ODE TO HIM WHO DESPAIRS OF SPAIN, EY THE AUTHOR. OF "TALAVERA." DzsrA tit 0? SPAIN! and Bost thou dare To talk, cold plodder, of despair ? Dost thou presume to scan The proud revenge, the deathless zeal, ,The throes that injurd Nations feel, Beneath the Oppressor's ban ; The pride, the spirit, and the poW'r That, growing with the arduous hour, Ennoble patriot Mane O thou of little heart-and hope, Purblind diviner, can thy scope Nothing but danger see ? Unfrighted, tho' with carnage strew'd, Ev'n in her ruins unsubdu'd, Great in adversity, Do Saragossa and her train— Heroes and saints--survive in vain, Shall they be told Despair of Spain,' , And told, alas ! by thee ? Alt ! no ; though France's murd'rous band Should sweep the deolated lard, Revenge will still remain: Smother'd, but not extinguish'd quite, A spark will live, in time will light, And fire the length'ning train ; Stung by that pang which never dies, Enthusiast millions shall arise, And Europe echo to their cries, NEVER DESPAIR OF SPAIN! MR. DAVY'S LECTURES AT 7HE ROYAL INS7'IT LECTURE Viii. In the Le6lure pi Saturday Mr. Davy offered a further •developement of his opinons and experi ments relating to the,nature of oxymuriatic acid, or chlorine gas,Sswhich he stated to be Ike oxygen, a simple endeCompounded supporter of combustion. Most inflammabl e substances barn in it ; some of them even Sponta neously, atlhectimmon tempera . - tore of the atmosphere. .According to the sotern of the French chemists, this gas is a compound of muriatic acid gas and oxygen ; bUt Mr, Davy oh• served, that the compounds formed by the union of different substances with this gas, by combus tion, were different in their nature from oxyds.— Phosphorus when burned in oxyges forms the phoSphoric acid, which- is a fixed substance thit cannot be made volatile, hut a high degree of temperature; but the compound of phosphorus and chlorine is extrernely'volatile. Nor do its combi nations with sulphurs or the mesais, resemble sul phuric acid or metallic oxyds. Whatever substances are burned in this gas, 'no . muriatic acid is formed, unless water or oydra t ;en be present. ‘Murialic acid being a compound of chlorine with hydrogen, cannot be formed by the union of chlorine with other substances, except those alone which furnish hydrogen. All metals shave a greater affinity for chlorine than oxygen ; and metallic oxyds, when heated in thiS gas, part with oxygen, and enter in combination with chlorine. The earths and alka lies also, when heated in this gas, part with oxy- - gen; . and their enetalFc.bases form new compounds with -chlorine gas.- The (it:amity of oxygen they give out during this process may be ascertained, and we may thereby determine the proportions in,which oxygen exists irr the different earths. Chlorine gal m also enters into co - bination with oxygen, an d fortns.a new gaseous substance; to which, on ac count of its colour, he gives the name "euchlorine gas." The slightest increase of temperature is suf ficient to destroy the combination of these gasses : light and beat are produCed by their separation. If a piece of copper leaf be • placed in euchlorine gas, no inflammation of the copper ensues ; but if the temperature be g...ntly raised, the copy et immediate ly takes fire, uniting with the chlorine, and leaving the oxygen gas unchanged. This experiment fur ther /sieves the greater a ff inity of metallic subst ance s for' chlorine than oxygen. • Common Salt, which was supposed to be a mix ture of mutiatic acid and 'soda, Mr. Davy said was a more simple substance than what was considered as pure soda—soda consisting of a metal, oxygen, and water and common salt of a metallic base and an acid. The application of oxymnriatic acid, or chlorine, to bleaching, had been extensively ap plied ; but Mr. Davy observed that in most of its combinations, it injured the vegetable fibre of the bleached substance. Last year, he stated be had. found Iliat oxymuriat of magnesia, though less ra pid in its operation, was less injurious than any other combination of this acid. He now ob served that it had been applied extensively by some of the manufacturers in Dublin with great success. THE ARTS.—LAWRENCE will add even to his high reputation . by a portrait-which he has made of his friend KEMMLE, in the part lot Cato, an] which is mentioned in high terms by the best judges. The ability with which this actor sustains the part demands .indeed the record of the pencil, and none can supply that record with more bkill, taste, and congenial spirit than the artist who has so properly adopted the subjnat; The Managers of the Pantheon - have have, it seems, adjusted their d:tferences. Such an amiCable. result, according to report, is not likely to attend another similar concern ' (not a foreign one), in which the , Proprietors are said to be at such high warfare, as to threaten a separation at the close' of the season. Mr. Baker, one of the porters at the Queen's Palace, died suddenly on Saturday, about font .. .o'clock in the morning, at his house in Z'imlico, in -conse queOce of a bite floin a dog about six weeks since. His first attack was on Thursday afternoon in the Lodge, when his conduct was observed to be very uncommon ; he however slept there, it being his turn so to do, but had a very restless night. On a medical gentleman belonging to the Household see ing him on Friday and learning that a dog had bic him, he said he could not lite three days. .A liquor-merchant, in Blackfridrs-n , ad, who was engaged in illicit distillation, has bred] excliequered for 30,0001. GEEMALV PAPEhS, tERNE, FEB. 4.