DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES

The armistice between the Prussians and the Danes
expired on the 19th.
Accounts from Copenhagen announce that there
had been negotiations between Colonel BONIN, on the
part of Prussia, and General HENDEMANN on the part
of the Holsteiners, against Denmark.
HENDEMANN, the Danish Commander, de-
clared that any attack of the Danes on the Prus-
sian forces would be considered a declaration of war.
The Danish general declared that he would attack
the insurgents wherever he should meet with them
in Schleswig; but he proposed an armistice of four-
teen days to allow of a diplomatic settlement of the
question, but at the same time expressed his resolu-
tion only to retire step by step, acting hostilely on
the defensive against the troops advancing, and that
such advance would be considered by Denmark as a
casus belli, and that orders would be immediately
given to the Danish sea forces to blockade Prussian
harbours and capture Prussian vessels. No answer
had been received to the proposal for an armistice
when the post left Copenhagen.
The Danes are strengthening their position at
Schleswig, behind the remains of the old Danish wall,
erected in former times to protect Schleswig from
invasions from the south.

There is a general desire expressed by the Germans
to obtain a few vessels of war to act against the
Danes, and subscriptions have been entered into at
Rensburg for this purpose. The coasts of Holstein
are quite defenceless ; and if the parties do come to
blows, Denmark will do great damage to her enemies.
Kiel, which is one of the most thriving and populous
towns of Holstein is completely open to any attack
from the sea, and vessels of war may come up to the
quays, and yet the greatest exertions on the part of
the Germans can scarcely accomplish any results
before the mischief be done, should a war ensue.

RENDSBURG, Arum 21.—This forenoon the ad-

vanced post were engaged for six hours. The
Danes 1,500 strong had come from Eckenforde, and
were opposed by about 500 Germans, who even-
tually drove them back at the point of the bayonet,
with considerable loss.

The immediate advance of the German troops is
confi4ently expected; hesitation on the part of
Hanover being now at an end.
An attack on Frederickstadt is anticipated, as the
Danes have been strengthening their positions in
that neighbourhood.

LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 25, 1848.

Precarious as the destinies of Schleswig still con-
tinue to be, the right of Den mark to the allegiance
of its population no longer remains undecided. Talk
as the imaginative professors of Germany may about
the reclamation of that duchy to the Confederation,
about the. consolidation of the nationality of their
fatherland, and, above all, about the infringement of
what they are pleased to call the constitutional rights
of the Holsteiners—Europe is not going to be hood-
winked by a few sophistical platitudes, or bamboozled
by the figments of a peculative coalition. History
speaks—Time speaks—Usage speaks—the races and
generations of the continent all speak as to the poli-
tical dependence of Schleswig upon the insular and
peninsular power exercised by the Oldenburg
dynasty. From those unanimous Oracles of
Truth may be obtained the knowledge which
reveals the criminality of the pretensions raised by
Holstein, and through Holstein by the aggregate
government of the Germanic Confederation. The

THE COLoSSEIIIII.

This magnificent establishment was opened yester-
day
lor the season. During the time that it has been
closed it has unoergone a complete renovation, and
now the whole of the rooms and galleries and all the
sculptures and works of art contained in them appear
as fresh as when they were origina)iv opened for
public exhibition. 'I he cavern, the conservatories,
Swiss cottage, and the external portions are as attrac-
tive as ever, and are very deserving of a visit from
the curious and all who admire the illusions by which
art and mechanism can copy closely the appearance
of nature. Great preparations are being made to
produce a grand pictorial view of Paris, in the place
of that of London ; and the immense gallery on the
south side of the building will shortly be opened
with the exhibition of a series of moving views.
The inclemency of the weather operated to prevent the
usual number of visitors assembling; there were, how-
-1 ever, as many people in the rooms as could have been
expected.

THE DIORAMA, REGENT'S PARK.
This popular exhibition had its full proportion of
visitors, though the weather was sufficiently bad to
keep the great majority of those who generally pay
their visits on Easter Monday at home. The new
picture, " Mount .Etna," loses none of its attractions
by,being seen two or three times ; indeed, it should
be seen more than once if a correct judgment of its
merits is to be formed. The artist has not indulged
in imacination so much as some of his contempo-
raries, but has been content to give a good copy of
nature as it is : consequently, though the pi Lure has
not the attraction of a scenic or theatrical represen-

V ICI O.RIA.

