the conflicts and revolutions Of Europe,
Spain has never Deen conquered. She
has been partially subdusol, but has me-
yer sunk under the panick OF defeat.
The swords Of heroes has resounded
upon her shield but she has recorded
her valor ON the helmets Of her assai-
lants. Beaten to her mother earth. she
has risen, like Anieus, stranger from
her fall. Napoleon, the modern Tar
tar, may march over her territory but
never subjugate it. Every obstacle of
nature, every principle OF man, every
hope OF heaven, are III arms to oppose
him. Wherever the csc turns, Spain
glitters. One soul is every where /;
one spirit brealhs through all life Vir-
gins and wives give enthusiasm 10
courage, while old age and childhood
lend ,anctiiy TO patriotism. The whole
region is alive above and below, on
hills and in valleys, the empire is 10
motion. Sanguine of his fortune, the
tyrant may be tempted by his intoxica-
ted vanity, TO penetrate the interior OF
the country. But here his royal BROTH
or, the prlncely Tourist, should remem-
Der, that this is the extreme bound Of
his geographical curiosity ;-the
:" bourne, from which, no traveller re-
turns" Thus advanced, he. cannot re-
treat. Every march will be the signal
for battle ;-every encampment for
siege. The uiumphs Of his bulletins
will be the funerals of his armies, and
his realm their charnel house. Victo-
rious monarch, here ends thy reign !.
thy only pEan was dirge thy only

the President of the United States, be
offered 10 me, in the first Instance, the
Office, Of Secretary OF the Treasury
Some short time after, and while was
employed in the necessary preparatory
Investigations in relation 10 the details
of the Treasury Department, Mr.
Madison again called upon ME and re-
quested me to take the station OF The
Department of State. And It the
same time, he communicated to me
the circumstances, that had rendered
this change in his administration ne
cessary, which, as they are not at all
connected with the designs ofthls az
dress, it will be improper here to re-
cite.
However unnecessary il may appear
to those who know me, ] deem II pro-
per on this occasion TO declare, that at
no time did 7, nor, as am we'll assured
did any relation or other friend ofmine,
give or convey directly to Mr.. Madl-
son OF indirectly to him through any
other person, II, any manner or form,
the slightest information, that wished
to be either Secretary of the Treasury
or Secretary Of State.
Many despicable tales. as ! have
since understood, were last winter COW
er,ly conveyed to Mr.. Madison by GER
tain abjcct, designing sycophants, with
view not only to prejudice, but to a.
larm his mind, and among others, one
that the Vice-President, Gen. Arm
strong, and myself, had been employed
In concerning plan to oppose him at
the next Presidential election. This
paltry story had considered as utterly
unworthy ofnotice, And perhaps !, at
this time, attach to it too much impor-
lance in avowing, as Inow do, that,
while l was secretary OF State, ] never
had in conversation or in wiring any
communication whatever, directly,
upon any such subject with either the
Vice President or General Armstrong
or with either Of them through any per-
son whatever. But being, al this time,
private citizen, ! may, TRUST, be al
lowed to declare to my countrymen, as
| most sincerely do, that, 10 insure the
duration Of the republican party, as
we'll as to preserve the honour and the
best interests Of the L. States, il has be-
come indispensably necessary, that cur
President be man of energetic mind,
