Addressed to the .Cpanish Nation h,/ the Provincial Junta of
the Kingdomof Gallicia, of which is President the Marsha!'
de Camp Don Juan Die: Pother, General Commandant

of the Inferior of the Kingdom:—
Spaniards !—After six years of glorious and obstinate
struggle to support the independence of the nation and
its honour, which was outraged in the person of its chief;
after immense sacrifices, loss of property, and tl:e shedding
of so much Spanish blood, we have chased the enemy who
sought to subjugate us, we have driven him from our soil,
and obtained the re-establishment of the throne of our Mo-
narch ; we have recovered and maintained the splendour of
the nation; we have made our name respected. and secured
our independence. the first object of every people that
♦alues its dignity, and desires to preserve and transmit it
unsullied to posterity.' Not contented with defending, at
the hazard of our lives, the land of our birth, we sought
to secure its prosperity fur the future by solid institutions,
re-establish our ancient rights, !emote the obstacles which
impede and obstruct the fountains of public wea!th, and
secure to all classes of the State the security of their persons
anti property, and the free exercise of their industry and
their talents.

While our valiant warriors were giving to the world
bright examples of courage and constancy, our legislators
assembled in the Cortes with full powers, delegated by
ourselves, deliberating on the reforms which the situation of
the state re•qui+ed; had wisely laid the foundations of our
felicity, by uniting in one constitution our ancient rights
and under foot in the lapse

ON PUBLIC REVENUE.

TO ARCHITECTUS.
As to many men becoming builders, and forgetting the
means necessary to the completion of their works, it is a
truism, and cannot be denied. As to my not clearly
comprehending the f►nanciering arrangement of the Go-
vernment, this perhaps is true, and my situation is the
Siine as many others, inasmuch as it is beyond compre-
hension.—llence the tax on new papers. I would call
your attention to the fact, that there are two sorts of re-
venue—a real and productive—an imaginary and unpro-
ductive one. And I am confide►►t that our present mode
of collecting taxes is of the latter nature, thereby proving
the correctness of Swift's assertion, that in finance two
and two do not always make four.
However, I am apprehensive I may retort the charge
of error, by stating, that you are wrong in describing the
primary object of revenue as the borrowing a principal
sum of money for public purposes, upon which, in the •
shape of interest, rests an heavy annual charge. This, I
grant, is the practice of onr revenue folks, but, that it is
either a correct or beneficial principle I deny.
The primary, and, indeed, the sole object of revenue,
should be the raising a sum sufficiently large to pay our
expenses within the year. If this principle were attended
to, the capital of the country would not be overloaded
vvith exorbitant loans, and thus be absorbed in the funds,
to the injury of the mercantile, manufacturing, and agri-
cultural interests—in all of which it would confer beneits
en many classes of the community. In the funds, com-
parativel►y speaking, only on one.
Mr. Pitt, aware of the results arising from borrowing,
endeavoured, as far as he was able, to view revenue not
as means of borrowing a principal from the public at large,
hut as that of raising all the supplies -within the year
without borrowing.
To establish this admirable principle and useful prac-
tice, lie laid the tax on propeity—the only tax on the
true principle of obtaining revenue, namely, that of leav-
ing capital unfettered, until the profits are completed, and
its fruits ready to be gathered.
However, to return to the subject. I am ignorant of
the plan in agitation as to the Circus ; but, from what
you develope of it, I am apprehensive it would not be, in
the present scarcity of money, productive of much benefit.
The bonus would, I am apprehensive, turn out a malus.
You are good enough to say that a communication of
ideas might tend to our mutual improvement. Of this,
I cannot have a doubt, if we can agree on a basis. Mine
is as much to relieve the commercial as the building capi-
tal, from injudicious restriction. I am supported by the
opinion of Sir R. Walpole, as exhibited in his celebrated
Excise scheme, which according to Adam Smith, was in-

THE STATES OP TVIRTEMBERG.

