ultra-marine provinces. On this subject the opinion of Count
Torrino, of Moscoso, & Erpioza, were read to the following effect:—
1. That a declaration should be made annulling the treaty of
Cordoba, entered into between Genl O'Donoju & the Political Chief
of the rebels of New Spain, Iturbide.
2. That the Government should dispatch a circular to Foreign
Powers, to explain that Spain had not renounced its rights over the
provinces of America.
3. That the Government should make arrangements to protect
the provinces which should remain faithful to the mother country & endeavour
to make head against the insurgents: and
4. That a Declaration should be made that no Deputies can be received
from those provinces which have proclaimed their independence.
The discussion was fixed for the following Tuesday.
The Special Commission nominated on the 5th inst to inquire
into the circumstances of the outrage committed on the 4th presented
its Report after having heard the King's Ministers & the Authorities.
As means for preventing similar disorders the Commission
recommends to the next Cortes to conclude the Criminal Code
to take into consideration the state of the Police & to form a plan
for improving it, & to create one or two subaltern Political Chiefs
at Madrid.
Tranquillity was perfectly restored, & all was quietly & orderly
at Cadiz & Seville at the commencement of the present
month. On the 10th the discussion was continued in the Cortes on
the new Restrictive Laws. Nothing was decided."
