In Tna Haw.4l4 P Re, 4of Monday last we *toted
sonic circumstances, as reported by this Officer. re-
Tectitig the late affairs in Port moil. V,'e have to
add to them, that when General Ksi.l.vimati cure
up Colonel TaTteles horse to 7.oth Light Dra-
goons, Sir AUTUI.:II WELLISI.Mr, upon hearing of
it, presented General lietttatt•tt with one o/ his
Lest horses, which he sewed, as a piNa yr hw
esteem for Sir ANThVR's noble amid liberal cha-
racter. General KIXLIIRMAN, we are told, did not
say he would be in Cadiz in six weeks. We are die-
posed to believe of him, from the propriety of his
deportment on board the olfricaber, that be is in-
capable of boasting of an uncertain an event, if
even he had all pussilole reason to he confident it
could take place.

A crov. d of reflections sispco.t themselves to the
mind, on prreshost the speech mitnhuted to Busi A—
PARTS, when he convoked the Legislatise
However cailaved col subservwnt we know that
mock Senate to he, under the tyranny of a tierce
military despot, stun/moiled by the iustr ttttt cots of
his !power, and accompanied by all the demointra-
lions of irresistible su prtalacy, canna, guards, and

attendants ; yet we may restsonably doubt whether
such ailiselysure of his determinations could have
excited sentiments of appitibutiois in the minds of
Lis audience. There is, indeed, in the menace of
crowning Jus:en, nt Madrid, as well as in many
other passages of the harangue, something at once
Co imprudent and so violent, that the exit( titude of
the !vomit' and expressions has, we know, been
called iu optimum by many persons iu this country.
The Cardinal DE Itv.rz has truly observed, that

noiniced against Spain tend iu the smallest degree
to its accomplishment ? The Spaniards have ad-
vanced too tar to be now terrified by words, which
manifest toe the agitation and irritability of the
person uttering them, them they display his means
of putting them into execution. ',Ve have, how-
ever, re:Tat and repeated proofs, that this profound
and subtle Italian, whose faculties seem to embract.

Like JUNTEL in 77w Iliad, the fate of armies, k:iigii,

rious occasions, bow little, either its prosperity or

ebullitions of his anger, his pride, or his resent-
ment.

thiviutr, however, his own assurance that " he
will immediately put himself at the head of his ar-
mies iu Spain;' it is impossible to dount that such
is his intention. The condition, ostensibly annex-
ad to it, namely, the case of an unfavourable an-
swer from England, may be anticipated ; since we
may ask what answer can (;neat Britain return,
which NAPOLEON will deem satisfactory ? Does

even his own safety and the necessity of Ina posi-
tion, forbid it, to hope it. lie cannot stop in his
career, like Lolls the XPi th. He has avowed that
it is neceas•try to evertor'', to regenerate, or to re-
orgattise Europe, in order to secure and to pets-
petuate the clynaity of his own obscure &Indy. Fir
has already performed this. great political meta-
morphosis over two-thirds of the Continent. If
Spstin and Portugal, together with their immense
colonies, stisteiued by all the power, the finances,
and the fleets of Great Britain, can defy his arms,
and remain completely independent of his grasp,
lie is from that moment fallen. Austria and Tur-
key would then, sootier or later, break their fetter.,
and make common cause with such allies against
the Usurper. The contiguity, moreover, of the
Spanish provinces, to those of Entice; readers it
peculiarly dangerous to leave such tin inieut
subtitled. Austri t ■nd Erussia arc remote. The
'Muscovites cuter into the territorial compositian of

But, from St. Sebastian, from Figneras, and from

It is nevertheless difficult to conceive how he is

campaign, at this advanced season, in those pro-

the other hand. he will not go in person, to take
the command of his forces, in order to wage a de-
fensive war, to contrail for the possession am town,
or to dispute the passage of a rive', Madrid is his
°Neve; and the croon of Spain the p►ize for which
lie posers the Bidassou! lf, as se understand, he
left Itanilmuillet on the sOth, he will he at Bay-
onne by the ath or tith of Nos ember ; and at Vit-
toria by the ath or 9th. Let us !tannic him there,

hundred earl twenty thousand men, before the
middle of this month. The distatire from Vit.
tot ia, through Burgos, by the great road, to the
metropolis of Spain, exceeds 430 miles, through u
country already spoiled and &Tasted, where the
whole population is inimical. How is be to provide

troops might he allowed a pound of animal food

plied, that they wddltl most willingly furnish WI

that it was impossible to provide for 13,000 ,pen
more than two fresh meals a week. In Leon, it'd
in Astoria, where the sterility stud depopulationare
greater, even that supply cannot, it is believed, be