A German Paper has published the copy of an Address
. from the States of the Kingdom of NV irtembc rg to the Minis-
lets of GI eat Britain, Ilanover, Prussia, and Denmark, calling
upon these powers as guarantees of the Constitution of Wir-
temberg, for their support in restoring that Constitution to
he situation in which it stood before the changes introduced
into it by Bonapatte's system.--The Address, which is of
west length, refers for the foundation of the claim of the
• States to Conventions existing for three centuries between
the l'.overeigns and the people of Wittenberg. It states that
the present King, upon his accession, recognised the whole of
these Conventions. Having afterwards ceded Montbeillard
to France, be receives important indemnifications,an increase
of territory and the Royal dignity. To this dignity he united
a total abolition of the Cnnstitution; the dissolution of all re-
reesentation, and an absolute Government. The people,
however, continued to hope that the circumstances. which
...deprived them of their rights would be but temporary, and
at last had the prospect of seeing their hopes realised by the
• successes of the Allies. Even the King encouraged this ex-
pectation in his Maniftsto of the 17th of January last ; but
on calling the States together on the 15th of March, his Ma-
jesty expessed himself very differently. The old Constitution
was then passed over in silence, and a new one, in the for-
mation of which the States had no shave, laid before them as

• the Organic Law of the State sanctioned ty his Majesty.
To have accepted this Constitution, would have been in she
opinion of the States, an act of treason to their Constituents,
and they declared loudly for the restoration of the ancient
Constitution, with sonic important modifications consistent
:with the spirit of the times. The States warmly praise the
Pt ince Royal for the part he is understood to have talon in
the negociations between tl►em and his father. The King,
l►oweves, persisted in refusing that they should leave four
• Deputies to• carry on the s►cgociatiions. This the states de-•
• dined to do. After this history of the dispute between the
states and the Kitq;, the former declare that they have no
power to defend the interests of their constituents, and no
prospect left, except that of the interference of the High
POwers who have guaranteed the Constiwtiuu.

We understand that it is intended by Government to riro-
pcsv cally in thentxt Session a tax of 171 per pent. on pro-
perty, as a substitute fos the asst:Acd taxes of even), kind.—

BALLOON AND PARACHUTE.

G 3 .5

On Wednesday last, says a Paris paper, Madame Gamed!'
wended in a balloon from the gardens of Tivoli. At four o'clock.
the wind blew with considerable violence from the N. E.; a small
balloon of 'experiment was rapidly carried off. At half.past five
Madame Garnerin went round the company with a noble assurance.
This young, person is twenty years of age ; she excited the liveliest
interest of the spectators; she was (loathed in a simple white robe.
and wore a gal land of flowers on her head. At six o'clock all the
preparations being terminated, the young aeronaut threw herself
into the car, and rose amidst the acclamations of the public. Tint
balloon was rapidly cat ried in the direction of the plain of Mont-
sra-tx. The signal to cut the colds of the parachute was given by
M. Garnerin, her father, by means of a boite, which exploded two
n hates after departure; but it would seem that she was too ele.
k idea to hear the report, as she was not detached from the balloon
till four minutes and a half after her departure. It is impossible to
describe the effect produced the moment the parachute was sepa-
rated from the balloon ; a general cry was heard, and applause soon
burst forth from all sides. when the parachute was seen rapidly en-
volving, and the descent electing majestically and without danger.
The elevation %vas so considerable, that the descent occupied more
than live minutes. She reached the ground without accident near

REVOLUTION IN SPAIN.

