A.srEcnoTE.—When Mr. TimmAs SHERIDAN,
son of the late celebrated ItteHARD 1311IN4LEY
SHERIDAN, Was candidate for the representation
of a Cornish Borough, he told his father OA if
he succeeded he should place a label on his fore-
head with the words " to let," and side with the
party that made the best offer. " Bight, Tom,"
said the father, " but don't forget to add the
word uttfurnighed."
Mu. PITT.---This great man, who was qua -
fied to be a wit, as well as a Statesmen, of the first
order, being in company with the late Duchess of
GORDON, who spoke the Scottish dialect in the
broadest manner, she told him that some of her
family had gone to France, and was asked by
him why she was not of the party. She said in
answer that it was very awkward to be in a
country and not know the language. " Why,
said Mr. PITT, drily, your Grace has not found
any such inconvenience in England.
The tragedy of Julian, announced for repre-
sentation this evening at Covent-Garden, is the
avowed production of Miss Merroun, a Lady
whose poetical talents have been displayed hi
many beautiful works, and whose private quali-
ties are held in the highest esteem, Every friend
to genius and virtue must therefore wish success
to the dramatic production of so very 0-tamable a
character.
There are rumours of differences hi the two
Cabinets of Drury-lane and Covent-garden,which
are likely to be attended with new removals
among the acting Officers.
What is become of Miss WILSON, who so ra-
pidly and yet so deservedly arose into the highest
musical celebrity ?—lt is needless to say that we
already possess Miss PATON, Miss STErHcris,and
other distinguished Performers, us the
have a right to expect the hest talents that can
be attained, and we can hardly expect that any
will excel those of Miss Wlt.sor4.

•Madrid' letters, of. a- hilt political character, ;
skpress. the great satisfaction felt by all those
ititerested in the. welfare of the Peninsula, at the
total defeat of the attempts to prevail. on the
Spanish Government to grant concessions, on the ,
plea of preVenting the comencement of hostilities.
Every overture has been rejected -in the most
manly manner, and, in, fact, this result might
have been expected from the very commence-
ment, if the past occurrences iit!Spain had only
!bee• •
n remembered, and' the national character
, •
-welltonsidered. Even if the executive rind the
Cortes had been willing to listen to modifications
in the Constitution, the 'people, who have arms
.their hands, would not have seconded them,
aild• in particular *the -army would never have
coUselited to the chauge, commanded, as it is, by
men who were once the victims of despotism and
itigratude, and are 'consequently now resolved to
'defend their liberties to' the last extrernity. The
arrangements for the defence of the country are
latt-cle,'and they' will be rendered extremely
ef-
.tective. Mina is to have tne command of Ca-
talonia, with an army •of 40,000 men, in five
divisions.. ' Ballasteros is , to. have tinder his or-
ders the military districts of .Aragon, NavSrre,-
and• Biscay,. with a force equal to from 40 to
50,000. men; and he left Madrid on the 25th
ult. to take the command and organize his corps
tPariate. Two corps of reserve are to be formed,'
them: in Old and the other in New Castile, the
first commanded by Count de Abisbal, and the
second by General Morillo. Their united force
is .to be equal to 50,000 men, In addition to
the above, the militia' will be. generally or-
ganized, and us most of them were in actual
service during the lite- war, great reliance is'
placed oti their co-operatiOn".. Iu fact, the Madrid
letters up to the 4th inst. speak not only of the
great enthusiasm that prevailtamong all classes, and
their firm determination to perish rather than sub-
mit to any humiliation;: hut also of the great and
successful efforts of the Government in the prepara-
tions going forward'.. They find infinitely more fa-
cilities than they expected, in the devotion of the
people, and. their determination to make every
'sacrifice and' submit to 'every privation, 'rather
than.yield even in the smallest point. The de-
termination of the Cortes to remove to Cordova,.
Arises out of no immediate dread of the advance
'of the French i• this measure forms part of the
peculiar plan of operations the Spaniards intendi
to pursue, if attacked. It is not on the frontiers.,
%Litt the main defence will be 'made. The Go.

