TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.

SIR—I beg leave, by means of your public-spirited
Paper, to refer your Readers to a very curious ex-
tract, selected from Arndt's Spirit of the nine,.
This Work was written in November, 1805, ant
published by the unfortunate and heroic PA r, u, ei
Erlangen, at that time when any one, publicly assert-
ing that the Spaniards would soon be roused from
their lethargy, and overwhelm their oppressors v.:itit
terror and dismay, could not but expect to be ti Bated
as a wild visionary.
But AIINDT, likenytelf, from the character of the
Spanish people, was always of a different op'nion;
'and, after having traced the degradation or toe Spa-
nish nation to its original cause, their loss of their
ancient liberty and laws, the horn rs of the lnqu;si.
tion, with the destruction of their free press, he pl
their national character in a proper point of view--
and from the, nature of their country, and the noblt-
spirit of its inhabitants, he anticipates the appi oadt
of better times, which are so like the present, that 1
feel assured your Readers will be highly grafted
with the following extract. Atttinr says, page '213
in the original, and page 11 in the translation—
" The time of redemption for Spain will come; Spain will re-
cover life and strength by her own exertion, ai;d flowish the
more slorkously on that account. The Priests will be stripped
of theft glory, and the King of his Throne, if he does not Site
the management of the helm in his own hands. Thvn the Sp -
niuds will again become, whet :Ivy once pore, oat of the me t
admired and mast powerful Nations ix Ely. pt."

BOXIAG.

The Match between Pine, the Wiltshire Gipsy (backed at
Ascot Heath by Captain FaaneLni),;for twenty-five guineas,
and B. Strong (backed by a Bk. Jitavonr), took place in an in-
closure belonging to Mr.. Jenvinsit at Fairfield, a part detached
from Windsor Forest, yesterday, ;ad it was a game give and take
fight. The Seconds were—Brooks, the Cricketer, for Strong ;
and one of the Gipsy tribe for Pine. -
In the first round,and directly after. *eking hands, Pine placed
two hits on his adversary's head, which unwired the claret. A
rally followed, and line was thrown a heavy cross-buttock, and
both hied freely.
2. This round lasted seventeen minutes, and both fought fear-
lessly at the heacL, until they had nat.& hit left. Igor' heavy
blows were exChanged, and both fell when wrestling.
3. Pine had a track on the jaw, which was heard roend the
ring; inn hatead of hying denied, be mum waled, and fought very
game, and had the best of the round, from me, zing his ,:.an with
left-handed facers at going in, when the round closed by Strong
being droppednya hit in the wind..--Two to one on the Gipsy.
4th, sth, and 6th rounds produced but little mischief, from
the exhausted state of the men, as the hat hour had been mos-
pied in real fighting. • • • .
Here the men had time to get round, but their distorted tea.
nuns got worse, and Strong's right eye was in tininess. 'Two
huge countrymen, with staves, made their app, arence, and told
the men they must gee o'er/den, .for Parson Sleek bad sent
to tell etas so. Some of the nubs held a council, and the constlh:„-:
were brought over to stay and see the remainder oC th,:. fight'
It lasted, hoWever but four other rounds, threc cf which
were the beet-eontosted of any in the battle, and the ring bore a
claret hue in every part. It was 3tol on the Gip” in the last
round, when be received a quietus by a heavy hit on the tentric.
and it was several minutes before he recovered.
Strong, although the victor, was the most punished. Trn
pounds were gathered fc.- the loser.

Ann Lou Cratax.—Mr. Grattan having, at a Public aleetirg
ktely held in the City. of Dublin, made use of etipteasioa:s
which Lord Clare conceived to reflect upon the late Lord
Clare, his father, and having declined either to explain or qua-
lify them, the parties met yesterday morning in Hyde Palk(
when Mr. Grattan, having received Lord Clare's fire, instantly
fired in the air. The friends present having given their opinion
that the affair could proceed no farther, Mr. Grattan came for-
ward in the handsomest manner, and stated, that having now
met Lord Clare in the field, and having given the satisfaction re-
quired, he was then willing- to admit he was wrong in havi
made use of such expressions, on which the parties immediately
shook hands, and the affair terminated.
AWFULLY &MUM Deatvw.-An awful and melancholy every

jn front of the entrance to the House of Peers, set apart for the
KiNo. Mr Cum, the Engineer in the Artillery, who has had
