We havtkiliWityilithfAtied oar stispiclots of '
ters, and.othes-dociswientsr said to be intercepted
on their postage( frOM one place to another. We
have a copy ofit Proclamation addressed by Jositiw
BoNAPArtte, hiettself. King of Spain, to the'
Spanish South Americans. It is a very singular
production, if genuine; for it advises the Spanish
colonies, in the case of their being unwilling to
submit to JOSErIIIB paterual:and just Government,.
44 to unite together all in a body, like good and
Affectionate brothers, and to; declare themselve.
free and independent of all the nation: in the
world." To treat this seriously would be hull.
crous! It would be ignorance of the course and
influence of political events, to suppose that
such a Proclamation was really issued, on the feeling
in the French Emperor (who directs all such affairs)
that it is better for him that Spanish America
should be independent, than that England should have
it. Me is a better politician. He knows, that Sduth
America free, would be a mine of wealth to us;

;...

ss bile, in our possession, it would be ruin t,, 4,1
We therefore treat this Paper as a fabrication, and
stall out trouble our Readers with the perusal of it.
We have given, in this da)'s Sr4res.wAx, an ar.
count of the affairs of the late Mr. Got.o.win,
which may be deemed, in some degree, as ()facially
put forth into the world. It gives occasion for 4
vast variety of observations, fur yr hich we have
little room. One or two, however, most not bo
omitted, for any other object. An indiridual
dies, and the Government feels a shock, as if
it were a private person, whose whole fortune
was locked up in that indivdival's hands ! Ithr
is this? What has Government to (Li with
rho death of an individual ? Oh ! the Public
Boards have issued three or four hundred thousand
pounds, in Exchequer Bills, to the individual, and
he has not brought the money for them! Very !
that is a serious evil ! But is the loss of 400,000.
(suppose it all gone) to shake the Government, or
even to alarm it with ungovernable fears ? Bit
if so, how come the Public Boards alluded to, in
this account, how come they to part with dirir
Exchequer Bills, except when they want money,
in which case the Bills go into the market, and
the produce is paid to the Board forthwith ? hit
not plain, that if the transaction between the
Boards and a Broker (n 9 matter whom) were a
fair one, the Boards could not lose the imAic

money, and get suddenly panic-struck by an iadiri.
dual's death ? No doubt it is. And here we see)
how it is that men rise so suddenly and rapidly)
into a kind of princely greatness—it is by using the
public money—it is out of the taxes paid by what,
and at the capence of the distresses of others! but
is high time that an end were put to all this. Let
Merchants stand on their own strength, and give
them only fair play, and they will get rich enough.
But do not prop them, out atilt sighs and sufferings
of others ! It seems, that the deceased intliti'ual
had money of the India Company's tvo— three I,un.
dred thousand pounds of, that ! Now the Company
borrowed this very money of the nation. It skews
no very great wisdom or 'providence in the Compa.
'ny's concerns, that they were obliged to ask the
Minister, to ask Parliament, to lend time* a brie
sum of money. But it shows them superlatively
supine, when they had gut the nation's money,
not to tAke care and use It only for their
own relief.—i-r-Where was Ask iitsgek ? Where
OAS Mr. RANDALL a.10100)Ns• (hat he did not .
advise them better ? Ho is nut foolish, and eke
:foolish, in all things; and if he did make an unwise '
speech at the Bant,he might have made somethiagof
a tet-off by pathetically advising and entreating the
India Company to keep the:money barrorivilfromific
