This account is undoubtedly at i :once with what 'Englishmen often talk of as a mut ter 'll notoriety, namely, the eegerness which ielea t . 3 he manifested to receive " filer Aigleis" wherever be went, end to assist in eating him or his sapertleous gel:teas. Such, indeed, is history hands.', down to us; but it is from other times, cad applies. toy race English travellers very different frora theac *alit) era new buffeted about the whole surface of Eurepc, with feeeeent derision and contempt. The fettourite maxim of our neighhourt en the Continent, *the judge from their personal inter tee with our countrymen, is, that the British character has totally ciranged with ciecem etances; and that, since the peace) of 1815, the Miler .leglais and the guineas have disappeared together.— New, Iforeigne.rs of the het ago, and of this, have had different standards by which to judge the English cha. teeter. Formerly, there were many travellers from England, men of fortune, who went to see the world, and•who were ambitiout to behold , it front that advan tageous eminence, Whereon wealth and rack had placed them. There wens matey Englishmeu likewise of low degree, who tewellede but they were few in number, and lost in obseurity; and the public opiuion of the the national character of England was governed by, and identified with, that of the superior class to which we have alluded. Whitt is the case within the last three veer.? Instead of soma hun.lreds of liberal and wealthy rrevellare, we send *broad into every slate of Europe thousands of needy and earsinentions emigreeets—emea who, driven by taxation into &es:rarity at home, go to cave money, not to epend 'it ; who leave no tracer o f affluence or grandeur on their route, but ofrend the inhabiteats by cloWnisit manners, underbred arrogance, and undisguised suspicion of the truth and honesty of every person with whom they have any tlealinge. It is not, therefore that the English character has changed, but that an inferior class of Englishmen expose them eolvos to tereigners, compared with that. to which the rue of oar trevellere was confined before the preeent e•otteration.

The insurrection of Perninabnce made a deep im pression upon his Catholic Majesty, and at tho moment when Jr,. wished to rec:anunual this aveat to ths-attr..r... tion of the Soyereignr. his Allies, it was also necessary to demonstrate its direct relations with the general interest. It has been with the greatest satisfaction that his Mitiosty has receivad the answer of his High Allies. They open a way for very important negoeiations, and may lead the Powers to lino-fore in tli;.! unfortunate state of circumstaaces in which America is placed, iu order to employ all the moons that pteacneu and vigour suggest to bring under subjection the revolted Provinces, and put an end to the immorality and politica conta gion arising from such a state of affairs. In outer to give effect to the first mcasuros so happily commenced, his Majesty is of-opinion, that the moment is arrived when he is called. upon to make known, in a categorical and soloun manner, to his High Allies. the principles which he has prescribed to himself, to °poem the good which he proposes, and such as might be ex. pected from his sentiments of humanity.
