has become wearisome to ihe ear and indifferent wo

the mind.

Yet that the %voila may not waft warn-

ings, every year produces soluc more iiortentous, to.
rouse intatitatiou from its letilaegy. Lct us estimate

the policy of Bunt-lap:tile by a consideration of the

. -
state Of S aiii. The otj.er cOnqaests wire perhaps
necessary to his power. 'those nations ware nu-
vitillitig to Sacrifice their interests and submit to his

ruinous despolism..--But Spain, in what manner

had she actteti ?

" Spain, long oppressed by a variety of abuses,
enfeebled by a train of corruptions, and in the very
dotage oldesponsw,,could soil boast, " that the sun

never set on iler dominions

An cn::rvateticourt,

though persohally bound to avenge the destruaion
of the principal branch of their family, was otie of
.the first to conclude a peace with the revolutionary

government of France. FroM that perjod her blood
and treasure have been sacrificed Ail the cause of

that country. Without single objek'.l of her own
to gain; she sent her fleets to be.sacrificed, ex,,,esed
her colonies to capture, and poured the wealth of
America into the insatiable jaws of France.
To Napoleon the subservience has still been
greater. The sword of Francis I. was surrendered
to him, and if there be any choice among hutni-

liations, one of the last which a nation sh—ould be

willing to suffer, is the setrrender Of national trophies
avittory. In aid cy his personal ambition, she sent
the flower of her- army to the North of Europe, to

obee his orders, while, with more than Trojan in-
fatuation, She admitted his troops into her citadels.
" He was, in the mean time, carrying distrust and
enmity into the deluded family of the Sovereign. A
scene of intrigues and changes followed, confused
and mysterious, the relation of which conjures up
ideas of secret perfidy and murder, till we seem op-
pressed, as if breathing the pestif-roes atmosphere
of a dungeon. He approaches to. thcirontiers, and
invites them to repose confidence Si him, and sArer
him so be the disinterested arbiter Ot their difficulties.
Promises of friendship and good-will ate sho,Cered
upon t hem, andGrandOrlicers of the Legion of Honour
are employed in giving the most solemn pledges of
good faith and security, to hasten the coafirmation of
the blackest treecheiy. With incredible infatuation
this bewildered family and their bsse favourites, vain-
ly confiding in him Who owed them so much, enter
the territories of France—no friend to warn them of
the certain deStinv that awaits them. The guards
- •
one passed—the last of the Isourtions are prisoners to
this soldier of chance, and the eltipire of Spain and
the Indies; their fortune, and their fame were lost
for ever
" He cannot allege that he has done this -to be-
nefit Spain, and tenovate her power, because it i.s no-
torions,
.he could have ditated what measu' r.s he
pleased to the Spanish Court. The SalllC men who were
held in disgraCe by the Minister who had been so
long the creature of France, were banished from all
concern in affairs, because they wished to introduce
reforms. They are now at the head of their
couniry-tnen who have resisted the invader,
and who may yet drive him from their territory.—.
The rriernorable defence of Se.rragossa is a noble
contrast to the base treason and cowardice whit
which so many cities in other parts of Europe have
been ceded. Let the patriotic Spaniards persevere.
What cause isdesperate, when the situation of Ame-
riCa in the winter of 4776 is reineinbered ?
" If Abet]; nay countrymen; neither the rights of
independent States, nor the strongest claims of
stria alliance, and personal obligation.; mit her
the fear ,of exposure; por any respect for the opi-
nion of mankind, can deter this man from prose-
cuting his plan of aggrandizement, what reasons
haVe we to think ourselves secure ?--Our distance,
the- bravery and patriotism of.. our Citizens,, w ill
be
~t,he,anseve.r. The distance, the rolling ocean,
are the impediments with which drivelling, self-
Satistied.pOliticians have atla ed our solicitude. Have
we not seen)iis armies besieging a town on the Baltic,
di eating a peace to Russia at Tilsiy,vnile another army
was at the same moment menacing-Sicily with inva-
sion ; and do we talk of distance ? If .;tiglasid were
conquered, would not her navy; which is now the
first obstacle, become:: the ready means to transport his
legions to our shores ;' unless we could be persuaded,
that by sparing him that'trauble, 4tie should obtain
better tents ? From the_ bravery and patriotism
of our citizens, the nebiest efforts would indeed be
expeeted ; but even -bravery and patriotism may at
last:be crushed by numbers. Have we not reason to
fear, too, that his pioneers would be readyto so .v
vision, acrd deprecate resistance ? Or, can we flatter
ourselves that we are the only nation he has neglected
to supply with spies and traitors ? That his Ministers
who" seem iustinetively to know how and whet) to,
dupe imbecility, and it a llngle latent spark Of trea-
chery exist, are sure to strike it out, have left our
country unassailed by our arts ?—Let some of oar
Newspapers be examined for the answer."

We have to recor4 two melancholy, accidents,
which.,happened thesatne day, in two parishes ad.
joining to Holderness; to two young fernile friends.,
On Thursday, as the, maid servant of MI. FEAR,NE,
at Flinton, was milking a cow, another 'eyed on
the one she was, engaged with, which slipping away,
the tore-foot of the other came, with all the weight
of the anima), upon the body of the young woilian,
and was pressed into her bowels. When she was
taken up, nearly -the whole contents, of the ot-iy
came out; and, though every surgical assistance was
afforded her, she languished till the next day; and
died of a mortification. The.other had been on the
side,of a corn' stack, forking sheaves;.. her foot slip-
ped, and, in coining-down, st;e fell upon the prpogs
of the fork, which entered her bowels, and %Oita
the. fork was withdrawn, a large pdrtion of the in-
testines followed ; thdy •were Carefully `feturned,
and the wound securo4l/ il but sho was not expetled is