—The 2d and 4th gwiss Regi ments, with several battalion§ of others, now on service, are on their March to Liege, where they will be for Med into a division ; and thee cpmmand given to Gen. Belliard. Our contingents will in fu ture be forrried into divisions in order that the re turns be more complete, the deficiencies easier filled up, and ,the names of those who may desert more speedily known and published. VIENNA, Tee. 3.—For many years there have not been known such long and violent discussions in the Diet of Hungary as during the present sitting. Both the' Magnates and Representatives of the peo ple have concurred in opposing the financial area-, sures which were necessary to the salvation of the .State. ,They urged that the Constitution of Hun gary did not permit them to acquiesce in impsing, such heavy burthens ; that the Hungarians, a brave, loyal people, were always ready in making every sacrifice to Maintain the rights of their Sovereign ; but that, should they adopt the financial system proposed by the Ministers, they would bear an un equial proportion of the public burthens, and be made a sacrifice tolhe Hereditary States. The du ration of .these . discussions has occasioned much pub lic. inconvenience; Courts of Justice having been shut during the time; and the,expences of the Diet having amounted to three millions of florins. It is believed that the Diet will terminate its sitting .on. the 12th of this month. It has at length been agreed that :he Hiingarians shell pay, in two years, .24 millions of forms, in bills-of exchange; deliver into thd Imperial maga zines four millions of measures of grain, ofditferent sorts; and -submit to- an extraordinary impost of two florins for each quintal of salt during three years. BANKS OF THE MAINE, FEB. 18.--Twelve, wag gons hden with money passed through Frankfort on the 6th inst. on their route to Magdi•burg. On the 4th, there passed others 1a.:1 5 m with powder, Sce., and on th e 12th inst. there passed thro ug h, f or t h e saint.. destination, three battalions of French and Spanish troops, consisting of 800 men each. CARLSRUHE, JAN 29.---The troops in garrison at Fr,ii.k fort received, ou the 12th inst. a route tor Da tzic ; they"wdl set out on the Ist of next month. The battalion which was at Fuida has taken the same road. Some ;htelligence from Alicant, 'of the loth ult. Te2resents the conduct of the enemy in the province of Valencia, to have been most oppressive and atro cious; and that, the exasperated inhabitants were forming themselves into bands of guerillas; thus fol4owing the example of 'their injured. countrymen in other parts of the PeninSula, in a system of re sistance not so brilliant indeed as the formation of regular armies, bUt which. experience has proved to be well suited to the character of the .people, and the localities of "their situation ; and peculiarly troublesome, 'haras'sing, and wasteful to their in vaders. Antigua Gatttes to the end of 'l3ltTember have been received. They state that General Mi randa, Commander in Chief of the forces at the Caraccas, had entered . into_a rompaa with the Ftench, ny which he agrees to admit into his ports all prizes made from the British. Several captUred vessels are said to have arrived there, most of which, with their, cargoes, were purchased on account of Miranda. It was reported at Antigua, that in con sequence of the facilities afforded by Miranda, six teen more French corvettes were expeaed in those seas. The St. Chsistopiter's Gazette of the t`st of No vember contains a statement of every person's in cotne, according as he is rated to the income tax.— Possessors of sugar estates, pay six shillings on eve y ton of sugar; and others, when their incomes, in dependent of such estates, amount t 0.2001, currency, are to pay one per cent. CumA.—:Letters from China mention, the cele brated TSUN-TE-TSIN, who attended Lord'AIAcART NEY on his return from Pt-kin, and who is noticed such high terms by Sir G. STAUNTON, in his_his tory of that embassy, had been appointed Viceroy of Canton. Immediately on his arrival he sent a message' to Sir G. STAUNTON expressing a desire to renew his former acquaintance with that gentleman. Great.hopes were entertained, that, in consequence of this.appointinent, the many grievances and dif ficulties which have been progressively accumulat ing in the atfairs of the - British tadory would be re medied. INDIA.—In consequence of the ruptute of the negocialion between Arneer Khan, and the Raj.th of Jeypoore, the latter, with a body of cavalry, was advancing to his antagonist's capital: His army, under the command of Mahomed Shah Khan, was numerous and well paid ; ,and part of the jey,poor territories had been portioned out among his fol lowers.—Mahmood Shah had published'aq amnesty at'Cabul, which had. restored tranquility. Prince Abbas, the pretender to the throne, had fallen into his hands, and, according to the oriental custom, had his eyes put out. 'Thirty of his SirdarS wete beheaded. A commercial intercourse ,between the Isles of Mauritius •and Bonrbou respealively, and the Cape of God Hope, was authorised bti• an otiicial notifi cation publis7ied at Port Louis, on the iGth July— such intercourse to be considered subjea io the same restrictions as fornierly. The Ceylon Government have notified, that met chant ships, of not more than 3W) tons but then, Will be permitted, under cc; tain regulations, to trade to the cape of Good h o p e . The Hunter and the Uaion, two vessels from Calcutta to the Fejee Islands, are suspected to have fallen into the hands of the natives of New Cale donia. Me sirs.

