of your prosperity.
Austrians, neither the sanlity of oaths, nor pub-
lic faith, nor solemn treaties, have been capable of
binding the ferocious Napoleon, who has sworn your
ruin. He attacks and ravages your territories; he
cornipts your Councils, and dida`es laws to you ;.
he grants you a peace without any irfention of main-
taining it, while he makes you sub-lit to the most
prodigal sacrifices as the price of a teivorary respite.
Prussians, what has been the rest)t of your inac-
Aivity and erroneous policy ? How "finch did you

is the man, who, affeoting to bewail our existing

justly merit ! Great God ! Let all thy creatures praise

Ferdinand and the Infants, now • viewed in -their

heart, incapable of generous contrition, cannot sup

Pure and royal blood of the most noble Goths, which
has been transmitted to our Ferdinand, through an
uninterrupted series of Kings, rejoice, that the Spa-
nish nation never has. acknowledged, nor ever will
acknowledge,' any duminion but that which is-found.;
ed in lawful authority. They have too quick a sense
of honour to degrade themselves into subjeis of a
Corsican Intruder.

Godoy ! more perfidious than Count Don Julian
of foimer times, you have inundated your country
with a horde of monsters, who have re-acted within
her territory all the horrors ofthe Palatinate. Tremble;
your tyranny and treason are now near a tioal close.
Do you thick that you will not have to expiate the
spoliation of our property, and your numerous ads
of treason, by shedding of your impure blood ?
You are much mistaken if you flatter yourself that
yoor perfidies will be forgotten. The spedade
of so many rich and fertile provinces plundered,
ravaged, and cruelly laid wage, will' never vanish
from our sight. The turf covers the inanimate re-
mains of your fellow countrymen, who have fallen
victims to your treachery ; but from their graves,
they cry to heaven and earth for Vengeance, and
they shall obtain it. The corrupt nation that now
affords you an asylum, will in vindication of its own
honour, strike the fatal blow which your perfidious
ingratitude deserves, and your name will be branded
with the execration of all posterity.
Proud Albion ! genet-0;s Island, impregnable bul-
wark of liberty, land of Freemen ! glory in being
the only one among the nations that has stood' for-
ward with thy generous courage and int!incible squa-
drons, to hem in and destroy that despot whd grasps
at universal dominion. Yes ! England, impartial
Homers will hand down to posterity the tale of thy
glorious achievements in defence of thy liberty.
Buonaparte neither yourself nor your perform,
ances can impose nob!) those ,who have narrowly
watched yon. Your hit sling encomiasts and flatterers
cannot mislead us by their sophisms. The creature
of Robespierre, you owed your unworthy elevation
to the reign of terror. :Yeu made your troops fire,
upon the Parisians,' and this piece of iniquitorfs'
treachery procured you the hand of the illustrious
Mistress of Barras,--the first step in your ascent to
the Sovereignty. The most profound hypocrisy,
the most criminal, resources of despotism, are inees-..
santly employe.d to preserve your precarious
istence. But the blood of such a Prince as Enghlen
cries gut fide that of Abel against his murderer;
At the moment of your greatest securiti, another

them, tranquil and happy; he presents himself to
their view ; he adrnini`sters jiistice in Mercy ; he tote-'
sees and prevents, or relieves the necessities of leis
children; his subjects adore him, and Offer up Prayers
for his happiness. But you, a prey to anxiety;: sus-
picion, and remoise, never taste repose ; and your
people breathe nothing •but vows for' your speedy
destruction. A general torpor, easily changed itito--1

to burst forth against yourself and your works. -Ad-

.preceded him—that Louis, who, when Dauphin
of France was unhappy because his coach, in', pas-
sing along the road, did some damage to a field of
corn, and expressed the pain which it gave hiin, in
these memorable words—" This is not our property ;
let the injury we have done be instantly paid for.'—
Thta trait ol -huwanity tilled your begit3 with joy,

4ff
and in his person you promised yourselves a relttin
of the golden age. At his elevation to the throne,
he gave you a proof of his paternal atketion, in
nishing the expences of his Royal Household, in
banding his guards, lightening your taxes, and con-
sulting your happiness; by every possible means
and what was his reward ? Louis, a Kina, and the
descendant of Kings, perished on the scaffold : but
he stiii lives in the feeling heart of every good
Frenchman and his good deeds and his inisfortunes
w;11 occupy a distinguished situation in the temple of
Fame.