! This important intelligence was brought by the Corunna
Mail 9 and has diffused general satisfaction. The author
of the insurrection against an ungrateful and unprincipled
Sovereign, is General PoaLiER, who distinguished himself
in the patriotic war with the invaders of his country, under
the name of the Marquesito. He assembled a body of
troops on the 18th ult. at Santa Lucia, entered the
town of Corunna, arrested the principal authorities, and
having obtained quiet possession of the town, issued the
just and spirited proclamation which will be found in ano-
ther part of our paper,.and in which he describes Ferdi-
nand's misconduct, and the blessings which Spain is de-
termined to secure. Farther accounts say, the adjoining
Provinces are ready to join that of Gallicia, and that the
next advices will probably bring intelligence of the cause
being general throughout Spain. Corunna was illumi-
nated when the packet, which arrived at Falmouth with
a mail, left that place ; and it seems that the cause of
PORTA ER is popular. This important. event giVes much irg-
terest to the reports respecting the state of Spain. The
French papers say, that many old castles have been fitted
up as prisons, and that upwards of fifty thousand persons
have been thrown into confinement for their political opi-
nions, among whom are many of the most brave defend-
ers of the country, in the late struggle with France. King
Ferdinand is said to have sent out Franciscan Friars as
Missionaries to lecture the people against the liberal; the
modern opinions on politics; lectures which have not been
well received, particularly at Madrid, from whence itis
probable the Reviver of the Inquisition will soon be corn,
pelted to fly.

Dispatches have been received in this country from Ge-
neral PORLIER. We undeestand they ar•e couched in very
sanguine terms, and express confident hopes of success.

NEW FRENCH MINISTRY, AND TREAT`.{ OF PEACE.
The first step has at last been taken, and the disgrace of
those men, who, sacrificing principle to interest, in turns,
servt d and betrayed all parties, has at last prepared the
public mind for their punishment. Fouche and Talley_
rand are no longer ministers, and though the King may
have lost able statesmen in those celebrated personages, he
has at least acquired what is preferable, in their stead—
men whose honesty and honour are undoubted. If he ex-
poses himself to the resentment of the disgraced. and their
party, lie will have secured the approbation of France at
large, which cannot but counterbalance the influence of
the disaffected. French Papers to the 28th ult. announce
officially the appointment of the following ministers :
M. le Duc de Richelieu, Minister and Secretaay of State
for the Department of Foreign Affairs, President of the
Council of Ministers;

No. 405.

The days of revolutions are not passed, for the equi-
poise of human passions is not restored. Monarchs have
disregarded the lessons of adversity, and turned into
engines of oppression the sceptres replaced in their hands ;
as though Heaven had raised them from the dust, only to
minister to their pride and to their revenge ! Because a
misled nation expiates under the swords of confederated
Europe the guilt with which it has stained its character in
its wild search after liberty, they fancied that the time
was come to re-edify the throne of despotism and the
altars of superstition.—They forgot, that at the head of the
avengers stood the British people, a living monument of
that Constitutional freedom which can no longer be denied
to mankind. They did not consider the influence of example,
when its authority is sanctioned by the admiration and the

envy of all ; but thought that the heroes who had delivered
their country from foreign invasion would sink into the wil-
ling slaves of native tyranny. Such must have been the
opinion entertained by Ferdinand VII. when he began his
reign of bigotry and terror. Never was a king more in-
debted to the attachment and energy of his subjects, with
fewer pretensions to their love and respect; and never
was Royal ingratitude so ostentatiously displayed. Made
captive through his own obstinate blindness; distin-
guished at the hour of captivity by no other virtue
than a servile adoration of his oppressor ; unable to
aisnitnand a single ducat or a single hand, he was still
2 all-powerful in the hearts of his countrymen. His
rights found hosts of spontaneous defenders, and at the
moment when Spain, regenerated and free, might have
used the privilege of nations, and selected a Sovereign
who should obey and protect her constitution, she
sacrificed her real interests to her loyalty, and made
the return of the Exile, the sole object of her protracted
exertions. Could such devotion be suffered to pass unre-
warded-? Admiring Europe anticipated a glorious re-
cornpence for the triumphant patriots, and painted in glow-
ing hues the meeting of the recongnered monarch and his
deliverers. The day at last arrived ; that day purchased
with years of toils and streams of blood ! The royal bonds
were loosed, and all Spain rushed to hail her kin,

