The General-in-Chief of the Army of the North to the President of the Ministerial Regency, January 31, 1875

[Inclosure.—Translation.]

The General-in-Chief of the Army of the North to the President of the Ministerial Regency.

[Telegram.]

In the name of this army, I congratulate Your Excellency personally, and I am happy to salute you with the highest respect. As we all rally under the flag of the legitimate monarchy, represented by Don Alfonso XII, permit me to give expression to the fervent desire of the Army of the North, that that flag may henceforth be, not the ensign of a party, but the emblem of the regeneration of our country, and the labarum of all Spaniards who love order and liberty alike.
