been able to procure a copy of the new Political

much pains to discover the French political meaning
of the term Mediator, as here used. It seems to be
somewhat analogous to a thief, who sets fire to his

Monitntr.—" Why is it so easy to lead nations to their ruin,
by letting Icow their passions ?"
What are the passions of a nation ?—The ruin of
nation's is here discoursed with much composure, and
it is not surprising, considering how familiar the
French Government is with such transactions.
Moniumr.—" In a former Report I have made your Majesty
acquainted with the influence which the English were acquiring
in Spiin."

It has for some time been the opinion of many sound
and sober persons, that the French Government has
long been mad. When an Emperor was prescribed,
an ancient simple which other nations had found very
effectual in cases where there was too great a deter-
mination of the vulgar humours of the body towards 1
the head, it was hoped that a lucid interval might be I
obtained—a radical cure was not soon expected.—
But
it is gravely thought, that having taken a forced
exotic instead of an indigenous production, the dis-
order has become more alarming. This opinion, on
free and mature consideration, we are inclined to adopt ;
for the patient, who had lone maintained, with some
degree of consistency, that England had no influence on
the Continent, is now tearing and raving about the con-
tinental influence of England, and exhibiting two bits
of paper, calling them the Crowns of Spain and the
Indies !

liPoitrate.—" The influence of the numerous tribe of Monks
in Spain, who dreaded a reform, have, in this critical moment,
occasioned the insurrection of several Spanish provinces."
Monks ha.ve been so decidedly worse than useless,
ever since the institution of their various orders, that
it must afford some satisfaction to learn that for once
they have made a common interest with the people.

Will GEORGE 111. permit France to say—" Spain
is one of my Provinces." Has NAPOLEON any better
right to say this than his Majesty? But what is the
right of either ? Spain belongs to the Spaniards, and
should Elig:aad attempt to make her a province, may
her armies meet the fate that has overtaken the hordes
of French slaves employed to provincialise her ! The

Moniteur—" Your Majesty must promptly inflict vengeance for
the outrages committed against the French name."
Committed by whom ? No disgrace can attach to
the name of a nation hut what proceeds from the
conduct of its own Government. On whom then
should Frenchmen inflict their Vengeance ?
Monit-ur—"What estimation, what consideration will the French
Caine enjoy in Europe, if in : country so near us atrocities so in-
famous and so public remain unpunished ?"
Reader, you have bech made acquainted with the
atrocities so infamous and so public, committed in Spain,
by Napoleonian craft—the new political morality ez-.
ceeding in turpitude of its principles the famous
satire on statesmen, published by MACIIIAVELp and
far which he has long been traduced by the ignorant
What must be the effrontery of the man who could
pen such a sentence ? What estimation, indeed, will
the French name enjoy, it France refuses reparation for
the crimes of her government towards other countries ?
The Minister goes on to tali about the wishes of
all Europe—about France and Russia—of Denmark
honourably supporting a contest !—of Sweden aban-
doned by England ! !—of the Spanish insurgents,
bequests of civil war, anarchy, and cruel scourges;
and of the beneficence of his Majesty the Emperor
NAPOLF,ON !—He then tells that Emperor that the
Court of Vienna has testified amicable intentions to
him, and placed herself in a state of hostility with
England ; and that his Majesty has been giving simi-
lar testimonials—But the aim of the whole is to
advise his Majesty to execute his long projected de-
, signs on Austria! !—Turkey and America are also
named; but only by way of giving his Majesty
NarotEosr some information in compassion for his
ignorance.—Germany, Italy, Switzerland and Hol-
land, are all waiting for a maritime peace.. This.
Minister says, that England is the enemy of the
world ; that the French nation, and all Europe,
knows the efforts made by the Emperor NaPot.zo.,r
to obtain peace ; that his enterprizes are the imme-
diate result of the attempts he has made to obtain it ;
that, the devotion of the French people to their Em-
peror is bcuadless ; that his Majesty is preparing for
them a harvest of glory and honour; and that this maa
himself is w:th respect, &c."—All this official rub-
bish is as contemptible, as the expectation that any
part of it willhe credited.

