RESTORATION Of TOR ISQUIs.'TIOV• Amid the utmost exertions of his arms, Boos' parte has ever been eqtrilly strenuous ns the appli catiois of iotrigue to effect his purposes. The tots of diplomacy. sod the influence of corruption, have gone hand in hand with his military endeeroors; and it is hard to say, whithee he has copiloted more by Its labours in the held or in the cabinet. If this ob-ervatiou be correct with regard to his other contests, it is not wouderful that the means . so successfully employed agaiost former euelities,. to the subversion of the powers of Austria and Pros risoand the etishireinent of the Europesii Colaineut, elsouW again be resorted to in the case of Spit', where, from the distractions of the Country, so large a field was opened fur the exercise of gailic sage. unity and cunning. indeed, throughout the whole of the struggle, we have seen the fatal consequences of pettily and treachery among the Spanish chief tains cud nobles. The nurrender of Madrid—of lia a thousand other instances it would be easy to adduce of the prevalence of corruption, awl of th , t use madeof their wonted engine by the French. Among the other sources whence advantage; might be obtuined by this system, it is not to be supposed that 1 - 3anapstte would overlook or neglect that co pious and prolific spring which - issued from the as seinhlege of the Cortes. There are few, if any great bodies , in which some rotten members are not neutrally to be found, and to these it is not difficult by intrigrie. interest, and bribery, to add in a very eunsidereble degree. It cannot be doubted but that the National Assembly of Spain is eomposed of stick iogtertieurs as bring it under the iirticles of the above description, sod that to those Deputies naturally affected in t way Motile to what we con ceive to be tho true intemsts of their country: many • hive been added by the arts &Ude..easy', whose only objeotkere to reVOIIT:his views, Mid create in barrassment in the councils which they areelected to aid. We are led to these reflections by a view . of the late events which have taken place m the Sitting. of the Cortes. It is impossible to ascribe thesis to any other cause hut to that we have just • assigned ; ad the agency of Botiaparte, we la ment to observe. shines too clearly through the thin veil, to be mistaken either fort wisdom. loyalty, or patriotism. We could bear-with a feel ing bordering on contempt, the folly of men cot• fined to a corner of their country.debetisig on emo tions of petty fitai-ice and local legislation, at a time when their only object ought to have been to dispossess their invaders of thaterritory they had usurped. It was only ridiculous to atiniiiiister in effective laws to cbmitcti in the Lauda of a powerful enemy; but when we see them introducing topics. the very mooting of which. like the '4O • of dis cord. must be productive of disunion. weakness. and consequent ruin, indigestion succeeds to tiov, amid we Inuit raise our voice to point out t!.t chief, and reprobate its authors. From the title of this paper it will b• seen, that assist 04bject to which our oletersat.,:iis point. to that connected -with the propositiem submitted to she Cortes, for the rtoestablishineto of the lorpii sition to Spain. We take it as most obviously Illus trative of our argument, not as its only illustratoo, fir sorry are we to say, that many Mee*, equally ustschietrous in their tendency. though of lesser thagurtude. have been introduced, to distract sod v1%11'0%3013 the deliberation of the Spanish Nat 'moil Council.

It is evident, that the .goestion, uncalled for its it was iu the ea. lilting posture of affairs, was raised by an emissary in, the pay of Bonaparte, fur the purpose 9f dis traction and ruining the patriot cause. Let it be qtlesited at once, fur the mere discussal of it mast be injurious to the.commou interests- In one way, it mast unnerve the population of the country, mad render them careless of the matter who shall rale beer them—iu the . other, ig must have the effete f detaching some of the . clergv from the cause,. or 'of making . theist lei xeitTous ita it, and it is well toowo that much of the ardour which now atria mates the Peninsula, is to be ascribed to their in fluence and exertions.