The performances here were more highly seasoned
than usual in honour of the holidays. The first piece
bore the interesting title of " Rose Clinton, the Vic •
tim of Circumstantial Evidence." Mr. J. T. Johnson
enacted a young mechanic, the " victim " in question,
who is persecuted throughout the piece for a murder
and one or two robberies, of which he is innocent.
His troubles, however, end—or begin, according to
opinion—with the last scene, when he is united to
the heroine. The latter character is supported by
Miss Vincent, with her usual success; Mr. W.
Searle rendered a villain of the conventional cast
with the requisite breadth of effect; and several
comic gentlemen had opportunities of displaying
their talents. A musical drama, entitled " Jean-
nette and Jeannot, or the Conscript's Bride,"
followed. It is founded upon the recently-pub-
lished " Songs of a Conscript," which are so well
known throughout the metropolis. It is, of course,
a love story: the hero, a peasant of Picardy, is
drawn for the conscription, and the heroine expresses
in her farewell song to him her fears " that he'll for-
get all the promises he made " directly he is out of
her sight. He withstands temptation, however, and
eventually is united to Jeannette, who has meantime
refused several brilliant offers. Considerable amuse-
ment was created, and not a little confusion, by a
noisy and sustained demand by the gallery of a
hornpipe from Jeannot, which a pathetic appeal from
that gentleman, who represented the incongruity of
such a proceeding in a French subject, scarcely
sufficed to silence. The audience were as numerous
and noisy as could be desired, and occupied every
part of the theatre, not only within sight of the
stage, but in places where no part of the perform-
ances could possibly be seen.

GERMANY

AND

THE NORTHERN STATES.

PRUSSIA.

Berlin is perfectly tranquil. The failure of the
ouvricrs to get up a demonstration on Sunday was so
signal that it is not probable they will be again in-
duced to parade their weakness.

On the day on which the monster procession of
workmen was to have taken place an attempt was
made to create an enzeitte in one of the gaols. It
appears that the minor class of criminals confined
in the Berlin House of Industry (Arbeitshann), dis-
satisfied with the food allotted to them, as well as
the refusal to remit portions of the punishments to
which they have been condemned, rose in insurrec-
tion against their gaolers, overpowered them, and broke
from the house into the court-yard, where they tore
up the paving-stones and commenced forming a bar-
ricade, when the aid of the burgher guard was
called for. The latter attacked them, and in a few
doubt a severe punishment will be

be permitted to pass through the Prussian states
unless his passport has been vised by a Prussian
Ambassador. This has been notified to him by the
President MINUTOLI of Berlin. The Committee
of the Schleswig volunteers has announced that, as
the whole of the German contingent of the 10th
corps d'armee has arrived there, no more volunteers
will be accepted. Notwithstanding this notice,
numerous bands from the southern states are every
day passing through Cologne.
The intelligence from Posen aid Breslau conti-
nues to be very unsatisfactory. The city of Posen
has petitioned to continue a portion of Germany, and
its German inhabitants are apprehensive of a general
assassination being perpetrated upon them by the
Poles. A letter, dated the 18th, states, that a large
military force has been sent to Gratz, Buk, and
Semler, where great excesses have been committed,
it is alleged, by the Poles.
In Breslau, the magistrates are so apprehensive of
a renewal of tumults, that they have issued a procla-
mation, prohibiting the inhabitants from appearing in
the streets in case of a riot, and enjoining upon the
proprietors of the houses to keep their families and
servants within doors.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

We have received intelligence from Vienna to the
19th. The Wiener Zeitung of that date says--
"The EurEzion has accepted the resignation of
Count KOLOWRAT, who was appointed provisional
President of the Ministry un the 20th of March. The
Count had been engaged in the service of the State
above fifty years.
" His MAJESTY has acceded to the proposals of the
Germanic Diet in regard to the election of Deputies
to the German Parliament, which is to assemble in
May.
"The intelligence from Italy reaches to the 16th.
Field-Marshal RADETZE.T has concentrated all his
troops on the left bank of the Mincio. An armistice
has been determined upon, and has been observed
with the exception of a few slight skirmishes.
" The delays which have taken place may, in fact,
be ascribed to the declaration made by the British Go-
vernment to the Court of Turin. England—as we
are assured from an undoubted quarter—has not only
expressed decided disapprobation at the irruption of
King CHARLES Amisar into Lombardy, but has also
declared that if, in consequence of the late procedures
of the Kula, which are contrary to treaty, Savoy
should be separated from the Sardinian States, or
Genoa declare itself independent, he must ascribe

THE POLYTECILNIC INSTITUTION.

