'3-ttßayti6c9i4s. of tlie Supreme Junta of Govern-
riVenit.laVV:Sdad, and the offers of his Serene High-

rxe'sssArraratid Duke of BakG, dime too late—
mtiCh too late. The-epoch of the French Gazettes
is already past ; theintluenCe ot• the papers is at au
end ; and the declarations of the, Emperor and King
-have for ever log all their force and eiiieacy. In
former clAys, %%:11en the French armies
,-,..‘ere occo-
'piedihilesa4:ng the North and Italy, there might
be some good-folks who put faith in his pompous
staterriei'AV,)iiekdiquspe&ing that there was an indi-
vPf Innuan race who could at-
tempt to itopouLupon mankind by a fegular system
of base artitivs and infernal. deceptions. But now,
after Whai 1154 passed within our view in Portugal,
with the atr=ocities cow pitted in Castile before our
eyes, -after the events of:the 2d of May, and the
captivity of the whole of the Royal Faintly, can
,he
now impose upon us ? can,he now lead us astray ?
The Supreme Junta of Government are very much
mistaken, when they tell us, that " we know but
little of his :Imperial. Highness." ' We very well
know the import, of « felicity

'comprehend,_what _is--t-he 9 fica flan of " '
te..-tion ;1' and we are not at a loss.to' make out the
meaning- of the words "liberty and egeneration."
—We have already made tolerable progreSs in' the
language of the Great NAPOLEON; fur inrit!ed We have
taken a feW lessons in the idiom of tyrants, having
bought, at a pretty. dear rate, a magnificent 'lachia-
velian dictionary, which wasprinted at the expence
of-Germany, Italy, and Portugal, and -of which a
much wore expensive edition was to hate heel) print-
ed 4t,0ur..0.it-ioNpt withstanding our constant use of
this ilictuonary, and the good example of our Ally,
Weii.AßFpersisfltiebUr errors, continue in our ignor-
anee,and nortmtbandon our prejudices, two of them
in particBler4,,,niA,to permit ourselves ui.he deceived
in matters„of.religion, nor to suffer a foreigner to
be-
come our King. We may be Goths, barbarians,
uncultivated boors, and Mere animals of routine and
instina; we may be Hottentots; whatever the great
NA POL EON chooses to call us; whatever Prince 'Mu-
RAT may be disposed to say of us;, whatever -the
Supreme Junta of Madrid; in their good pleasure,
may describe us to be ; we shall be all this, and any
thiapdritl4os sUbjeaS of JOSEPH NAPOLEON. The
greateit,ella-witiuthat can befal us is the loss of life,
ancl-th4,stwiik.llNArot.oN the GREAT give us the
law, e'cauliot eXpett to escape. The destroying
sword-Of hifi Witifeance would speedily dispatch aria
half of I:4eAollish nation, and'his Military conscrip-
tion the other. , •

About fifteen months ago a Deputation•of Poles
/presented theMselves before his. Imperial and Royal
• Majesty at Warsaw, to • solicit their intlependence.
This most discreet. Sovereign, though be knew him-
self to have been proclaimed omnipoten-t'Emperor
and Monarch of the whole Universe, answered them
in the following remarkable wo!ds :—" What you
'solicit is in your own hands. That a nation should
be free and recover her independence, it is'sUfficient
that she wills- it." •

Under such circurmtances it is that the Spani
nation has resolved to justify the political aphorism
of Onr Regenerator.
