It is truly lamentable that this gencrous 
nation should not have her friendly inter- 
course requited by the rest in, the way 
that their common interest requires; but 
she not being auswerable for anaberration 
of mind so ill-beecoming the enlightened 
age in which we live, she must console 
herself with not having provoked evil, and 
liaving ever been disposed to good;. and, 
above all, to distinguish, by real proofs of 
useful and reciprocal union, those states 
which were disposed to preserve and 
appreciate these valuable ties, and not to 
sacrifice the interests of their subjects to 
the passion or caprice of their rulers. 
The steady and constitutional conduct 
of your Majesty’s Government leads the 
Cortes to rely most fully that it will con- 
tinue to advance,. thus nobly, in. the path 
of glory, overcoming every obstacle, and 
steering the vessel of the state safely into 
harbour, aided by the zeal and’ resolution 
of the heroic soldiers of all arms, the 
praise-worthy constitutional corporations, 
and, in general, by the noble intrepidity 
ef the Spaniards. 
The Cortes, satisfied with the testimony 
of their conscience, having religiously 
discharged their duties, and, withont any 
remorse arising from their political con- 
duct, are come again to this invincible 
island, the terror of tyrants and the sup- 
port of free men, and have assembled 
anew in this very temple where, in spite 
of the then arbiter of diadems and thrones, 
that constitution was formed and sanc- 
tioned, in 1812, which. is to be the source 
of our prosperity. 
If in raising on this spot that everlasting 
monument of heroism and wisdom, and 
despising the fire and the snares of an 
enemy crafty and terrible, those who had 
the good fortune to be Deputies, showed 
themselves deserving of their mission, 
the present representatives of the Spanish 
nation will imitate the exalted example 
of magnanimity in danger, left them by 
their predecessors. Resolyed never to 
compound with their own infamy, they 
will maintain, at all risks, the oath they 
have taken, 
On all occasions, whether prosperous 
or adverse, your Majesty will never find 
them retrograding in the career of honor ; 
and if, once more assembled in extra- 
ordinary Cortes, the good of the country

so requiring it, these depnties.should have 
again to exercise the legislative functions, 
they will repeat, in the face-of the whole- 
world, what they declared in their sittings 
of the 9th and 11th of January last, aud 
expsessed anew on the 29th of July, with 
general applause. 
Your Majesty may make yourself easy, 
in the full confidence and security that you 
will find them by your side whenever your 
Majesty may apply to them to support 
the dignity of your constitutional throne; 
and that they never can wish for a day 
of greater joy to them than that on which, 
removed with your Majesty to the centre 
of the monarchy, they may be able to 
congratulate your Majesty on the attain- 
ment of victory, after having driven-the 
enemy beyond the Pyrenees. 
Epic poetry and romantic history 
alone can do justice to the: brave 
Catalonians, who have honoured their 
province and the Spanish name by the 
heroic resistance which they have op- 
posed to the French banditti during 
the last four months. 
Corunna was surrendered to the in- 
famous Morillo, after aresistance of a 
month.—Pampeluna, after suffering, 
the horrors of aregular bombardment,, 
was then foreed to capitulate; and 
Santona has also surrendered. Thus- 
crime triumphs over virtue, and the: 
nations of the earth as basely, as coolly 
look on. 
GREECE. : 
The GreckCommittee in London hay- 
ingsent Mr. BLaquiereto examinc and 
report on the state of that country, he 
lately returned, and areport has been 
published which does honour to his 
head, his heart, and his prineiples. 
The modern Greeks appear. to be 
worthy of their renowned ancestors, 
and, although maintaining an unequal 
contest, have nearly, if not entirely, 
delivered their country. If the un- 
principled Jews of London should not 
negociate a loan to the Porte, its re- 
sources in men and money seem ex- 
hausted; and, if Russia does not in- 
terfere, the firm establishment of a 
Greek Republic seems inevitable.
