SPANISH PAPERS.

..• •

CADIZ, JANUARY 16.
Yesterday arrived the Spanish brig Catalina, in
Si days from the Havannah. She brings e 22,000
dollars, and produce. Two Deputies from Puebla
de los Angeles came by her.
Also arrived the schooner Galatea., which left the
Havannah. in company with the Mino man of war,
which had on board seven millions in specie and pro-
duce. The Galatea separated from the Mino in the
Bahamx Channel.
MADRID, JANUARY 16.
Don Jose Rebolledo y Palafox, formerly Captain-
General'of Arragon, and who conducted the defence
of Saragossa, has arrived at Vich, from France, in a
coach_ and four, escorted by 50 French carabineers.
As soon as he arrived, he dispatched a courier extra-
ordinary to the Regency of the Kingdom. It is be-
lieved, that the object of his coming is the same with
that of the Duke of San Catlos. The Corsican finds

himself in great straits, and will leave no stone un-
turned to accomplish his sinister ends.
We are assured that Tortosa, being in great want
of provisions, has demanded a capitulation.
This day the Regency went in great pomp to con-
gratulate the Cortes on the opening of their sittings ,
in the capital of the monarchy.
The first session of the ordinary Cortes in Madrid
took place yesterday. After the Deputies had as-
sembled, the President opened the Session in the fol-
lowing terms The public session is opened in the
capital of the kingdom•this 15th of January, 1811.".
The ,Act of the 29th November, 1813, having
been read, the President pronounced a discourse, in
which he sketched the principal events of our holy
insurrection, the' first spark of which, he observed,
caught fire. in this heroic population, Whence it spread
to the other provinces. He apostrophised the inha-
bitants of this capital, exhorting them to continue the
display of their civic virtues as they had hitherto,
done; and congratulated the Congress on having at
lait been able 'to fix their residence in the capital of
the monarchy, after having surmounted the immense
obstacles which the tyrant Bonaparte had opposed to
the public felicity.
A message was soon after. received from the Re-
gency, requesting the Cortes to appoint the day and
hour when the Secretary of State might communicate
to them an affair of importance. The President fixed
one o'clock of the same day for that purpose.
After some ordinary business had been transacted,
the hour arrived, the Secretary of State for Foreign
-Affairs was announced., and the Cortes remained in
secret sitting.
Don Thomas Moreno hasbeen appointed Secretary
for the War Department, and Senor Odonnju has
retired with the rank of Lieutenant-General.
MADRID, JANUARY W.

In the sitting of the Cortes of yesterday, General
Villacampa, the Military Governor of this City, was
introduced, accompanied by a "numerous suite of
Officers of his Staff, and addressed the. President
as follows :
" SENOR—lntrusted by the Regency of Spain
with the government of this capital, no duty more
grateful to my-heart can present itself than that of
offering, this day, my homage to the Fathers of the
country, assembled in august Congress. Born in a
province, whose ancestors always joined love and
fidelity to their monarchs with the most vigilant zeal.
for the Conservation of civil liberty ; and having had
the honour of maintaining, in the mountains of Arra,
goo, during the calamitous period of our memorable
revolution, the sacred fire of patriotism, my soul only
breathes for the perpetuation of the liberty and inde-
pendence of Spain ; and my sword shall only be em-
• ployed in combating for the precious rights of the
people, which are inseparable from the interests of
that throne on which we anxiously hope to see our
Monarch, Ferdinand VII. again seated. Wretches,
if there be any such, who wish to exalt themselves on
the ruins of Spanish honour, might dare to 'attempt
the dissolution of the national representation ; but let
them be assured,. that they could only attain their
object over the dead bodies of General Villacampa,
and the brave men, who have so often accompanied
him in the field of battle, shedding their blood that
the country may never again be the prey of tyrants;
or the frightful theatre of degradation and des-
potism."
Thc President replied in substance as follows;
44 The noble sentiments manifested by General
Villacampa, the Governor of this city, are worthy of
a Spaniard who has known how to conquer by his
valour and constancy the efforts-of the enemies of his
country,; and the Cortes, who have heard such noble
sentiments with peculiar pleasure, trust that he will
continue to defend the national hianour, and contri-
bute to raise the character of this heroic nation to
that degree of splendour to which it is entitled."
The General then withdrew.
In the sitting of the 19th the Regency acqtrainted
the Cortes, that they. had received by the hands of
Mr. Genotte, the Envoy from- Austria, a note (mai
the Emperor of Austria, in which he communicates
his lively wishes- for the re-establishment of the an-
cient relations between the two nations, with which
view he had sent the s-aids Envoy, whom, the Regency
had received with the usuaFformalities.
OpERVATIONS ON THE TREATY BETWEEN KING..
rratorNaNn AND Tire CoRsIcAN.

