Etched caricature by and after Marks. 'A Spanish don (right), in feathered hat and trailing cloak, stands defiantly erect, holding up a placard and flourishing a scroll inscribed Freedom or Death—and Death to all Tyrants. He scowls at three men in military uniform who flee with furtive scowls towards the left. They are the ambassadors in Madrid of Russia, Prussia, and Austria. Watching this flight from the middle distance and on the extreme left is Louis XVIII, his gouty legs swollen and bandaged, and supported on crutches, one of which, inscribed Despotism, is breaking. His crown blows off, struck by a horizontal wind inscribed Liberty from the mouth of a cherub's head emerging from clouds on the extreme right, and immediately above spires and buildings representing Madrid. Louis says to the fugitives: I am come to help you!!!—Oh this Wind will blow my Crown off!!! Carrion birds fly towards him. The placard, slung from a tall pole, is inscribed: The very Insolent Notes you sent me yesterday, obliges me to say, that you have shamefully abused (perhaps through Ignorance) the Law of Nations, which has always been respected by the Spanish, Government, therefore with as many good wishes for you, as you have for us, & with equal indifference wether you maintain Diplomatic relations or not, We request you will be off as quick as possible, as we are determined to be Free!!!
