But they found a. barrier to their ans. bition and thirst for plunder, in the corresponding a abition and thirst of conquest on the Fart of the Emperor of Curtateaty and-King of Peusst t. These 1 , two potent Powers, equally jealous of each other,and equally desirous of possessing Poland Kith the Russian G eternment itsel ceded as a check upon the latter, and up 'r each other; and France, for the purpose of foster ing and keeping up their mutual jealousies, and of preventing their power from growing and gaining a correspnedieg consolidation, acted as a check upon the ethei three. interest directed her to maintain the independency of Poland, lest her own should be endangered b. its ruin. Thus France, to keep up the ha arse of power in the North, and to prevent her own inviting clime from being inandated with its ,hordes, considered the independence of Poland as lattf.imnunt with her own. Bot when France, through her own internal commotions, lost, for a moment, the power of protectieg her, Poland fell a prey to her savage and aineitintis neighbours; and though &Witted up her hands. to England, and supplicated in thetteelerest strains her aid, Eigland torned adler', ear to her ;bleier, and, instead °fiddle& lent her hand, by - subsidizing the invaders, to comp' to the ruin of the distressed.

It is not our , intention to freeze the genuine nobleness and sym pathysirg teeriereess of the Reader's soul, by leading toroogh t'.e Moody labyrinth of the French Rs. , volution, the dark recesses of which have been rca. dered sill more ;living by the horrid light emitted from the rolling columns of i•der - al dames ; nor to offend his eyes, by presenting to his view the frightful portraiture of her numberless domestic conflicts : tut 4ce it to say, that the workings of this extraordinary event have dragged from the depths of obscurity a man riot less extraordinary ; and, after being armed with Imperial power, he has given new impulse to the vast mareiee, and enlarged its sphere of action...- He knew that the most splendid throne in Europe had seen crushed to atoms, and that his own exalted fort uoto , , had been raised upon its ruins. lie; knew, elide a branch of the once great family whom tao had superseded, retained the sway of a pais,ant empire, that his own power would be in crefstant danger of being overturned. These eensi. Aerations, and the loss of the balance of power in the North, which France had sustained by the sub-1 jugation of Poland, determined NAPOLLON, when op- ' portunity offered itself, to establish a branch of his own family upon the throne of Spain, as that would also facilitate his designs upon the British Empire, if our Government should continue to war agiinst his authority. But though NAPOLEON'S eye was fixed as steadily upon the coneurst of Spain, as the needle ; is towauls the north, yet hp could not create circumstances to give him a colourable pretext for i earryin his plan into execution ; for these he had to wai., end he found them in the corruptiou and folly of the S.,:anish Court; and in the exercise of injustice towards the Spanish nation by the firi dish (;oternment, in seizing their Plata ships, while the two nations were at peace. Imbecility, and not friendship, 'gave France a prepontlerance in the Coun. : of SAin ; and England, by Seising the treasure of the latter, cemented the then apparent union be. Sweets the two Crowns ; and enabled France to search the troops of ;pain to aid in controlling our , • coarnerce on the shores of the Baltic. It had long been known to all enlightened politicians, that the Throne et cpain tottered beneath the weight of its Own imbecility and its crimes ; but it was not known, till the 30th of October, tfit)7, that it also trembled vender tho treason of its successor, of which cir onmstance we were informed by a Proclamation, bearing .date, froth Caances THE FOURTH, its then reigning Monarch ^ ; a man equally 46 sinned against, as sitinieg ;" and who, by submitting to be governed by wicked Councillors, had perpetuated upon his people all the suffering engendered by his predecessors:, and had added numberless of his own. l'ortugal 1 7 4 the object on which to rivet the atten tion o the.devernment of Spain : she bad conquered It in 158% end lost it main in the struggle with the Portuguese; in kupport of their liberty, in-155404 b he ever looked; Upon kas a Rob dismembered. .~ .. • .• .

'The Family-Consrt Treaty, concluded in 1761, between the Crewnl of France - and Spain, had for its object the re-con . quest of Portugal, and the final-anuexation of it to the latter of those nations. But the native weeklies' of the country ; a want of Military skill in the Spa ' nish army ; and the exertions of the Portugiese, aided by the British, prevented Spain from accom plishing her ohjert ; but she never lost sight of it ; and Portugal always, from that period, looked upon England as her protector. And, when the British Ministry had wantonly, improvidently, and shame. lessly seized upon the Spanish vessels, France seized the opportunity, and fired the ambition and revenge of Spain by pointing out Portugal as the fittest place where she could affect the interest of England, by annexing it to her own European territory. A secret 1 treaty was accordingly formed between the tw o Courts, which had for its object the introduction of French troops into Spain, for the conquest of Por .tugal. Thus England furnished the pretext for that measure which has since brought so much misery upon the Peninsula, and that which has resulted to onr own country, in consequence of prosecuting the war in that devoted portion of the globe. In con , firmation of the last-mentioned treaty, and of the . privity 40 it of the Prince of As as, since denomi nated FERDINAND THE SEVENTIN, NAPOLEON directed a letter to that Prince, in November, 1807, declaring him, in the absence of the King,his father, Generalis simo of the united French and Spanish forces, des ; tined for the conquest of Portugal; in which he told 1 , him 44 to go and conquer a country he was destined to govern." It was, no doubt, intended by Ne i eor.toe that FERDINAND _should reign in Portugal, as the best way of disposing of that branch of the 800 itIION family ; but he never intended hiss to reign in Spain also: he knew that the Prince, after having violated the territory of Portugal, would call with a very had grace upon other nationshted even upon his own natural subjects, in defence of his claim to the Crown of Spain. A-man who has notoriously commenced robber himself,excites but little sympathy in the bosoms of others when he is robbed in his turn. In Portugal, FeaDiNeen would have reigned an object of scorn to surrounding nations, and of contempt to his own subjects; and NAPOLEON would not long have wanted either the means or pretext to have un-kinged him. Thus the Spanish branch of the Bourbon family, by being guilty of flagrant ag gression themselves, would have fallen by piecemeal, unpitied, except by their minions and dependents. get circumstances crowded too fast upon NAPOLEON for the slow execution of this scheme, and rendered their expulsion from power more violent and 'less just. Toe corruption, the wickedness, and clashing interest of the Court of Madrid, made the monarchy thereof ready for plucking much sooner than even ,the sanguine genius of NAPOLOON contemplated. In October, 1808, the Prince of ASTURIAS was eatignt out in a conspiracy against his Father and Soy .reign ; and on the sth of November he acknow ledged his guilt in a letter to the King, and one to the Queen, in consequence whereof he received a free par don. The Kilig, however, found to his affliction, as a parent, and the less of his dignity as a Save reign, that his clemency to his unnatural son only whetted his ambition, and enabled him the better to carry his treasonable purposes into execution ; for, on the 18th of March, 1808, he deposed his father, and, on the next day, took possession of the Throne himself ; which is confirmed in a letter, dated the eed of the same month, addressed by the old King to NAPOLCON, in which he thus pours forth the af.

This excited the jealousy of the Czar ; and i hence mutual animosities arose. NAPOLSON might I have quieted the Czar, but then it must have been at the expeace of the faith which the Poles reposed in , him, and it would likewise have heightened the arro gance of his opponent. He, therefore, once more determined to risk the protraction of the conquest of the Peninsula, till he had settled the affairs of 1 ALEX O,IDER ; knowing that by reinstating Poland he I should fix an eternal barrier against the western pro -1 gress of the latter; a barrier consisting of a powerful nation, that must be enemies to Russia from motives ; . of resentment and personal safety, and friends to France from feelings of gratitude.
