which surround you, I come to receive your submission, or compel you to submit. The army will be preceded by Commissioners appointed by me to hear your complaints, and to do justice to the demands you may have to make-But know that these Commissioners can only listen to you when you have laid down your hereby promise that justice shall be tion maxims of prudente and po done you. MANIFESTO, fixing the days when the General Cortes of the Spanish Monarchy are to be convoked and held; Dated Royal Alcazar of Seville, Oct. 28, 1809. Spaniards!-By a combination of events as singular as fortunate, it bas seemed good to Providence, that in this terrible crisis you shall not advance a step towards independence without likewise advancing one towards liberty. A foolish and feeble tyranny, in order to rivet your fetters and aggravate your chains, prepared the way for French despotism, which, with the terrible apparatus of its arms and victories, endeavoured to subject you to a yoke of iron.. It at first exhibited itself, like every new tyranty, under a flattering form, and its political impostors presumed they should gain your favour by promising you reforms in the Administration, and announcing, in a constitution framed at their pleasure, the empire of the laws. Á barbarous and absurd contradiction, worthy certainly of their insolence. Would they have us believe that the moral edifice of the fortune of a nation can be securely founded on usurpation, iniquity, and treachery? But the Spanish people, who were the first of modern nations to recognize to the true principles of the social equilibrium, that people who enjoyed before any other the prerogatives and advantages of civil liberty, and knew to oppose to arbitrary power the eternal barrier directed by justice, will borrow from no other na litical precaution; and tell those impudent legislators, that they will not acknowledge as laws the artifices of intriguers, nor the mandates of tyrants. Animated by the generous instinct, and inflamed with the indignation excited by the perfidy with which you are invaded, you ran to arms, without fearing the terrible vicissitudes of so unequal a combat, and fortune, subdued by your enthusiasm, rendered you homage, and bestowed on you victory in reward for your valour. The immediate effect of these first advantages was the re-composition of the State, at that time divided into as many factions as provinces. Our enemies thought that they had sown among us the deadly germ of anarchy, and did not advert that Spanish judgment and circumspection were always superior to French machiavelism. Without dispute, without violence, a Supreme Authority was established; and the people, after having astonished the world, with the spectacle of their sublime exaltation and their victories, filled it with admiration and respect by their moderation and discretion. The central Junta was installed, and its first care was to announce to you, that if the expulsion of the enemy was the first object of its attention, the inferior and permanent felicity of the State was the principle in importance: to leave it plunged into the flood of abuses, prepared for its own ruin by arbitrary power, would have been in the eyes of our present Government, a crime as enormous as to deliver you into the hands of Buonaparte; therefore, when the turbulence of war permitted, it caused to to resound in your ears the name of your Cortes, which to us have ever been the bulwark of civil liberty, and the throne of national Majesty, a name heretofore pronounced with mystery by the learned, with distrust by politicians, and with horror by tyrants, but which henceforth signify in Spain the indestructible base of the monarchy, the most secure supports of the rights of Ferdinand VII. and of his family, a right for the people, and the Government an obligation. That moral resistance, as general as sublime, which has reduced our enemies to confusion and despair in the midst of their victories, must not receive less reward. Those battles which are lost, those armies, which are destroyed, not without producing new battles, creating new armies, and again displaying the standard of loyalty on the ashes and ruins which the enemies abandon; those soldiers who, dispersed in one action, return to offer themselves for another; that populace which despoiled of almost all they possessed returned to their homes to share the wretched remains of their property with the defenders of their country; that concert of lamentable and despairing groans and patriotic songs; that struggle, in fine, of ferocity and barbarity on the one hand, and of resistance and invincible constancy on the other, present a whole as terrible as magnificent, which Europe contemplates with astonishment, and which history will one day record in let ters of gold for the admiration and example of posterity. A people so magnanimous and generous ought only to be governed by laws which are truly such, and which shall bear the great character of public con sent and common utility-a c racter which they can only rece by emanating from the august sembly which has been annonv to you. The Junta had propo that it should be held during whole of the ensuing year, sooner, if circumstances should p mit. But in the time which intervened since the resolution, variety of public events have a tated the minds of the people, a the difference of opinions relat to the organization of the Gover ment, and the re-establishment our fundamental laws, has recall the attention of the Junta to the important objects with which it b latterly been profoundly occupie It has been recommended on th one hand, that the present Govern ment should be converted into Regency of three or five persous and this opinion has been repre sented as supported by one of ou ancient laws, applicable to our present situation. But the situation in which the kingdom was, when the French threw off the mask o friendship, to execute their treacherous usurpation, is singular in our history, and cannot have been foreseen in our institutions. Neither the infancy, nor the insanity, nor even the captivity of the Prince, in the usual way in which these evila occur, can be compared with our present case, and the deplorable situation to which it has reduced us. A political position entirely new requires political forms and principles likewise entirely new. T expel the French, to restore to bis liberty and his throne our adored King, and to establish solid and permanent bases of good govern ment, are the maxims which gave the impulse to our Revolution, are those |
