shoUld the defects of which we have already spoken be cor-
rected in a future edition, by a little more attentiou to the
tecbuicalititzs of book-making, and a revision of some parts of
the style, which is at times perversely or provokingly care-
less, the Work itself will have a standard place in all collec-
tions of voyages and travels; a place which it will fully merit
by the industry and ardour of research, conspicuous through-
out, as well as by the spirit, vivacity, and good sense of the.

SPANISH -PAPERS;

[From the Vittoria Paper of the 11th of January.]
However difficult it appears to settle a solid
peace whilst Buonaparte is in existence,• if seem*
indubitable that they are treating about it. In
respect to the intelligence from France, it is said
that Buonuparte has stated, in a message to the
Senate, that it Was
,necessary to admit the prone.,
sitions which the Allies had presented for peace.
4Vitli regard to- England; we are assured, tha;
Lord Castlereagh was to set out for the head
quarters of the AllieS, in the North; furnished
with full powers to enter into negociations.—
At Passages there has' lately arrived a Spa-
nish officer, who is said to 'be brother to the
Conde. de Fernan Nunez, and that he brings dis.,
patches for Government. And -at Madrid there
has-arrived the' Duke 'of San Caries, who came
as far as Vicix, escot ted by Frenchmen, and brings,
we are assured, dispatches'relative to peace. We
have before us a letter 'from that capital, in which
it is stated, that the Council of State was going
to have• an extraordinary meeting, at which the
said Duke and the English Athbassadbv would as-
sist. It adds, we are easy, because nothing. can.
be concluded without the approbation' of the
Cortes. At what other period could oppressed
Spaniaills say as much'
The Vittoria paper of the 15th ofJanuary, after‘
giving the. Decree of the Ist of January, 1811, de •
daring void all acts and agreements of the King
during :his oppression Without or within Spain,
contains the following remarks ,
. -" 1n the state in which. Buonaparte, now finds
himself,' with his infamous and perfidious
t•ion,/a _new intrigue would riot be extraordinary.
We all know the man ; although he considers
himslf so great, he does not fail to have re-
course to the most - abject- and humiliating
means, - when they_ lead to that end which he
proposes. On the other side, weknow the can-
dour of our beloVed Ferdinand, his inexperience,
the want of counsel; of guide. What wonder
.would it be, should the Corsican seduce him, and
by-deceit or by violence oblige him, to sign a con-
tract Spaniards, let its be on our guard there
is scarcely one among us who does not under-
stand the value of the treaties and promises of
Buonaparte ; who does not comprehend his views,
which are to separate us at' any ex pence from Our
allies, in order to smooth -his dilliculties in this
quarter,- proceed with all 'his forces to the Rhine,
and afterwards return with the same to oppress us.
Should he succeed in embroiling us among oily-
selves, so much the better for him. 'Let us b© on
our guard, Spaniards. This is ' all the con-intent
we shall make at present upon the decree, and-to
which the mysterious and suddcn arrival of 'the
Duke of S. Carlos,at Madrid has given
