We have been favoured with a sight of a letter from the
Spanish refugees to the Committee of the meeting for their
relief. It is a fair and manly acknowlegment of the obli-
gations under which they feel themselves to the generosity
of this country.
We have been informed that Government have taken
steps to provide for the immediate necessities of these un-
fortunate foreigners who have sought refuge on our ahores.
This, if true, is as it ought to be. IVhatever our opinion
may be of the Spanith Revolutionists, and the Spanish
cause, it is worthy of Great Britain to aid the friendless
and bouseless stranger, whatevo r be the cause of his dis-
trms ; and whether it arise from his patriotism or his lolly.

We very rarely indeed trouble ourselves with read-
ing the Sunday Papers, fur they almost uniformly con-
sist in little else than a dull repetition of the facts (real or
imaginary) collected during the previous week, by our
brethren of the daily press, and a stupid commentary
on these, which, like the frets, is stolen from the daily Filter
which agrees with them in politics, and disguised and weak
cued, so as to make it their own. But yesterday was a rainy
Sunday, and what will not a man do to drive away the
camel insepiable from that worst of evils that can befal an
inhabitant of the metropolis, We know not how our
neighbours overcame the tedium viler caused by such a
misfortune, but we, in utter despair, took to reading the
mountain of Sunday papers that—
" Lay like • load on the wearied eye"
upon our breakfast table, and wc propose to regale our
invaders with some of the grains of wheat we picked out
from this bushel of chaff.
one paper informs us, that " The Confederates of that
Alliance, blasphemously termed Holy,' are resolved to
make Europe one Tut prison-house, from which, by their
mandates, every freeman, AlO every thing bearing the
MALT of freedom, shall be lonely excluded." Then fol-
lows much abuse against them for so doing. Now, we can-
not we, for the souls of us, what cause of complaint free-
men can have against these worthy gentlemen, for jealously
excluding them from • prison-house. Ilad they put them
into a prison-house; and then jealously watched to prevent
their escape, then, inde.ll, they would have had some rea-
soul to grumble. IVe ran only we, in the measure of shut-
ting up the Continent against certain individuals, a piece
of extreme folly in making people of consequence in the
other parts of Europe, who arc of none in their own coun-
try, and by this means obtaining for them, all that they
want,—ootoriely.
Further on we find, under the appaling title of " Atro-
cities of the Preventive Service," that in the neighbour-
hood of Hastings there has been—
" a voice of weeping heard, and loud lament"
for the fate of ecven smugglers, one of whom was shot in
the act of running contraband goods, and the other six, to
avoid the lire, took refuge in the water " by plunging into
a canal wh emu nded them" (what can the people of
Stnewx mean by digging circular canals), which had the
desired effect, for they saved themselves from being slot
by being drowned. A Coroner's Inquest sat on the body,
and returned a verdict of "juatifiable homicide."
What of all this? "We have not es yet learned whether
the Magistrates have cognized the hilly man conduct of the
preventive men." We don't exactly know the meaning of
'the verb So euirni;:e ; but if it means to inquire into, the
Coroner, with a Jury, has a!ready, as in duty bound,
done so; a hotly of men, on their oaths, have given their
opinion. after full inquiry in open Court; and the Magis-
trates have no more to do with the matter than the Holy

Every one who has ever lived on the coast of the chan-
nel knows what a set of desperate ruffians these smugglers
arc—that many of the preventive service have been
barbarously murdered by them—that they always go
armed, and in much greater numbers than the coast
guard—that Ow whole of the inhabitants are con-
nected with them, and will rise at their whistle—
and vit, forsooth, the sympathy of maudlin philanthro-
pists is to be called forth, to mourn over and avenge
the death of a gang of unprincipled desperadoes, killed in
the act of robbing the public. We ran explain all this in
a very few words: there exists a vile set in this country
whose only oljoet is to gain popularity with the rabble, by
pandering to their worst passions ; and as no means is so
rertain of producing this end as abusing their betters, it
becomes their interest to ding dirt and heap odium on
every one connected with the Ex: cutive Government, from
the l's Minister to the ' lshipman of a preventive
!guard. We only mention the circumstance of such an
!attack being made, to expose it as cant and humbug ; and
we abstain from naming the paper in which it appeared,
only becausr a war with it could hut involve us in a
conteAt which, whether we were right or wrong, could not
redound to our credit.