ROBBING THE HOUSE OF COMIZONS.-011 the 61h instant, the Committee noom, No. 9, of the House of Commons, was robbed of a valuable clock. No particular person was suspeEted; it was, however, ascertained that a pawnbroker's duplicate for a clock had been offered for sale to Mrs. Meyer, who deals inlhe purchase of pawnbrokers' duph 'cares, in the London-road, St. George's fields. Ola the second day after the clock had been stolen, Mrs. M. went to Mr. Forkard's,, a pawnbroker, in the Westminster-road, but they . could not agree upon terms: On the following clay Mr. F. received in formation that the clock had .been stolen. After that a man' presented the duplica'te in a similar Man ner, when he was _taken into custody by a patrole, . who searched him and brought him to the Office. He:proved to be a broker in the Srand.• The ac count he gave of his having possession of the dupli cate was, that a man of the name of John Brother ton had given it him to purchase the clock. By order of the Magistrate, John Brotherton, was apprehended on 'Friday, and underwent an ex= amination, when he acknowledged giving the broker the duplicate. He said, that he took it of }oung man for a debt of honour, whose name he did not know, or where he lived. He met him at gambling-houses. The prisoner is a man of very respeatable appearance, and acknowledged that he frequently went to the House .of Commons. The pawnbroker said he did not think it was the prisoner who pledged the clock. A Gentleman belonging to the House of Com mons identified the clock. The prisoner w.ts cow• mitten. UNION-HALL, MARCH IC—Jones, carter to Mr. Ramsey, of King-street, and Ruse and 1 t aaer, ostlers at the Black Jack and Black Horse public houses, Russia-Green, were charged before Mr. BERNIE, the Magistrate, the first with stealing hay and corn from his master, and the other two with receiving them, knowing them to be stolen. It app-ared that Mr. Rumsey, who was in the - pradice of frequently sending his waggon out of town for wood, had a suspicion, from' th.: appear afice of his horses, that they did not get their proper quantity of food ; and to ascertain the fact, he di rected Smith, the Newington patrole, to watch ilitz, waggon next time it went out early in the morning, and notice the quantity of hay and corn which was taken. Smith did so, and on the 24th of February, on the waggon going out, he saw a sack of horse meat, mote than the proper quantity, put into it ; again on the 2d of March three trusses of hay, in-. stead pt one, and corn, which Was what Mr. "Rum. sey allowed, were taken ; and on Monday morning last an additional truss of straw : on this occasion he stopped the waggon, by direction of Mr. RumSey. From the statement of John Saunders, the under carman, imappeared that on the 24th of February, the sack of horse-tneat was left with Rose, and on the 2d of March the hay was left with Walker, as the waggon passed the door in its war to the place where it was going to take up wood ; and that on hose clays the poor horses bad only part of on:: truss of hay to eat amongst them. Walker and Rose farmed aijr_ places of _their masons at so much a year. This prac.lice, which is very prevalent, the • worthy Magistrate highly revrobated r he observed, it only set ved to eocoutage men in the situation of • the prisoner, Jones, to rob their employers, and starve their catty, by the facility •wWc atforded them of disposing of the plunder. • fully coal= witted all - .three for trial; the first for stealing the hay and, cola, and the two latter for receiving' ir s I:tic/wink it to be stolen.
