The real seal exaggerated importance of the in-
sorrectionavy movements which have lately agi-
tated ar.d alarmed our otruatry, has prevented us
from following closely the progress of the revolu-
tion in Spain. But as the greatest alarmists them-
-esters nnw confess that tranquillity is restored and
danger removed, we shall area ourselves of a state
of calm, which we sineerely hope may not be tem-
porary, to examine whether the Spanish Patriots
have realized the expectations of their friends,
or the calumnious aaticipetions of their enemies.
Proscription and slaughter, we were Iptd by the
French Ultras, would immediately follow the
triumph of the national cause, sod regicide was
darkly hinted at as an event for which it would be
lierenannoble not to be prepared. Yet, when we
look over the whole extent of Spain, we do not
end that in any town or village, even where the
agents of despotism were most severe in their
exacticr.s, and most relentless in their cruelties,
say sacrisce has been tiflbred to revenge.—
We see. ii.ileed, men like ELIO, covered with
the blood of murdered patriots, denounced by
genteel °dirt, slid detained to answer far'
their eiausidit the bar of *nit eountq ; bat
we parcei,n,no individeni set, Ito popular tu-
mult, none of there ewe.* memetions, of which,'
though the justice cannot be impugned, the manner!
itidiran an object of blame. Neither can it be
mid, BM it is the prompt submission of the
Illnlyttlists, Mid their abstinence from violence and
Mooed, which has produced :I corresponding degree
qt tenger on the part of their opponents. Never

.i. t , greater provocations been offered to the feri-
as whole nation, than those which delivered
the ihhabitants ofone of its principal cities, without
' ;TPl.lllllllllllolofligeorffeit.. le the sword of intoxicated
td! In no other country upon earth would the
massacre have been peniahed by other hands
than those of an indignant and exasperated people.
The course of the laws would have been suspended,
and the horrors committed in the phrenzy of fanatic
Royalism, 4miuld have been repaid with blood and
flame in dill nay of popular insurrection. How
lilt
differeitt, * w' noble a spectacle of temper,
respect to? "the laws and magnanimity, does
not Spain present to an admiring world ! Even
the wildest excesses of her oppressors, and the
premeditate] assassination of her sons, have
not been atle to turn her from the pure, steady,
and impastable majesty of her course. Her eves
are fixed on the attainment of Constitutional
freedom : all other consideratiens are as dust in the
helance, ht venge Is too tow a thought to be enter-
taistel ; it would Foliate and degrade the sublimity
of her Views.. Revenge is, therefore, cast aside as a
tainted gement, and all hearts unite in facilitating
the sole object A% hicb is worthy of a lofty-minted
:ted enlightened people. Such is the conduct of
that nation. from whom nothing less than massacre
and regicide were to be expected ! Such isi the
rval:zntion of those prophecies, which soothed the
diner; and excited the hopes of the legitimate
Ultras fil „.-:•ince ! But let detraction lour forth

It was yesterday reported in the City, that C*7-
thageea and Santa Martha had declared their in-
dependence, and to this it was added, that Ceraccas,
had been taken. On inquiry, we found the re-
port was brought by a vessel from Jamaica, which
place, it is said, she left on the 3d March, conse-
quently we aro unable to state what credit is due
to it. The twu first circumstances may have hap-
_

pond, though we deem them extremely impro-
bable, from the state of things, when the accounts
previously received came away ; but, u to tho
capture of Caraccas, it could not take place with-
out long slid hard lighting, Morillos's lines were so
formidable. Letters from Barbadoes, dated the Sth
ifare,L, were received yesterday, but on this sub-
ject they are perfectly silent. We understand
there are numbers of vessels in the mouth of the

Channel, unable to make n port in consequence of
the sudden prevalence of the N. E. winds; we may,
therefore, expect soon to know with certainty what
has occurred on the Spanish Main, either Lv arri-
vals from the West India Islands or the United
States.
The Ultra Journals announce, that the Duke
Drones has written to the English Ambassador,
stating that he will arrive at Paris on the 16th
instant, and set out five days afterwards for Lon-
don.—(eonettfulionnei.)
