It is 'cutely [invisible that the pirtieolor part of Our ola-ervativas on the State of Europe, which ap plies to Spaitt, could have conic antler notice at a inure rlifffut:t roe neat then the present, when, perhaps, the fate of that country rests on • battle, of which we may eape:t intelligence every day.— Bat to such of the Readers of %As Press who may have given these Emits an attentive perusal, it will have appeared that the view •we hove taken of tail imports:it .übject has by no means been directed to the mere matters which wwim 0:1 the sorfAce. or to such a stole of things u can be alumattly mate rially affected by the resale of one battle. or one I 11.11pA;g1t. We have drawn front deeper sowers; and from general argument,, -nil a view, not of the ash* of see couhtry, but of the relative situation of all letaraf4.lll GeTa rumen's, have come to those conclusions to which, in our judgment, it appeared we might fairly come. Vet there cannot be a doubt but that the event of a general battle be tween Lord Welliugtoe anti Mosseua. will have very important effect item' the destioies of Spain. at.d. through Spain, on the foe of Europe. Should the British army he decidedly victorious, the conse quent loss of the see ny on the Peninsula will be prodigious ; a new energy will be infused into the whole maaarof the Spanish people, and risiiigs in every quarter will displry in arms against thosr• tovrolcc., thousands now barely awed by superior force into au unwilhog submission. On the con trary. should the British Army be compelled to alsandon Portugal. though the resistance of the Patriots might be somewhat protracted by other means, end a desultory warfare be carried on by mountain bands ; yet every intelligent person st look at the struggle as only the dying efforts of a conquered peo l de. Spain will then be sub jected to the dy nswe or Bonaparte. But. how Spain ?—!Cet a well-populated country— eat a country rich iu the productions of nature—nut a country from w' i, h armies may he drawn—net a country with a fleet for the owe of its costqu.ror—not a country possessing trade or manufactures—not a country receiving supplies from golden colonies--not a ro.intry,which,thottich subjugated, rn.ty easily be incorporated with the State to who e force it has been compelled to sub mit. Spain may be laid at the Get of Bonaparte, but with none of these advantages as a dowry. —wow amitorobly different is the picture ! Look at the Sprint which Bonaparte might, but for his nod anthition, hare cuitral:rd at pleasure, have turned to his piirp-ises, and wielded as his politics directed ; Day, which he did so cinpluy--aml look N at the S,iain which his utmost success can now olgoiss Ow ita re *awl.

Ina ; tact We ttley ex• pest, that the country acquired by blood said crime, must be held by the same tenure, till it pleases Providence to give another turn to the deplorable state of prostrate kingdoms. If then, (as we have before shewn, in Nos. 11. and Ill.) the Coufederation of the 'thine, Holland, and other States, must entertain a hostile disposition tossords Bonaparte; how flinch more must Spain (Including Portugal, for their cause against France is our and the same) feel for years to come the 6traegeat degree of hatred and detestation towards this scourge of her race. The acquisition of the country, mid the kingly nam , c of Joseph, is no sea_ quisition of strength to France : so far the reverie; that no man of common understanding will main laid the position, that, even under the most fa vourable cirzunistances„ it is possible for Bona parte to render that country, in Ilse years, so effici ent or useful to him, as it was when he committed the unprincipled act of inveigling her Princes to Bayonne, and broke throo4h every honest tie, by invading the tetritory of all unsuspecting friend and ally. We shall not dwell on the further injury he did to his grand objects, by this equally atrocious and imprudent measure. (inc glsnce is suffirient—that by creating itellviwistkait nations (rue their extent merits that titk) across the Atlaiitii., he at once destroyed his oats purpose for the &et ritiment of colonies and commerce, and opened new sources of increase to the mercantile greatness of England, which he wished to overthrow. The truth is, that Bonaparte, to whose talents we are ever ready to give the ',rinse they deserve, com pletely overslept the bounds of wise policy iu his attack on Spain. He newer calculated on the re sistance of the people, but (oinoling his expectations on the lethargy in which fur a century rod • half they had lain, he looked fur an easy acquiescence in all l.is treachery and arnb.:ious usurpations. Brat the. spirit of the Spanish nation, trough so long lost in the gloom of superstition, in the languor of idle ness, and in the voluptuousness of plenty, was not dead : a convulsion like this was perhaps the only thing that had sufficient power to arouse it: end, to the astonishment of Europe, it has been shewn that the Spani,h character, even after so total an eclipse, wag not extingiiislied. It was a singular pheno