EVENTS IN EUROPE.
We have in our last gone into a very minute
description of Cadiz, the principal set-port of
Spain. The importance of an adequate acquain
tance with its situation, in every view, has be
come very great, because it appears to be, like
New York at the close of our revolution, the last
citadel of the Britlir h On the continent ; and the
oonsequences which must necessarily arise out
of its resistance or submission, have an interest
on the affairs of all commercial nations, and a
very momentous effect on the political and com
mercial relations of Europe particularly ; for Por
tugal can never resist even an equal fore* in pos
session of the upper courses of the rivers which
meander through it.
The politician who looks to events Singly, will
seldom judge correctly. To appreciate effects
we must combine causes and estimate various e
▼ents as they lead to a common result. The
subjection ot Austria in th« campaign ol last year, j
averted the destiny of Spain For a season, but the
Very necessity which abated the measures for
cqnquest in Spain, will now render the measures
taken for its accomplishment more prompt, more
rigorous, 8c from the very occurrence of the Gcr-:
nan war, will give a tone of energy k determinate j
on to the accomplishment of the great design of
the European conqueror, that of fixing his dynas
ty on a basis as immutable as human sagacity,
with so much of human power at his command,
Clin assure.
It is well worthy of the consideration of men
who are concerned in the prosperity of nations,
to examine the probable consequences to the
world at large, of that general revolution of all
tiV-e European continent, which closes tire fate of
Cadiz:. It is a subject on which, though the ef
fleets ma:y reach us in one shape or another, we
can contemplate only as spectators. There was
a time Wherh we might have had a vote in the
convention *>f civilized nations. That time is
how past; wif can manage our own affairs in our
own way, but t-he period is past when we might
have had a powerful and an useful vote to give.
That time passed! away with the most fatal mea
•ureof blindnesa and imbecility, the abandon*
xnent of the embai go law by the tenth Con greet t
to that unhappy and deplorable point, will pos
terity look back w\th a sense of humiliation and
an imprecation of indiamant reproach.
We live unhappily in an age when the princi
ples of many ag£s struggle against each other.—
The military spirit of the ages preceding the 16th
century, had been for a time made subservient to
religious fanatacism, but were finally undermin
ed by the spirit of commerce. The civilization
of modern times has been the effect not of the
agreement but of the collision and sometimes of
tbe compromise of all thofee passions, the milita
ry heroic, the fanatic religious, the slow but firm
pace of analytical philosophy, the growth of what
i> termed taste, and which consists in a love of
the fine arts, and a solicitude to possess their fi
nest monuments, and to rival and to excel them ;
this tiste, sustained by the expansion of the navi
gating art, and the still more humble but more
mighty power of printing ; all these have, as it
were, combined, without compact, to liberalize
•no to extend over a larger portion of the spe
cies, tbe blessings, and the influence of intellect
in civil society. While the progress of the libe
ral passions was only an operation of emulation
or competition of mental faculty, the effects were
auspicious to mankind. But there remained still
in a great portion of the most civilized quarter of
the globe, a dark spirit of fanaticism, which had
withstood the light of science, and degraded the
species wherever its murky influence predomi
nated. A large portion of Germany exhibited
perhaps the greatest quantity of bold and analy
sing mind ; and also the greatest portion of in
tellect, frozen and benumbed by superstition and
ignorance, always associates. The sparks which
Bacon struck from the intellect in a dark age,
which tyere re-illumined and rendered more il
lustrious by Locke, at a period more recent, had
electrised Europe. The condition of the human
mind had indeed, like certain bodies, been prepa
red, or the nrw properties which they had acqui
red rendered them well adapted, to be its con
ductors, Thought dared te scintillate in the at
mosphere of thrones and cathedrals. The seep
tre, the diad*;a, and the triple crown, already
shook. Emperors, and popes, and kings, were
forced by an inevitable necessity, even in the
midst of embattled armies and the cenclaves of
the Vatican, to bow and pay homage to the pow
ers of the human mind. Catherine II. Joseph,
•nd Frederick, came from their thrones upon
the common floor of the human species ; and
Ganganelli saw from the escurial chair that
there was no alternative for the triple crown,
but its accommodation to the liberal spirit of the
•re. or its extinction.
The successors ofthose potentates, lets wise
or perhaps not so well educated in the know,
ledge of their species or the character of the age
attempted to return back the tide of intellect
upon the human species, and to assert power
against reason and right. The same causes o
peratiug extensively in a nation distinguished for
its acuteness and its impetuosity, had unfolded
Abuses, found them inveterate, and aimed at a
radical cure. Had the thrones of Europe been
filed by wise politicians, or their councils been
formed of men qualified for the age, the regen
eration of France would have been as certain and
as innocent as the reformation of Florence by
Leopold, or the organisation of Prussia by Fred
erick.
Fanaticism and unmerited power ware alarm
ed. The American revolution had establised
principles in politics which had been only tht.v’
retitaU/ preached and upheld in England f>*r two
centuries. The monarch* with genius, who had
occupied the thrones of iSui ope, had disappear
ed within a fe w years of each other. Imbecile
men demosstrating in themselves the absurdity
of hereditary capacity, had succeeded them ; it
required but an incendiary and assassin like Pe
ter the hermit, to rouse them, and they found
him in Burke, a triple purchased traitor to the
Erinciples of virtti;, and an incendiary qualified
y his talents to earn the wages of his crimes and
set the world in arms.
Thi3 memorable epoch was marked by the ro
tival of the fanatical spirit of the crusades march
ing arm in arm with the spirit of worldly ava
rioe. The Billt and the Lrdgar were forced in
to a treaty offensive and defensive, io sustain
superstition and trample morals, philosophy, and
the rights of man.
