Note 8 — REPRESENTATION OF FILIPINAS IN THE SPANISH CORTES
Reading edition
These ordinances were unconstitutional because control of the hospice was vested in a board headed by the captain-general, while by the constitution such organizations were now to be controlled by the ayuntamientos and provincial deputations. The despatch regarding this matter was sent to the Cortes by the secretary of Ultramar, November 27, 1812. ↑