menon, on which future historians will dwell as one of the inost remarkable appearances in the annals of nations, or the moral history of man. The cause was great, and the effect not leas extraoraivary; ant can we Sail a parallel aiiion4 all the events of forme times, which have thus suddenly willed forth the united energies of a people. But, according to the !Ilan we have pursued in these Essays, it is more proper for us to look to the ftrure erect', the in.! Aims of Spain may have no the State of Ellrolle, 1111111 to dwell on the wonders of the 'mast. We inive ateitady added her to the list of those to whom the increasing domination of the family of Bonaparte must lie ino.t hateful; bet her limtility will sheet the powes ef her euriny in a dif ferent manner from any of the other inimical States. Feuer/It/tying it will scarcely be possible that ever she should enter into any combined plan of operations, or take part in any coalition th:a may arise against Bonaparte.—:Be it observcd, that we are arguing on the 11100 unfavourable state of the supposition, that she should be conquered in her present struggl.).—But her part sill not therefore be the less injoriou: or dangerous to the usurper. Site will be • thorn in his side, awl a drain on his resources, more fatal and exhausting than she could be were she to lo lug an army of 100,000 men into the &It far the invasion of France. Not only will this be the effect of the conquest of Spain, during the wars in which Bonaparte may hereafter be en gaged, but its gnawing and prejudicial Pmdency will be felt by him, even should lie have no other enemy to contend eosins?. It is a running sore which will continue aninterroptedly to distress and weaken the villainous hand which inflicted the wound ; and well nay Bonaparte exclaim with our immortal Swan of A VC.11.-••• Thum evcii-limiuled Justice f..nsincuil. ILr liossuis'il ilialoce 1• ilmt lips Of I ell mei niur. Spain, then. au far from being a rateable acqui sition to Bonaparte, appears In be, if we may use the varmints'', an accession of weak tits,. It puts no strength into his hands to be wielded against otter's ; bet, on the contrary,restaires, and must con tinue to demand, a waste of the strength he before pommel. to keep it in obedience to his usurped sway. In war, it will be his enemy ; and, if com pelled to the semblance of friendship in peace, a hollow and instcure friend. When we add to this. that the unprincipled manner in which the liberties acid im;epeadence of Spain were invaded, 009 90 gross and atrocious, that no sophistry amid give it a colour. nor art forge an excuse fur it ; that it stands recorded as the sole effect of lawless foicc unrestrained amlatiop ; we must believe that tne eyes of the most blind are thereby opened to the real character and destgas o Napoleon ; and thane . ' the immensity of his power may for a time keep the Vaud iu awe, yet that its effect on the inotal wadi is greetl and will ultimately produce • strong efforts against his t)ran.sy. Not even vil lains love %Waists; they we the objects of ma , trust and fear even to one isant'oer ; and from fear and oristruot, the final' of violence, rioarrels sail MU Are sure to spring. It is io Lis power taw that NApoleou Ludo le. tntrity. With the etreptiiin . orMs own cresttires,it is not in human nature that any man should him well. Can he look fur friends in Spain, which be has depopulated ?—in Holland, which he has in sulted and betrayed ?—in Russia, which he has hu . titillated, and is engaged in circumventing?—i ll Austria, which lie has ieduced and wasted ?—in the Tyrol, which he has manured with the blood of its people I—in Switzerland, tali di he has robbed of its thirling liberty I—in Italy, which he has usurped, pillaged, and debased ?—iu Turkey, which he has shorn of power and territory ?—ia Sweden, which lie has been iiistrumental in reducing:—o. in the Con fed ration of the It!iine, whose iiiierests, though subservient to his own, he has by a late act aban doned ? In short, it is in Denmark alone that we believe Bonaparte has a sincere adherent in the mo narch of that country, who is as much devoted to his cause as hi. own Josephs or Jerotnes. The man whose security rests solely no his power, is never secttre—etrry breath shakes it, every 31e• vident tends to its overthrow ; and if once the title of fortune turns, the descent mu.t be even more gulden than the rise. No political sagacity, no art, no management, can guard against every com bination of circumstances ; and one false step often destroys the fniiric must fortunately raised, and most cunningly aupp:irted. That the volume of fate may contain some chapter of this kind in store for Bonaparte, every Briton must wish.—lii our foregoing Essays we have shewn all that it seemed post•ible for us to hope. In our nest, cud last, we shall hike an oppovtunity of drawing some general contliwions Irmo the whole premises laid down ; us well Its of making one or two further remarks on the state of France itself; and of England, on winch we have hitherto refrained from entering: (To be trostimectl.)
