War between Spain and France.
The Editors have received, through the politeness of a highly respected friend, a copy (in the Spanish language) of the Declaration of War by the King of Spain against the Emperor of France.
Unfortunately they are not sufficiently acquainted with the Spanish language to venture upon a translation. They will however endeavor to procure a translation of it to be made without delay.
It is dated at the Royal Palace at Madrid, on the 2d of May, 1815, signed "Fernando," and countersigned "Pedro Cevallos." The title of it runs thus: "Manifesto of the justice, importance and necessity of the design of the King our Lord to oppose the aggression of the Usurper Bonaparte, to procure the repose and tranquility of Europe, and protect the interests of humanity and religion, in alliance and union with the Sovereigns who signed, at Vienna, the Declaration of the 13th March in the present year. Printed at the Royal Press, by order of the King."
