Abstract

This text analyzes a little-known Parisian newspaper that evokes the Spain of 1821, and does not do so in a neutral way, but from the ideological position of being monarchist, conservative and clerical. The columnists come to admit that, seeing himself seriously threatened, the monarch has agreed by obligation to promise to be faithful to the new regime and the Constitution. In its pages the absolutists (the "servile"), the clergy and the "guardias de corps" of the king are judged favorably. The hated adversaries are the "commoners", the members of the "Patriotic Societies", the militants of the " Fontana de Oro" and the "exalted" liberals, sometimes labeled as "revolutionaries." According to the Journal, with the inept supporters of the "new system," the economy is worsening in all sectors.
