The following selections from the Spanish Papers
afford no unfavourable specimens of the style and
'sentiments of the Spanish Writers :

'Mk GRANDEES.
About a year ago, a Deputy observed in the
Cortes—We are not in revulution, though we have
resolved; that is to say, that, compelled by the
n:-cessily of the moment, we have sometimes acted
wiiii the ,neeessary.energy ; but this state of vigour
is HOT, kept up., and we are ready to fall into that
apathi Which is
.endeMical in the ranks and classes
that ought to fix the public opinion. It appears that
some, Wily persuaded of the successful issue of the
war, think only of preserving their estates, their
privileges, and even their prejudices and errors, in
order that they may enjoy them in times of tranqui-
lity ; and that others, convinced that at last we must
be subdued, fear to compromise themselves with the
French, by endeavouring .to deliver us from them.
How many command in such a manner to-day,
that they may hereafter say to Napoleon, " I only
obeyed the Spanish Government by compulsion ; I
have brought it into di,credit; I nave opposed all
its regulations; I have embarrassed the execution of
ev-,ry thing it ordered !"

The epoch of our redemption will be, when,
,neither in the Cones, nor iu 4he Regency, nor in
first places, shall there be an indjvidual whose
fortumt does not depend upon the success of our
cause, and who,e head is not proscribed by our
ty rants.

LOS EGoISTAS, or VIVA FERNANDO SEPTIMO.
It,p'pear9 that in the opinion of some we have
no country, except the ground which their houses
rover, and that there are no other Spaniards besides
themselves and their families. If they be well pro-
vided at home, they care not how much the army
want plovisi.n.s. While the selfish poltroon is re-
posing on his soft, luxurious bed, he cares not a
straw that 'the Spanish soldier must sleep on the
bare ground in the midst of winter. While the
latter is fightieg, the former is superintending a
eanquet The one sheds his blood to the sound
of warlike instruments—the other gives his toasts
with a three 't imest [nee, and Viva PernandoSeptinio.
Twenty purseS have just been carried to the house
of Don N.-tfte net profit of a commercial transac-
tion. Well, it, is hoped he will give something
handsome to General Ballasteros's army !—Come,
friend, the hail ?.--.-Mercy on me! exclaims the
me. :.hint, knitting his eye-brows, that's impossible!
You will surely give a third ?—A third ! Lord, how
shocking ! How do you think I can afford it ?
Well, then, give a thousand doubloons. _A thou-
sand ! Ave Maria ! Senor, would you ruin me ?
I shall give twenty-five, and that I can du only for
once ; but—Vivu Fernando Septimo.
Whither is Don Flora going with so resolute an
air ? To take a musquet and defend the country—
Certainly. He is an excellent youth, a great pa-
triot, and is, besides, descended from some of those
heroes of former times, who struck such terror into
the Moors. Doubtless he is inflamed with military
ardour. Sec how he flies to enrol himself under
the Spanish banners. But, all! I mistake. He
has entered a gaming-house—the ['Lazo Bank is his
country—be siakt,s ten ounces on the first card—
the Gozmans, the Gonzalvos, and Toledo, sigh in
their tombs, .bui hL listens to nothing except the
grave announcement_ of the bankei—Ace and
Knave i—Six and King—and still—Viva Fernando
Septimo.

HAMILTON CROFTON.—The following is stated
in a Country Riper to have been the substance of the
Recorder's charge to the Jury, on the arraignment
of Mr. Hamilton Crofton.—

" prisoner must be acquitted ; but I wish
to state to you, that every body here as well as the
Public at large na iy understand the reason why she
prisoner must be acquitted ; in this and every other
case of a similar nature; it mast be shewn, by evi-
dence, that the articles in question were feloniously
stolen—it is „not sufficient- to presume they were
stolen. The: unaccountable absence of Mr. Brad-
bury, who was the only person capable of proving
the f:i6t of the.felony having been committed, leaves
the July no alternative."—Bradbury, who was
bound over to prf.secwe, in the sum of 1001. of
course toileits ht, recognizance. He is pursuing
his protesiional avocations in Ireland.
