Proclamation of consular corps to the people of Cadiz.

Inhabitants of Cadiz:

The comité of salud publica has resigned its power into the hands of the foreign consular body of Cadiz. The consuls have not vacillated in accepting so difficult a commission on account of the affection they profess for so noble a people, trusting in the honesty and wisdom of all classes of the population in the towns, whose co-operation they solicit, so that order, tranquillity, and confidence be complete in Cadiz.

They all desire to be aided in this task by the battalions of volunteers, as they already are by the regular forces, so that order may be completely secured in Cadiz, without in the least wounding the just and patriotic susceptibility of the inhabitants of Cadiz, till the moment, near at hand, that the troops of the Spanish government commanded by General Pavia may receive from us the powers which legally belong to them.

  • The Commission, P. BENEDETTE, Consul of France.
  • T. READE, English Consul.
  • E. KROPF, Consul of Germany.
  • A. J. CHRISTOPHERSEN, Consul of Sweden.
  • RAMON ALCON, Italian Consul.
  • I. DAMASCO de MORAES, Consul of Portugal.

Cadiz, August 4, 1873.
