In some of the Papers of- last 'week a Paragraph

fiou-se had Stopped payment for upward of 800,0001.
and that at a meeting of Creditors things appeared
rather favourable. .These Papers most sincerely re-
gret that they should have been instruinent4 to tl.e.
circulation ofa report, which, from the manner bf its
being given, must have been occasioned by some
envious or ill. disposed person, either for the purpose
of creating an alarm at the expetice of the respel-
- House in question, or for the still 'more
abominable purpose of prejudicing the Country at
large, by injuring . the numerous 'mercantile esta-
blishments dependent on them. The fact is, and we
pledge ourselves to the truth of it, that the un.
expeded war' having interposed, very extensive ob.
'stacks to the procuring Remittances of Produce
from the West Indies in that regular order which
either a continuance of the late War, or of thB".
Peace, would have secured, a meeting of the Bill.

unbounded confidence, by consenting to. give the

,irgoNl A RECENT TOURIST IN SPAIN.)

Iv the Men .are distinguished by their peculiar
char'aeter, the Spanish Women are distinguishable
for the warmth. of their constitutions. I. will give .
isms mine account of them.
A fatAtical- enthusiasm for_ the, religious system
of their Country, • pride .that would 'bend every
thing beneath its yoke, a
.singularity that knows
no law but its own will, a passion for revenge, in'
opposition to Which nothing is held sacred, and an
unbridled hive of pleasure, are by no means an
aniiable assemblage of qualities ; yet all these are
compensated'in the Spanish Women by a- fidelity and
an attachment that nothing can shake, by strength
of mind and heroism
,carried to the utmost height,.
All their sensations are Violent, but they have a
eharaAer of energy and of sublimity that would
carry you away, in spite of your better judgment,
and of all your philosophy.
The physiognomy' of a Spanish woman
„beais
the. stamp of sensibility. Her slender form, her
majestic step,, her sonorous voice,-her black and
brilliant eye, the vivacity of her gesticulation, in a
word, the whole action of her person, shows the
t. miherature of her soul. Her premature charms
are too soon displayed, and fade with equal rapidity.
The'clim'a4e, the heating aliments they use, excess
in their amusements, every thing contributes to
produce this ell-set. At forty years of age, a 'Spa.
nish woman seems twice as old, and her -whole ex.
terior shews exhaustion and premature old age.—
Almost all haye•a down upon their upper lip, a pe-
Cutiarity which shows the warmth of their consti-
tutions, hoe which is so disagreeable, that they
have recourse to the vethras, or women. whose
.business it 'is to pluck out the hair. Almost- all
have spoiled their teeth, by an immoderate use of
duices or sweetmeats. •
A Spanish woman is sincerely and irrevocably
attached to her religion. Her tender veneration for
the Madoonaeher devotion to her Pa tron Saint, May
()alloy her infantine heart, the pomp 'of ceremoeies
may arnuse her unpraetied senses ; but these pious
illusions, this mystical enthusiasm, and these sacred:
tenderoesses, certaiole ripen her soul to the attacks
of love. To love a Saint naturally awakens a sense
:or her'sexuality ; and thus a voluinuoui devotion
'becomes, from- sixteen years of age, the Most im-
portant occupation of her life. In this view alone
can the contradidions in 117 condua be explained, .4
and her continjosl alternations Of Oenitences and
aberration accounted far, as well as the physical in-
&slices exercised over her by the Priests. '
Divided between religious duties and the--plea-
sures of sense, a Spanish ~glom stems to he in a,
state of continual wsrfare
.between - her conscience
and her constitution. Yet, in spite of constraint,
.Nature at length overcomes, the rigour ofher prin-
ciples ; and she ends by quieting her conscience with
the idea'of being able to expiate enjoyment by a mass
or a psayer. Hence it is by no meses ;";:.;,: :0 see a
beautiful woman quit. tare arms of to keeel before
a Madonna ; and lit;itlereconciled by, this :a of de_
votifs:r, again hasten-to give herself-op to pleasure.
The Spanish women, however ore very far
from delicate in objes of this kind. With a warm
imagination and hUrning passions, they are ignorant
of those charms, those sweet illusions, which the
fair sex derive from delicacy. Hence the most un-
restrained language, and the most lascivious looks,
'areincapable of making them blush.; 'anti what
would excite the utmost indignation in a German
or an English womao, appears perfealy simple and'
. ,
natural to a native of Spain, who yields without re. -
serve to such licentious images as the former would
not dare to contemplate even in solitude.
It would be, an error, however, to infer from
these remarks, the certainty of success in the enter.
prises of a lover. They speak, it is true, on these
subjecls with the freedom of men ; their lips, their
eyes,. and their ears are alike strangers to chsstitye
but their prides prevents .their going farther. Such •
an attempt from a man would show a sense of superie
ority, whereas 'tis they must reign with uncontroul.
ed power. Every such advance would therefore he
rejcaed with disdain. 'They must not be chosen,-
Itia they mint choose. 'Tis they th'at fake upon
themselves the part of the man, to Whom they, only
leave the duty of complying with their wishes, and
giving himself upentirely,to their will. Hence it is,
that tie most timid and the coldest of inert are often
more successful with them than the most enterpris-
ineand impassioned lover. Their despotism forces
die former to pay homage to their charms, for
their pride has fixed upon them as theiteslaves.—
The more indifferent these appear, the more ardour
the women show ; theemote he shuns her,. the
,more
she pursues him' One would imagine she loved'
• him, yet she only desires to be the objeft of his'
love.' She seems to give terse'sf up to him, yet she
only siteks to reduce him to sobtnission.
They are, however, faithful. and constant. The
energy of their chataaer preserves them from levity,
and their pride from baseness.
They' are susceptible of the most elevated 'sen-
timents, -of the most noble sacrifices, of the most.
generous actions ; btit the source of these must be.
sought, not so much in her, attachment to the ob.-
jeft she loves; as in the idea she entertains of her.,
I self. , She considers her -lover as her property ; and
I uses the same 'complaisance towards him, that she
I would feel for herself ; but she exalts in return, the
most absolute devotion to her will.

Nothing can be more burthensome, than the re-
straint attached to the title of lovers it is one un-
interrupted succession of minute cares and attentions.
Chained to the arm of his cara sposa, he must ac_
company her every where, like her shadow. At
the rrado, at Mass, at the Theatre, at the Coo fizs_.
sional, never must he quit her,
.and the wholeweight pf her affairs of every kind rests upon: his
shoulders. Never must he approach her empty-
handed, especially on feast-days. To him,
,a
however slightly- expressed, a caprice. the most un-
decided, is a command ; while the most inviolable
respeet for her whims and fancies, and the most un-
disturbed submission of temPer, are sacred duties—in,
a word, he must in all things be the passive agent of a
woman, whose ardent imagintion .often commands
What is impossible with the Most impatient eKotistn.
