We !lava inserted in another coltitun twa Gene•

ral Orders, issued from Valladolid, the head.iair.
ters of JOSRPH BUONAPARTEI on his way to Madrid,

and which exhiiiit a koriking contrast to the,,adula •

,tort' addresses and ognplimentary answers atValla-
, dad, which we extracted 3'esterday from the P,ilis
Papers. Instead of that smooth unruffled ouriTut
:of placidity and submission, which a superficial
observer might have been induced to imagine gave
birth to the addresses at Valladolid, and indicated
,the surrender of the Spanish cause, we now find

the most terrible vengeance denounced against the

Spaniards, for persisting in the enormous ermine, of
',defending their hearths and their altars against the
lerOcious inrolds of a foreign tyrant. It is, how-
, .ercr, in one point of view highly gratifying to oh=
serve, that the tyrant'who has so often boaste*d of
•tlie entire subjugation of Spain; is, after all, com-
peiled to resort to these measures of unqualified and

barbayous severity, proving, as it does, that he is still
only on the threshold at his purpose, whilst all his-
tory and experience authorize us to expect that
,„,thekenekstiresuf excessive and Unmitigated_ tyranny
will' le:oil on their merciless author,' and still fur-
ther tend to defeat his ()Neff, by Increasing amongst
the. Spatiinds.that patriotic spirit of resistance which
he thus endeayours to extinguish. y •

utter unfounded charges against the defenders of the

Morning Chronicle of this.(tay returns to the subject

i,s reader's with an account of a plot, which
it imputes to Mr. l'EacnvA,L, but which in reality

plot it introloces with 'great pomp,, as " one of the

All we have to say in answer to this most ridiculous
p/ut, which the Chronicle deems a stroke of MACItiA-
VaLIAN policy, is toast theWritet,whether Mr. fart.

.Wonderful, siace the Chronicle is so great a dealer
in pints, that it did not accuse the Dvike of limit-
raoNv of secretly inciting the liisli'Cath:,lles to as-
semble, for the purpose of issuing the Proclarna-,
tion : such a plot would be less absurd Ilion that,
which the chronicle has impOted to Mr. PEUCEVAL;
atv imputation that is a gross at ta::k..upon tat:. Paracit
REGENT, inasmuch as it supposes his Royal High..
ness so weak and ductile as to be moulded at will
by the Minister and his agents. But as a final an.
saver to the charge of this miserable plot against his
Royal Highness and the Catholics of Leland, we
insert the followidg extract from the loyal journal.
'of that country, entitled The Patriot, to which we
have, been, several times betore indebted: •
