in Spain sufficient number o. the enemy 2
troops to intinidate us. hat troops there
are, are composed Of different nations, O.
bliged by force to serve, and VINO aroently
desire TO break the chains which have been
/ imposed on them. The situations which they
have taken are those most suitable 60 con-
quer and destroy them. They are besides
weak and dismayed, because the conscious
ness Of his own wickedness, makes the most
| valiant man coward.
All Europe will applaud our efforts with
the highest satisfaction and Will hasten 20 as
| sist us. Italy, Germany, the whole North,
which suffers under the iron desPotlsm OF
that nation, will eagerly improve the tortu-
nate opportunity which SPAN presents 70 e.
nancpate themselves and recover their IL
berty, their laws, their monarchs, and every
thing of which the hand Of violence has de-
prived them. France herself will hastento
avoid the infamy which would cover her
should she be forced to be the instrument OF
such horrible perfdies. No, she will rot
spill her blood in so vile CAUSE. She has
suffered enough in the expectation Of peace
and happiness which will never arrive, until
she will BE under the empire OF reason, OF
relision, Of the laws, and until the rights
of other nations shall be respected and pre-
served.

which that religion alone promises aid can
procure to you ard your descen.' anrs, are
IN manifsst, in near, and in imminent dan
ger.

| from Madrid from person Of respectable
! ty, we learn that on the 26th of May coun-
/ ell was held in that city the whole evening,
| and even until the next day (; that dispatches
! arrived from the provinces or Valencia, Ar
ragon, Old Castle and Gallacia, declaring
! war against the French. The prince Of
Berg lefft the city, and it is said in the house
called Monclcva, that there are no longer
| any grand reviews Of the French troops,
and that every day their force diminishes.
Surely God, who has always combatted for
his people, has noe forgotten how to conqaer
! his enclZlies.
