conflagration began in one of the corners of the
principal street. In the evening they set fire to the
street of Eseotill, and On the next morning to that of
Payueto ; in the same evening to Juan de Bilboa,
and to the'new square; in truth, the city was me-
thodically and 'progressively set on fire, in the situa-
tions where the pillage was completed. ,-,The enemy

" But let us turn Our eyes from these atrocities,
which are sufficient to deprive us of our senses, and
let us not forget the trade which, in time of peace,
was conducted from St. Sebastian with France, and
which were so injurious to the interests of Great
Britain. Let us also remember that it was a maritime
port, and that under a wise Government, at little ex-
pence, it might have been converted into an useful
station. It should also be noticed that Gen. Gra-
ham
.when he withdrew to Oyargnn, did not recom-
mend to the neighbouring people to extingellet the
conflagration until the fifth
.day, when t whole was
crumbled With the dust. • • - ' -

city, which has known how to preserve its adher-
ence to the good cause, surrounded by French
bayonet's, for a period of six years, during 'Whit
has been separated from the Government to which it
belongs. Let us compassionate the lot of Pamplona,
Tortosa, Barcelona, &c. if they are to experience
the same catastrophe as St. Sebastian, and we may
justly fear that the inhabitants of those places will
take arms against the besiegers, if' some means be not
adopted to restore confidence. It ought to be known
that the Spaniard who would defend his" own fire-
side, is an enemy to him, be he who he May, that
can make sport of his character. .

SPA NI H PAPER.

The licentiousness of the press at• Cadiz has been
the subject of complaint. The Toper tailed Et Du-
:ende de los ()Ores, • which may be • translated, TAO
Lounge of Coffee Houses, has inserted a letter, to
'which it has affixed the title of " Sebastian Dto
ttroyed." We have had some doubt of the pro-
priety of giving It publicity in the British journals,
but as it will appear in all the foreign Papers, and as,
it is right that this country should be made acquainted
bath with the truths and the calumnies that are pub-
lished regarding his Majesty's subjects, we have de-
'ermined to give it circulation, that the nation may
be vindicated from the ignominy'. The journal into
which it is introduced accompanies the letter with
the following observations:—

Invasion is now the order of the day !—France is

the Prises so numerous, and the Tickets to few, that
every person of sense and spirit is pressing into the
Offices to purchase. This is certainly the searon to
secure wealth and happiness, and the people are fully
justified in this grand Invasion of the Temples of
Fortune.

and losses were repaired which the Allied Arty had
sustained in the unfortunate at ack upon Dresden,
Icouncils of war were frequently held to deliberate on
the propriety otagaits advancing and hazarding a se-