invest him with constitutional power. now frail is hope,
even the hope of nations ! Ferdinand appeared, and all
Spain shrunk back at the aspect• of a tyrant, who
only seized the sceptre to dash in pieces the con-
stitution, the firmest pillar of his throne. The idols
of superstition replaced the banners of freedom.—
The gloom of dungeons swallowed up the patriotic
and the brave. The fires of the Inquisition devoured
the liberal and the enlightened. The joy of the
land was turned into mourning, and. desolation scarcely
dared to sigh, under the pressure of the iron rod.

Months passed, but hope did not revive. Arbitrary ar-
rests, iniquitous judgments, religious persecutions and un-
just condemnations, proved that tyranny was the ruling
system, not the occasional error, of Ferdinand. Had Na-
poleon conquered Spain, and in his vengeance laid her
waste, her punishment could not have been more terrible
than the reward which she received for her patriotism and
loyalty. Bat the hour of endurance is fled. A glorious
light once more breaks upon ber sufferings, and the na-
tion which could smite the Invader in his strength, whilst
the Continent sunk unresisting at his feet, or sent forth
all its armies in his train, will no longer bear the weight
and ravages of internal and intoxicated despotism. Free-
dom has once more taken her stand on the Peninsula.
From her western mountains, she calls her hardy sons to
rise, and "to break the chains of the most fatal slavery
" that has ever been known." These are not wild words,
used by designing intriguers to mislead and to destroy.
They are spoken by a veteran in the cause of Spanish in-
dependence, who has sealed the truth of his professions
by repeated triumphs over the enemies of his country.
The oppressions of the French roused him to arms, which
he often reddened with their blood, and only laid down,
when the return of Ferdinand promised days of peace and
of prosperity to Spain. Ile knows the evils of slavery,
which he fought for so many years to remove. from the
bosom of his country. Ile has contributed to punish the
audacious foreigner by whom they were introduced, and
he will not suffer them to be implanted on a soil Iw-
dewed with the blood of heroes, even Ly the hand
of a Spanish King. His experience will gain him
creidt, and his valour success. The gallant spirits

ItLEVENTH DAY.

Netwith•tanditig Wilson started nearly an hoar behind his time,
he had completed his twelfth mile. as on the preceding day.
shortly atter twelve, and soon after five hail completed the half of
his day's work. He was them stvnitp., and vigorous, and in uncom-
mon high spirits. and late:liing an-I joking with the spectators, as
he passed, hn in general hailed Dint with hind cheers, and indeed,
to use a backnied observation, "almost killed him with kindness"
Sometimes the pressure was so great around him, in defiance of
every effort of his friends, that Ills way was literally stopped ; and
it became necessary to have recourse to more persuasive arguments
than language would Itirsiish—we mean the argunicnium bucculinum.
In one instance, poor Wil-'on himself, although inclined (as indeed
be might to be) to treat all with good manners and attention, was
constrained, from an nuprovolsed attack which was made upon him,
to use his list, and to sttike a person who hail, whether.designedly
or not we casinot pronounce, lint too frequently crossed his path.
This circumstance was isnmediaiely seized by those who are
Ifixions for his failure, as a good opportnnity for throwing, as they
Conceived it, all insuperable impediment in the way of the match ;
and !hey persuaded use man w his received the blow to take out a
warrant for his apprehension for Ilse assault. The warrant was oh.
tamed, and put into the hands of a constable to execute. This
man, however, had more sense, as well as more good-nature, (hats

up in time to defeat the. enemy before they acquired an
overwhelming strength. If this, unfortunately, should not
have proved the case, we lament to say, that the chances are
in favour of the success of Naprileon, for the lamentable fact
is undoubted, that almost the whole of the French soldiery
arc attached to the tyrant; and, besides Massena and Ange-
1-eau, we believe all the other Marshals, except Mac-
moot, and perhaps Soult, arc ready to join his standard
on the first favourable opportunity. The Traitor
could tint have chosen a more convenient spot than
that at which he effected his landing. Besides having
an immediate intercourse with his friends in France, he
will be enabled "to open a communication with the malcon.
tents of the whole of the North of Italy, if not with Murat in
the South ;and we find, by the minor French papers, that
! troops had been marched, towards Italy, even before his land-
ing, in consequence of some movements in, that, country.

