SPAIN? OFFICAL ARTICLE.
Manifestation of the Kingy to the Nation, i
Spaniards . ? When your heroic
efforts succeeded in rescuing me from
*he captivity in which the most un
heard of perfidy had placed roe,
rwfcy thing I saw and heard, led me
into the belief that ttm nation actual
I ly wiMied for the restoration of her
ancient Ibrra t>f government ? And
under this persuasion, 1 thought it
my duty to conform to what appeared
to be the almost general wish of a
?magnanimous people ; which, after
having triumphed over the Vnemy,
seemed to apprehend the worst ca-~
tamity of *11*, civil discord. Still it
had not escaped my observation,
that from the rapid progress ^f civi
lization in Europe, arid the Univer
sal diffusion of (knowledge through
all classes, down to tire humblest in
society, together with the frequent
communication existing With all the
otiier nations of the earth, the aston
ishing achievements of Hie present
generation, must have largely con
tributed to inspire ideas and wishes
unknown to our ancestors, and wliich
must necessarily and inevitably pro
duce certain effects. Nor could 1
but perceive, that there was * neces
sity to adapt the political indnions
to such elements, in order ^produce
a suitable harmony between the laws
and the people, whence arise the
stability and order of feociety.
But whilst I was meditating ma
turely, and with the solicitude of
my paternal heart, on the changes in
our fundamental laws which seemed
most conformable to the national
character, and better adapted to the
present situation of the several com
ponent parts of the Spanish mon
archy; as also, more analagoua to
the organization which should be es
tablished in an enlightened nation,
you have gjiven me to understand
that (t is your anxiovis wish that the
Constitution) which in IBIS was pro
claimed in Cadiz, amidst the noise
of war* when you were combating/
in a manner to astonish the world,
for the liberty of your country,
should be estab&iihed.
I have listened to^rtiur voice like
an affectionate fatffer, and have con
descended to do that which my chil
dren consider conductive to tlieif hap
piness. 1 have sworn to that Cod
stitution which you were sighing for,
and 1 shall always be its most sttenu- <
ous supporter* Measures are alrea
dy taken for the immediate convoca
tion of the Cortes; When they
meet* it will be a Sincere happiness
to me, to Join your "representatives
in the grfkt work tif prompting the
national prosperity. ^
Spaniards ! Your glory is the on
ly . ambition of my heart The ar
dent wish of mir soul, is to see yort
alt united round ray throne, peacea
ble find happy. Place then all con
fide nee in youtKing, whose language
to you W (1^ t?ue effusion i?f those
sentiments inspired hy the circum
stances in which you are placed, and
hy the sense of those high duties im
posed ujhui him hy Providence. ?
Your own welfare will hereafter de
pend upon yourselves. Beware of
the -seduction, of the fallacious ap
pearances of an imaginary good,
which frequently deprives us ol that
which is real, ami within our reach.
Suppress those violent passions
which often sonvert into enemies
those wlio ought to be looked upon
as brethren : having actually the
same religion, language and customs.
Kepel the perfidious insinuations art
fully thrown out hy your euemies/?
Let us take the Constitutional road,
in which I will lead the way, and
lej us give to Europe an example of
/"wisdom, order ar.d perfect modera
tion, in a crisis, which, in other na
tions, lias always caused many tears
and misfortunes ; and thereby let us
cause the Spanish name 10 be ad<
mired/ at the same time that we will
found, for centuries to come, our
own felicity and glory.

