M. POR LOS GEFES MILITARES DE LOS CUERPOS QUE EXISTEN EN MADRID à NOMBRE DE TODOS SUS INDIVIDUOS"; en este aviso los Gefes polÃtico-militares constitucionalistas se reafirman en su defensa de la Constitución nuevamente jurada por el rey Fernando VII el dÃa 7 de Marzo de 1820 pues parece ser que hubo nuevas vacilaciones y revueltas cuando comenzaba lo que se dará a conocer como el Trienio Liberal 1820-1823 firmando el manifiesto un buen grupo de liberales que vienen expresados en este suplemento que referimos. Importante resaltar que aunque los números van correlativos y el nombre del diario es el mismo parece ser que las fechas no siguen un orden cronológico con la numeración que llevan los fascÃculos por lo que pensamos que son tiradas diferentes. Se ofrecen todos los números incluÃdo el suplemento del que hemos tratado especialmente de forma conjunta y como unidad documental.