From the great number of persons who visited this
place in the course of yesterday, it would appear that
wither rain nor any unpleasant combination of the
elements will prevent people going where they think
they shall meet with something worth being seen or
beard. The galleries and the two theatrs were tilled
with visitors. The new theatre is a very fine room,
and well adapted for lectures or exhibitions of scien-
tific effects. The great number of models and speci-
rnens with which the institution abounds have been
re-arranged an 4 classified with proper attention to
their various characters and natures, and the bill of
fare, which consists of lectures by Dr. Ryan and
Professor Bachoffner, musical illustrations, dissolving
views, &c., affords a variety sufficient to amuse and
instruct visitors of every taste. The diving bell was
yesterday a great attraction, the seats within being
elgerly sought after by the intrepid of both sexes.
Some experiments were made with Captain Smith's
(R.N.) belt, the life and property preserver, which
were completely successful. Amongst the numerous
minor exhibitions of art were some beautiful cut
stones or seals by Mr. Giffard of various wild animals ;

THE CO.S;MORAMA, REGENT-STREET.
This exhibition was well attended by Easter visitors;
indeed, the sightseers were more than usually nume-
rous, lout riot more numerous than the merit of the
exhibiition deserved. In addition to several of the
picttures before exhibited there were several new ones
" The Palace of Versailles," taken from Le
Bosquet du Rocher, exceedingly well painted ; the
4, P:Tramids and Sphinx," from a point of view well
chosen, and by which the common-place representa-
tiou of these extraordinary objects is avoided, and a
novelty of effect produced ; the " Interior of St.
Peter's at Rome," in which the immense space of the
interior of the edifice is admirably given ; and
" Mont Blanc, from the' Village of Chaumouny," in
whic hdioramic effects are introduced. The progress
made in this class of painting within a very few ) ears
is very surprising. The representations of natural
scenery and interiors of large edifices are now given
wide great accuracy, and the eye takes in at a glance
wb at cannot be conveyed by small paintings or draw-
ings, however well painted or drawn.

HOLLAND.

The draught of the new Constitution of the King-
dom of the Netherlands was published at the Hague
on the 20th instant. The members of both Cham-
bers are to be directly elected. No qualification is
required for admission into the second Chamber,
but the members of the first must pay from 800
to 1,200 francs taxes, according to the locali-
ties. Citizens entitled to vote must contribute a
minimum of 20 francs and a maximum of 225, ac-
cording to the localities. Both Chambers are to
be renewed by thirds annually. The First Chamber
is to consist of 34 members, and the Second of
68. To be eligible to the first it is necessary to be
40 years of age, and to the second 30, to be born
in Holland, and to enjoy civil rights. The emolu-
ments of Deputies are fixed at 2,500 francs per
annum with travelling expenses. Clergymen are
to be excluded from both Chambers. The Council
of State is to be maintained, after undergoing some
reforms. The KING is inviolable, and Ministers are
responsible.
The members of the provincial states are to be
elected and renewed by thirds, like those of the
Chambers. The KING is to have the supreme direc-
tion of colonial affairs, but every second year he
must lay before Parliament a detailed account of their
administration and situation, and the Minister of that
department will be obliged to communicate to the
States-General any information they might desire
respecting the colonies.
The KING commands in chief the army and navy,
appoints, dismisses, and pensions the officers, according
to the prescriptions of the law. The Constitution
recognizes the right of citizens to hold meetings.
Seignorial rights are abolished, and lay tithes re-
deemable.
London, England, 1848-04-25

