SPAIN. DECLARATION OF WAR by Spain again ft Denmark. ROYAL DECREE. Don Ferdinand VII. by the grace of God, King of Spain, &c. &c and in his name, the Supremo Central Governing .Tunis of Spain and the Indies, to my Counfellors of War, Vice roys, and Captains General of my Armies and Provinces, and all other Officers of my Army and Navy, lntendants. Govern ors, and Alcaides of Towns and FortnfTes, and others perfons, ofvhatcver clafs, eftate, or con dition they may be in all cities, towns and villages of thefe my kingdoms of Spain and the In dies, to whom the contents of this my royal decree may refer, be it known that on ihe 13th of September, I have fent to the I’a fulent of my Supreme Coun cil of War the following Dercec: Spain, elevated in one day to the fummit of glory, which her valor and magnanimity acquired her, cannot now, without com- promifing her honor, obferve much longer with indifference the* aggravated £ r hoftiie ads of the Danifh Government for which that Government cannot plead in jullificalion or excufe to the Court of Spain, the lofs of liberty, and the opprcflion fuf- f i red on the part of France. One of the means by which the French Government took advantage to forward its defigns, was lo fend from Spain a hart of the Spahilh army, firft to Ham burg, and then to Denmaik, in which it was evident to the fo rt reign of (hat kingdom, and to t!ie French themfelves, in the war in which they were engag ed, thet the fervices which all Europe has feen (Sr which were to have been expefted from the < i'cipline and valor of lire Spa- lnlh troops) and which were performed with fo much glory, became an injury to themlelves, of which the lofs of fo many men in dillant regions is a mani- Lft proof. The moment that part of the Sp.inifh army which was in Den- in. 1 k, got intelligence of the no ble rcfolution of their compatri ots throwing off the yoke and tied wing war againlt France, llu y adopted the noble plan, ox- r.mplcs of which are very rare in hiflory, and abandoned Den mark, embarking themfelves to unit** with their fellow citizens in (ii'ir own countries; to fiy to fuccor their brethren, fearleis of danger, and to partake in the glory which the others had ac- q lire—a memorable inftanceof the unanimity and cordiality of fentiment which reigned among Spaniards, even when divided by fo inimenfe a diliance. The Marquis of Romana, who com manded that corps, not doubt ing ol the valor, the conftancy, and p itriotifm of his ioldiers, ai- iidv'i by the zeal of the officers and the common fentiment, re- f.’lved to withdraw with the greater part of his troops, re uniting them in ihe ifland of l-'giland, from which they W' re to ctnbark for Spain, by in ans of the efficacions afliifl. ce which was rendered them 1 v the F.nglilh Navy llaiioncd in ilicit fcas. The delicate proceedings of the Mnnuis of Romana, and his rare in avoiding every thing "hi< h couM be confidercd as an aft of hoflilitv towards the Go verninri.-t of Denmark, and in ma : ritninirg, on* his part, that i- ed harmony which has full- Iffed I ' tween that Court and Ith own, deftim-d th • ixtdifpcn- fible (Viz it re of fame Duniff vef fels to carry his troops to the fortref? of Nyburg, which might hive protected tnfcir cfcapc, and he requeued the Engjilli Admi ral to vary them acrofs. If Denmark had remained neutral during thefe events, and had not oppofed their flight, nor uf’ed force to retain that po:»lon of troops, Spain, conihnt in her fyftem of delicacy and ferupu loufnefs, would not now have had recourfe to flrong meafures towaids Denmark, nor would nave brolc n (lie ties of good Whether Denmark confi.iers herlelf independent and with ihe faculty of acting freely, or whether Denmark is opprtffed and lubjeft to the will ol Napo leon—Denmark is no longer in peace with Spain.—Spain de dares war to her, in the fv-lt place, as a power by whom Ihe feels herfelf injured, and fecond !y, (he does io as to a province of France.

Spain, and the nftive part which the King j her government, in the name of of Denmark, whether fponta ! their beloved foveroign, Ferdi- neonfly or by force, has taken, and continues to lake, in (lie war between Spain and France.

Our clear proof of this is the 1 refuf.il to receive a Negociat< r from Spain in Copenhagen, and the declaration of Count Burn i l Rorff, that circumRanc.es did ; not permit him to maintain any ! corrcfpondcncc with Mr. Shaw. ; D. Edmund Bourke, the Mi- | j niRcr of Denmark, was at this j time tranquil and refpefted in j I Madrid, and only departed from | j that capital, abandoning his cm- j | ployments, to follow the French,! ! in the month of July, 1803;' j which proves, by the moR ob vious evidence, his attachments to France, and is renouncing all correfpondence with Spain. Denmark yielded their naval and land force to France ; the ir ! fortrels ferve them as a wall, and janafylum: the Span iff velffls I cannot freely navigate their feas, j and much lefs enter their ports to trade with them as an afylum again R tempefts, and a portion of Spaniards are detained in their forts as prifoners ; and in a word, Denmark is, without a formal declaration, at war with Spain. What more can one power do than declare war to another, whom (lie judges her enemy r Spain is convinced ihat Denmark, neither for intereft or friend ill ip, nor for any motives, I enters cheerfully into this con- tendon. Spain is convinced that Denmark being governed by the force or influence of France cannot throw off the yoke which me lias fixed on her —a yoke as hard and arbitrary as il flic had been a conquered nation ; and that if Denmark was free, fhe would not aft hof- tility againft a nation of which Die has no complaint, but on the contrary many motives to cultivate a good underftanding. But Spain mu ft anfwer to Eu rope and all the world for her conduit.
