o opprsive, as any that has ever enslaved and afflicted mankind.

I\VASION OF NORWAY.

The infamous contest in the North has commenced.
With the expressed approbation and the proffered asset-'
ante of all those Sovereigns who lately dethroned Bona-
parte, becaese he had destroyed the independence of na-
,ions, the Crown Prince has invaded Norway, for the pur-
pose of Imitating his conduct and bringing a high-spirited
and patriotic people under his yoke. Two Swedish Bul- '
1 tins, dated the sth and 11th inst. have already arrived,
and detail the first operations of the war. Bernadotte appears
not to have forgotten the French custom of increasing suc-
.?ss and concealing; defeats. He boasts of advantages
which he evidently only owes to the defensive system.
*dui ted by the Hero of- Norway, in imitation of the Em-,
7.-rer cf Huss'a in 1812, and which consists solely of
undisputed positions. The towns rather, than fortresses
which he. has •occupied were not sufficiently strong tore-
s'st, and although the Swcd s are in possession of the left
bank of the Glommen, yot as it is the interest of the
Norwegians to draw them into the heart of their country
where they m9y be cut off and destroyed, and they have
clearly acted on that principle, this advance cannot be
considered as unfavourable to the cause. of justices and
freedom. When they find an opportunity, and the na-
ture of the country affords many, the Norwe4'anS will fall
on the separate corps of the enemy and easily overthrow
them. There is no doubt but the actions of the 2d, 3d,
and 9th inst., in one of which Bernadotte acknowledges
the'less of one piece of cannon, twenty baggage waggons,
4 officers, and 140 men, 4nd states one of his divisions to
have been surrounded, werelbtopiete victories gained by-
the patriots. Nay their eauw prosper, and their indepen-
dence be established. If till Sovereigns of the earth rise
against them, the hopes and prayers of mankind ascend to

PRICE gd.

If the one could give or the other take away, the right of
transfer must continue, and the fee simple of Spain, like the
title to an estate, may be willed to, or disposed of, at the Plea-
sure of the possessor—the entailment is, hoWever, with the
people, and the, power they have a, right to assume is otily
conditional upon the office they have created. It has more:
over particularly •been proved in .thi• transactions of the
Cortes, that the crown of Spain is'elective. •
In case these parties come to open-hostilities, it will be
curious to investigate the character of 'their 'respective VA-
lowers. The literates, or liberal party; dnring the war, were
the friends of Ferdinand, infusing into and cheilshlo, in the
people that spirit of resistance which led to their final triumph.
In gratitude for. this exemplary- assistance, the' filsCact of
their favourite was to• 'destroy the constitution 'they had
funded, and to incarcetatesome of their niiistableleriders..
They are of course no longer friendly to the succession of
Ferdinand. • He has-then- only to look to the serriTes, or ser-
vile party, and these indeed seem to be the associates of his,
tyrannical designs. To their flattery and his confidence we
.owe the re-establishment of the Inquisition and the favoriti,m
.•
of bigotry. Great part of this man's life is spent amongst
the .black. lettered legends of fanatics and ascetic monks, and.
•
in visiting convents and nunneries; so that It may be said Qf
him, as of one of the Phillips, that he is better fit to carry the
keys of a convent than to wield the sceptre of a kingdom.
Indeed he appears to think that the safety of his Throne de•
pends upon the restoration of all those obnoxious establish-
ments, which a wise and .liberal policy had induced the
Cortes to destroy. The coniequences are. inevitable, and
Ferdinand must ultimatelylaeconte the victim of this infer-
nal agency. •
The parties upon whom the father .r,).q son rely for sup-
port, agree in'ihe intended reStoratfori, though they widel•
differ in principle. The first are those whom. Ferdinand 1).4

'Miss O'Neit, whose tragic abilities have gained general

engaged fur next season at Covent Gatben.

Mr. Carnerin, whose arrival in this country we lately an-
nounced, is preparing an exhibition of his new and superb

stand, be ready to gratify the curiosity of the public.

