LATEST FROM SPAIN.

q
After our paper was put to press we
were favoured with the Saiem Gazette, of
Saturday last, mentioning the arrival at that
port OF the ship Catharine, capt. Bickford,
in As days from Valencia, who brought
printed papers to Feb. ly,h. They do not
contain ANY official accounts. but their con-
tents afford abundant evidence that The pat.
riotic Spaniards continue the contest against
their cut throat invaders with zeal and ef-
feet.
The accounts Of the English army are,
that on their march to the sea coast OF CAL
laca on the Cd and 9th January they had
successful encounters with the French, bot
we find nothing of an official nature re spec

FRENCH BREACH OF TREATY

BY imprisoning, as is the constant
practice how in France, American Oh
fcers and seamen, belonging to vessel

the French are guilty of a glazing VIC
lation of their solemn treaty with us.

all cases where a vessel OF the citizens
of either party shall be CAPTURED OF

officers, passengers, and crew shall BE-

Scattering Statesmen.

The derang' and scattered situation
of our great, and good, and wise men
in Congress, at the close of the last
Session, is known TO all. 1t is not SO
generally known, that, at enc moment,
about half the members, and probably
a majority, were decidedly in fssor Of
War with Great Britain. Having as
certained that their constituents were
for Peace, and not daring to take upon
themselves the awful responsibility of
" changing the attitude of the nation"
they became bewiltlered, and wander
ed without landmark or guide, as sheef'
acifhom shefahera. In this the prayer
of the ancient Psalmist appears to have
been granted-Seafter the feotie that

APRIL ELECTION.

ON Monday last, the Freemen OF
this State gave in their votes for Gov
ernor, Lieut.. Governor and Senators.
Notwithstanding the most base and in
famous faishoods were circulated in
every part ofthe state in order to pre-
judiee the people against the federal
candidate, we can safely pronounce
that the Hon. CHRISTOPHER
GORE, is elected Governor OF this
Commonwealth. On this suspicious
event we most sincerely congratulate
the free and independent citizens not
only of Massachusetts, but throughout
the United States. Since Massachu-
sets became an independent State no
election was ever more interesting and
important than the resent one. 1t was
not a question merely whether MIR.
Gore or MIR. Lincoln should be COVER
nor, but a constitutional struggle OF
freemen for the recovery OF those rights
and privileges Which our democratic
rulers by their arbitrary and oppressive
measures, have unjustly deprived US
of. IfMr. Lincoln had been elected,
we should have had for Chief Magis-
trate, a man who approves and does
every thing in his power to continue
the ruinous embargo and nonintcr-
course laws-Laws which deprive the
Farmer of a good market for his pro-
duce, and the mechanic and laboL.er of
profitable employment, which shackles
our commerce with cruel and cxpen-
sive restrictions which causes great
scarcity of money, makes the times ex-
tremely distressing for the middling
and poorer classes of the community,
and gives the opulcnt an undue advan-
tage to speculate on the property oil
those who have been unfortunate and
are embarrassed in their circumstan-
ces. These are but few of tt evils
which have resulted from that system
Of policy which the would be governor
Lincoln approves and practices. But
be it known to the would be tyrants and
oppressors ofthe people that there is
a large majority of the electors of this
state who are honest and enlightened,
who will never tamely abandon their
rights their independence or their liber-
ty to any party of men whatever.
They recollect the prosperity and
happiness they enjoyed under the wise
policy of Washington. Adams, and
Strong,--and at the same time,
they will never forget the ruin which
has been brought upon them by the
policy Of such men as Jefferson and
Lincoln.

Our democratic lawmakers have
uniformly, until Bonaparte announced
himself the Champion of the freedom of

to find some plausible pretext for turn

assist the French Emperor in his glo-
rious enterprise. The idea of running
to the mountains is abandoned, and
even the author of that scheme, Gen
NELSON, as well as Mr.. GILES, is in
favour of limited Navy. Last year
