SpAIN.--We do not recollect to have az
pe1ienced more pleasure IN the comnlunica-
ton of any information, than we felt in an
nouncing the intelligence respecting that
country, given in Cur last. It IS not the in
serest of this nation or that nation, Except
our own that has any influence with Us for
the independence Of nations, We are, and e
yer have been the advocate. The contest
IN which Spain (and we may say Portugal
also) is now engaged must claim the sympa-
thy and hest wishes Of every real friend to
the freedom aud happiness Of nlankind.--
Our wishes ere rot directed by any preju-
dices against France, for we believe that
France would be much happier ard ulti-
matsly more powerful nation, if she could
st a limit to her ambition, Or TO that OF her
present ruler.
But VIII Spain succeed in this effort &c 6
snancipate herself At the first view the
contcs. appears too arduous to hope for
success. When 1ullole people resolve to.
be free, it IS only 70 will il, andfhsy VIII be
free. The example OF France herself might
he given to prove the truth Of our assertion.
At the commencement Of her revolution, the
enthusiast, CT liberty, inspired her undisc;
p!ined volunteers, and the veteran legions Of
Europe, commanded by the most experience
ed generals Of the age, were driven with dis
grace from the contest.
z 1.-THE people of Spain and Portugal are
faithful to themselves, they cannot be subdu-
ed, but by force, whose numbers would
prove its own destruction for want of SUBJ
sistence. We understand that the local po-
sition Of Spain is admirably calculated for
defensive warfare, from Its numerous noun
tains and dcfles.
Much may also be expected and hoped
from example-Ihs nations of Europe,