Mr. Sadler, junior, ascended with his Ir:loon on Wednes-
day, from a field called Kettlewell Orchard, a‘ljoining the
the C..thedral, at York. The ascension was a reniarkablv
tine ove : the weather, which had been very stormy doting
the whole of the forenoon, cleared up, and was as calm and
favourab!e as could.be wisheol. • The balloon ascended at 21
ruinute; after one, and was seen with the naked eye from the
place of ascension, for 45 minutes. From the ascent to the
descent 13 miles. His descent was near Craike and Easing-

was fortunate in near a populous and iu•spitahle
noighbourhood had he passed the bleak 'aed desolate hills
which W.4S before him, he might have spent the night unas-

turned to Yolk safe, at half-past seven o'clock.

SPAIN.

The afrrirs of Spain approach a melancholy crisis, and the
want of an external enemy seems to have set loose all the
deadly passion% that prey upon a nation's welfare. The ter-
mination of fi,reign warfare seems to be the signal for the
commencement of civil strife, and the resolution of Charles
the Fourth to attempt the recovery of his Throne, must in-
volve that onhappy country in new difficulties and in new
dangers. This attempt, however, must be attended with
much personal risk, and requires a degree of exertion and
conduct, the reverse of the pacific and indolent disposition
of the King. But what the King is deficient in, his wife,
Maria Louisa, will supply, and we may expect from the in•
triguing disposition of the woman, an energy and ambition
sufficiently powerful to disturb the present settlement of
Spain. The Queen is of a masculine and intrepid charac-
ter, priard and 2opiring, and a deadly enemy to her son Fer-
dinand, of whose popularity she was always jealous, and as
she is at the bottom of the present movements subversive of
hie authority, it may be worth while to ascertain the grounds
and probability of success upon which the restoration of her
husband is founded.

It is almost useless to enquire by what right Ferdinand
the seventh ascended the Throne during the life time of his
father. The nation has not consented, and the act which
might have legalisNl the assumption of the sovereign•autho.
city he has destroyed. Is it by virtue of his father's abdica-
tion ? It must be remembered that during the revolution
of AranjHez, excited and effected in favour of Ferdinand,.
ostensibly through the misconduct of Godly, then Prime Mi-
nister, Charles is said to have abdicated, but we have
no one document that can legalise his abdication. The
step was dictated by fear alone, and.effected by intimida-
tion. Cavallero and the Dukes del Infantado 'and San
Carlos, made the King believe that %itch a measure was
necessary to the safe►y of his life. These were the public
iends and secret abettors of Ferdinand, and were amongst
the number of those who sought the retention of their rank
and power in the degradation of thi!ir sovereign. But the na-
tion can alone judge of the legality of the act—and; if the
abdication of Charles be final, the foimal resignation of his
kingdom to Buonaparte is equally binding upon his successor,

is The wonderful changes in Europe came nponns like an over-
whelming torrent, which deprived us for some time Of the faculty
of reflection upon the eNtent of the happy emisvenences likely to
result thereaem. We HOW look to the Americans getting a eood
dressing, which they so well merit, and appearances indicate that
Ministers are well digitised to inflict it, from the exit lit of the re-
inforcements which have arrived and are talked of. We ntret
agreeal4 surprised to see two regiments tiom Boma Vint all
this assistance will avail little unless enth r utltri management here.
I really anticipate nothing but disgrace from the weak, %rfliiiik
and unsystematic proceedings of this Govetement. The troops %ill
be sacrificed piecemeal, without am fixed object or combieed move-
ment for attack, and we shall be still tied to the drivelling, dis-
heartening system of defence which leaves to the enemy his
choice of time aed place for annoying us ! It is much to be
regretted that the British Government do not hear and see
all which passes here. The time is not far distant when
they will find themselves woefully disappointed in the espectas
tion they have formed of some individuals, who at . present
possess their confidence, and will neither act themselves, nor allow
others; or why not have complied with the applications in the
Sprint, from the Upper Province, and have sent up more troops.
in lead of allowing them to remain inactive at Chaeubly, &e. i We
lost the command of the Lacs by neglecting to attack the ctienio
'laval depots at Sarkurs harbour, on Lake Ontario, and Presipie
Isle on Lake Erie, where they were allowed to nut-build us, anti
always will do so, in a mere war of ship carpenters, as at Kt.-
' senr. That command can only be regained by attacking and
destroying, uy a land force, those depots; and such might have
been done, more than once, with every prospect of success;
lint from that fatality of indecision that leaves all to chauce,
good officers become disgusted in succession, with this negative war-
fire, by which we have every thing to lose and nothing to gain.
cannot with patience see such a nibiopplieation of nwans as we ere
now possessed of in Canada. Of all the troops arrived, not one has
yet been sent to Upper Canada. There is an incompreheesibility
in all our proceedings here, as the enemy is collecting in great force