Then it was that the slumbering spirit of chival
ry which had been invoked in the cause of the most
infamous debauchees, was found to arise, clad ni
terrible panoply; when tho spirit of resistance
■ruined a nation menaced with premeditated
partition, and openly proclaimed as destined to a
state more terrtblc than that of Jerusalem, Fer
sepolis, or Nineveh.
We all know the history, every man of 30
year*, has heard and been colernporary with e
vents the most stupendous in their form, pro
gross, 6c consequences, to be found in human an
nals. What a humiliating satire is the present
Mate of Europe, on the conspiracy Cormad at Pa
via in Italy, on the conferences nt Pilnitx in Prus
sia, on the successive coalitions of the powers of
E irope ! Look at the map of Europe in 1 "91 ; the
whole continent of Europe, from Calabria to Hi*
g*, combined against a single mtion ; and it is
so noto-ii ns, that w* h*v« now, after nofqtyte
10 years lapse, only to ask who mw rule* over
the winds European continent—and lisping in
fants ein tell, that it is the very nation wjiic.li *11
Europe had combined, in successive coalitions,
with tiyriads o1 mm k countless millions of mo
ney, to subdue. !
The «l )*e of this cstutrophe is to take place in
Spain. We find the subject fraught with mal
ts*-for thought. which supercedes tho;r cold
conjecture# winch wf sit down with the inten
* utter. W'e shall however pursue them in
another paper. At present we shall close tills i
essay with a few remarks of a more serious cha
racter, perfectly pertinent to the train of thought
into which we have fallen, from one of the most
intelligent Americans at this time in Europe.
*' There is an idea propagated in Europe by
those who have no resource but in their despair,
which it would be very unfortunate for our
country, if it were to find ita way to America,
and be adopted by any man of character for un
derstanding { because if a man has but a charac
ter for understanding, his errors as well as his
sound opinions too often go together into the
minds of others, who hare no opinions but such
as they lake up from others; this idea is, that
the present continental system ef Europe, is a
short lived and personal thing, and that having
come in with Bonaparte, it will go out with him,
and that rather than do any thing, it will be
better to wait the slow, but sate and silent re
medy of time. This idea in unsound from the
bottom. The present state of things in Europe
is now no mere the exclusive work ef Bona
parte, than it is of Charles, of Frederick, or
Francis, or Alexander, &c. The truth is that
the old rotten dynasties of Europe required cor
rection and amendment, they are undergoing
the operation, and if the work was finished to
morrow, their successors would have nothing
to fear. Have the people of Naples any desire
to rocal their old king ? Would Spain be better
if Charles or Ferdinand were given hack to
them ! Would Holland take back the Stadt
holder ? What' disposition is there now in
France to restore the Bourbons l How many
e^rds are now binding all those and many other
powers together f But how ridiculous to sit
down & wait for the decease of a man of forty,
whose constitution and habits are more likely to
carry him to 100 than short of it ; and all this
on the contingency that hia system may not sur
vive himself. Do not you be deceived. In the
long prospective of his mind, every thing likely
disturb this system will be foreseen and provi.
ded ior, and die when he may, it will not be aa
Alexander dying of a debauch, and leaving hia
kingdoms and conquests ta be fought for bv his
generals.”

# PiiLADBLniA,April 6.
The forgeries of last year by Folger, and in
the name of the Doolittles, and all the parade of
falahood in the English tery prints at New York,
appear now perfectly accounted for—more
than 1300 sail of vessels really American built,
and others British, Danish, and Flanders built,
have been up altogether, or bought even for
a time, to be employed in carrying on the smug
gling trade ot Great Britain; many of these,
m*t«* and seamen, have been aeizod in France
or carried in, their ships confiscated, and the
persons found on board, either imprisoned as
persons engaged in hostilities, or confined for
the legal penalties incurred by their own acts ;
many of these fellows, who had forsworn their
own country and prostituted its flag to the bate
purpose of England, claimed protection from the
American minister at Paris,. Several of them
were found to be absolute swindlers, no more
entitled to the benefit of any law or protection
of any legislative government, tban the banditti
who prowl on the highway, than pirates and rob
bers ; these wretches, frustrated in their
schemes of indiscriminate fraud, and of the nar
rowly escaping condign punishment, fly from
Europe to the country which they had disgraced ;
and here they find wretches of congenial spirit,
ready to employ forgery, and fraud, and falahood,
m degrading the American name. Such are the
Foliera, and others, whose libels occupied so
mauy columns of the British prints in Boston,
New-Tork, Philadelphia, and elsewhere.—
Time, which has unfolded and detested so many
frauds of the British and their agents, has now
laid these impositors naked ; and furnished us
with many new facts—it appears, that there are
persons, who at least were born in America,
seme ot whom have narrowly escaped the gibbet,
and some of whom have been placed in some
such placos of accommodation as it is usual to
put swindlers and pickpockets; and these have
been engaged In the diffusion of those various
lamentations and reproaches which have been la
vished concerning American prisoners in
France ; while some of those amiable complain
ants have been as busily profiting on the other
side in fitting out smuggling vessels, and priva
seducing* those American prisoners in
Trance to go on board these smugglers and *ri.
•finert. The Norfolk Ledger, with compas
sion trom the bowels upward, bewails the fate
of those unfortunate Americans who arejerced
ef Trench prieone to go on board ships en
gaged in smuggling and privateering—but these
moans and lamentations are understood; it is
well known where they come from, and per
haps we shall one day make them look as ridi
culous as the lamentations of Laban Folger and
his sympathetic counsellor, Coleman, of New
York.