MADAME TUSSAU

In spite of the very unfavourable state of the
weather, the attractions of this exhibition drew a
numerous company together. The rooms were not
so crowded as on some more propitious occasions, but,
nevertheless, there were sufficient numbers to show
the estimation in which the curious collection of the
effigies of deal and living heroes and heroines, origi-
nals and oddities of all countries and ages, is held.
There have been several additions to the muster-roll,
the last two being M. Guizot, the French ex-Minister,
and Howqua, the celebrated Chinese tea-merchant.
Both these figures are accurate representations of
living beings ; the figure of the ex-Minister is a good
lalceness, and it is said by those who have seen the
tea-dealer that his portrait is equally correct. There
are now figures of almost all remarkable men and
women of the present day—Pius IX. and Mr. G.
Hudson, Jenny Lind, &c. The great room is ele-
gantly fitted up, and is one of the most superb apart-
ments in the metropolis.

A very singular exhibition has been opened at
No. 11, Rathbone-place, by an artist named Senor
Montanari, recently returned from Mexico. The
exhibition consists of some one hundred figures,
modelled in a kind of wax composition, and repre-
senting all classes among the creole and negro popu-
lation of Mexico. Although the majority of the
figures or groups are so diminutive as to measure
scarcely a dozen inches in height, they are formed with
such an infinite delicacy, and with such an ad-
mirable faithfulness to nature, that the ana-
tomical proportioning is, in several instances, ini-
mitable. In some of the partially naked forms the
bones and muscles are not only defined with a scru-
pulous exactness, but sometimes almost the texture
of the skin and the tracery of the various veins.
Each of these singular productions is insulated on an
appropriate pedestal, and sheltered from injury by a
glass dome. Without particularizing all of them
which may be termed especially worthy of attention,
we must mention some choice representation of
bullfighting, of hunting with the Lasso, an
exquisite statuette and likeness of one of the
most celebrated of the Indian chiefs, whose
portrait was sketched from the life by the pencil of
Mr. Catlin, at the very time when this beautiful
statue was modelled by Senor Montanari—a sym -
bolical figure of Peru standing upon a heap of golden
pieces, ingots, and doubloons, &c. &c. The colouring
of the costume is throughout as brilliant as the
form is accurate and precise. As a vivid representa-
tion of the people of Mexico, Indian, African, Eu-
ropean, and Creole, the exhibition is peculiarly inte-
resting ; and, as a collection of artistic curiosities, it
cannot but prove attractive.

THE THEATRES, &c.
DRURY-LANE.
This theatre Was well attended last night, a large
p. oportion of the audience, as is usual during the
holidays, being composed of the juvenile members of
the human' family. The performances being con-
fined to the circus, did not admit of the customary
holiday entertainments. Nevertheless, a courtesy
was shown to the season on the part of the troupe of
the Cirque National de Paris, by the introduction of
several novelties. The most striking
equestrian ballet, entitled " The Festival of Flowers,
in which four cream-coloured horses, ridden by
Mesdemoiselles Caroline, Mathilde, Florentine, and
Ducos and four bays, carrying MM. Loisset, Lam.
bert, Karll, and Ducos, exhibited an astonishing per-
fection of training in a variety of most complicated
evolutions and involutions, was a gralid„
.. In mazes intricate, convolved yet regular.
Then most when most irregular they seemed."
Each rider bore a garland of flowers, and the combi-
nations formed by the different positions of the horses,
their riders, and their garlands were extremely pleasing.
It is really surprising to witness the high state of per-
fection the managers have brought the training of
that noble animal the horse ; this was remarkable in
the performance of an elegant little blood steed, named
" Atar Gull ;" this wonderful creature appear
to an-
ticipate the wishes of its. exhibitor, M. Adolphe
Franconi, with almost human adroitness and sagacity,
it runs, jumps, dances, or marches, at his, command,
and, indeed, does almost everything but talk. An-
other novelty was the " Dance of the Four Globes, a
very astonishing feat performed by MM. Henri and
Leroy, who, lying on their backs, contrived to keep
four globes, about two feet in diameter, in constant
motion by throwing them to each other with their
hands and feet (the latter possessing an extraordinary
'prehensile property), twirling them round their
limbs,• &c. A comic scene by MM. New-come,
Sißgrist, and Bassin, called "Rognolet et Passe
Carreau," yielded in its broad fun abundant delight
to the juvenile part of the audience. The unfor4
tunate Rognolet is seized by a very small horse,
and carried away by his teeth. The "Pas des
Grosses Fetes," another novelty, is an extravaganza,
wherein MM. Henman, Newcome, and Andre be-
longing to the ancient family of Greathead, or Gros
satesta, accomplish sundry exploits upon three horses,
though encumbered with head much larger than the
rest of their bodies. The " Clown's Misfortunes"
and the " Vanquishing Clown" were short pieces,
which approached most nearly to the humour of the
English pantomime ' • but the wit wanted the broad-
Prss and raciness of the Grimaldi school. The per-
formances concluded with the " Antipodean Feats" of
M. Auriol, who (with M. sLeclair and the younger
Auriol) relieved by his eccentricities the more serious
business of the circus. In this last scene he was
surrounded by a shower of fire whilst standing upon
his head on the top of a ladder. When the perform-
ances were over, " God save the Queen" was called
for, and played by the orchestra.

