SPAIN.

Sir Robert Wilson has forwarded some statements of
the actual condition of several parts of Spain, which will
cheer the hearts, anokstimnlate the hopes, of those who
wish well to that country, and yet fest that it is not in'
its power to make an effectual resistance. Sir Robert,
on the contrary, loas no fear for the result ; —lin: if there
were any doubt, while a hope remsins, while one
Spaniard extends his arm to wield a ,owzo of in defence
of ;lie native liberty, it is our business, as men, as citizens
of the world, as friends to humanity and justice, to put
arms into his hands, and cheer him for his exertions in
the comnows cause. To prolong the contest a day, nap
ao boor, is worth sons:thing:—
" A day, an hour, of virtuous liberty.
'• Is worth a whole eternity in bondage."

man's death. But the person who will most probsbly,fill
this high and important situation, is the amiable and

g
' selves , they manifest the most smite sensibi-
lity, a spume of mind fee beyond their sitnation in
lite. The Mae of feeling manifested by the House, is
remarked to have no slight effect oe their conduct.-The
enactment of what Senators call protective measures, is
sure to 'screen the fervor of theiropposition to what they
Irellilkperhaps with more trade, term oppressive. The
'eamnimidea of Bradlee King red the triumph (as it Is
einied)of the Orange party. has given a deep stab to
' die tree. of Ireland-it has roused all those slumbering
passions which teligions persecution boot previously ex-
cited, and were now sinking to repose-all those angry
fends which it was oar policy to have ginned, are again
'blown into a dame, and barn with a fury that menaces
a circle and general desolation.-The bringing forward
the examination of the Sheriff of Dublin, was, fur many
very weighty reasons, a most ill-advised an I senseless
measure; but its abandonment, at such a crisis, whew
the attention of the whole country was stretched to the
crack point, betraved, at once, the weakness and the
iojastice of those by whom it was promoted. When the
scruples of a mart, bound up by an obligation that Par-
liament pronounced illegal, protected him from secreting
at the bar of the House of Commons, bow shall any in-
ferior tribunal, presume to punish for administering or
subscribiag to illegal oaths hereafter-when such sanc-
tion is afforded to oue unlawful Society, here shall it be
refused to another? The ieferenee drawn from this eir-
cenistanee is, that instead of a Uovernmeot, merely Pro.
testant, it has become Orange Protestant, the most hate-
ful colour with which good Protestants can deck them-
selves. Party feeling and religious animosity have too
lone distracted and divided this country, and now that
they were beginning to subside, ibis unfortunate busi-
ness tears open the wounds which time had. somewhat
healed. The stained page of the Statute Book, with all
its pains and penalties, its vexatious limitations, and pro-
scriptivedscrees, is once more unfolded, as if some dark
and mysterious policy, inauspicious to the happiness of
man, was endeavonneg to destroy the small remnant we
enjoy. It was; in trash, the most inconsistent and
thoughtless suggestion, and I only wonder that it was
listened to for a moment justice might have urged,
but policy should have forbidden its consideration.
