POLITICIL EVENTS OF THE !PEEK.

Every intelligence, received during the course of the
week from the Continent, so far from repressing the san-
guine expectations we entertain relative to the success of
the Spaniards and Portuguese, tends to corroborate them.
It may be objected, that our tone was too peremptery;
that our certainty of success was too unconditional ;
in taking a retrospect of the past for the last three years,
that is the whole of the Austrian and Prussian war,
our Readers will not fail to notice the important circum-
stance, that in a shorter space 'of time than the Spanish in-
surrection has already lasted, the Austrian and Prussian ar-
mies had been annihilated, and the two monarchies lay
prostrate at the feet of the conqueror. It is unnecessary
to advert to the vast accession of strength which es er)
every week, every month, brings to a popular insurrec-
tion. It is like a heap of snow loosened from the summit
of a mountain, in proportion as it descends, its bulk in-
creases, till it becomes so irresistible by its weight and its
size, that every object which stands is dragged after it,
and serves to augment its terrific and devastating effects.
If the Gallic. Monster had not been able to stifle the )oung
Hercules in his cradle, shall we entertain any apprehension
that he will be able to do it when the hero arrives at ma-
turity. All the philosophic glare of our age, all the affect-
ed eccentricity of our modern writers, are not p;rstiasoe
enough to make us renounce early religious impressions,
and to doubt of retributive justice. There must be a term
to villa'ny—the cause of justice, though exposed to trials and
difficulties for a time, must be finally triumphant. Reli-
gion--experience, traditionary And historical, confirm this
opinion.
Bat it is perfectly unnecessary we should have recourse
to declamation to aid the opinion we entertained of Spa-
nish affairs. There are facts, strong irresistible facts, in
support of it. Every nail fromthe Continent hriiis
thein—Lvery foreign nt:ss spaper contains them ;
