Manifesto Of Sandhurst
The Manifesto of Sandhurst or Sandhurst Manifesto was a political manifesto signed by the then Prince Alfonso XII, Alfonso de Borbón (future King Alfonso XII of Spain), while he was in exile studying at the British Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, Royal Military Academy of Sandhurst, hence the name by which it was known. It was made public on December 1, 1874, three days after the prince had turned seventeen, and was carefully drafted by Antonio Cánovas del Castillo, the leader of Alfonsism within Spain. Cánovas' aim was "that it be understood already that Spain has a king, capable of wielding the Sceptre, scepter as soon as he is called", as he wrote to the former sovereign, Isabella II of Spain, Isabel II. The manifesto was published by the Spanish press on December 27. Two days later, on December 29, General Arsenio Martínez Campos, Martínez Campos led the pronunciamiento of Sagunto in which Alfonso XII was proclaimed king of Spain.

Manifesto Of Manzanares
The Manifesto of Manzanares () was issued 7 July 1854 in Manzanares, Spain. Drafted by Antonio Cánovas del Castillo and signed by General Leopoldo O'Donnell, it called for political reforms and a constituent Cortes to bring about an authentic "liberal regeneration". In 1854, Spain was at the tail end of the '' década moderada'', slightly over ten years of rule by the Moderate Party. In the last few years, the regime had become increasingly corrupt, and even many of those who were sympathetic to its overt political views had turned against it. On 28 June 1854 Leopoldo O'Donnell, General in Chief of the Constitutional Army, led a coup attempt known as La Vicalvarada, which ended indecisively. He and his forces had moved south to Manzanares, Ciudad Real, where they reconnoitered with other like-minded forces. On 7 July 1854 O'Donnell issued a short manifesto drafted by the young Antonio Cánovas del Castillo, future architect of Spain's Bourbon Restoration of 1874. The manifesto ...