NEW ORLEAN.

in ano'her part of our pages will be found the melancholy
account of our sanguinary repulse at New Orleans. This is
the more unfortunate, as, besides the death of several skilful
Generals, and so many valuable warriors, the Americans will
have gathered the last laurels of the war.

ESCAPE OF .
The serond Representative of '
I,i4Constitnents and Gaolers at ,
ocape from the King's Bench. This event is supposed to have
taken place last Monday night, though it was not discovered till
li•st Thursday morning that the Noble Lord had absconded. Im-
vlt.(batcly upon missing their prisoner, there was a meeting of the
and his Assistants. by whom Mr. Butt,,a Mr. Prescott, and
1 0:1 Cochrane's servant, were examined. The latter had not seen
Didster since nine o'clock on Monday evening.
It is generally supposed by the officers of the place, that by lb,
kip of ropes. and a sailor's activity, his Lordship pawed front the
part of the prison called the State House to the walls and let bim-
&elf down from thence to the ground. He had it seems been in-
dulged with the lilies ty of going to the top of the faiiilding, in order
to make experiments on his lamps, the improvement in which ap.
'ware(' to he a principal amusement with the fugitive Lord.
Friday morning a regular but inefiectnal much was made through
out the prison. Hi. period of imprisoumerit would expire in June,
and his circumstances are understood to be sufficiently ample ,to
ren:ler the fine, which is 10001. no ohject. Under these cireum-
oat; ces his motives are apparently nnaccountable ; but his friends
who have been in the habit of visiting him, say, be has freqheittly
dedared in the most solemn mamier that he never would pay yte•
tine ; an•l that it was also his determination to quit the country.
Mr. Jones, the Marshal, says it is impossible. his Lordship could
have escaped m er flue walls, that be must have gone out at thedoors
in disguise'. Mr. Jones went to the Committee or the House of
Commons, and to the Secretary of State. and it is believed be will
advertise a reward for discovering his Lordship. •

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

On Monday last, Lord Castlereagh, made his first appea?-
ancc in the House of Commons this Session. llis communi-
cation of the proceedings of the Congress, as far as they can
he revealed, is postponed to Wedneslay next, when the na-
tion wi:l be put in possesion of 411 that regards the settlement
of the world. The riots which have dtisgraced this metto-
polls, and only served to induce the Legislature to persist in
a measure which we think decidedly wrong, afforded his
Lordship several opportunities of displaying much 44-
nity of language aid of sentiments. It was rumoured
)esterday that a challenge had been the consequence
of the charges and retorts which passed between him and Sir
Francis Burdett last Friday evening. But the report appeals
unfourdkd. •

The English in France, in consequence of the prospect of
fresh troubles in that country, must feel themselvos aukward-
ly situated at present, where they are by no means favorites.
We may e.xrect to hear.of the return home of thousands of
these idle gentlemen, and that those who have meditated.a
viit to France, will at least suspcnd'their departure.

NOMMINIMOMMOII

We have received the 2uutidienne Paris Paper of the 7th'

in the shape of "..4.ffiches," widely distributed all over France.
The former, which is the only minor Journal that notices the
.event, says—.. He who was fora long time the scourge of
France, has made a mad attempt which must end in his Pain;
he has dared to polute the French territories with his
presence, on which he was so lately spared. He has landed
in the Department of Var. A PRICE HAS BEEN SET uvoti
