We this day submit to our Readers a strong re-
' monstrance froth the
.Marquis DE ROM/WA to the
Supreme Junta. In this Document the Marquis
distinctly and boldly points out some of the leading
causes of the disasters which Spain has experienced.
His observations upon the conduCt of the Junta are
obviously well founded, but whether they will pro-
dace the desired etfeCt is a znatter'of considerable
doubt. We have never,been among these who un-
dervalued the exertions . of the Spaniards, or who
despaired of their cause, but. at the same time it is
impossible to be blind, to the dilatory and wavering
condna of the Junta. 'We most earnestly hope,
therefore,' that some energetic provisional Govern-
ment may be established, and then, notwithstanding
the immense force which BUONAPARTE is pouring
into Spain, we shall look without apprehension to
the issue of the contest. We regret to find
that some of our 'contemporalies speak lightly
of the personal exertions of the Spaniards, and
consider their 'cause as hopeless. It would be
vain and useless to deny that the dangers with
which they are threatened are great, and that their
situation is most critical ; but, what we have hitherto
seen of the temper and charaeter of:the Spanish Peo-
ple justifies us in entertaining the hope that they
may yet be able efreaually to resist their Invader.
Some of the English Newspapers are in the habit of
qpsaking lightly of the SpaniSh troops,' but vs

6 hould be glad to ask whether they have not opposed
the French with more firmness and perseverance
than the well-disciplined and highly extolled legions
of Austria and Prussia. The viBory at Ratisbon en-
abled BUONAriRTE to march to Vienna-the vie-
tory bf Wagram lad immediatelysto a Peace—the
:victory at AuerSradt threw almost the whole domi-
nions of Prussia into the hands of the vigor. Ths-
Prussian troops never ,made another stand against the
conquerors, except, indeed, under the gallant
BLUCHER, -at Lubeck ; so that three vietories may
be said to have decided the fate of two of the.greatest
military PoWers in Europe. Has this been the case

„with. resped to Spain,? The Spanish troops have
been repeatedly beaten, it is true, but they always
rally again, and are ready to renew the contest.
Tite defeats they sustained at Rio Seco, Tudela,
and Ocana, were decisive, but still the 'Spaniards
were not disheartened; they never thought of throW-
' ing 'themselves on the mercy of BuortAratere, or of
suing for peace. When in May, 1808, the treachery
of BUONAPARTE roused the Spanish nation to as-
sert its rights; the 'French had a formidable
army in Spain, and were in possession of
many, of the fortresses. Since that time, an
immense French force has entered Spain, com-
manded by BUONAPARTE himself, and by the best
. French Generals-L-BERTHIERO NEY, SOULT, ,
TOR, MoaTica, AUGIIREAU, &c. and yet Spain is
not conquered. We may, therefore, surely, with-
out being too sanguine, place some confidence in a
people who . have made such immense exertions,
' notwithstanding the almost overwhelming difficui-
deg under which they laboured. We may, we
trust, lie excused if we cannot-easily adopt feelings
of despondency with respet to the ultimate fall of a
country that has given birth, to the Defenders of Sa-
ragossa and Gerona.

Last night we received Moniteurs, and ether
French Papers, to the 3d inst. Their contents are
not very important, but we think .there is reason,
to hope that a considerable convoy, which was ill
ali probability sailing for the relief of Barcelona, his
been either taken or destroyed.

sum granted upon estimate from the produce of

Mrs. CLARKE has inserted a letter in the- Morn-
ing Papers, in which she promises to submit to the
Public, in a short time, a statement of fasts, ac-
companied with letters written by Messrs. DODD,
'WARDLE, HAGUE, GLENNIE, M'CULLUNI,.ILLING-
•WORTR, &C. which the politics and pat' riotign of
Mr. WARDLE are•to be ful y revealed. We believe,
that though it may suit the desperate -viewrs ofsome
men to. support the cause ot. Mr. WA a mu,: the pub-
,•lic in general are under no doubts
.as to his real cha-
rader and designs; but if Mrs. CLARKE- has, any
undisclosed fads to cr)mmunicat-, which con-
firm the public opinion, the sooner she gives them
to the world the better, that he may not,•reap the
benefit of a - subsiAlption; 'to 'Which it tiny he sup-
posed that her statement is-intended trl pioye
be totally destitute of all just pretensions:- • :
