emancipation of Spain from the yoke of France,
appears to have sunk very low ; and nnqualified
submission is too generally recommended and con-
aidered as the only means of averting the evils
which press on that devoted country. The lower
classes and the lower clergy are still faithful to their
hatred against their unprincipled invaders, but even
among them the Cortez, from which alone national
unanimity would have been expected, have lost all
their influence and all their credit. But the higher
:classes, who throughout Europe have prepared and
effected the ruin of Empires, hasten, by their wishes
and by their secret services, the happiness which
they expect under.. # BUONAPARTE'S Government.
The example of the Dutch, of the Germans, and
of the Italians is lost upon them, because, through
*a frivolous attempt at a fashionable but false libe-
rality of sentiments, they have sacrificed their na-
tional• character, and abandoned their national
Manners, to become .the unthinking echoes of French
principles, the servile and dissolute imitators of
French tharineri. How many Hidalgoes of that

TURKEY. • . •'
`From the.proclamation of the GRAND SEIGNIOR,
Aonuected vtgh,,the official communication from St.
Petersburghp ..,which immediately follows in our
Taper, it appears that peace will be concluded before
'long, between the Turks and the Russians, on terms
less disadvantageous to the Sublime Porte, than
was generally apprehended. Russia demanded
Moldavia, Wallachia, and the independence of
Servia ; the Turks would consent only to the cession
of. the former.provinces ; and the GRAND SEIGNIOR,
in his proclamation of the 4th of December, an-
nounces.to the faithful, that orders had been given
.to resume the offensive, in consequence of the terms
he had proferred having been rejected. But M.
Romitrigow, in his. official communication of the
15th of the same month, after alluding to for-
mer negotiations, expresses a hope that peace
may now. be, won, obtained, as General KAMENSKY
had received orders to promote conciliation. Pro-
. bably, the negociators will have adopted the middle
course, of sacrificing the Servians, as weak allies
Ix
are always treated, ,and of .transferrin .both Wal-
lachia and Moldavia to the Emperqr? EXANDER.
Indeed BuoNAPARTE, in his Exe9g.9,,,.;10Q9, has
formally given him leave to seize on these two
provinces, which, • appeared, even then, the only
share in the spoils of Turkey he was willing to
allow him. We have always expressed, as our
decided opinion, that • the final partition of
Turkey would not take place, until BUONAPARTE.,
having terminated the Spanish war, . should be able
to carve the prey, and allot the shares himself.