I . The J\Tew Tariff Rejected . ? The
I lull to increase the duties on ccrtain
I imported articles, whs yesterday re
I jected in the Senate, after three hours'
I debate. Though the particular mo
I tion by Which the bill was lost, was
I carried by a single vote only, we have
I reason to believe that the majority
I would have beeu greater, had the
I question been a direct one bpon the
I merits of the bill. Several gentle
men, Wt understand, one or two of
I them from the North, who voted
I against postponing 4he bill, Would
I have voted against its enactment;
I either in the shape in Which it pas
I sed the House of lifepresen&atives, or
I as it was proposed to be ipodified by
I the committee of the Senate.
The Debate which will M pttb
I lished, Will disclose the views of
I those \Vlu> opposed, as well afe of
I those who advocated, the additional
duties. It may not % be improper,
however/ in the m&n time, to state,
I that the opponents of the hill avowed
I bo hostility to the manufacturing in
I terest? all agreed as to the policy of
I affording a due protection to domes*'
I tic manufactures $ the difference of
I opinion Was as to the degree of fed
I courage,? ent which is necessary;
I The leading motive avowed by those
I who opposed the hill was the belief,
I that the high duties proposed, would
I have the effect of excluding foreign
I fa bricks to such an % extent as to oe*
I press materially, if not destroy en
I tirely, the commerce and the naviga
1 tion of the country; aiid consequently
I criple our naval sttfenglh, annihilate
I the, revenue from imposts, and render
I internal taxes necessary for the sup
I port oft the* government. These
I opinions, St is triie, were met with
I great force and ability, by the friends
I of the bill ; but they prevailed. It
I appears to tt? that a system less in
I discriminate, embracing a smaller
I augmentation of duties, would have
I deceived the sanction of botli Houses.

Thus, all the parts of the system,
reported by the committee of Manu
factures, lmve been aKfccted, or, whit
is tantamount, postponed to the next
session. It is not, however, those
who are op|K)sed to affording. futher
encouragement to manufactures^***
will I>e seen by the proceedings uv
the next page, that have defeated the
Auction Duty Bill. It had passed
the House of Kepresntatives, and iias
been reconsidered and postponed, at
the suggestion of those who at first
supported it, on the ground that, un
connected with the Tariff bill, its op
eration would have been unimportant
to the manufacturing interest, and
partial in other views.
The bill for authorising a T^onn
has passed through the committee of
the w hole in the House of Repre

, Our relations with Spain . ? The
following; Message was yesterday
transmitted to lioth houses of Con
gress by the President of the United
States :
To the Senate and House qf Re/ire*enta?
tive 9 of the United States.
f communicate to Congress a cor*
respondence which has taken place
between the Secretary of State and
the envoy Extraordinary and Minis*
ter Plenipotentiary of Hid Catholic
Majesty feince the message of the 27th
March last, respecting the treaty
wh jcli was concluded between the
United States, on the 88d February,
r After the failure of hid Catholic
Majesty for so long a time to ratify
the treaty, it was Expected that this
Minister would have brought with
him the ratification, or that he wotild
have been authorized to givo an or
der for the delivery of the territory
ceded by it to the U. States* It ap
peaity however, that the treaty id
still unratified, and that the Minister
has no authohty to surrender the ter
ritory; "the object of his mission
has been, to jnake complaints, and to
demand explanations, respecting an
imputed system of hostility, oft the
part of citizens of the U. States, a*
gainftt the subjects and doihinions of
Spaing and an unfriendly policy in
their Government, and ttt obtain new '
stipulations, against these alledged
injuries* as the condition on which
the treaty should be ratified*
Unexpected as such complaint*
and such a demand, were, under
existing circumstances,!! was thought,
proper, without compromising the
government as to the course to be pur
sued, to meet them promptly, and to
give the explanations that were de
shed, on every subject, tilth the ut
most candor* The result has pro*
ved, what was sufficiently welt
known before, that the Charge of a
systematic hostility, being adopted
and pursued by citizen! of the U.
States, ajpinst the dominions and
subjects 4r Spaiu, is utterly desti
tute of foundation, and their govern*
ipent, in alt it* branches, has main*
tained, with the utmost rigor, that
neutrality, in the civil war between
r^pain and her colonies, wjiich they
were, the first to declare. No force
n<l been collected, nor incursions
made, froiA within the United States
