But leaving their prior numbers, we viii
hrst take q look IT 1903 and from the ne
cessity of cQnciseness, the great body of er-
eeAence must be passed over, and detached
remarks substituted.
Looking at their Review of Teachers Dis-
course, (page 81, Jan. lsos,) we have hit up
on few kicks at FRANKLIN, who, (ssiti asv-
fi! Submission 10 the gentlemen Reviewers Dc
ii said J We have generally thought deserv-
ed better treatment. But the thing shall
speak for itself" That DR.. Franklin had un-
common native togvers, s;dH nor Be confrovert-
ed; very well. OR his superiority in econ
omick or political science xiii nor noyv 6e
universally acknowledged His chief merit
rests on Me osse and simplicity ef his style.
His fiiiosothy sras often customary, and he had
no religion his fIoliticai integrity is queSfiOaa-
bic among MS friends, and his moral turiryis
the jest Of his enemies" sc. The vile abuse
which this paragraph contains, can hardly
need comment Should a refutation be of
anyuse, we leave it to some other opportunity.
Almost any person but the gentlemen Re
viewers, would have told us that the Doctor
had other traits Of merit more important even
than his " simplicity of style," however high
ly he might excel in either. AS PHILoso-
PIER, STATESMAN and MoRALIsr, which
characters have acquired him Immortality,
our excellent Reviewers reject him with con-
tempt
Under the same article they express, with
CONSERVATION, their I" gVonder and regret az
the HlCH wHIc notions, which run through"
Mr.. Thacher's Discourse and speak as won-
deynHy of " the u',su6stantiai visions on civI
liberty Of Price and Prizes b and many qft6eir
literary associates and adqlirers," and of the
romantick H6eraHfy Of the doctrines Of Mr..
1hacher on the same sn6ieet," sc. sc. But

FROM SPAIN.
CFrom the Phladeibha Aurora. }

From the Philadelphia aurora
By the ship Bordeaux, Captain Law, 81 days from
Cadiz, the advices such, as every man who
not infatuated, expected
The Spanards, destitute Of science, discipline, con
fdence in each other, adequate knowledge Of the
proper mode Of using the means which they possess
ed, have suffered defeat, wherever they have waited
for close action, and dsmay and disaster pervades
the whole of those, who made at first formidable
an array of armies. The Il great armies Of $4,000
men, have disappeared as the snow before the verna
sun and the usual consequence ofimbecility holding
the rens of government, has been the total loss Of
confidence, and the secession of the ablest men, who
were placed only in secondary or obscure places.
Gen. Morla,w who governed Cadiz, when the French
fleet was summoned to surrender and who
subsequently appointed captain general of the Span
sh artillery and who sent To settle terms of
capitulatio, for Madrid, has submitted to the new
dynasty, and been reapponted governor of Cadiz at
which place he had arrived and at that place perfect
order and tranquility is stated to have been restored
The Spanish general, Blake, who in the carly sta
ges the conflict displayed much intrepidity in
resisting the French, has also submitted to the new
dynasty, and with considerable force under his CON-
mand, joined the French army.
The fate Of some Of the unfortunate Spanish gcncr
ais may, doubt, have led TO this state OF things
one commander who was unfortunate, was stoned TO
death by the troops he commanded.
Another eas executed a publick gibbct-
Whether these generals ignorant themselves, or
that the r sodiery were once ignorant, undisciPn
ed, and feroious, or whether the commanders and
soldiers were all alike, is not cern but the fate Of
these commanders was not calculated to inspire gen
ius nor TO stimulate virtuous valour.
The Spanish general Cucsta escaped barely with
disgrace notwithstanding his prowess and success
over Dupont.
The Spanish general Castonos, after suffering to-
tai defeat, had no method Of escape from the ven
gcaace of those soldiers whose Imbecility was
perhaps the true cause q: the defeat than by being

NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION.

The Botscn Gazette OF Monday last states, that
Mr. SMITH is elected by majority of 1879.
The Chronicle of the same day, states, on the au-
thority of letter. dated .4nterst NJ April l, from
gentleman of veracity that there s choice by tie
people, being more than 400 scattering votes. That
of the Council, three Republicans and two Federaists
are elected Of the Senate, .here chosen SIX Re-
publicans and five Fedcrasts-in district there
is choice. In the House of Representatives, it is
ascertained there will be Republican majority of
four"
We do not pretend to say which of the above state
ments is correct; but cannot refrain from noticing
that the account given in Wednesdays Clast week
Cent'e was nearly similar to that of the Bostsn Ca
zette given above but that the Centiel the Sat-
urday following, reduced the majority to about 500
while the statement in the Chronicle, the authority
of number of different letters appears to have been
uniformly the same.
