riiILIJA I :is, la

It is with sentimehts of the deepeSt regret that
we communicate to-Our readers an 'event of a most•
distres,ing nature, the intelligence of which has
just reached us—we mean the d',..ath of Mr. ABLtA-
HAM GOLDSMII.4: It is generally understood 'that
that Gentleman' was a holder of Omnium,to
an im-
niense-amount, and the depression of the Funds is •
said :to have had such an effect upOn his spirits, that,
be formed the dreadful resolution of putting a period
to his existence. Yesterday be discharged all his
servants, and at eight o'clock this morning, be shOt
himself in a water-closet at Merton.
It was at first reported that it was another branch
of the family th tt had thus unfortunately perished,
but-we have received the above account from -a quar-
ter that leaves us no room to doubt of its accuracy.
Mr. GOLDSMID'S death will be most sincerely re-
gretted, both upon public and private grounds ;
as a commerciA man, be was fair and honourable in
his dealingd, and in .privite life he was a most
friendly and benevolent mzn. In consequence of
the death of this Gentleman, the Stocks ibis morn-
ing, a
'experienced further depression ; and when
Paler was put to press, ()annum was at lot dis-
count.

Wc have emracted from the Moniteur of the
14tk, an article, entitled, " Comments on the Con-
duc of the English in Spain, and Portugal." We
think we may, without hesitation, pronounce the
article to be the produdion of BUONAPARTE himself,
fill' it bears all .the marks of his pen ; the style is
coarse and vuhgar,thestatements are in most instances
totally at variance with truth; and there appears to be
throUghout a laboured endeavour to insult and out-
rage the feelings Of the unfortunate people who are'
groaning' under the unrelenting oppression of the Ty-
'rant. It would be tedious as well as,trieless to point out
all the falselieods and misrepresentations in this c.ll-
- production, because they will naturally strike
our Readers • upon the. most cursory perusal 'of it.
There are, however, some passages upon which-we
to make a few comments. It begins with
s::.ting, that when General Mootte• was in Spain, in
•November 1;808, with 25,000 men, he did no-
thing, alt hough the Spaniards had 300,000 men un-
der arms, and all het; troops of the line. BuoNA.
rAaTE knows that at that, period Spain had not all
her troops of the line ; he ,knows that, by the mat

artful .pretexts, and under the warrnest professions
of friendship, he ltad prevailed upon his infatuated,
but submissive ally, the KING Of SPAIN, to send
all the flower of his army, rather In the charaaer
of prisoners than of soldiers, into the North. of
Europe. But when BUONAPARTE says that Spain
,had at that time 300,000 men under arms, what
will the people of France think of his former asser-
tions; that the ,great mass of the people of Spam
looked up to him as their protedor, and 1114 he was
only opposed by a despicable banditti under the in-
fluence of English gold ? • This despicable banditti,
now it appears, consisted of 300,000, men in arms ;
indeed it would have been wiser in BUONAPARTE to
have confessed at first that the,whole population of
Spain was hostile to him ; it would have accounted
to the people of France for the irntnense torrents of
their, blood which has been shed, and it would have.
saved him frOto the disgrace of carrying on an un-
successful war for so long a period, against what he
has described' as a " cowardly and Contemptible
,banditti:" Af:er a ,number of observations upon
General MooirE, -equilly illiberal and unfounded,
the article adverts to the evacuation of Spain by the
British army, and says,. that the fate of Spain was
then dedited for ever. , Flow ,happens it then that
at the distance, of a year and three' quarters from
that time, the war in Spain is carried on, with as
much vigour as ever ? Flow haiyeas it that there
are at this moment con,ide!abie Spanisit armies in
several of the Provinces, and that the whole pap-
lation of the Kingdom, i.,xcept in the spots immedi-
ately 'covered by French troops, are in arms against
BUONAPAIITE ?

The article then proceeds.to comment upon what •
it terms the 'SecondPeriod of '.the War in Spain,.'
4,4•
which it fixes at the .eurnmenceinent of ,the fifth
coalition on the Continent. 'Here again the writer
of the art tele displays a most remarkable conternvt .
for truth ; he saYs, that- SOULT had at that time
'16,000 men in Portugal, and Lord WELLINGTON
24,000, and that Portugal was evacuated without a
contest or a bati,le. Has BUONAPARTE then for-
gotten,. or did SOULTneverinform hint,' that he at-
tempted in vain to defend the passage of the Douro,,
that the British army passed that riVer, and drove
him out of Portugal, with the loss of all his. am-
munition and artillery, and one-third Of. his army ?
BUONAPARTE fixes the period of the Peace of Vienna •
as the commencement of the war in Spain, and he
says, that it would have been wise in the English
Government. to have withdrawn its troops at that
time from the Peninsula. No doubt it would have
been very convenient for him that they should have
been withdrawn, but subsequent events have
cer-
tainly not shewn the wisdom of such a measure.
We do nut think it necessary to notice the:vulgar
abuse heaped upon the . Marquis \VEELLESLRY and
•Lord WELLINGTON ; we have no doubt that both
these Noblemen will always continue to deserve
the hatred of the-Tyrant. BUONAPARTE has very
frequently, in his Bulletins and Public "Doeu-
Ments favoured us with a few dramatic ,Ruches
of his own invention. •Immediately after the battle
of Austerlitz, he gave an official acccount of a con-
versation bet ween the Emperor ALEXANDER and
General SAVAIIi', although it is known that the Rus7
man Emperor would not evenaadmit SAVAVY into
hispresence. In this article he has indulged his
fancy something in the same way with regard to
Lord WELLINGTON, but in too cluaisy.a manner to
impose even upon the most credulous of his own
'subjects, We shall only trespass upon our Readers by
noticing one more passage in this farrago.: it says
" If England had the influence upon the Conti-
