The accounts from Spain are every lay more
encouraging to the hopes of those who favour
the cause of the Insurgents. So confident do the
followers. of Quiroga appear to be in their own
strength, or so ardent in support of their prin-
ciples, that they have one and all rejected the
King's free pardon. The plan of operation dis-
closed by Riego to some British Officers who
visited Algesiras from the garrison of Gibraltar
was, that the Insurgents should proceed to the
different great towns m succession, and if favour-
ably received by the inhabitants, as they antici-
pated, then to march directly fur the capital. A
corps, which was reckoned at 2000 men, moved
accordingly on the 7th ult, in the direction :if
Ronda. The entire force of the Royalists in the
neighbourhood of Cadiz is said to have consisted
of no more than 9000 men, including the corps
of Freyre, O'DOnnell, Cruz Mourgeon, and
Micheleno. A report, moreover, was believed at
Cadiz, that Freyre had sent in his resignation.—
About one-halt of the above-mentioned force
9000 men had been attached to the Revolutionary
Army, and were universally suspected of an in-
clination to join the Constitutionalists Pi the first
favourable moment.

By a letter-from Malta of the 15th of January,

be formed thete, in' which case• the prisoners
would be sent to England.

On occasions much more recent than the
Church and King movements, the genuine feel-
ings of the people have been expressed in univer-
sal effusions of affectionate loyalty. 00 the re-
covery of our late excellent. Sovereign, in Fe-
bruary 1789, and still more on the.great day of
Thanksgiving in April, the love of the people was
no less demonstrated, than the exemplary piety
of the King. Every heart rejoiced, every mouth
re-echoed the thanksgiving, and every house,
cottage, hovel, and stall, every corner that con-
tained a living inhabitant, poured forth at night
the beams of a spontaneous illumination ; Poverty
itself found means out of its humble pittance, to
display its participation in the general joy. This
was truly British ! and while it gave just testi-
mony to the long•tried merits of the KING, it
certainly implied a settled attachment to the
Kingly Office.
Other instances might_beaddnced, and even
some in which the people joined to support the
Crown against its temporary opponents. But as
every example would lose somethiug of its lustre
in comparison with that now given, I shall not
further dwell upon the snhject.
Our habits and our feelings are monarchial
not from prejudice, but because we have long ex-
perienced the superior benefits of that form of
Polity. Our Government is a Monarchy; a very
ancient Monarchy. Never despotic, though long
retaining some oppressive branches of prero;;a-
tir•e. Refined at length, by gradual steps of on-
provement, into the most equitable and the freest
Constitution that the world has ever seen. We
feel its blessings ; and all who are not strangely
perverted well know how to value them. Who-
ever then, on any pretence whatever, attempts to
wean the people (runs their attachmant to the
Monarchy, be he as high in name or reputation
as he will, is a TRAITOR. to the CONSTITUTION.
If he is a Republican in piinciple, without any of
the palliatives above admitted, he is probably a
villain ; like --, and —, and —. If, for . the
mere purposes of party, he disseminates such
principies as lead directly or indirectly to Re-
;.;ublicanium, let him look well to his steps if he
would avoid a similar imputation. Annual Par-
liaments are Demoeratical. Universal Suffrage is
elearly and openly Republican. Assemblages of
the lower eiders, in such numbers- and in such
array as to alarm the peaceful citizen, to inter,-
runt trade, and to impede if not prevent the peace-
able interference of the Magistrate, are of the
very essence of Republican tyranny. We know
therefore, what to think (if those by whom such
proceedings are defended or promoted. They
are, if nothing else, at least enemies to the free
Monarchical Constitution of Britain.

I have thus made clear to every-header, what is.
REPUBLICAN is, in piinciple; and what he is,
more particularly in reference to the British Con.
stitutiou, Having done this, I have performed
the task I had imposed upon myself ;. and I trust
that your Paper will never he considered as (litho,
poured by having admitted six such Essays, un-
der Ike title of THE REPUBLICAN.
