may not be unworthy of repnblication :

TIIE SIIIIIDFANCE Of THE STATEMENT OF TUE
TYRO!. DEPUTIES...

However raised apparently above human controul,
and amenable to no human tribunal, may be Na-
roLcurt; let us not do so much injustice to our
fellow-men, even to those of France, who, after
passing through the flames of revolutionary an-
archy, are now trampled under the feet of a fierce
and subtle foreigner; as to *oppose that this paper
can he perused with dry eyes, eve. at Malmarson,
or in the Thuilleries ! We trust that every means
will be used, and every exertion made. if not by
our imbecile Ministers, yet by the means of that
potent 'mem, the Press, to give it circulation on
the continent. We may be assured that the tyrant
dread. the engine to which we allude, more than
he fear. Lord W Lt.; uTo , or Lord CrtATIIASI.
LO this hour of guilty triu'urpla, while he ii con-
structing *rebel to commemorate his exploits on
the Danube, and about to astonish Paris, with the
display of CONSTANTINE'S brazen horses, trans-
ported from Venice to the Louvre; this exposition
will, like the writing upon the wall iu the palace of
BELSHAZZAR, electrify and appal the Usurper.
From the desert solitudes, and from among the
unburied remains of those Tyrolese, whom he has
slaughtered or massacred, may arise an uvenging
spirit, whiclivhe can neither coerce nor extinguish.
Throughout every provioce of the Spanish penin-
sula, it ought to be disseminated in the language of
the country. If six hundred thousand mountain.
errs, including iu that number veto the women,
the aged, and the children of both sexes, have not
hesitated to resist the French ; if so small a popu-
lation, when compared with the Spetwah Monarchy,
have not only arrested, but repulsed, and defeated
his armies; whey should we despair of his being
yet repelled in Andalusia, or in Catalonia?
But, ...vim admitting that Siain should fall, as,
we confess, we think it probably must ; though
Ferrol, and Vigo, and Lisbon, and Cadiz, and Car-
thogena, were all French, rad consequently all the
shores of Europe, limn Corfu and Trieste, round to
Rip andCroustadt, were subjected. by occupation,
or by intimidation, to NAPOLEON ; let us not
abandon the sacred cause of the Tyrolean'', so long
a:. they continue to resist! A tract of mountains,
containing within its circuit, one lurndred and fifty
thousand sharp-shpoure, exasperated by injuries, M-
ore,' to hunger, thirst, and the rigours of winter,
cannot easily he vanquished. In fact, the Coreican
deals in other machinery than the sword. It is by cor-
ruption, by menaces, by treachery and intrigue, by
all the flagitious arts and practices which he put into
action at Bayonne, and at Tilsit, that he overcomes
resistance. These poisoned weapons are happily ill
adapted to the moral atmosphere of the Tyrol.—
's Reared op and happy in.poverSy, religious, vir-
tuous from habit, utter strangers to luxury, prefer.
ring their barren mountains to the most fruitful
soils ;" they are made of the stuff, which, in every
age, has stopped the sanguinary career of tyranny.
The Voralbergers, who inhatit the same Alpine pre-
cipices, are animated with similar feelings. Nor
can we doubt, alter the relation given us of the mys-
terious standard, lately discovered in the canton of
Lucent, inscribed with enigmatical characters or
emblems, that tile flame, though suppressed or
stifled, yet exists among all the Switzer and Orison
Leagues. Who will venture to say, by *hat weak
agents, Providence may chain the Imperial Tiger
that now desolates the globe ?—They have already
driven out LE FCBRE, BESSIERIES, MACDONALD,
Mace, FEILION, WEIDE. LEROY. and a crowd
of other French, or Bavarian Generals. They
neither deprecate, nor dread, Boo•P•RTL'S power,
or his rage. Trey abhor the Bavarian tyranny ;
and venture to declare, by the mouths of their
agents and deputies in this capital, that 1, They
are firmly resolved either to conquer, or to die."
Ps o f 'the cease of freedom and of Ewer, is
not extinct, while such a people snrvive, and
continue to combat ! Let us aid them with our
pen, and with our parse. if the incapacity of our
Government has neglected the moment to have
sustained them by our forces! lir t74t, the Ladies
of this country, with the famous gAALAII. Duclact.s
of Marlborough, at their head, when the Adminis-
tration of that period refused to succour the House
of AUSTRIA against France, opened, and tilled, a
donation, of very considerable magnitude, fur
MARIA TMENESA. They remitted, as well as
raised, the money ; which greatly enabled that
magnanimous Princess to resist the enemies by
whom she was so near being overpowered. And
shall we not do for the Tyrolese, in lima, as much
as the women of England did for the Queen of
Hursuaitsr seventy years ago? We cannot believe,
that a grist people will ever he so wanting to hu-