province of Gallicia. It had been _
a General Junta, and to name a Captain-General for
the kingdom ; but no agreement could be come to
with regard to the previous conditions. The leaders
of the insurgents are also of various descriptions.—
In one place the military men have put themselves at
their head, in another the civil authorities have taken
the lead ; in many towns the monks and some of the
dregs of society, have been acknowledged as chiefs.
They have besides attempted to raise all the males,
from the age of 16 to 45, but a want of arms and
ammunition prevails.
SEPTEMEKR '2B.—Talma, Damas, Mademoiselles
Raucourt, Duchesnois, and other principal actors and
actresses of the French Theatre, have, by older of
the Government, set out for Germany, for the pur-
pose of performing some of the masterpieces of the
French Stage before the Emperor of Russia, during
the residence of his Imperial Majesty in that country.
The Princess of Ponte Corvo has left Paris on a jour-
ney to Hamburgh.
We learn from Marseilles, that General Marescot,
who had arrived there from Algcsiras, has been ar-
rested by order of the Emperor.

I.EYDEN, SEPT. 2s.
We have not received the Hamburgh papers, but
German letters, received through France and other-
% ise, state in substance as follows :
" On thel4th, a regiment of the Grand Duke of
Berg's troops arrived at Hamburgh, and after halting
one day there, proceeded to Dusseldorf. The 2d bat-
talion of the 6th Dutch regiment has entered Bremen,
and is to garrison the mouth of the Weser. On the
16th, the Turkish courier Soliman passed through
Sttitgard, with dispatches from Constantinople for
Paris which are said to be of great importance.—
Within these few days, several French couriers have
passed through the same town, destined for Vienna,
Munich, &c. The Emperor of Russia was expected
at Koningsberg on the 16th, whence he was to pro-
ceed by way of Leipsic to Weimar. Marshal Lannes
is to wait for his Imperial Majesty at Bromberg, and
accompany hint.
" It appears certain, that the Princes of the Con-
federation of the Rhine will meet at Erfurth, during
the residence of the Emperor Napoleon at that place.
It is reported that M. Carlshausen, formerly the Hes-
sian War Counsellor, has been arrested on his estate
in the. Weiterau, and carried to Mentz."

HAGUE, SEPT. 24.
Though the Paris Papers of the 21st state that the
Emperor, on the preceding day, presided at a meet-
ing of the Council of State, several German papers
pretend that his Majesty had before that time began
his journey to meet the Emperor of Russia. Accor-
dine to statements in the same papers, his Imperial
Majesty will return from his German journey to Bay-
onne, by the 18th of October. About that time all
the French columns, and all the heavy artillery des-
tined for Spain, will have arrived on the frontiers of
that country, and the campaign will be formally
commenced. It is added, that his Majesty will com-
mand the Grand Army in person, and that Marshal
Massena will command a separate corpscflB,ooo men.
The German Papers also state; that the meeting
of the two Emperors is to take place between Erfurth
and Weimar; that the Emperor Napoleon will re-
side in the former town, and the Emperor Alexander
in the Latter. It is likewise said, that the Emperor
of Austria will be present at this meeting. But it
is easy to perceive that all these reports require con-
firmation.

same situation as she has hitherto been.

CORtJNNA EXTRAORDINARY CA zErrp.

The Government of this kingdom has just recei-
ved, by express, the following official reports from
the Commander in Chief of the Army of Gallicia:—
" MOST &UNE. Loan—Having thought it expe-
d:ent to occupy the city of Frias and the convent of
Ona, our advanced posts arc at a very short distance
from those of the enemy. In consequence thereof,
and as the enemy was desirous of ascertaining our
position, a detachment of 150 men advanced as far
as Frias, which fell in with our detached parties,
much inferior in number, and was defeated without
much hard fighting, leaving 12 of their men dead on
the field of battle.

" This morning the enemy advmced again for the
tme pt:rpose, 1000 in number : he was likewise de.
fated, and fell back with the loss of six m_•n killed.

Before Ona appeared also about MO men, who,
'according to intelligence received, intended to sack the
town, and commit their usual devastations ; but they

were r: pulse.'.
