BONAPARTE continued at Bayonne on the 4th, and a Special Meeting of the Deputies was summoned to assemble in his presence or the Bth, when some important propontions were to be submitted to their coloaderation. There is a wonderful similsrity between the situ ation of Spain in 1150 N, and that of France in 1792. The more we consider it, the more stud we be struck with the analogy ; and of course we are au thorised to hope, if not to infer, similar effects from similar muses. The French, in 1791, after &pow. ing and imprisoning their KING and ROYAL FA MILY, saw themselves attacked by the two most powerful Princes of the Continent, at the head of a vast army. The first General is Euriye con ducted this force, which entered Champagne, and directed its march towards the capital. France, a prey to anarchy and faction, convulsed in her in terior, and disordered in her finances, seemed to I , e altogether incapable of resisting so disproportionate a conflict. Already the assailants div.ded in trna gimuion the kingdom. Out the energies of the ..ation, inflamed by the love of liberty; and in,- &pant at so unprovoked an %%maims on the part of foreign Powers, rose super . o.r to ill attack or opposition. The people, roused to aci.on, found mower:: in t4msetres7 - rinl the itenseleat Procla- illation of the Duke of Bausswice, meastias Paris and the National Assembly with signal punishment, supplied every defect. His army was beaten by a force composed principally of raw sril diers, or of armed citizens, ■nd precipitately aban doned France. In tans, the Spuniords, after seeing their t xc and ROYAL Fauns deposed and iin:Aisened, are attacked by a foreign power, which had previously, from the imbecility and timidity of the formes G vernment, got possession, not only of the capital, but of the principal entrances. into the comit-y. That power, conducted by a man of commtniusite abilities, military and civil, with whom to emnr,aie the Duke of Ban summit, would, indeed, be a mockery, seizes on the vacant Throne, trausLrii it to his lirother, and marches in his forces, to secure the outaniume of the peop!:.
