i" 'The Spanish Gawa—lt is not unusual,
nys :: late traveller in Spain, for the Span
tsh enthusiasts to make ase of the following
argqment respecting the d-:stiny of their
tountry: " That the 'rARDLNEssis of their
proceedings against the French nﬀords no
ground for dsi-spondence, since their ances
tors took 300 ctv-sifars to overcome the Moors,
andyct got effectuatly ridctzs them at last."
When such doctrine is at this day general
ssictv beheved in Spain, we cannot be astonishsi
ed, that the Spaniards have been '\ anquish
ed so easily; but an: rather surprised that
they hawk not long before been compietcly
mbdoed. lsthe Spanish pea'Santr'y are Ureivc
and robust—hate the French most mortal
ly—and possess a country difficult to over
run, stiliosstrong PQSSCS and defiles, it is
most ssiirprisii.g, that out of twelve millions'
olinhahitants, they have ncv'cr had more:
than one hundred and twenty thousand men
in arms, and that too at the very beginning
