1.()NOON.
NVEDIS.F.tiI)AY. Jolt &

Wi. stated, last week, that Miuisters had resolved
to open 'irect iiitturourse with Spain.—The
Ga:erie of last 'sight: contains an Or,ler to that
itioni the must Rand and encouraging
terms—Ali hostilities with Spam have ceaseil, the
ham hails. of. all her ports, not miller the controul
of b ranee, is raisml, and a free trade established
between every port of Spain and her colonies,
adverse to France, upou the footing of the most
&vowed nation.—AH this is wise, liberal, and
politic, Lot it at the some time skews the avidity
of Nliiiisters to open a trade, whit li may com-
pensate, in some ileAree, for that which they cut
off by their ill-advised and impolitic Orders of
Corawil.

A Gotterilaisrgh s:nil ;strived yesterday, with
letter* slid paperer to the Sir Jolts Mime':

hourly e%pected, relav a of lioraess having be cu pro-
vided for hi. we. We hope that this is the last
time we ahall have to repeat that the expedition
still remained in t:otteirburgls torahs. Orders were
tecrieed far the Alters to repair immediately on
board their respective shit*; mid althouiili their
rt.:gine:Ail one not known, it was understood that
it ties iiu lily a:Med.—Private lettera anat., that Sir
Jon ^ll soot: Was engaged at Stockholm in a ne-
gouissticis ith the Itossisin Court, us concert aids

most happy moth, particularly at a moment when

seed oil in prepo.tion. •

If any• Cool c•otilit augment the satisfaction
%kil the late event* in Spain hate produced is
the wind of every Aran to whore the righto of ho.
'utility arc deur, it i. the perusal of that paper,
polsliehert by order of the •• Supreme Junta." coo.
taiuing the 04 precautions," as they are there de-
nousiusted, 64 proper to be observed throughout
the Provinces of Spain." While we exult in the pa-'
triotic insurrectiou or the inhabitants at that cootie.'
try against BONAPARTti, we are not the less sensi-
ble or the vast superiority which he possesses over
acs iiiiciplined people, however brave, ardent, or
determined. We know, and the Continent, from
one extremity to the other, has deeply felt the pro-
digious effect. of his military talents, di.eipline,
and tactics ; before which the arinies of Austria, of
Prussia, sod of Bauchi, hats anccessively disap-
peared. Put nothing ran so strongly prove the
intimate knowledge which the Spaniel. Governraent
poacesses of their own inferiority, as well us of NA-
ItOLecii.l6 xdiantages in ewe field, as the regulations
or precautions which they eiljnin their adherents
-to follow. We venture to a•.ert, that it they are
as punctually obeyed as they are well eoneeived,
the Spitainfis. whivever defeats may attend their
first attempts to repel the 'evader, yet aid he ill-
timately eueee.sfid. Ever; article of those iujunc-
lions displays that calm, het intrepid stint, that
steady and passive irourmw. regulated by prudence,
which is so peculiarly ta:erilated to oppose the
firs and impetuous character of the French. For,
on the French, and ant on the forrigu levies reluc-
tantly torn from their homes, atoll compelled to
fight meter his standard, must the Coreicam alto-
gether rely fur aufecty and for victory. Distrust,
desertion, and dismay, will follow ou the elie.itcst
disaster that may attend his arms. Even provisions
and icitelhAeuce, two articles so indispeuenliie to
sneers., will be obtained with die utmost difficulty
iu •jp. l i 11l under the present circumstances. IVhen
we thorow4illy weigh these facts, aad when we can.
eider the tre.istanee of every kind which (.relit Bri-
tain ran extend to the Spaniards, we may milli-
' dently hope that Nattottott, howevet vietotihn;
has hitherto been, may, ere imig, experience, not
only the mutahility of fortnne, in common
other Comptemrs; hut may eventually pay the just
of his climes, his violence, and his enormities.

In addition to that earl• and correct inteiligence
of public Events. which it is our find duty and
°lnert to present to our readers, we cannot help
eialeaeouritar to impress on their 1111Ittib the con-
vietion which we strongly feel in our OW.I, malady,
that in the crimes with which NAPOLtON has
staime•l himself (luring the progress of his
(ions attempt to Wave the Spanish Crown on his
brother's head, tie Corsican Ltuperur has, unitt-
twdinnally, struck a vital blow at the root of his
own intetre greatness. We will not veottire to
sett, that if 14r hit.l attacked the Pi assiiiii/ or Aug-
trial' Monarchies, Ay the mune !arse and trc•ucherons

