At long ae'the eﬀects of this dntttrdiy im

" But when.- us in the case of Spain, our

tht: devustation ol property in'Spain,and the
heruic eﬀorts osthe Spanittrds to defend it,
with indiﬀerence ; when we can ctunt'emplate
the suhjugation of that country by a foreign
power, and the exertion: of the inhabitants
to have : government of their own, as mat
ters in which we have no concern whatever;
when we can bear of the buming of the
wheat fieldmnd the murdering cf-the sarm
ers. the pillaging osthe churches, and the
tortures of the clergymen, on one hand, and
the boas'ed impicty, and riowus luxury and