This city has become a complete theatre of itt-
trigues, .and the hat-bed of parties, whose

We present the French papers of"the 12th rind
13th inst. and from them we extract a' kind of
expose or declaration of an official nature% we pre-
sume, on the entrance of the French armies into
Spain. This is, indeed, not an address to the
Spanish nation :' we should rather term` it in de-
rision, a thinking aloud,, or soliloquy of Louis
XV111.% which he meant toy be heard by all the
States of Europe!. It reminds us of Hotspur
reading the letter. " The French' troops are
" good, the Spanish naught : the Cortes will
" fly ; but the French will have no need to
" pursue them. The oppressed party in Spain
will 'rise of itself (being now kept down
44' by 'the weaker), and Overthrow the friends
"of the. Constitution. France, it is true,
" will obtain possession of the Peninsula,
44 and therefore will have, all the appearance of
44 a triumphant conqueror excited by ambition :
" but she will show by the manner in which 'she
cc,uses her conquest that she only seeks the es-
" tablishment of order and legitimacy." What
insolence ! what confidence I.—we hope we shall
be enabled to say futile and unfounded confi-
dence : but what shame and ridicule, should
the Bourbons fail in a task which they here
describe as so easy ! At least% according to their
own`' statement, they can gain no glory by the
enterprise : they have none to lose; they there-
fore stake their existence upon the infatuated
vanity of prescribing, rules of government

" There is no question now of the sacrifice of libe-
.
" ral institusions, nor of foreign urterrention% nor,
44 in a word, of any thing that can compromise the
4' interests or wound the honour of Spain."' No :
France only demands that the Spaniards shall
substitute one mode of acting for another in the
internal government of their country. But what
is foreign intervention—what is wounding the
honour of a country—if these propositions are
not ? There is one assertion that can be quali-
fied by no other appellation than the term false.
hood. It is said that " all the Governments of
" Europe are united in a common wish—that of
44 destroying or controlling (comprimer) the
44 enemy." Now, whatever may be the case with
other Governments—whatever may be the wish
of the Russian Autocrat, or of the Regulator of
Italy---it is certain that neither the English
people nor the English Government approves of
the invasion of Spain ; and. all' that can be ex-
pected from the latter is,- that it does not move
in defence of the Spaniard's, In the mean time%
" Timings ill begun must be ill maintained."
The English journals which contain even the. ac.
count of the dinner given here in London to the
Spanish Ambassador have been seized by the,
police. This is the liberty which the Bourbons
of Franco, would introduce into Spain. But if
'they had the power,. what would they do to that
country the subjects of which gave• the dinner ?
'They would not smother the reports of such fes-
tivities at a distance : they would nip them here
in the bud.-

[MORNING POST.]
The Navy Estimates were last night voted by
the House of Commons, On this occasion Mr.
Hume gave a very neat sample of that accuracy
which has lifted him above all those who have
been opposed to Ministers for the last 30 years.
Desiring to abolish the office of Paymaster of,
Widows' Pensions, he 'wished the dirties of it to
be transferred to another establishment, and
supported this recommendation by referring
to a letter written some 'years ago by Mr.
Croker, in which, according to the Hon. Mem-
ber. for Aberdeen, it was stated that the offices
of Paymaster of Widows' Pensions and Treasurer
of the Navy were formerly held by the same ia,
dividual. Mr. Crokericontradicted this ; and it
appears the Honourable Gentleman had advanced
that which was.directly opposed to the fact. Mr.
Croker, instead of 'saying that the situation in
question had been held by the Treasurer of the
Navy, mentioned that it had been held by a
Navy-Paymaster, whom it expressly declared
to have been (us connected with the Widows'
Pensions) 44 independent of the Treasurer, and
64 even' a check 'on person with
a moderately .bad memory, and' indifferently.
weak capacity, could' hardly have nriStakete
thus ; but' strange 'to tell, Mr. Hume made the
blunder in the teeth of a declaration in the same
document; that any person connected with the,
'Navy Might be Paymaster -of the Widows' Pen»
siOns,'teXcepting--:-exCenting only, the Treasurrei
of the' Navy !11--After this we think Mr.
Hume'slalentfor mistaking can never' again be

defeat, but it was only to rally on the first op.
portunity. Victory could not subdue, or re..

peated misfortunesdismay them.. The peasant of
Arragon or Navarre, accustomed to no comforts,
and experienced in a life of hardship, rose from the
bare ground where he slumbered, and clad in his
mantle of sheep-skins, and armed with his long
gun and dagger, met the startled invaderat every
defile and passage. The villages were abandoned,
the country laid waste, the population retired to
the mountains, from whence they again pured
on the scattered detachments of the invader,
annihilating them, or cutting off every strag-
gler. Where open force could not avail, the
inhabitants dissembled ; they pretended amity
to the • French soldiers, and 'when buried in
sleep and wine, introduced the guerilla bands
from without and sacrificed them in their beds.
The very women mingled in the warfare ; they
met the French soldiers with reproaches,
loaded the muskets for the men, or hurled huge
stones on the invaders' heads. When
Madrid was in full possession of the French,
and Murat had swept its streets with can-
non—when St. Sebastian, Pampeluna, Badajoz,
and its strongest fortresses and towns were in
Napoleon's hands, the Spanish people were
wholly unsubdued ; each province threw off the
yoke and acted for itself; and, at the hour when
Spain appeared most manacled by conquest, she
presented a hidden front of universal resistance ;
her people rose as one man, and France never
held an inch of ground beyond the spot on which
her troops trode.

