opulent county (Devon) ever ready to fore ard the cause

the advertisement, we doubt no. there will be a full and
respectable at tentlance.—(Affred.)
CUPAR.—The party here who follow the political faith
of the Ministry, have shown an apathy in the came of
Spain that accords very ill with their professed condem-
nation of the principle on which the French Bourbons
have acted in their attack on that kingdom. The sub-
scription begun some weeks ago, has hitherto been almost
as exclusively supported by Whigs, as though it bad
been one for the 'offerer; at Manchester, or tir Sir
Robert iVilson. To the Tories—whose backwardness to
assist the Spaniards in a struggle for every thing that is
dear to man, shows that they either secretly approve of
the attempt to crush their independence, or are totally
indifferent about such matters—the aphorism of Holy
Writ may be applied, " By their fruits ye shall know
them." Those in this district who wish well to the
cause of Spanish freedom, have still an opportunity of
contributing to its support, by calling at the shop of dlr.