of tlinte ye pe:eire countr7ii. But we are fully o;
opinion, that having roused the Spanish people to
senor of then- awn power, and of hit tyranny, he
will tint!, that neither discipline, nor nunthenm, nor
superior tacties, can reduce Spain Collie condition
of Holland, Germany, and Italy.
If it be permitted to reason on the future, from
the experience of the past, the history of Spain
proves, that at no period of else has that eaten-
sire peninsula been wholly subjected by a foreign
power, since its long and difficultly achieved reduc-
tion under the Roman Republic. Though the
Moors, during time middle ages, over-rats and este.
blivbed themselves in the Southerm as well AS ma
some of the central province*, yet they were always
expelled, or driven bat k; as often as they attempted
to penetrate beyoud Castile, towards the maritime
pratnives of the North. In the eighth centory,
ender Pet. %MIN ; a hero, whose explains, like Those:
of ARTHUR with us, are mingled with fiction and
romaimce ; us well as in the eleventh century, by
the valour nod ability of Itansicua, better known
from CoawelLte's celebrated dramatic piece of
1.4 Cid ; the Moors weme driven out of Asturias
Galliehs, and Leon. Their complete expulsion
fromn every part of Spain was reserved fur the reign
of Fcaotx•xn and Isantl.r.• ; after which period,
for more than a hundred years, time Spanish Mo-
uareimy remained the most formidable, rid., stud
1 powerfelsof any in Europe. But the embition of
Pests' the *CON Dv aided by. hie tyrr.rs my and b:-
gotry, havieg sopped the foundations of the great-
'muss of Spain, the weakness awl in tim:6l4y of el.:.
successors emlipteted the downfall of Its glory.
Yet, even in ruin, -assailed by anarchy. citi.
war, and bankruptcy, Iti.lioe; invaded by rot tegi.
enemies, and ebviudoneml to their own usuummal
strength, the Spaniards, precisely a hundred years
ago, maaiataiarki their `Sovereign ou his throne, and
triumphed over the vast ullian...e formed to impose
upset thums a King. The English t• ice led the
Archduke CamaLes to Mad rid, multi« ice proclaim-
, ed biro Sovereign. Lot. ts tl.e Focaettsern, unable
to assist his grandson, resigned him to his lute. In
that desperate emergency, without any sup' eft ex-
cept in the loyalty, aCeetion. and ful;lity, of
time Castilians, PHILIP the Funs recovered his
Crown, LWI maintained himself ou the Throne.—
And shall we doubt, that, when defending their in-
dependence against a fercr.:i•ue Usurper, covered
with crimes and opprobrium, the Spaniards will
fail to exert the purse constancy, and, with the same
eventual success, which only a part of the nation
nwifested a century agm?

. Those who hest know the real transactions at-
tending thetwo mm1,1%10'0)1.170 and 1794, when
the revolutionary armies attempted to penetrate
into fl sray and Navarre, can attest how little the
Frenets hurl to boaat of in tho-e invasions of the
Sosithit ten itoty. They found more impedi-
ments to their progre-s, before they had advent-'it
saventy nii!es beyo.id the French frantic's, than
they have since experienced in marching from tile
, banks of the Rhine tothowe of the Vistula and t!ic
Niemen. Nothing, encept the incapacity of the
Spanish Government, which neither knew how to,
call out the energies of the notion, nor how to con-
duct the operations of the war, could hate enabled
Roost et xattassual hit succewors to extricate them-
selves film.' that niost perilous dilemma.
.It is from Spain, far inure than from any other
ip;arter, that France, Bud, above all, that the present
USurper, is au•snikblr. He knows that secret per-
fectly. The Rhine, and the garrisons stationed
along its banks, protect the Eastern frontier. All
the fortresses, as well &iodic passes of the Alps, ale
in possession of N rut.ana ; hat, from Cato onia,
from (I apiiscon, or from Navarre, au army may
reach Bayonne, or Perpignan, or Pan, in th?
course of a few days. There are neither rivers 'lry
garrisons to impede their march. The Gave unit
the Aiinur ore not rivers; they are little more
than torrents. Da) mine is a place of no strength ;
nor is the citadel capable of resistance for any
time. Perpignan, though in itself strongly for-
tified, hail been long neglected. if ever the Sim-
ulants oeist utile to cross the Pyrenees into Gas-
cony, there is nothing to stop them from reaching-
Boarilemix or Toulou.e, except a superior and a
victorious army.

That such* happy reverse of tiiinevabouhl ever
take place, we are, how,:ver, as far from expectieg.
a. from anticipating. But we believe that Spain.
even wi II her own power* alone, N adequate to
maii.taia a long, anil.perisepa, a bnccessful struggle,
