A cliseu%sinn arose on the Law-Project relative to

wards some families dies not prevent others from
taking their customary diversions. Several balls and

With regsril to Spain, we do not think It possible
to change our political Monarchy. Invulnerable by
ostr position, guarded by the Pyrennees, the ocean,
and oar national spirit, our method is our own, and
snit' only oarselres. We have 'no forced contact
ith .aliy Power on the Continent, excepting Portu-
gal, which does not in the least disturb us. England
may oppose our communication with our colonies, in
ease orwar ; hut we are. familiar wit this idea, and
comnlquently.it does
,not intimidate us. Spain was
of more value in herself before the di:covery of Ame-
rica. This idea censo!es us. The king is adored
by the most numerous class in the Sate. The Clergy
are entirely devoted to the Government, and even
the number of mal.contents is less to be feared. We
have only to dread the embarrassod state of our
finances. With regard to other affairs, let foreign
nations undeceive themselves. Spain exists on little,
and the plethurss of luxury excite no regret in a
people to whom they are unknown. When it rains
in the month of May the Peninsula is rich ; that. is
to say, all oar must necessary wants are abundantly
supplied by the fertility of the' Sun. The calcula.

unalteeible, what have we to fair or to Cara for ?