(SSORWING
The Speech of the King of Spain—or more
properly of the Executive .Government, on' the
opening of the Ordinary Cortes, puts out of con-
temptation the possibility of any compromise
between the Spaniards and the French Minis-
try. Even the change of Ministry at Madrid,
if that has really been effected, would alter
nothing. The men whose • names are given in
the new nomination are discribed as equally
hostile to any compromise with those who have
been dismissed. M. Flores-Estrada, nominated
to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is well known
in this country, where he found an asylum during'
the reign of despotism ; highly respected by the
most eminent persons of the two great parties
here. lie is the author of several tracts of great
depth and talent, and is one of the most inflex-
ible adherents of the Constitution of 1811.—
One important consequence may be expected
from his accession to the Ministry—the ac-
knowledgment by Spain of the independence
of South America. We find this measure sue.
nuously recommended by him 10 a work which
he ptrblished in 1818. It is doubtful, however/
whether the change of Ministers has been carried
into effect. The private accounts, stating that
the Cortes' subsequently re-established the dis.,
mined Ministers! are as yet without contradie.
tion or confirmation.. But it is scarcely ma-
terial who are the Ministers. Much of the
political power,. and almost the,, whole of
the moral power of the state, resides in the
Cortes, and it is from them, therefore,. that the'
march of the Executive Government will take
its direction: Now tire temper and character of
the Cortes is already proved, even in their seeond
Sitting. The first expression of this body was
(,surprise, not unmingled with rebuke, because'
the Ministers were not prepared to state what
measures they had taken to secure the seat of
Government and the person of the King, in a
place of more strength and safety than Madrid.
A peremptory order followed for a report to that
effect on the next day, the 3d inst. 'rho Ministers
stated that they had experienced difficulties—
on the par! of Ferdinand doubtless. Should
thii unhappy Sovereign persist in thwarting the
councils of the country, it is probable that some
energetic measure, which may give a new and
ominous character to the politics of Spain,
must be the consequence. The suggestion
of a Regency Was already thrown out in
the Cortes- The idea of continuing the seat
of Government at Madrid would be ridiculous—.
a place more open than a village. There can be
no doubt of King Ferdinand's real motive for
wishing to remain there.

and was compelled to oppose.
The schemes of external violence, aggression and aggran-
disement evinced and pioiecuied by France, we say, were the
causes that awakened the energies of this country, and forced
hex into war. When France declared war against Germany
and Prussia, in the summer of 1792, Great Britain distinctly
and frankly informed the French Government, that she was
determined to maintain a strict neutrality. She maintained
this neutrality in the most faithful manner—so faithfully that,
according to Mr. Fox (Speech, House of Commons, Jan. 17,
1793) " when Savoy was wrated from the King of Sardinia,
the answer of this Court (Great Britain) was a fiat denial to in-
terfere in procuring its restoration." " I defy contradiction,"
said Mr. Pitt, House of Commons, February 12, 1793, " when
I assert that the strictest neutrality was observed.". France, in
all her madness and disregard for truth, never was able, or
even tried to adduce one act to prove the contrary. The silence
for several months, of their Minister, Chauvelin, at our Court,
is the moat convincing Proof •of the Net Professing tnoderis- •
don, and desire for external conquest, France, neverthelest,
at the same time, conquered Savoy, and made it the 84th de-
partment of France—Nice, and made it the 85th department._',
overran the Netherlands, and, violating a treaty to which she'
was herself a chief guarantee, she sent an armed fore up the
Scheldt to attack the Citadel of Antwerp, laid the navigation
of that river open, by which llollend was placed at her mercy,
and the Thames became open to naval inroads at her pleasure.*
Great Britain, also a guarantee to the same treaty, perceiving
,her security and independence thus menaced and placed in
jeopnedy, remonstrated with France, through her Minister
Chauvelin and his Secretary Talleyrand. Britain was an.
swered with derision, defiance, and a bold avowal, that trea-
ties and the law of nations must yield to' the force of circum-
stances—to the law of Nature—the new French code.—
" France," said 'Mr: Pitt, Feb. 12th, 1793, "to set up a new

their own to all the nations of Europe."
Lord Grenville, in note dated Dec. 31, 1792, and which
does him immortal honour, inforined M. Chauvelin, that how.
ever lightly such proceedings might be viewed by his Govern-1
ment, that they were looked upon as matters of deep importance
by this country—that Great Britain would ever be ready to op-
possi with all her forces such aggressions and aggrandisement,
and that if Fiance really wished to maintain the relations of
Peace wAlt her', .France ' must renounce her views of aggres-
icon abdaggrandisement, confine herself within her own terri-
torietr, without insultiiig other Governments, without disturbing
their tranquility and without violating their rights." The re-
quest was nos y' specific, but just, With their characteristic
arrogance,. however, the answer returned justified and aggra-

