Dated Montevideo, 12 de Abril de 1814. This is the proposal for the peace by the government in Montevideo, which requires the oath of allegience to Fernando VII and the constitution. Furthermore: "the previous divisions are instantly buried. Consequently, no one will be disturbed or persecuted for the opinions that he may have had, defended, or written: and the power not residing in any other magistrate to guarantee this promise but in the Captain General of these provinces, he solemnly offers in the name of the king Mr. D. Fernando VII, in accordance with the high and extensive powers that the regency of the kingdom has conferred on him, keep, fulfill, and ensure that the treaty that is stipulated is kept and fulfilled, which has in this part the same validation as if was agreed upon before the national government, whose authority is exercised by the Captain General exclusively in the Provinces of the Rio de la Plata."
The plan was rejected by the Provincias Unidas de la Plata. OCLC shows two copies: JCB and BN Chile.
