When we reflect upon the vicissi.
tudes of fortunes which nations under
go, there appears to be something in
them like divine retribution and in
no instance has this been more signal
than in the recent calamities which
have overwhelmed the Spaniards of
Europe. IF the Iucas of Peru or the
race of Mont yuma could, after CEN
turtles of death, revisit the world, they
would be amply grati6ed for the cru
elites they suffered from Cortez and
Pizarro, by the horrid ravages of the
French in the Peninsula. The fate
of Charles the fourth and Ferdinand
Is not very much unlike that of the a.
boriginal princes of the southern part
of the American continent. Cortez
seizedE Montezuma in his palace, and
Pisarro followed the example in reia-
ton to the reigniug Inca. Bonaparte
initiated these Plundering conquero s,
aud laid violent hands upon the whole
royal family of Spain, bearing them
off from Madrid to captivity in France.
With respect to the essential iniqui-
guilty of these several transactions, we
see no particular difference. The one
party being Indians and the other Spa
niards, cannot alter the case And,
it any thing, we should decide that the
fate OF the Indians was the verse, be-
cause their subjugation and mas eacre
was not so Immediately Oil at all) ne
cessary for the consolidation of the
power OF the then sovereign of Spain.
