COMMUNICATION.

IN most Of the countries of Europewhich
have hecn made to bend to the yoke of Ma
poleon, the encfoachments of power have
been SO gradually progressive that it was
difficult to decide at what period of time to
date the expiration of their liberties: to no
country is this observation more applicable
than to Spain: on the one hand the progress
oftyranny was steady and unremitted, whilst
on the other the tame subserviencv OF aweak
monarch and trcacherous minister invited
It's mandates, until, to use the language Of
Mr.. Randolph, there was no Spain, " the
Pyrenees were no more" Napoleon be-
licving, from their tame submission, that it
was no longer necessary to hatter the Spa
niards with even the empty forms of their
ancient government, has obtained, by trea-
cherry, the persons Of the royal family,
who are held prisoners in France, and
has, appointed Murat, one of his cut
throat brethren, to the command of the
kingdom.--At this the spirit Of that
once gallant people appears suddenly to be
aroused, the diving embers of liberty are
enkindled to aanle, and noble enthusi-
asm ar,iiasates the whole Spanish nation
That they may be successful in their ardu-
Gus struggle and establish the independence
of their country must be the ardent wish Of
every friend to the liberty and happiness Of
inankind-That such are the wishes and
such the sentiments of the American people
have no doubt, but that such are the wish
es OF MIR. Jefferson and Mr.. Madison ]
:
Alexandria daily gazette, commercial & political. [volume] (Alexandria [Va.]) 1808-1812, 1808-08-13

think may very well be questioned. If we
look into the papers pablished under their
patronage we find no sympathy expressed
tor the sufferings of afflicted Spain, no In
dlgnant anathemas against the oppressor;
but, on the contrary, the Washington Mo-
nItor affects to think the Spaniards happy
under the fostering care of the great Napo-
leon, and that s" the Christening correction
OF war, and the ameliorating policy Of b.
'aaparte are required to improve their con-
dition.n
Mr.. Smith, in the National Intelligencer
of the 10th inst. has made a little display Of
I" the arts of an able editor" which I think
worthy Of remark-In the. publication of
the official documents on the subject of the.
Spanish revolution, the one which appears,
generally to have excited most interest has
been cut i'll twoby him & the frsthalf thrown
aside as unfit for the public eye. This might
be considered as a little extraordinary, but
when we reflect that the first part Of the pro-
clanatlon OF the marquis de Somerulos de-
tails, with great feeling of indignation, the
various acts of tyranny and treachcry which
Bonaparte has practised towards Spain, and
more especially when we consider the exalt-
ed terms ofapprobation and admiration with
which he speaks of the English nation, we
must excuse Mr.. Smith for the omission of
such matter, SO unfit for the columns of the
National Intelligencer. He has ushered
forth the fragment of this mutilated paper
with the following introduction: /" The pro-
clamation at some length details the events
of the Spanish revolution, of which were
already sufficiently apprized, and concludes
as follows" &c. Oh shame where is thy
blush
And yet, Notwithstanding such is the in
variable tenor of the government papers, we
are told by some that those who pay them
feel no undue partiality towards France.

gun carriage for artillery of every size and
descriptions, was exhibited at the navy yard in
the city of Washington, and we are happy to
say that the good opinion formed by Judges,
on sight of the model, was fully justified, to
the great satisfaction of all the spectators, a.
mol.g whom were several of the most expert
enced Objects in the service of the u. States
This carriage is admired for its simplicity ];
for the great savings in point of expence and
of safety, and for the facility in practice, for
which it is remarkable, Indeed it is the only
one we have ever seen, that can make the
barbett or complete covering battery as formi-
babe to the enemy as those with exposing
embrasures, The inventor.is Mr.. James Ro-
ban, of this city.-ypationat Inteligeneer.