France ! your only stable Empire, consisting of,
that honour, glory, and humanity, which heretofore
were the inseparable attributes of the French name,
have been annihilated by .a destruCtive anarchy.—
Your sons, atauated by mistaken notions of liberty,
which has no existence separate from religion, were
involved in excesses which future generations Wi)l
scarcely believe. You wished to be free, and the
way you took to attain your objet was to deluge
every part of the empire with blood. Amidst the
blindness of your phrenzy, the most respeelable of
your countrymen were brought to the _block. Ther
extraordinary efforts which you made to secure yay4r,
liberty have, by the most fatal contrast, made you,
the captives and viEtims' of a Government the Most
atrocious and sanguinary. Yes, Frenchmen, you-
were governed by a King, who, making honour the
first of his virtues, ruled over you in mildness, and,
at the expense of great personal sacrifices,' consulted
your tranquillity and happiness.- You are now go-
verned by a despotic intruder, who has deprived you
of all authority, despoiled you of your property,
and bent your necks under his iron yoke. He spares -
not means to gratify his cupidity ; he enriches with .
your spoils aatnall number of his creatures; and too
you be leaves the inheritance of sorrow and despair'

of misfortunes, supported with honour, have perfeeted

alone, and his Royal race, can restore you to that

trious and ancient Empire. in Europe. .Hasten to

rious a revolution. Your existence and that of your
children imperiously detrianda this of you. Soldiers !
your honour is implicated on this occasion. Members
of the Senate, Legislators of France, if your breasts
retain a single spark of patriotism, you will co-ope-
rate with the nation in so laudable a cause. Mini-
sters ot the altar, unite your efforts, an4impress upon
the people that the Royal House of Barbel) onlycan

career of honour, the constant charaaeristic of his
progenitors, loves you with a paternal affection. Dis-
play your loyal sense of so much benevolence by pro-
claiming his august name. Perish the intruder, whoie
elevation has been the Opprobrium both of Kings and
people. The horror wherewith his despotism has
inspired you, the national revenge which inflames
your breasts, will wait for no other occasion to de-
clare itself than that of seeing him abandoned by
fortune. In Spain, loyal Frenchmen, that fickle
goddess has turned her back upon hitn.—We have
taken up arms—we have unsheathed our swords
in defence of our Country, our Religion, and our
'King Ferdinand VII. whose sacred person has been
carried off from us by the most atrocious perfidy.—
Imitate our example, and at the same time tread
in the footsteps of your ancestors, who were even
lavish of their blood in defence of their lawful So-
vereigns. Think of your Condes, Turennes, and
Broglios. Let us shake off the yoke of the Op-
pressor, and we shall ensure an independent exist-
ence for ourselves, with the additional zest of its be"-
ing perpetually re-produced by our offsprina. We'
shall enjoy in peace the fruits of industry and com-
merce, cherished by that paternal government which
is the obje& of our wishes, and which we have a
right to expect from the virtues that adorn the sacred
persons of Louis XVIII. and Ferdinand VII. our
lawful Sovereigns. Tile impious and destructive

GOVEETOIENT yesterday received dispatches from
St. Auklero"of a "very favourable nature : they are
dated the 31st flit, The intrepid General BLAKE,
who had advanced beyond'llilboa, had attacked the
enemy ou the 26th, at a place 'called • Zernosa,
situated on the' road to Durango, where -a sharp
contest took place, which lasted but :a short

marked by
,Such judgment, that the Enemy was
obliged to retreat, and were considerably annoyed as
they retired by the persevering attacks of the heroic
Spaniards. BLAKE had. reached, Zernosa, and was
preparing to snake a fresh attack upon the Enemy.

It was thought when these Dispatches came away,
that the enemy had resolved to defend Durangu, and
