OCLC shows 4 holdings for this newspaper (Yale; LOC; Indiana & UT-Austin). This issue covers the declaration of war by France against Spain. After the downfall of Napoleon Bonaparte, King Ferdinand VII of Spain refused to adopt the liberal Spanish Constitution of 1812 and in 1820 faced a rebellion in favour of a constitutional monarchy, led by Rafael del Riego y Nuñez. The King was captured and detained at Cádiz, where the Cortes, the Spanish parliament assembled. Alarmed by these events, the other European powers convened in October 1822 at the Congress of Verona and authorized France to intervene in the conflict and restore the rule of Ferdinand, with only Britain abstaining from that decision. On 17 April 1823, French forces led by Louis-Antoine, Duke of Angoulême, son of the future Charles X, crossed the Pyrenees into Spain. This invasion was one of the events that prompted U.S. President James Monroe to proclaim what would become known as the Monroe Doctrine on December 2, 1823, to safeguard the Americas against intervention by European powers.
