That, after being well acquainted with the
state of affairs IN Spain he should suffer such
force to remain near the sea coast, open to
the communication and access OF the Eng.
. lish, appears quite uncomfortable. It is SC
much cut of his usual track ofconduct, that
some politicians, who are not ii general apt
tobe very sanguine, begin to Aatter them
selves, that as no human abilities are equal
to every possible exigency, Bonapartc IS
himself at last In q situation which einbar-
rass him. They would willingly hope that
the novelty OF the resistance which he has
experienced in one quarter, aud the variety
/. OF objects which demand his attention in O.
theirs, are at length Beginning to disturb his
hitherto mistaken frmness, and to diminish
the usual resources OF his mind. Itperhaps
] would De toe much TO indulge such an exPce-
teton bur certainly the iastetwo months
have produced a train OF events, succeeding
each other IN one consistent tenor, OF a ma
tare SO different to the usual course of 30
naparec 5 career, that tlie Elos5 responding
cannot resist an impulse OF hope.
