The disembarkation was to take place the following day. The Semiramis also arrived on the '2 oth at Corunna, having on board Mr. FRERE, our Ambassador to the Supreme Central Junta, and the Marquis de la ROMANA. They were received with extraordinary marks of honour ; and, as son as they landed, tb,. mules were taken from their trriage, which was drawn by the people, a►nidst the loudest acclamations, to the Government House. general illumination took place, the same evening, on the occasion, The Semiramis had a million of dollars on board for the use of the Spanish army. Letters were also received at Corunna from Lisbon, which mention the em barkation of 14,000 British, and 4000 Spanish troops, for Catalonia. Sir JOHN MOORE, commenced his march on the sth for Spain. We have so often eulogised the Spaniards, and recom mended their cause, that it would he perfectly superfluous to make any more professions of the lively participation we take in every thing that has the most remote tendency to advance their interests, or contribute to their success. We never entertained the slightest doubt of their ultimately succeeding in chacing beyond their frontiers, the baBe rab ble, as they themselves energetically call the enemy. How ever high our opinion of their character and exertions has been, we acknowledge they have far surpassed the sanguine expectations we entertained in their favour. They have been always an honorable and a brave people ; they are now become a very great one. How much we admire their patience under privations and the most harassing duties of war ! How much circumspection do they combine with the most enterprising activity. Their Statsemen, their sol diers, their clergy, and their private citizens display unri valled marks of disinterested attachment to their country, and captive monarch. What are now become of the ty rint's vaunted legions, who, like the ltomans, are expect ed to triumph, in a single campaigA on the Ebro, the Vis tula. and the Euphrates. They are brow-beaten. the mi serable slaves of the most unprinrirk.d and capricious ty nut. Such wretches, driven from their homes with the whip of despotism, to subjugate a community irritated freemen in arms what a curious and instructive example does Bonaparte at present receive with iusolent fastidiousness, the homage of vassal Monarchs and of fifty Princes, whilst his remorseless and perfidious heart is agitated to frenzy by the disastrous ac counts he receives from the Pyrenees. Should Nuv be pursued as far as the Gnronne by the United British and Spanish Armies; and if he were to receive the fulminating ii!elligence in the midst of this brilliant corttge, how we should like to see the impression it would make on the face of the insolent Upsart. The degraded Princes who ob sequiously crouch before his throne, how they must sink with shame and confusion, when 'hey compare their infamy and humiliation with the glory and independence of the Spaniards. Miserable wretches! in order to pres:!rve their cooks, their mistresses, their harlequins, their Italian singers, - . heir flatterers, and their pimps, they submit to a drudgery and debasement, to which the most pinching poverty, or all the horrors of the most loathsome would be trifling in the opinion of some of thr sore. Should Pwrza the GREAT be suddenly life, and hear that one of his immediate desoeu quitted his throne and kingdom to do he Corsican, he would wish the earth might swallow him up, in order not to wiiicss strous humiliation All the effects of his uius, and of CATHAaucc's comprehensive poli trated by this weak, unthinking Monarch. and marauding warfare of his Cossacks and Ta land, and his attempts to rob his gallant brother-i! province, are akoor compensation to his dish jects, for the disgraceful part he acts at prtsel done every thing in his power to gratify the a! rancour a BONAPARTE against the KING of S , the day of retribution shall come, when he wi to bewail his own infatuation, and the pertid of the traitor RomANzow.
