THE NATIONAL ;LEGISTER. I,OIIDOII, SUNDAY, JULY 3, ISOS. POLITIc,iL EI'ENTd oF THE 0 EEr. At a tin: when most gloomy despondency on the afairs began very getter illy to prevail, Idehly arrived of a train of fortunate .rpassing the most sanguine expectation, some days must elapse before the public iciently calm for a proper investigation of .e the arrival of the news of the past week, Patriots of Spain excited all our interest but aware of the premeditated disposition rces, the talents of the officers command- Tptive employment of the Spanish army, we scarcely dared to forma hope of their ultimate success. —We have now to congratulate our readers upon the snore encouraging aspect of their arrairs ; upon the noble reso lution they have evinced ; tire spirited declarations they have published ; the decision of their conduct at Cadiz ; in a word, of the increasing strength of their cause, and of the cause of all nations. It is particularly worthy of observation, that hitherto the proud and ferocious NAPOLEON in his Continental warfare, has had to contend only with Cabinets and Court Factions. He has now to war with a great and honourable People, excited to the most fervid indignation by a system of fraud, hypocrisy, and insult, seldom if ever equalled in the day-light transactions of one nation with another. We hesitate not to avow, that we look back with mop!• confi dence to efforts arising out of the burning resentment of partially armed multitudes, than to the cold and often causeless operations of a more regular force, uninspired loy any of those feelings which nerve the arm and sustain the heart. Important as a happy result would be, if confined to the Peninsula of Spain only, We do not think it improbable for tl?e contagion to spread further. It is known that several Cabinet Councils have sat upon this business, and believed • that a correspondence has been opened by our Ministers with the Courts of St. Petersburgh and Vienna. The ex traordinary activity of the latter, in recruiting her armies, and rendering her War Establishment respectable, has been understood with a view to extended hostilities against Tur key. Whatever may have been the original intention of the House of Austria, if it be not equally infatuated with that of Bourbon, its renovated strength may pro bably be employed in a war for self preservation. The mind of ALEXANDER, too, if naturally so upright as we have been led to suppose, must lie strangely affected with . he recent conduct of his new Ally. The diplomacy must he dexterous that can palliate his treatment of Spain. We have still to lament the 'indecisive nature of the accounts from the Baltic. Both the Danish and Swedish Papers mention an attack in Malmo Roads, on the 9th ult. hy the gun-boats of the former on a Swedish convoy of :s0 sail, escorted by an English bomb and three armed brigs. The result was, that eleven of tiie merehanlnien and one of the brigs were captured. There seems to be doubts entertained of the disposition of some Svedish guns. boats to shl:.e in the transaction. It is now reported that the British troops at Cottenburgh, in conjunction 'with ',tne Swedish forces, be employed on an Expedition to Holstein, to bring oil' the Spaniards whom the artifices of BONA PA l'E have so fit r removed from theircountry. The enterprise, in the diminished state of the French force, in that quarter may he successful. It is to be wished that some employment of our force may lake place at ail events. At present it appears as if they could be serviceable any , c here hut where they are. Both Nooses of Parliament met yesterday. The Lords ra sacteil no business of importance. In the Commons Sir J. Sinclair moved, that 15001. be granted to the Board of Igricli!ture, to enable them to make Sheridan moved an address to his Majesty, praying, that a special commiss'on might he appointed to inspect the management of prisons in Dublin since 1798, and also to examine into the con duct of inspectors, and investigate the alledged charges of inisconduct.—Carried rem. con.—After which the House was adjourned till Muday, on which day Parliament will be prorogued. 1,=.1 state of public al int.eiligeuee sudd events, so far surf that w e believe st tuntl will be sunk the facts.
