radicaIr formers, who have been the cause Of the
present excitement ia England. Should the lat
ter party proceed to acts of rebellion and opon
violence, the wings would throw the weight Of
their influence and power on the side of minis
ters; but until such an event they will keep
measures of administration, and the violence of
the reformers. Hunt, who was so lately extoled
as the champion Of liberty and the rights Of man
and who not long since made triumphal entry
into London, begins already to feel the ingra ii
tude Of the people.

1t is not believed hat the dsaffections extend
much among the peasantry they have in almost
every case broken out in manufacturing towns
and their vicinity. Many people who have been
supported in large manufacturing establishments
are thrown out of employment in consequence of
the diminished demand for goods severe dis
tresses are undoubtedly the result ofthis want Of
employment, and they forget il moment ofsni-
ferng their duty to their country and themselves,
and too readily yield themselves to men who
know better and have worse designs. 1t has been
said that large cities are large sores,' the
observation is equally applicable to large manu-
factories tey are nurseries Of vice, and cherish

when Capt. Reid, of the Hornet, left Madrid ;
the reasons not yet made public The special
Envo. above mentioned has undoubtedly author
ty aud is intended to assign the motives which
have induced the Spanisl government to delay
its assent. This Envoy is expected to arrive
while Congress is in SESSION. letter from Don
ONIs says, : the treaty will yet be ratifed' but
such, however, as think will place Spain in
more eligible situation than the present treaty
does.
4 he great effort which has exhausted the
Spanish Treasury and we apprehend the last
effort which spain, unasssted, can make for the
recovery of her revolted provinces in south-A-
merica is spent, and all the fruits Of it dssipated
We know not where. Her troops, which had been
collected at great expense, have dispersed
her transports hired Of British, Russian, and her
avn merchants, have been thrown back upon
their oWners unused or badly used and the pro-
Visions, prodisaily aeaped together for the sup
port OF the expedition, have been wasted and
destroyed. Thus, at the expense of millions.
she has published to the world, which was gaz-
ing at her mighty labour, the INDIGESTION os her
councils and the inertness and imbeclity of her
government. The col.siies will probably now
hava nothing to contend against, but division az

n N unusual seIsibility hls been excited
~ in the minds OF our countrymen By the
copper plate engraving OF the Declaration
OF independence recently published, &C.
companiedby fac SMILES Of the signatures
OF those illustrious patriots who framed the
document by which our independence was
announced to the world. We feel, while
we dwell on those signatures, as if we were
ushered into the immediate presence of
characters so exalted, and we seem for a
time 10 participate in all the emotion which
they felt on the approach of so awful cri-
ss-Hostile armies, desoIate fieids towns
and cities in OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES and
death IN ITS most frightiul forms appeared in
prophetic VISION on the one hand, and more
than all, the complicated horrors, ignominy
and slavery were presented for their &C
ceptance Oh the other; they deliberated,
they paused, they trembled, and al last So
lemnly appealing 10 the God of battles.
they resolved that the United States were
and ought to be Tree, sovereign and indie
pendent. These ilustrious patriots. with
five solitary exceptions, have now mingled
with the common mould--they survive only
in their country's glory and in the recoIlec-
ton OF grateful people. But il would be
consoilng to the present generation, sepa-
rated as they now are from lhose patriots
by the Intervention Of the tomb, TO become
more intimately acquainted with their re,
evolutionary bepefactors. We love TO dwell
on the features OF such men, snatched by
the penc from the oblivion of the grave.
and emulate the prominent feats Of their
biography. Impressed with these ideas, the
subscriber proposes, if suitable encourage.
ment is given, to publish the lives Of those
patriots in numbers, until the whole is CONF
ple.ed. The work will be executed in
style not interior 10 any European produc.
tons, and the portraits by masters Of ac-
knowledged merit. The biography will
be written by Paul Allen, esq. whose init
macy with the several signers, whose fami-
liarity with the priyations and hardships
they had to undergo, and whose well known
talents will be sufficient to ensure the pa
tronage OF an enlightened people. In the
execution Of this work, all that the pub
Usher dares 10 promise is, that be will en-
deayQr to deserve the confidence of his
countrymen, and that no exerlion on his
part will be wanting TO prevent an abuse
of that confidence. He ventures to solicit
the assistance of those gentlemen in pos
session OF authentic facts and anecdotes, by
communicating the intelligence that will
serve to illustrate the characters and to en-
rich the biography OF those founders OF the
American Republic .--Those who are in
possession Of their portraits would enlarge
the obligation by loan of The same.
prospectus with the terms will be given
in few days.
