SEVIl.LE.

This place is the capital of Andalusia.
and formerly was the Emporium of the new
world; it contained at that time 10000
looms and 1870, 600 persons were employed,
but there are now only 400. The chief
manufactures are Of silk and recently snuffs.
The tobacco employs go manufacturers.
Seville s-esteemed the chief city of Spain,
Madrid being only a fo7on distinguished by
the royal residence, but it contains very
near double the population OF the first. 1t
is of circular form, fortified with strong
works and fanked by high towers.
The country about it is extremely fertile
in corn, wine, sc. and there is abundance
of oil for to the w. of the river'is grove
OF Olive trees SO miles in length It is about
IS miles from the Atiant c. ii2 w. of Gre
NADIA, and 212 s. by w. of Madrid.
We are told that John RANpoLPh is
making every effort, not only to preserve,
but to acquire popularity, and that he has
become as "sweet as summer without be-
ing even ''lnf:y and sour to those that love
h m nos" His activity has never been so
arden. and unremittingi in any previous cleo
ton. He IN xes with all classes, and talks
with every be ", in the fruitless epdeavor
of exciting distrust, discomfort and hatred,
against the administration; if this is the
case, we are confident that he viii enjoy
his own winters fire side, for it is impossi-
bic that the people can Cooperate in a
scheme 81 repete with baneful tendencies.
We can bur expect that MIR. X. has over
reached himself, that the flame he has kin
died, will be his owD destruction. g Pdriter-
qHe incendit cf ardcs The efforts and in
trigues ofthls Salmagupd' opposition, require
the most undivided and uudiminished exer-
tions % defeat them, for which purpose lt
is only necessary for the people to be true TO
hemseiUes. This chain OF opposition runs
thro' the north anc links every thing that is
Unfriendly o the government.
At time like this. the most ordinary
share of regard FOR ones country should
exact silence ifnot appreciation ofit's pub
lie measures. In what light then should
we consider those persons VINO eDdeavur %
rdicue cur national character as 10Y for
The world, and at the same time are en-
! pioying every means TO urge the people on
to clamorouS disaRectIon IT net rebellion.
