weakness of n throne which dreads discussion , and with _ special care prevents the circulation of the manifestoes of a pretender ; In tho position I find myself p laced at present ,, no other , alternative remains for mo than to appeal to the . Spanish people , being desirous Ihnt they may know my " sentiments , and that they may form an exact opinion regarding . ' mv intentions . ¦ ' ¦ _ . . I will not insist on the . question of right , because it is pamtul to speak of a boloved brother , perceiving him to be subjected to a party winch strives to disavow the . progressive spirit of the ago-. Norwill I expatiate upon his last act , based , if is said , upon the dictation ot clever counsellors , who unfortunately consulted their own iutprests than the honour of my brother . The " question of uiy rig hts is to me inseparable from the sanction of the people to whom I desire to appeal . I deplore the terrible struggle which during many years , and even since tho termination o-f the civil war , the men of liberal ideas have had to encounter in order to etlect tho consolidation ot a constitutional * vstem that ha-1 in reality no other origin than that derived from the
crown , which has not accented freely and loyally representative institutions . Hence the sad spectacle of those administrations which ' succeeded one another in Spain at such short intervals , not chosen alter ascertaining / the' public opinion , but named in order to secure the election of " parties of a determined character , and thus to create a majority which would tamely follow them : hence the general disgust , and as a natural consequence " the slavery of the press , and the little rofr-neot to personal liberty , being tho last result oi' an uninterrupted series of-tumults and promf-ickiwr . tlo-s , sometimes suiibcated hirer precious blood had . been spilled , and occasionally triumphant after gathering but little fruit to return nsiain to the reactionary system . In these vain and miserable contentions the Spanish people , lav . isa their strength , for it is not a tranquil ' and pacific strupr-fto . of ideas , but tt continual warfare in order to destrov every obstacle , continually created
bv the same hand , which ought only to act as . judge in the heldyieavmj : the palisaile open , and procuring , by all possible means'that th ? will of the people be known and manifested .. This system is followed at present bv all truly constitutional mon-arehs , and where it is carried out no mutinies occur , " no risings take place , no ' , shedding of blood exists ; on the contrary , the monarch ... and the people sire bound together m close myion .. . , . It is natural for Vu-. n who . thus iv-. v >? nises the advantages ot . anentire . lv liberal system to desire for !> is country a . sacred respect of individual liberty—the broadest liberty of the -press ., which is the strongest corrective of everv kind of abuse : true equality before the law , aricl equal
privileges to all parties : entire freedom in erections , the only method . of i-endemig the lVpivsonraiive system a reality ; and , i' -i the . economical branch , the total abolition of " such duties .-is are most grievous to the ¦ public , such as-those on articU-s- of eor . su ' . nptio . n and the gate duty : the abolition of the monopoly on tobacco ami suit , by which so raauv industrial pi ; : 'sui : s . n ; v protected : in ? m . i .-r a-. nplo system of amortisation : i . > t . excepting ihe property which is called the _ royal patrimony , because . I consider t ' h : ir the provision : u corded by . the public is suilieiout i . i- a kin . b-. vauso ' . Tie prest . ice and the powei-of a monarch ought not
to W ' based upon the ostentation in which he lives , but rather upon the atVev ' . io-n and the respect of his subject . And if all this which ! desired tor my country be net sul'ieleut to satisfy the wishes ot" the people , it would " net be I who will pur a veto en the national sovereignty , from which I expect eve : ? th-. ug . l ' or this reason 1 lwvci iiot hesitated a moment to make known to you mv wishes , entering into details and reflections : but nt a period wlun uiiiversjil s . itVr . iire decides the fate of monarch ? , he who aspire ? to be one , he who well knows the evils wh . ch oppress the Spanish people , he who ardently desires to contribute to their happiness , ought to proceed with noble frankness , and to make manifest in the face of tlie nation his sentiments and his profound convictions .
1 portedly oompreliend that my frankly liberal tendencies have occasioned surprise to many , and profound disgust to some of . my father ' : ? servants , who never desire to sec ne separate " myself from his principles , and create doubt at leas ; in those who , taking into consideration the name which I bear , believe it ditfieult that I could openly brvnk from the traditions of my family . I respect the memory of my father , who was entirely united to the ideas of his time , s * . ul which he upheld honourably " and with perfect faith , derived from profound conviction , until he breathed hi * fast ; but it is unjust in any grade of society to make a son responsible for the error ' s of his lather ; it would b ? a greater iriustice to make me participate in such responsibility in treating of * political opinions N > hieli hitherto I have had no ^ invasion to manifest ; and until t «\ perierex \ thoivadinjj c-i history , and ihe practical example of . t hat . wlnVh I observe v'very moment i'i this classical eoanrry of liberty , ' produce-, ! the oonvic : i . > n in nu > that it is madness to oppose the progressive sp-irit ot tho age , su ; . l that thePivuie right has no sigmticAtion without the . assent and love of the poopU . to at

a truly constitutional king , whose hig h attributes I know , havmg been his companion in arms , and served under his orders in the distinguished brigade of Savoy- ^ -a king who is not only the idol of Piedmont , but of tha entire population of Italy , who recognise in him the champion of its liberty and its independence . ¦ _ Finally , I see in this great and hospitable country a virtuous Queen , a model of a mother of a family , who commits no offence against established institutions , nor conspires against her ministers , divesting herself of every influence which does not appertain to her legitimate and responsible advisers , who are called to this position by the national will a Queen who finds its strongest support in this liberal system , which is so much dreaded by the adherents of antiquated ideas . It is natural that he who has received so many lessons in tho school of misfortune—he who has been a close observer of so many and such grave events^—he who has been able to compare the results of the two conflicting systems for the dominion of the world—should have formed a firm conviction , and that he aspires to realise , in the country of his birth , those princip les which constitute the prosperity and grandeur of other more fortunate nations .