No less than a dozen races were timed for this day's
amusement, eleven of which came off, affording an
amount of sport seldom witnessed in the spring. Of
course, an early start was indispensable; and thus (the
first event being fixed for twelve o'clock) many parties
who left town by the nine o'clock train, lost the pleasure
of witnessing the first three or four races. Notwith-
standing the list was so inviting, the gloomy and un-
seasonable state of the weather had a marked effect on
the attendance, which fell short, both in number and
quality, if we may judge from the preparations, and the
great importance attached to the Two Thousand Guinea
Stakes. It will be otherwise to-morrow; a brilliant
company is confidently anticipated. We have, as usual,
given the time in which the different races were run.
The stickyness of the ground will account fcr its being,
in most cases, below the average.

GERMANY

AND

THE NORTHERN STATES.

PRUSSIA.

Berlin is perfectly tranquil. The failure of the
ouvricrs to get up a demonstration on Sunday was so
signal that it is not probable they will be again in-
duced to parade their weakness.
On the day on which the monster procession of
workmen was to have taken place an attempt was
made to create an emeute in one of the gaols. It
appears that the minor class of criminals confined
in the Berlin House of Industry (Arbeitshann), dis-
satisfied with the food allotted to them, as well as
the refusal to remit portions of the punishments to
which they have been condemned, rose in insurrec-
tion against their gaolers, overpowered them, and broke
from the house into the court-yard, where they tore
up the paving-stones and commenced forming a bar-
ricade, when the aid of the burgher guard was
es die n t
called for. The latter attacked them, and in a few
minutes defeated them, took about 20 of the ring-
leaders prisoners, and carried them off to the town
gaol, where no doubt a severe punishment will be
inflicted upon them.
There was to have been a demonstrations on the
part of the working classes at Cologne on Mon-
day. No apprehensions of any disturbance were
entertained, as there was a sufficiency of Westpha-
lian troops in the town to preserve tranquillity.
A notice was published in Cologne on Saturday,
from M. SYMANSII, Member of the Polish Committee
of Berlin, to the effect that, in consequence of some
new arrangements that have been made, no Pole will
be permitted to pass through the Prussian states
unless
passport has been yield by a Prussian
Ambassador.i This has been notified to him by the
President
MINUTOLI of Berlin. The Committee
of the Schleswig volunteers has announced that, as
thewhole of the German contingent of the 10th
corps d'armee has arrived there, no more volunteers
will be accepted. Notwithstanding this notice,
numerous bands from the southern states are every
day passing through Cologne.
The intelligence from Posen and Breslau conti-

nues to be very unsatisfactory. The city of Posen
has petitioned to continue a portion of Germany, and
its German inhabitants are apprehensive of a general
assassination being perpetrated upon them by the
Poles. A letter, dated the 18th, states, that a large
force has been sent to Gratz, Buk, and
military
Satnier, where great excesses have been committed,
it
alleged,by the Poles.
In Breslau, the magistrates are so apprehensive of
ai
renewal of tumults, that they have issued a procla-
mation, prohibiting the inhabitants from appearing in
the streets in case of a riot, and enjoining upon the
proprietors of the houses to keep their families and
servants within doors.

RUSSIA.

