POLITICIL EVEA"I'S OF THE WEEK.

The et'morni:rnt of the great tragedy which has been act..
ing upon the Coat Me nt, and in m kb we have uniGrtimately,
played a part so much bey (,nd ti!.;r powers, is evidently
drawing lo a close. The lizst scene is performing, and when
the- curtain is fiirfy dropped we should almost fancy we
had only becn spectat•i;-:i if it were not for the settlement of
accounts which most succeed. Duly ohli.„;es us to state
that although o Tcial accounts have !wen TCCOI vet! fr,,m
the Continent of the feial adjustment of the articles of
Peace between the two Emperors, yet little dool;t is enter-
tained of the present negotiations terminating in that way..
So much of speculation has heen hazarded during the con-
tinuance of the Armistice as to what the terms ct peace
may be, that we are as much at a loss to form an opinion
from any thing we have heard as we should b' if no in-
formation.w•Nateyer had been afforded us on the subject.
The battle of Wagram must have been infinitely more dhi-
astrous to the Austrians than we had or possibly could
have cow :civet!, it' the terms, the humiliating and dis-
graceful terms which Buo' x PARTE is said to insist upon
are complied with. If they are, the Continent is at his feet.
The afi'airs of SpAin arc not worse than they were when
we wrote our last summary ; they could not well assume
a more sombre cast, unless the annihilation of our army
in that country had been added to our other disgraceq.
Ministers, it is said, have determined to withdraw it from
the Peninsula. Our readers will recollect. that we long
since declared our opinion that this was all the advantage
we should, or ought to expect, from the kiiliant and me-
morable battle of Talavera. It will be some satisfaction
to such of them who reach this country, that it will be suf-
ficient to their honour to have survived the exploits of that
day. They may proudly assume the merit or having de-
served well of their country. . Our other Exrditioa has
returned, not covered with laurels or gloo• ; the Com-
mander in Chief, for the present:, at least, disraccd in the
opinion of the people ; the army itself, awl the navy .1w.:.!
arc told) indignant and exisperated. We owe it to our-
selves, and to those who tight our b;L:Oes, to loos
into all this, awl administration uffl do well to stand
forettiost in the enquiry. it is a responsibility front,
which they ought not Zo shrink, and• front which
they will lIQL ir.'Tere..l 16 shrink, even • if contrary to
our belief, they should bse iuclitcti so to do.
