At length the Corsica► Despot, who holds the
Continent in subjection, and who, in every state
where his influence estends, applies his principal

care to retain in his fetters the human mind, has

thought it isdispensalde to deal out some informa-
tion to his 'laves, of the passing events in Spiin.
But, in making this reluctant communication to
them, he has found it necessary to involve the

whole relation in studied atnbiguity, with a view
to conceal sr to disguise the truth. So obviously
matured is this remark, after perusing the accoants
coatained iu the papers just received from France
er Holland ; that, if we have hitherto been warmly
impressed with a conviction of the ultimate success
of the Patriot., we 44d that sentiment infinitely
strengthened slum the publications in question.—
Let those who Ooldit or the solidity or justice of
our remark, compare the farrago of intelligence
contained in the Atilt! !fah the Lower Elbe, with
the triumphal Bello* of the Jlawitear. issued
with the regularitr aid .proetaioo of rains* guns,
whim BONAPARTI ennui Austria and Prusia.—
Then, it was his iatisiiilySind his intention to he
clear, brief, and lucil fer he had oely to relate
hill advantages. No soon could mistake, or could
aoqlpt, the results of the battle of Austerlitz, or of
the 'victory at Auerstadt. The places, and the
palaces, five whence the Bulletins were dated,
spoke aufaciewily to every reader. Arow,hedoes not
even venture to employ and to degrade the Moniker.
by making it the vehicle of misrepresentations and

falsehoods. which be is well aware that a very short
time will detect; of which the impression. as he
knows, can only be erased by speedy success.
It is, however, much to extort at length from the
Emperor of the Fasscn and King of ITALT. that
his Royal Brother, Don JOSEPH, King of Spain
and the Indies, has to contend with his rebel sub-
jects, in various and in widely &stout provinces of
his new dominions. We read of no such rebellious
and misguided " wretches," no such such stub-
born " felons," who ventured to take up arms on
the Danube, in 1605, to defend the Emper of ♦cs-

TRIA. Nous such evcr "hewed themselves in 1806

or in 1807, daring eight months, either iu Bran-
denburgh, or in Silesia, or in Prussia. A. we have
often remarked, he there vanquished armies and
Kings.• Here he is contending with sus Widignaut
people. He already appreciates the wide differ-
ence between the attack of a feeble Government,
unsupported by its subjects, and thesinvasion of a
countrywsimpli in its manners. attached to its Mo-
narchs, zealous for its religion, and animated with
abhorrence of the hypocritical ruffian whose itma-.
tiable ambition considers the globe as a theatre too
small for his crimes and his outrages. Every arti-
cle, however darkly and ambiginnisly worded, lets
out the fatal secret, that victory no longer attends
on him beyond the Pyrenees.
Though the operations of almost all the Gene-
rale serving in different parts of Spain ■re men-
booed, and though it is affected to detail the ad-
vantages or success which has attended the French
arms on the Guadalquivir, on the Ebro, in the en-
virons of Valladolid ; yet none of tlit-,e distinct
expeditions are conducted to any conclusion. Du-
parr is left at Cordova. without any allii:don to his
menaced advance towards; Seville, or to his actual
retreat to Annular. The scene suddenly shifts
from Valladolid to Cordova, and from Andalusia
is Arragon, without any apparent connection or
reason. The actions at Tudela, in Navarre, and
at Alagon, oq the Ebro, as well as in the vicinity
of Saragossa, are then related ; and Larrayar is
stated to have in all of them defeated or dispersed
the rebels. Men so hardened and so insensible to
the benefits preparal for them by the two brothels
of &jaccio, and by the new Constitution fabricated
at Bayonue, which is to diffnse felicity over
every portion of the Spanish Monarchy, certainly
merited no pardon. The obdurate Fiticens of Sa-
ragossannquestionably should have been treated by
Laessesue as those of Msdftid were by JOACHIM,
Duke of Berg. And it is &Stith to conceive any
reason, except oue.why they were not, Namely, that,
in the latter case, Al War caster of Madrid ;
