tykgobld have to reform his plans relative to the
acqttnreutent, or conquest of Spain, which he alrea
dy thought realized* Indeed, we have observed,
that, far from making the Peninsula his own, as he
promised himself,'he has lost roqre than 266,000
men, without obtaining any piher advantage than,
that of possessing Madrid, and some fortified place?
wtliich were delivered in a. perfidious manner: pos
sessions which were easily lost. , Notwithstanding
this, and all the posterior progressions of our, ar
mies, uniilpowj it appears, that there is a (native
of snather nature to cause the question to be re-pip*
diced with more spirit and attention. Against all
our hopes Austria signed a pt;arc with France, and
we again return to ask, IVhttkcr we hittie to Hupe hr
Fear? The answer to many may appear diilicult,
but, to us, it is easy.. Perhaps there will be ho ohe
who will not say but that we hats fo tear. We dia
metrically oppose this asseitidn. When we had no
armies, nor no plans formally organized to wage
war with Napoleon and his treops, who ih great
numbers already occupied our land, each of our
provinces declared wasiar themselves, ahd in reali
ty we vanquished the*; or the triumphs of Valen
cia, Zaragosa, Del Bruch, and Beylen,' are not
true.
Fur mote than a rear, until the declaration, of
7 « oiiu miaviid, we um nui /car ;
We dfd not then fely either upon Austria or the
Northern forces to rescue our liberties.
At this period our slavery was not verified: then
on this side of ,the question (whirls is the greatest
evil) we *4re nothing to fear. Btitflef us suppose,
that by this new peac#Hb«y will march into Spain,
(which is a political errer) all lb* forces which Ni
polecft has in Austria, tcfia/ftiigrett wtU the# matte?
Without enumerating infr regular armfee, we have
at the present limp a multitude ijf patriotirk par
ties, which in cr-oy direction diminish the forces of
the Tyrant, and who do hot permit.him to call him
self master ot the land, urbwh ha.transitorily occu
pies. Will he triumph over otirliberty } Assuredly
not. Then the dying flame of pxtriotispi will burn
afresh, and N ipoleon »$ill find, that herarinot count
with out single town, ft will b* then, that the dis
position of the government which has betn rnnti
^red I iiherto as slow, shuH progre»\ ic the aame
extraordinary manner, as was seen ip the fiist out
srt oi the revolution. The wbol| reurttiy risen
EN MASSE, .eh all make an opposition truly irre
sistible ; in default,^.muskutf, (oh that it had al
rcidy jeer, riom) there.shall he s-en Multi (tides .of
eouiptniea armed with pikes, who will rush on the
enemy, 4ftiid»'t their muskets if they h*d only
slings'slid stone? (which is easy te establish) the ef
fects woplo-be seen.
But let us pta>-e ourselves in (he last extreme,
that is, that,nothing of this is put in execution,
Have we lien to hope or fear? Still we say we have
no rouson to fear tile adverse armies, knowing that
they cvnnm. coirquer, whilst the government' d«n t
die away, nr the tiame ol patriotism, which burn in
the hrart of all the country, shall not he extin
guished. They try to procure the means of Subsist
ence to carry on tlie enniywt. Rut the people will
not gi ve it to them ; on the contrary, they are, op
posed to every thing that may admit of their domi
nion—And how cafli they conquer? Triumph (10
them) is very difficult in such eircomstHrfires. We
are certain they cannot conquer ns. But, hate'ter
nothing to Hope? Mlx?U VERY MUCH, it we
consider our situation. U'e ought to hopet thet the
Spanish people, who babe themselves taken the
rtlbst active interest in their own ^(fefertfe, will
augment their means in proportion to the Bum
hers of enemy who will oppose them,—~
It e ought to hope, that the government assisting
them, will n..t only protect, succour and favour
thpiri. hut thrit it toitl atinmant iKnie •s>mi.. «k..
being placed at the entrance of thegrdift'provinies,
shall stop the career of ih* invaders, the servile
slaves of the tyrant. We hire itfhope, that the en
listments will he cheerfully rotHplied with, and that
Tor the advancement of the. established manufacto
ries and the succours of the allies, « mullitnde of
Spaniards will arm themselves, that by adgmeniing
the armies they will destroy those of the tyrant.—
/Fe /lure to tope, that both |he government, as well
at iudividu;:!h, seeing theft country in such immi
nent danger, will, endeavour strenuously tqjcrieem
it, and secufe thejtystein of our liberty. Opinions
will waver a little* on things of minor importance,
but they will think dike as to the expulsion of the
enemy. Then no otherpjbjjcfwitt'exist hut war,
and the administration of justice in th* interior.—
Under the two hemispheres cannot perish the poli
ties) machine of nur actual establishment; pnd al
though Bnonapaite should transform himself into a
ttKYtb! he eannot obtain our conquest, which Jie
s« mm-h pants for and longs after. We ought to
hope all thit, because both the Junta and the people
propose it, and when our whole means ore put into
txecu()|fb; there is not, nor cannot, b* any force
that caij resift us. If the Tyrolese, who ere infi
nitely weaker than us, do so oincii to oppose the
tyrant,(and the effect* of whirK be has severely felt,)
4Vhat cannot we JWfcdwhat ought we not to, do 1"—
Who can do triuflpnd have greater assistance 1 In
truth, we have every thing to hope aifd nothing to'
fear. This coofhuuds the vile Corsican, who ends*
voors tifkprorure mesas to tubdne ns. But he
knows our power, and fears it. Will we defer pul
t'*fNp mlpructice f He knows the contrary. He
knowljthat if eben our govern me otshould be op