Very curioas things are gridually coming so tight.
There is now no. doubt that King Yerdinand arid the
execrable Corsican have na.:e 4 treaty. It consists
of 15 articles ; among which tire the acknowledg-
ment of the King of Spain, in the pc: son of Ferdi-
nand, by Bonaparte ; the evacuation of the Spanish.
territory by the French troops within a definite period,
to be fixed by another Convention ; the acknowledg-

as respects maritime rights : the renewal of the old

restitution of their property, revenues, dignities, an,

ployments, pensions, sc. to all the Spaniards who '
declared against their country, by attaching them-
selves to the' blockhead Joseph and the atrocious
Bonaparte, and who are now suffering in France
part of Abell; punishment for the crime. of ` treason
against their country ; so that the circumstance of
their having been spurious and traitorous Spaniards,
and most pernicious, to,their brethren, is not to cause
them the least harm. _ _

Thus far as to the contents of this famous treaty,
into which we shall not search further at present; but
shall content ourselveswithsaying, Spaniards, be

. _
upnn your guard ! By franc/ Bonaparte overcame us
in 1808: by force of arms he could not subdue us in
six years of contest; by fraud Bonaparte seeks to
overcome us again. With' this view he means to
avail himself of intrigue, seductioil, plots, passions,
and all other infamous means suggested by his infer-
nal policy. Humbled so far as now to despair of
conquering Spain, and to acknowledge the unfortu-
nate Ferdinand as King, he is obliged to look about
him for other objects. We already see him endea-
vouring to embroil us with our allies the English ;
and we shall soon see him (if we apply no remedy)
introduce discord and disunion among ourselves.
We shall see him send flattering proposals and offers :
as he has already sent the two Spanish emissaries, the
Duke of S. Carlos and Palafox, we shall perhaps see
him send the Infant Don Antonio, or Ferdinand
himself, perhaps also, Charles IV. and Maria Louisa!'
The workings of fraud and intrigue are about to re-
commence it would not be at all extraordinary were
he to send us King Ferdinand, the better to subdne
us at his leisure ; surrounding him with persons under
French influence, who may give him lessons of des-
potism, and lessons of arbitrary government. More
vigilance is necessary now than ever ; more perspica-
city to free us from the snares which the insidious ty-
rant is laying for us ; more firmness in our resolu-
tions; and more policy to counteract that of the Cor-

sic an.
It must be observed, that this convention pre-
supposes, that the Corsican does not treat at the same
time with Spain and with England. He will make
the English evacuate Spain ; b binds himself to de-
mand of England the restoration of the French pri-
soners." Is it not their evident, that the Corsican
thinks to treat only with us ? and can we disjoin our
cause from, that of England ? and can King Ferdi-
nand have _consented to,: and signed such a treaty ?
It appears incredible ; but we well know the vile
arts which the Tyrant practised at Bayonne, and
captivity accounts for it.
There is not a good Spaniard who does not desire
the return of the unfortunate Ferdinand ; but he
wishes it for the good of his country, and not so to
expose it to greater evils than those= it has already
suffered. Ferdinand must return in the way in which
Spaniards wish it, and not as Bonaparte means it.—
He must come to make us happy, and not to be the
cause (though the innocent one) of new calamities.
Happy will be the day on which Ferdinand, restored
to his loyal subjects, may be thus addressed :•-•(4 Here
is your throne, preserved by the loyalty of your sub-
jects ; here is your crown, ransomed by the blood. of
Spaniards ; here is your sceptre, which Spanish con-
stancy replaces in your. hands; here is your royal
robe, tinged with the blood of thousands of victims,
who have fallen that you might preserve it: read our
history—inform yourself of all that Spaniards have
done for you—and never forget that to the Spanish'
people you. owe every thing ! Never forget that you
are come to be the Chief of a nation, the Monarch
of subjects who have abolished the vestiges of despo-
tism : it is the law which orders—the King is the
Executive Magistrate." But that such a day of ju-
bilee may arrive, King Ferdinand must return abso-
lutely free; neither influenced by the Tyrant of France,
nor by Spaniards ignorant of the state of. Spain, or
who view our institutions with repugnance.
MADRID, JAN. IR.

