yet, no man who has reflected on the *Millen!

utiou of the whole Peninsula, at no diataut 0664:
of time. Every day, and every arrival froott4t
part of &trite, Memoirs our astonishment, , Ani
OM with admiration, at the. display of constancy,
loyalty, piety, and patriotism, allie' the mitiel-s of
Spain have manifested, wader eireunistalices the
most discouraging. Already it is evident flint the.
moral operation of the victories of Cssvasos and
of Pa tveox have penetrated, iu detiaioce of ithe
prohibitions or the melowes of the Tymut, over
the interior of his doininiems. We trii:e it iptlle
silence of the Ifonitestr, in the reluctant liar
avowals of the resistance experienced iii voodoos
parts of Spain, torn from' the Newspapers of Hob..
hind and it iermany, its the insurrections or itouttlsort
&nation that has taken place on the Ell* soil the
Rhine, relative to the new couseriptieos; lastly, in
the renewed commercial intercourse with flollliod
an intercourse directly subversive of the Byrliii
Decree, issued in the plenitude: of his power, alien
he considered Europe at his fia.t. We doubt
that, accustomed as he has been for several yours to
uninterrupted success, and to the must implicit
submission to hit orders; yet, that his late defeats
mid disgraces on the Ebro, to',ther with the capis.
tulation of Andeljar, and the surrender of Repents',
at Cadiz, will have recalled him to sentinieuito of
moderatimi. Like Snvvotto he will 11011-cobteal,
hiinaelf with " the pound of fls.sli." Best, like
Sulitoca, we trust that he will meet with " right.
eous judgment."
That he already aces, and repents of' his error,
in attempting, by the most flagitious perfidy, vio-
lence, mid rapacity, to seize on the Crown of S./esin,
we'd° not elould. That he may, witli lianceino
tamed bulatiity, or arstemucesi of the tritest tie-
sceiptioa, endeavour to varioish over his criminal
proceedings; and that the assembly• of revoloo-ii
tiotary sls.es, dcanuoinated a Senate, way, by his
littiri4ekt inst.,..dion, address their Alio/ter to recall his
legions from a country where they can no longer
maintain themselves, is highly probable. But thew
professions or artifices, adapted by a beaten Usurp-
or, in order to cover his ignominy, and conceal his
distress, can no longer impose even upon the Pa-
risians. In Holland, in Cernmany, sod iu Italy,
they will lie received with conteMpt. New hu-
miliations, and flesh disgraces, await the Corsican
Fle,spot. In the North, the escape of nine thou-
sand, Spaniards, imprisoned in 'Danish Talmo', will
aleckrify the Daises, who cannot avoid feelam the
opprohrimis state of shame, as *ell iis of infoony,
inft)ahich the unworthy policy of their Covens-
cuiiit has plunged the nation. In the West, the
victories of the English over Jmcor.. and Ala . ap-
proaching imaucipatiou of Portugal, will diffnse
discontent among his conscripts, From Constan-
tinople, from Stutgurd, from Vienna, from Ko-
nigsberg, and from Naples, subject of appreleals
sion, or of' alarm, will hourly arise to irritate his•
fiery temper, to agitate his nsiutl, anti to 111.trart
his Councils. The Kings, whom in lois insolemec
and prestunputous infatuation he has created ; the
Jostens, the Louts, the Jeaowss, and the Jo-
ACHtMS, can only increase hisdifficulties, without
augnisaitiog his strengths or his resources. Sock is
the actual state of a man, alio, only four tuniitlos
ago, stood out the highest elevation of oulitarypower
to which any individual has attained bince the ex-
tinction of the Roman Empire.
That. oat of the present temporary subversion of
order and government in Spain, such a Constitu-
tion will arise as may guarantee the motion from a
repetition of those calamities whirl' they have suf-
fered ilader an inefficient despotism, we have never
doubted. But we mast not presume to dictate on
such a subject, nor to make our eoneeptions of
monarchical authority a model for their imitation.
Every approximation to the peopl.: with whom we
have made a common Cause against the common
invader, must uecessarily be wise and jorli:lious.—
Above all, to open those boundless cluenni Is of
commercial harmonise which hare been so tong
closed against us, on the part of Spain, as vim!: as

pediments which war or necessity have induced the

ought to hare swayed him, joined with Louts the

family compact" superseded all the natural ties
that connect the Spanish and the British nations.
CHARM:S the IVtli, still weaker, prostituted the ho-
nour, and exhausted the naval strength, the ar-
mies, and the treasures of Spain, to gratify the
rancour, the ambition, and the vengeance of an
implaettlile, as well us a perfidious usurper. But
the Peetiod of these mutual misfortunes is hasten-
ing, and we shall owe to the crimes Of the Corsisetui
Tyrant their termination. Such are the means by
which Providence out of evil origiiiiites good, and out
of ;anarchy produces order, freedom, and felicity.

states; that the ,Senate at Paris have present-
ed an Address to tORAPARTE, imploring him
to withdraw his armies filiza Spain and Portugal.
As the people of those countries have not sr eta

amiable SovVreign whom, in his wisdom, he re-
"commends, they request Ilia MAJRSTY to leave

of the letter opplatills the advice of the
nate, adding, that it would be very judicious
in the French Goternment to withdraw its troops
if the Slumlords would have it so. If this stew--
meat be founded in fact, we may soon expect to v•-c

But this trick will not avail. The gists of the
