RETROSPECT OF POLITICS,
For THE WEEK.


The anxious expectation in which we
have been for some time, of intelligence
from the theatre of war, has in sone mea-
sure been satisfied, though not precisely in
the manner we could have hoped. Our ia
formation, however, is still very scanty,
though it is SO far sufficient to ensure our
conclusion, that General Blake has met with
some serious reverses in
SPAIN;
but we still feel some consolation in the
hope, that, although we have no doubt of
the several conflicts in which he has been
engaged, his being enabled TO effect his re-
treat in good order, without being attacked
by an army 50 much superior to him. We
know not how to account for this, but that
the right wing Of the French army mus:
either have suffered greatly in these coati-
nual contests, which prevented them from
pursuing their advantages, or that they were
in want of provisions, or some other neces-
sary means to enable them to pursue, or,
which may be as probable as either of these,
they were Immediately dispatched to rein

FROM THE BOSTON REPERToRY.
Il sEpdR,1TYoN OF TEE STATES.

Il SEP1R,7T7OV OF TEE S1H1ES.
WE are compelled again to introduce
this subject by the base attempts, which are
necessarily made to misrepresent the views
of the federalises in New England. The
faIsehood of the allegations against them is
so we'll known and understood here, that
Notwithstanding the hvpocritical outcrv of
our democratic papers, we should think no
reply necessary, did it not appear that our
friends al the southwark are, some OF them,
alarmed by the imposition.
To such VIC venture to pledge ourselves
by the most solemn assurances, that no Peo-
pie in any section of the union are more sim
cerely attached to the federative compact,
none more highly appreciate the advantages
of union, none more sincerely depreeate a
nv event which might tend 70 destroy it,
than the federalists of New-Engiand.---
When it suits the views of northern tories
and southern demagogues, they consider
the 3epertory as proclaimingth the sentiments
of the most active and decided tederallsts
in this part of the country. We taken them
at their word, and therefore demand in just
ice, that the sentiments we avow be the test
to Judge of the opinions of our friends. 1t
will not suit the unprincipled views of those
who would rivet upon US the chains of sla-
very and PROSTATE our happiness, to receive
and admitour professions. But the fede-
ralists of the south will acknowledge our
sincerity, and discard all their untounded
alarms.
A dissolution of the union is an event
which we solemnly believe every class OF
people in the north view with horror, and
the federalists will spare no pains or exer-
tons to perpetuate the integrity of our go
vernment. But there is storm gathering
over our heads, which does e1adanger the u
nion, and this they are uniting all their pow
err to avert. The union is not endangered
by any prospect of direct and formal sepa-
ration of the states 1t is endangered By
the absolute iapractica6iHty Of that system
of oppressive measures, zvhich our general
government haze adopted.
Nothing is more true than that the rights
of the people have been grossly violated by
the total introduction of commerce, and the
tyrannical powers which have been vested

NEW-ENGLAND.

We copy from the Boston repertorv, a de-
fence of the proceedings in New-hng-
land. 1t will be observed, that federal
lists there, who are a great majority, style
their opponents, the democrats, t2r1es ;:
this is as unfair as the conduct OF those
democrats who live in states where they
belong to the majority Baltimore TED.

papers to March IS.
The. subioined extracts embrace the prin-
,cipal intelligence they contain on general
subjects. No positive information had
reached England of hostilities having acsu-
ally taken place between Austria s France;
although lhe papers contain new and reiter-
ated assurances, that the event must take
place, and that the declaration of war and
proclamation to the armies, were ready for
publication. This great and unexpected
rupture.is presumed to have arisen from the
interference of Austria in bringing about a
peace between England and the Sublime
Porte. Russia is expected to side with
Austria, to stand aloof from either side
Sweden is resolute in the continuance Of
war--and the Porte has agreed to aid Aus
tria in hersruggle against France. Bona
