appetites of the most profligate portion of the
community.

We should, accuse ourselves of a want of pro-
per feeling towards a patriotic and heroic people,
if we contented ourselves with a mere recital of

the circumstances attending the splendid spec-
tacle which took place last night at Cove'ut-
Garden Theatre, in honour of the glorious I
struggle which the Spaniards are maintaining to
support the independence of their country against
the iniquitous attempts of France to throw over
them again the chains of Despotism and Super-
stition, notwithstanding the endeavours of cer‘
tain bigotted Journals to check the sympathy of
the British Nation, and to deter our country-
men from manifesting those sentiments) which net
only do honour to themselves, but to human
nature. indeed, those who do not sympathize
with the cause of oppressed. and insulted Spain,
are unworthy of being ranked among human
beings. The cause of Spain is the cause of man-
kind for ever, and if one nation were to be per-
mitted to trample upon another, there would be
a diz,solution of the bonds of Society, and op-
pression and spoliation, through all the subordi-
nations of life, would receive a sanction from
so flagitions an,example. But the splendid assem-
blage of persons of the highest and most respecable
ranks on this occasion, may be considered as an
honourable attestation of the general sentiments
of the British people. It is not a little honour-
able to the principles and feelings of our fair
countrywomen that they formed a prominent
feature in promoting the patriotic festival, and
therefore a place was properly assigned for the
LADY PATRONESSES who were chiefly instru-
mental in carrying it into effect. These Ladies
had also, in addition to the consciousness of hav-
ing been active agents in expressing their admira-
tion of Spanish Heroism, and their zeal for the
eventual triumph of Spanish Independence, to
view in their country women such an assemblage of
female beauty and elegance as we may fairly ven-
ture to say cannot be paralleled all over the world,
inlisted in theglorious cause. But it was a prouder
gratification to the company in general to ob-
serve, that, however parties may differ on poli-
tical grounds, they will all unite in the cause of
National Independence, for men of all Parties
were present, and obviously sympathized in a
common feeling of anxiety for the welfare of
Spain, and of indignation and abhorrence of
Gallic atrocity.—lf the pecuniary profits of the
night can afford but little assistance to the suf-
fering Spaniards, the feelings thus manifested
by the freest People on Earth cannot but ani-
mate them in the glorious attempt to secure their
independence, and will brand their enemies with
shame to the latest generation of mankind.

The following is a Letter addressed by the
Queen of Pon'room: to her son DON MIGUEL
:
" My Sox—lt is necessary to act—unsheath your sword,
and prove that there is royalty in your veins. The times are
come when one must know how to come down sometimes from
the throne in order to labour as a King (pour jilir metier, de
roi ) in the public place, and in the barracks. Be worthy of
yourself, so you shall be worthy of the crown which you will
one day wear. Attack then thts infamous Constitution which
oppresses it. I have prepared every thing—you are expected—
lose not a minute—march—you will triumph. I protect you
with my blessing.

" CHARLOTTE JOACHLUE.'

The disease which terminated the life of Sir
It. 11. 13Lossrr, Lord Chief Justice of Calcutta,
on the Ist of February, after a few days of suf-
fering, was entirely unconnected either with the
climate or with the voyage. It was ascertained
by dissection to have been a disease in the
lower intestines, which must have been of very
long continuance, and which the faculty were
surprised had not much earlier put an end to
I his life.
