REVIEW
OF THE SECOND REPORT OF THE FRENCH MINISTER
FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS, RELATIVE TO SPAIN,
DATED PARIS, 13T SEPTEMBER, 1808.

We have already reviewed the Commentary of the
French official Journal upon the STAR of August 8,
and also the Report of the French Minister, antedated
at Bayonne, the 21th of April. It is now our task
to draw the attention of the world to another publica-.
tion, done by the same hand. The Bayonne perfor-
mance was an exposition of the principle: of a new mo-
rality, suited to the Imperial condition of the French re-
public. What we have now to review is a descant on
the practicability of these principles. It was not only
dictated by the great NAPOLEON himself in private ;
but. in the face of all the world, he bravely received
it as worthy of his Imperial and Royal adoption. It
commences thus :

FatA r !—I have the honour to propose to your Majesty to
communicate to the Senate the two Treaties which have placed
the Crown of Spain in your hands —"

Here the amiable modesty of the ei-ikvant Consul
of the French republic is interestingly conspicuous.
He has no inclination to give these treaties to his Se-
nate. Was there any thing in them of which he need-
ed to be ashamed ? Did he not come honestly by
them, that his Minister should be obliged to make
such a proposition to His Most Christian Majesty, as
that his Majesty should communicate the two treaties
which placed in his hands the crown of Spain ? It is
possible, however, that NAPOLEON had better grounds
for his scruples than his Minister had for his officious,
tress, seeing in his hands, instead of a crown, only two
pieces of foolscap paper !
But, supposing he really had in his hands the
Crown of Spain—Who gave it to him ? The
people to whom the crown belonged—for all crowns
are the property of the people—deny the gift, have
armed to defend their right, and have puni!-:led with
death many of the house-breakers that attempted to
deprive them of tl--tir inalienable heritage.

Moniteur.—" And the Constitution, which, undt r your auspices,
and enlightened by your advice, the Junta assembled at B.srisnne,
after free and mature deliberation, have adopted for the glory of
the Spanish name and the prosperity of that kingdom and its co-
lonies."

The genius of the-French Government--" the ge-
nius of evil" is wonderfully expert in the manufacture
of constitutions, fitted for all climates and habitudes.
The first constitution of regenerated France was pro-
nounced by Mr. Fox to be " a stupenduous monument
of human wisdom !" Can it be doubted then that the
fabrication at Bayonne was superfine, when it is recol-
lected how much experience the French artificers have
had in this traffic, and particularly when it is consi-
dered that NAPOLEON, the head of the concern, dis-
played the article, and held up the candle to shew
the durability of his tissue.—Possessing such a profit-
able monopoly, it is easy to account for the indiffer-
ence, or rather contempt, which his Imperial and
Royal Majesty, NAPOLEON, entertains for the canaille
inarchanele, dealers in broad cloth, hard-ware, and fire
arms, now among the other necessaries of life.—" A
nation of shopkeepers" mark the grovelling distinc-
tion, is content to receive in exchange for its commo-
dities the superfluities of other nations, while the house
of IVitrotioN et :es freres a Paris demand crowns for
their kick shows (Tuclques chases).
" The Junta assembled at Bayonne."—Courteous
Reader, we pray thee to understand that " Junta" sig-
nifies a Board—as the Bank Directors—the India
Directors, who themselves are under another Junta,
the Board of Coutroul, which is also under the Junta
a the Cabinet, a Junta of Parliament, the Junta
of the nation. Now, Reader, what wouldst thou think
if the Junta of Leadenhall-street, without the autho-
rity of its contronling Juntas, was to receive a code
of laws, for the management of its affairs, from the
Cham of Tartary ? Or what wouldst thou say, if,
peradventure, the cabinet Junta, under the au:tires, and
etilighkncel by the advice of NapoevoN, should, after
FREE and mature deliberation, at Bayonne, or any
where else, adopt, for their own ends, a new constitu-
tion for England!! Such a i ight as the British Cabinet
Junta has to dispose of the British liberties, had the
Junta at Bayonne to surrender the independency of
the Spanish kings ems!—Such a
right as GEORGE 111,
the Prince of IVaers and his royal brothers have to
surrender to the French Emperor the British crown,
with all the laws and trophies of a great and noble
people—and to surrender the people themselves—such
a tight, and no other, had the despicable idiot,
CIEARws IV. and his family, to sell, for a pension,
the so"reignty, kingdoms and colonies of Spain !

"61.40,-4. Though in the arrangements made by your Ma-
jesty, the security of Franev bas been your priecipal care, the in-
germ of Spain herself has however been dear."
Can any thing be more evident than what is here
avowed—that the arrangements were at the expence
of Spain for the aggrandisement of France ? What
r.4ht has France .to be benefited by entailing %Aar-
