See 1 it is thus that the Spanish n:tion has been sinking from the summit of its glory, to which had raised itself in the 15th and 18th centuries, to the abyss in which it was plunged, when the last of our Kings resigned lie right of Government to a Prince, who, for oar happiness, !elite.: in himself all the qualities requisite to give life to the me ion, in the critical state in which it wasentrusted to him. The ziez4 use which he made of his new power was to impart it to his Illustrious Brother Joseph Napoleon, a just and Iteoefieent ilrince, who, raised before to the throne of Naples, had already proved indisputably, that his Government was paternal, and Sail no ot!l.^r :'lna the welfare of those who were happy enougli to live molt'. his laws.

This is the noble and glorie.us end for which we are assembled here. It is therefore neetssury that ne should apply our whole attention, and, laying aside ail party spirit, and all the prejudices of proviaLes, classes, and ranks, devote all our energies to the common welfare of Spoil). No one can now have an interest distinct from that of his coun try. The menibers of the same family must alike enjoy the common benefit, and alike contribute to the reipective charge of s.ipport hr.; the cotumbn splendour. In the eye of the law, they ho are less favoured by fortune lose none of the respect they merit, nor of their right to be protected. Let every one of us, :is far as himself is concerned, sacrifice the benefit we exclusively enjoy, and of which many are imaginary. .Let as offer them Jpon the altar of our country, in order to raise a staple and great monument, in the place of the Gothic and tottering strip; cure of our former Government.