Vie choice could not be difficult. M. Chauvelin was without
delay informed, thatsatisfactory'explanations regarding these
points could only be' received or' attended to. M. Chauvelin
then, with that consurhate audacity which distinguish the French

si.6"Nnedonetil`
the 24th of Jantiary intelligence reached London that Louis
XVI, wet miirtiered—ctit off, said Mr. Fax (borsting the tram.
Inds of party and eying way to. his best feelings): House of
Corn, Feb. 1, /70, by an act " inhuman and unjust—.as dis-
hraceful to justice and humanity as any act which the page of
history recoided—it was one of the cruelest and most inlwman
acts trust had been perpretated in the history of the world, and
could in no respect be justified or even paliated." Upon re-
ceipt of this intelligence, Af. Chauvelin, who had been accre-
'dited as the Minister of the Ring; demanded that fie should be
recognized los the Minister of the Republic (Speech, Mr. Dun-
February 12, 1793) which was refused, and Chauvelin in-
formed, that as he had no explanation to Offer upon the subject
of the complaints made, and as the Power which the Bntiaii
Government only recognized in France was no more—.cut off by
violence and injustice, so 51, Chauvelin's presence could no
longer be tolerated in Britain, He, accordingly set out, but
such Was the chicanery of his Government, that, though he
carried away all his Papers with him, the Convention hail the
audacity to send Maret, under pretence of looking after them
and to hold a communication with our Government, but said
Mr. Pitt, in the Debate and Speech already referred to, he never
made a single proposal. At last found intriguing with the Re.
volutionists here, he was ordered away from the C;ountry. On
the Ist Feb.'l793 'war was declared by France against Great
Britain and Holland—declared at Paris on the very day that
Dumourler, by command of the Convention, had appointed,
after an application male and readily acceded to by our Go.
vernrnent, to meet Lord Auckland -on the frontiers of the Ne-
therlands to see if possible and continue such negotiations as
would preserve peace. • The meeting of coarse came to nought.
On the 11th Feb. war was declared by this Country, and, before
the close of the year, Brissot, the • leader of the Convention and
twenty-one Deputies were-guillotined in one day. One heavy
charge . against them was; their •having wantonly plunged
France into a war with Britain.

Previous to the DeeliTraii-onof War, however, and the cot-
,
respontlefice.with-M. Chauvelin; the famous Decree of the 19th
November wati issued, offering asslitance to all people who
should rebel against their lawful Sovereigns. The attempted
explanation of this by the French Obvemment, was even more
dangerous than the decree itself. Inundated with incendiaries
sent over by Prance, Great Britain was forced to have recourse
to the Alien Bill, which, though an internal and municipal re-
gulation, the Convention dared to threaten, if passed, they
would consider as an infringement of 'existing treaties, and an
act of hostility. . Their menaces were, disregarded. . France soon
after laid an embargo upon all British ships in her ports, and
thus matters stood at the death of the King.
Oreat.Britain, therefore, was; left no alternative but war` or
submission. " The Freneh,". said Mr. Pitt (House of Corn.
Feb. 12, 1793) " retbse to tolerate on the face of the earth., any
opinions-but their oWn. They not only dictate to you principles,
but passions anti feelings, which you. must observe, upon the
pain of their declarin war against you. You must neither love
nor hate; neither re dice nor weep, but do. as they please."—
To such a pitch did t is domineering audacity rise, that, when
the Spanish Ambassador, in his official character, appeared at
t
the bar of the Convention„during the sitting which condemned
Louis to the scaffold, with a letter; supposed to supplicate mercy
for that unfortunate Monarch, the Convention- hot only refused
to receive it or hear him, bytatising to the order of the day, but
a Deputy—a monster, .sutmed Antan, proposed, that , they
should instantly declare war against Spam, for the meditated
haranue of her Ambassador I" Truth, law, and justice were
equally contemned and despised by this assembly of blood-
thirsty Atheists. On the 19th, sitting as accusers, jury, judge,
and executioners, they- decreed that .Louis should have an
appeal to the people -from- their decision. On the 20th
they decreed he should be Sent to' the block, without any
appeal, and the tilted days' respite supplicated by that Salle-
relfim, to prepare himself for death, was rejected with contempt
and scorn, They accused , the Governments of the Continent
orentering into a treaty to partition 'France," and fabricated a
treaty to support their iteettsation,4lte treaty of Pilnitz, which,
said -Mr. Pitt as they irmduced It, WO a complete forgery.—
They accused this
.country ofletiguingitself with those Powers
for the same rpose, and thotigh they'never could produce
t any thing but eir Ipse disit for this-
