Of the proposition, that freemen will always

WAS conquer machines. Bonaparte's ar
mics are now mere machines; on the num-
bers and strict discipline of his forces he de-
nends for success. The fire Of freedom
has long since ceased to burn in the bosoms
of his men: they are driven to battle as cat
tie are driven to slaughter, and victory or
defeat is to them the same. Such armies
such machines, put in motion and guild
ed by such desperate as Bonaparte,
are indeed terrible to the human race.
The world must SITTER while such scourge
is welded over mankind; and empires,
kingdoms and states must be crushed be-
Meath its weight. But when once it is at
tackled by trecmen-+lnen who fight Tor
themselves, their wives aud their children;
rs powerful as /, is, it must be broken. and
finally be crumbled to dust.
The Spauards seem destined to be the
destruction of the mighty emperor. The
WAYS of Providence are wonderful and a
bove the comprehension OF short sighted
mortals! A nation which the destroyer
considered the weakest III the world, has
proved to Be too strong Tor him. a people
which he BATTERED himself he could conquer
by decree, has resisted successfully his
strongest ard largest armies, and has given
check to his lmpetuosity which nc will

SPAIN. We have ALWAYS been Of OPT
MON that the Spaniards would finally sue
coed in their resistance to the tvrant OF
France. From the opposition which EN-
perors or kings can make 70 the modem
Alexander, we-have very little hopes. lhe
power Of moDarchs has long since become
itnpotent. But the power Of freedom is II
resistable. The viii Of nan is unconquer-
able and let a.nation individually and col
lccsively will It's freedom, aud it Will be
free. Bonaparte may destroy the Spanish
r.,onarchy--he may overthrow the Austrian
empire, the kingdom d Prussia-the re-
publ,cs of Holland, Switzerland end Italy,
and he may annihilate the temporal power
of the Pope, but he cannot stlhdue peo-
pie determined never ia submit.
1t is has long been known that aailitary
tactics against aspirited enemy, where eve
ry man is soldier, and every soldier be
70, are of no avail. This has been proved
to demonstration in this country; bothin
the old French wars, and in the revolution
which gave birth to our nation. The French
general, Baron Diskaw, came from Cue.
bee in tie beginning Of the last French war
before the revolution; he commanded a
well appointed army, and was confident
that he should be able to make conquest Of
the defenceless English colonies. He was
defeated, and his army utterly destroyed,
by Sir William johnson, with his Mohawks
and few resolute hunters. Gen. 3raddock
with well disciplined army was defeated,by
a few struggling Canadians, and Idians on
his way to Pittsburg, then called Fort du-
Quesue. And General Burgoyne with the
flower of the English army, was captured
by the New England militia undersGeneral
Gates. Many instances might be produced
from battles fought in the time the French
revolution, and more from those fought re-
Gently by the Spaniards, to prove the truth