ON PEACE WITH BONAPARTE. •
There is not a doubt that Bonaparte is making all
imaginable efforts to avoid the dreadful tempest
which threatens him-,-unable to make head at all the
points where he sees himself attacked, and foreseeing
his total ruin if he does not ward off the mortal blow
which is aimed at him, he wishes to avail himself of
negotiations, in order to stop the Allies in their rapid
career. In his critical situation he can only escape
ruin by acceding to a peace ; to preserve the Crown
of France is now his only object: an i should he suc-
ceed so far, his projects for the future will then deve-
lope themselves.
With this view Bonaparte would cheerfully make
peace, even though at the expence of humiliations
which he would gloss over with honourable terms,
to deceive the ignorant. Bat, for our parts, it ap-
pears hardly credible, that the Allies, after having
well nigh overturned the Colossus, should stop short
in their progress, and consent that this monster should
preserve his existence, and much more his political
existence.
Peace with Bonaparte k a chimera f and in any
peace with France the head of the tyrant ought to be
required as a preliminary basis. It is with the Se-
nate alone, composed of such men as, though weak,
may still have heen able to preserve some remains of
virtue and probity, that peace can be adjusted. To
make it with Bonaparte is really to labour for the
destruction of Europe, which, indeed, might in that
case enjoy repose for a few months ; but this deli;
cious calm would bp succeeded by 4 most horrible
storm, and the Continent would again see itself in-
undated with torrent) of blood, shed for the ambition,
of the Tyrant.
ihe'Allies leave the Usurper of the Throne of
France in the rank of a potentate, Bonaparte will
have risked nothing in the game ; he will have gained
much, when he had in effect lost all ; and he will
mock them to scam ! The confederation of the Mo-
narchs of Europe give hitii the crown of France I
Most extraordinary would it be, should legitimate
Sovereigns, wlso have seen Bonaparte make sport of
the dynasties of Europe, dethroning Kings and
Princes at his pleasure, and placing their crowns on
the heads of his upstart relatives—most extraordinary
would it be, should Sovereigns allied to avenge the
'iniquities and infamies of this monster, consent to
give the Throne of France to such an Usurper,- at a
tirrie when they could give it to its legitimate King,
and when this adventurer cannot even maintain him-
, self on the throne without their assistance.
The Allies, perhaps, hope. the conversion of 80.
napaFie - Vain expectation! As soon may the pir-
ilivorous vulture be cransfumod into iArgeptle dntat.

They believe, perhaps, that reverses have abated his
pride Extravagant credulity ! Therhelieve, per-
haps, that, Bonaparte will content himself with the
kingdom of France Unpardonable self-deception !
To make peace with Bonaparte would, in fact, be to
give him a military force with which to take ven-
geance. -It would restore him three hundred thou-
sand prisoners, and he would then have five hundred
thousand warlike troops. Thus he would be much
stronger than all the States bordering on France : and
the .more humiliating the conditions of peace weve,•so
much the less would he, thirsting after vengeance,
observe them.
With the formidable army which the return of the
prisoners would give him, and especially that of the
Officers and Generals whom he so greatly wants, he
would soon be in a situation to inundate Italy and
Germany anew, when the other powers,- and parti-
cularly Russia, had disarmed.
It is a manifest self-deception to think of confining
the torrent of Bonaparte's ambition. The Allies wish
for peace, the whole world desires it ; but it ought
not to be founded on the basis of the sai poviddir, or
on that of the :tau, qua prier to the present war ;
much less on the treaty of Fresburg,or of Luneville
it should be built on the ,flatus quo anterior to the Re.
volution, both in point of territory and policy : by
Consequence, the criminal dynasty of Bonaparte must
return to its original nothing. Without this princi-
ple, which we regard as indispensable, Europe will
in a short time suffer new horrors ; and the Cabinets
which do not now avail themselves of this favourable
-opportunity for dethroning the tyrant, will have to
deplore their irresolution, when it is too late to save
themselves from becoming its victims,
The Houses of Baden, Wurtemberg, and particu-
larly that of Austria, connected by marriage with the
new dynasty of France, may perhaps be some obsta-
de to the dethronement of Bonaparte ; but only by
its co-operation in this, can the House of Lorraine
wipe out the stain, which, according to its own de-
claration, it saw itself compelled to incur, either from
overwhelming circumstances, or to give repose to
Europe. And will not the House of Lorraine prefer
the peace of the world to the private interests of a
part of its family ? The same motive of giving re-
pose to Europe, which induced the Emperor to give
his daughter to the Oppressor of the Continent,
should now induce him to assist in the Tyrant's de-
thronement, because in no other way can that object
be attained. •

HALIFAX PAPERS.

ST. ALBANS, DECEMBER 12.

General Hampton's army is in winter-quarters at
Platzburic, and Wilkinson's at French Mills. Our
fleet is still at Platzburg, where it will remain until
that of the enemy shall have beeii confined to his own
quarters by the ice. Captain Bissel commands a forcr
of 1500 men at the Four Corners, which secures the
transport of provisions from Platzburg to Wilkin-
son's army.
FROM •THE ONTARIA MESSENGER, PRINTED AT CANAN.,
DA;GiItS) DECEMBER 14. •
We stop the press to announce to our readep the
important tntelli~►ence Just received from FortGleorge.
Colonel Dobbia informs us, that on the 10th instant
General M'Clure received information that the British
army, that had been at Burlington, had moved down
as far as Twelve-mile Creek, to attack Fort George,
where the militia had been principally discharged.—
In pursuance of orders from the Secretary of War,
the General finding it impossible, with his reduced
force, to defend the fort, ordered the village of Newark
to be destroyed, and Fort George to be razed to its
foundations. Most of the guns in the fort, and all
public property, were removed to Fort Niagara.
