that knows the course Of this government
for the last six or eight years in relation to
both these powers-who can forbear to ask
himself, WHAT Is TO BECOME OF
Us?
1T not contemplated in these hasty re-
marks to exhibit the grounds ef that Just
resentment which every Spaniard, loyal to
his king and country, must feel towards
US. The time possibly is at hand when
stupidity itselfwill feel an interest in pub
lie and solemn investigation of this subj
Let it be sufficient for the present to say
that in the estimate of the writer of these
remarks, the conduct Of the U. States to-
wards Spain since the year lSos, is unsur-
passed in iniquity amongst all the iniqui
ties of the times, not excepting the partiti-
on Of Holland or Bona parties a Tempt upon
Spain. 1t is nalla Uirtnte redSmbtum. 1t
is without the merit even of audacity in
guilt. ltunites all that is mean in spirit
with all that is profigate in principle
Will Spain, restored to herself, suffer these
things to pass off into oblivione Her power
is great-it is greater through her ally,
our enemy Combined, although they
cannot reach directly our independence,
they can hold at their disposal all else that
is valuable to us.
What motive of interest has Great Bri
tain to peace with us? Profitable COM
mercidl intercourse The events of the
last eighteen months, with our own wretch
ed policy before, have rendered our trade
of no importance to her-Fear Of car
arms Alas-to any purpose of overawing,
in the hands that now guide them and the
cause that has called them forth, these are
mpotent and of no account. Even the pre-
datory business of privateering and the pet
ty border-warfare, that serve only to vex
and to irritate, she can now, discngaged
as she is, at any moment extinguish.--
The question recurs-to what shall we
look, for peace with Ehgand--for enabling
US to escape all the complicated ills of En-
glish and Spanish hostility The forbear-
ance, the pity, the contempt of our enemy
And is this the situation to which those who
have the confidence of three-fourths of the
people" have brought the freest and most
enlightened nation" in the world.

THE RUINS.
by sELLEcK

Bb bELLbNn
I've seen in twilights pensive hour,
The moss clad dome, the mould'ring tower
In awful ruin stand
That dome where grateful voices sung,
That tower whose Ginning music rung,
Majestically grandl
Eve seen mid sculptur'd pride, the tomb
Where heroes slept in silent gloom,
Unconscious of their fame
Those who, with laureld honors crown'd
Among their foes spread terror round,
And gain'd an empty name!
I've seen in deaths dark palace laid,
The ruins of a beauteous maid,
Cadaverous and pale!-
That maiden who. while life remand,
Ger rival charmes in triumph reign'd
The mistress of the vale.
rve seen where dungeon damps abide,
A youth admired in manhood's pride,
In fancied greatness rave
He who in Reasons happier day,
Was virtuous, witty, noble, gay,
Learned, generous and brave.
Nor dome nor tow'r, in twilight shade
Nor hero fall'n nor beauteous maid,
To ruin all consign'dl
Can with such pathos touch my breast,
AS ION the maniac's form imprest)
The ruins of a noble mind.
