100,0001. may be voted for the purpose of carrying
on certain works in the dock-yard at Portsmouth for,
the year 1810, bUt circumstances may arise to make
it expedient to defr these works for an unlimited
time ;:in This case, they cannot be said to have cost
.100,0001. because that sum was voted towards
carrying' them on. Thus has the Writer in the

If the Public were not so well acquainted with
the confident language of the Oppoiition Papers, it
might wonder at the boldness: of some of their as-
sertions. Without knowing what Lord WELLES-
LEY has been able to eqeot Spain, the chief Organ
of Opposition this day asserts, that " never was fail-
ure more complete than Lord WELI.,.EsLEy's in
Spain. He has not succeeded in a'single objed,ot
his mission. He has neither -expelled the French,,
nor reformed the Junta; neither united the People,
nor conciliated the Government." Is Opposition
Writer so much in the confidence of Ministers as to
be fully apprized of the several obieCts of Lord WEL-
LESLEY'S mission, that he so roundly proclaims.the
failure of them all ?—This is the rant of party decla-
mation, but it is marked by more than the usual de-
gree'of confidence.- As to "expelling the French,"
it might. be inferred that Lord,WELtur.Ey went to
Spain :in a military capacity froth these words, but
we are, of course, not to take them literally,.and the
'Author probably means, that Lord WELLESLEY

tion and energy to the Span's!) .Counsels. Even ad 7

Junta," from all accounts the Junta are reforming
themselves. The Opposition Writers, have often

arms, ammunition, &c: would only injure -1010.-

officiously interposed to new-model the Spanish
Government. But it seems his Lordship has n9t
" united the people, nor e,meiliated the Government
of Spain." The people of Spain, with the excep-
tion of a few Traitors (arid thiire are Traitors no

doubt to be ic,old in every country, who assume
the mask of Patriots, even in this) are already
united, but they. want military experience to
cope against the powerful .Ai rnies of France
at present ; they are already united in; detesta-
tion of French treachery, which trait deprived
them of their King; they are unitei in detestation of
Pr,:nch arrogance, awbition, anderneity, which are

attemptiog to bend them beneath a foreign :yoke;
1 s° that Lord WELLESLF.Y had no occasion- to exert
" his efforts' in.oraei• to produce unanimicy among a
people who burn with one common imptilse against
i their atrocious invaders. Tbat- Lord WLT,,ESLEY

dichicha charge. He has certainly not alienated that
Government, and it is note to he doubted, that

whenever he has been cansultt,cl, his counsels
I have been dietated by the wisdom and knowledge

of an experienced and enlightened Statesman. The
circuinstance of sending so distingiii4ted a diameter
as the representative of His MAJESTY-1a the Spa-
nish Government, was in itselt calculated to conci-
liate that Government, and to give it increased im-
portance in the estimation of Spain, and of -all Eu-
rope, and there can be no doubt that_ the cundutl of
Lord WELLESLEY was such as to confirm -every fa-
vourable sen:iment in that Government, and in the
•
minds of the Spanish people.'

scarcely a common blacksmith who does not
know that the English iron has of late years
been brought to such pertettion, as to ' answer
all the purposes of 'SWedish iron, and. that *the im7
porfation of the latter in consequence thereof, has
greatly decreased. Were this not the case, what a la-
mentable condition would we be in when the Swedish

ports are,Shut against us ? But if Swedish iron was in-
dispensably necessary for ship-building, we will ask
wi,etiier Swedish iron sent from Liverpool, (where
immense quantities used to be imported) to Milford,
or Swedish' iron sent from London to Plymouth, and
from Plyrnooth to,Mil ford, could be laid at the latter
place at the cheapest rate ?
Why, my good. Sir, will you still harp upon the
old string, and make poor BARALLIER a Catholic in
spite-of-himself? Def:end upon it, sagacious Sir, that

swim -as well, her seams will be caulked as tight,
her bread-room will smell as sweet; as if she fiad
been built by an orthodox Protestant. But then,
