different parts of Spain have been received .

doubt their assertion, the arrival OF tins ne"

Bonaparte is said to have received MN "ssn

missed, sent him under all escort OF french
troops to Bayonne. What right have we then

Gaul who will throw his sword into the scale,
and thus decide the cause.
In every step which Bonaparte has taken IN
this cvcntful scene, he has displayed studied
contempt for Spain, a determinations to DO
every thing to wound her pride, and to prove
to her that be means TO treat her as conquer
ed country. Wherever the least oppoailon
has been made to his viii, he had used force,
as in the instance OF seizing the fortress Of
Pampsfuna and other places. The French
troops are in want OF clothes, and contribute

armoury of Spaia. And this sword is ,mme-
diatcly delivered to him by the new king,
who is to restore the apcient glory and re-

1t is impossible therefore to consider the
late revolution as having been brought about
on the part of the new king with those iesls

every effort for the deliyerance of his coun

in him but the tool of France. The people
are influenced by patriotic sentiments; they
believe that measures will be changed because
the monarch has been changed, and that be