Gult.nrortn, Art:. lei Stajeant last stated that this was

can.es had been of kite years so frtqatikt in our Courts of shestice,
that ere' y argument had become thrt..ailbare, and he should there-
fore abstain from wasting time, by c ;menthe!. on the nature and
serious quality of the injury. Ile shauld ramtent himself with stating
to the Jury the parties and circumstances of the ease. The ',lain-
tiff, Mr. Towles, was a respectable Laudon merchant, residing at
Kennington, next door to the ;kleinlaut. The latter was a dancing—
muster, but one of the most extensive practice, and possessing ;
great deal of money. At least he exhibited all the external marks
of wealth, for he kept a splendid house and table, and glittered
away in a Showy equipage. But although they were next door
neighbours, the parties did not visit for some time. The plaintiff
was absent dialog the greater part of the day, on his business in
London; and .it was on one day during his absenac that Mrs. Ise
Mercier first visited at the house of the plaintiff When lie returned
home at Hight he fonnd his wife lull of the praises of their neigh-
bour, and from thence a communication of visiting commenced be-
tween the thiuilies. At this time the plaintiff. and his wife were
very , young. He had been married but six years„ nod had three
children. At the time of the marriage he was barely twenty-one
years old, and his wife not above eighteen. During the last sum-
mer one of the children was ill, and, thr the benefit of the air, a
lodging was taken at Richmood; aud while Mrs. Le Mercier her-
self Na as in a stale far advanced in we:plain-N. , the defendant took
the opportunity of carrying on his work of seduction. and in which
he too soon unfortunately succeeded; thr in the month of -June last
,;firs. Puwles left her lodging, and he should prove that Nlr. Le Mer-
cier and herself passed several days together at the Spring-garden
Coffee-house, where they coliabOri as mail aml wife. This was the
ease he had to present to them, and for w Inch the plaintiff sought
to recovi r a compensation in damages.
John Harcourt !tackle produced the registry of the marriage of
the parties, by %%inch it appeared that they were married at St.
Leonard's, Sliorediteh, opt me t:•nli February, I

Mrs. Hannah Jones was aunt to the plaintiff. She stated that
they were acquainted together about our years Ire tore they were
married. Mrs. Towles was thin not quite 18, and Mr. Ponies not

The last accounts from Spain confirm that the old family
compact is revived with France, and a commercial treaty
made. The latter, England has never been able to effect ;
and'it is singular that the consequence of all her fighting and

rated as her bane.

applause ; it, .however, is not so true to nature as h*,,
Jerry -,S'nea. BausToN's light genteel figure, andindet:('
Lis aener::l stil, admirably lit him for the higher wall;
of Comedy, of which his Random afforded a strikini
proof. The Ladies at this Theatre are rather useful tha.
ornamental .appendages to the Dramatis Persona', with.
indeed, the exception of Mrs. Glans, who, in Kitty, eli-
cited even more than her usual naivet(: and dicrirrikna-
Con. Aliliong,h justice compels •us to allow that, in
Tiptoe, Mr. RAYNER displayed considerable comic hu-
mour, and much promise of future excellence, yet, we
think, that his forte is countrg boys, and most of the cha-
racters that LisroN plays, whom, ,n person and figure, he
greatly resembles ; we shall be happy to seo him oftener
brought before the public. • His Sim, in IViti Oats, was
in the true and genuine
.spirit of Comedy, at once artless,
natural, and unaffected, perhaps too much so for stage
effect ; but, while the silent approbation of the judicious
shall continue to be more dear to the actor of intrinsic
merit, than the applause of the multitude, we would ad-
vise Mr. RAYNER, without sacrificing at the shrine of
popularity, by giving a deeper colouring to his comic
efforts, steadily to pursue the path he has taken, as the
sure road to eminence in his profession.

whole of thr father's books to be transcribed into the answer, which
would extend it to the number of 9h0,000 folio she, ts, and myth.*

Chancellor granted the motion, all Owing extiacts only to be taken.