A letter from Konigsberg, published in the gels-
burgh Impartial Correspondent of Friday night"
states that the Russian regiments which were eta"
tinned between Polangen and Georgenberg, psr
in the immediate vicinity of the frontier, but
principally about four miles inland, are said to
have moved once more to Kowno, whence
a strong Russian corps d'armee bad advanced
to Poland. The park of artillery was very consider-
able, including mortars, bcc., of the heaviest calibre.
The passage of the Niemen lasted several days, and
amongst the troops were observed many Asiatics
(Tartars and Calmucks). Travellers arrived et
Kowno were placed under the surveillance of officials
and Cossacks. The attention of the Russian Govern•
ment appears to be snore exclusively directed to P°"
land, although the Russian officials are most bitter
against Prussia.

BELGIUM.
OPENING OF THE CHAMBERS.
BRUSSELS, JUNE 26.—This afternoon, about one
o'clock, the Belgian Chambers were opened. by the
KING in person, with more than usual solemnity•

The following is his MAJESTY'S Speech :
" Gentlemen,—l am happy at being in the midst of
the representatives of the nation. In presence of the
agitation which so deeply excites Europe, Belgium has
remained calm, confiding, and strong. I longed to give
rublic expression to the gratitude and just pride which
I felt in my heart. The changes in the political state
of several nations have not in any way altered our gnc'd
international relations. Our official relations with the
French Republic have been established on terms of
mutual good will. From all parts we have received
testimonies of sympathy and esteem.
" The last session was distinguished by important
laws. The circle of political rights was con
siderably enlarged, and the first application of
electoral reform has proved that we did not pre-
sume too much on the sound sense of the nation.

" The organization of the civic guard is actively car-
'led on ; the excellent spirit with which the people are:
influx need facilitates that organization and guarantees
Its success.

BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.
Copy of s letter from Mr. J. J. Wilson, Chemist, Monk Bar
York,
" To Mr. Thomas Front,

" 14th June, 1847.
" Sta,—Having suffered most dreadfully for the last six years from
repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best
medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to
try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. When I commenced
taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were
very much swollen and inflamed : I was suffering the most intense
agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke in
the morning comparatively free from pain ; and before I had finished
the box. I never was bettor in my life : they have not only entirely
removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general
health. I have since recommended them to four individuals, who
have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and they all speak
highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think
my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effected by your
wonderful medicine, you are at perfect liberty to publish it.
" I am, Sir, yours respectfully.
" J. J. WILSON."
The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this
valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheuma-
tism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and
certain relief.

They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and
invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other
vital part.

Sold by Thomas ?rout, 229, Strand, London ; and by his appoint-
ment by all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United
Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.

place, by means of a 151. cheque, drawn on Messrs.
Gsrdner and Urquhart, 11, St. Helen's-place. The
cheque was of course dishonoured, as the prisoner was
not known to the firm.

The prisoner changed his line of defence yesterday.
He said:the cheque was a good one ; the only mistake
he had made was in referring it to Messrs. Gardner and
Co. instead of Messrs. Arbuthnot and Co.

Mr. HARDWICK asked if there were other charges
ready ?
A chorus of voices was immediately heard. One called
out, "I want to charge him about a sixty-guinea piano;"
another, " And I about a 301. mare;" a third, " And I
about a saddle and bridle ;" a fourth, " And I about try-
ing to do me out of 851.
Mr. HARDWIGK decided on remanding the prisoner
again until Saturday, in order to get additional evidence
in support of other charges.

Intelligence which from any other country would
be surprising, has just reached us from the capital of
the Spanish peninsula. NAavtEz is threatened with
expulsion from office because of his disinclination to
connive at the capitalization of the property of
CHRISTINA. HOW much longer, we ask, are the lin-
terests of a great nation,ike Spain, to be rendered
subservient to the private cupidity of an unprincipled
and licentious Princess ? Are the Spaniards— that
proud and heroic race which gained glory under the
banners of the CID, under those of CORTE3, under
those of PIZARRO, and under those of the flrst 13A.
BELLA.—are the Spaniards, the children of those illus-
trious men who fought against the Alcors in one
hemisphere, and in the other hemisphere against the
Mexicans, and the Peruvians, are the Spaniards,
of all men in the wide world, to remain for ever the
passive spectators of & debauched Court and of a syco•
phantic Government ? We think not. We are sa-
tisfied, on the contrary, that the day will very speedily
dawn which is destined to behold the expiation of
