MIR. SMITH-AGAN.

Believing it would be unacceptable to our
readers to devote so large portion of our
columns, as we have heretofore done, in reply
ing to the turgid effusions of this gentleman,
our notice of his bombasic account of his rem
counter with us shall be brief.
He entered our office on the 18th ult, armed
with dirk and whip. On seeing we had a
pistol at hand for our defence, he turned about,
and left the o6fce. T.. J. West, Esq. who ap-
peared to be in waiting, tlien Immediately en-
tered, and observed that Mr.. Smith only wish
ed for some expiration, and intended no harm.
We observed To him, that if Mr.. Smith would
demean himse lfpeac eably, he might come in.
Upon which, MI West, after piedging himself
that such should be his department, sent for
him. When MI. Smith returned, he proposed
that the conferences between us should be in
writing. The point he wished to gain, was,
an admission on our part, that we had no per-
sonal knowledge of any thing derogatory to
his character as an indvidual-at the same
time makinga verbal declaration, in substance,
that such acknowledgement should be recipro-
cal. At this stage of the bus mess, the only
difference between us was, the point of prio,I-
~ in reducing these admissions to writing.
As he was the first to commence his attacks
upon personal character, we thought it no more
than just and reasonable that he should take
the lead in making acknowledgements.
Before commencing the conferences, upon
the suggestion of Mr.. West, of a mutual sur
render of arms Our pistol was laid aside. And
it appears that while we were writing, Mr.
Smith found his way to it, and threw the printing
ont ofhe pan. This, he afterwards confessed
in relating the af4air-rather ind screetly, we
should suppose, as it displayed his cunning at
the expense of his bravery.
Upon our =" refusal to make reparation," as
he terms it, with a knowledge that we had no
means of defence, he attempted to assault us
with his whip and dirk. But Mr.. West, who
had pledged himself that MIR. S. should con-
ducthimseF peaceably, interfcred, and prevent
ed the slightest injury from being done by him.
With re'pect to Mr. Smiths complaint, of
being expressly named, in our replies to his
editorial ard communicated matter, we have
heretofore observed that che could not ex-
pect US to permit him to remain concealed,
while we we're ourselves prominently before
the public" Such a requisition for our OBJ
seryance could not justly be made. The edi-
tor of etery newspaper, in our opinion, ought
to place his name at its head, that he may be
known, Had Mr.. 8. done this, at the COM
mencement of his editorial labors, there would
have been less occasion tor expressly nam
ing him in our remarks.

NETWORK, JULY IL.

NEW-fOhh, JULY IL
IMPORTANT NEWS FROM EUROPE.
The new line ship New-York, capt.
Maxwell, arrived at IL o'clock this fore
noon. BY this arrival the editors of the
Commercial Advertiser have received
their regular files Of London and Liver
pool papers. Lloyd's and Shipping lists,
&c. The London papers are to the eve
ming of the 8 ist of May, and the Liver.
pool Of the 18th Of June.
We. fear that our hopes ofthe success
fu resistance of the Spaniards, are dis
appointed, and the misgivings that we
have occasionally expressed, more than
realized. In other words-that the most
efficient ofthe Spanish chiefs are DESERT
ing the cause Of the Constitution and dis
grazing themselves by measures which
in effect will be the same as embracing
the part Of the invaders.-The reader
will find below three documents off great
interest; the first is letter of the lth OF
May, from the Count de Montijo to the
Count d'Abisbal, calling upon him to
declare himself independent until the
King shallbe released, and asserting that
"to putinpracticet the constitution oil 1912
is physically and morally impossible"
the other is the answer of Count d'Abis-
bal, dated the 18th, declaring that q
majority Of the nation does not desire to
: continue the constitution Of 1872" and
suggesting the adoption Of the follow.
ing measures, viz:
l. To notify the Duke D'Angouleme
that the Spanish nation, in concurrence
with the King, would alter their Cons,i-
sution.
2. To bring back the King to Madrid
.. To conyoke new Cortes.
Edwardsville spectator. [volume] (Edwardsville, Ill.) 1819-1826, 1823-08-09

sumes a totally new aspect from these
events which have taken place in MAJ
drid; but, in reasoning upon them, we
must not forget there is still much to as
certain before any conclusive differences
can be deduced.
The King, ii is said, has attempted to
escape from Seville, the Archbishop of
Cordova, who was the author of this pro-
ject, has been arrested.
Edwardsville spectator. [volume] (Edwardsville, Ill.) 1819-1826, 1823-08-09

4.That the King should nominate a
new Ministry.
S. That general Amnesty should be
published.
The substance of this letter was pla-
carded through Madrid on the 10th of
May, and on the 18th, the Count Abs
bal issued Proclamation exhorting the
inhabitants to receive the French army
as friends Onthis subject, as the Cou-
rer remarks, one very important con-
sderaton is, whether Abisbal has acted
in concert with the other Constitutional
Generals, or whether, having the de-
fence of the capital entrusted to him,
his surrender of it has been merely an
insulated act of negotiation. If we are
to suppose the former, then we should
say, there remains no choice Of Spain
making successful resistance but if
the latter should turn out to be the case,
then, whatever may have been hitherto
the probabilities of ultimate triumph.
they will not be materially diminished
by the transaction.
The Quotidienne, speaking of this
news, adds, that the southern province
of La Mancha is in full instruction
against the constitution; That Ferdi-
nand is expected shortly at Madrid, and
that Abisbal is believed to have acted in
concert with the Generals Morllo and
Ballasteros. One thing is very evident,
whether the war be brought to close in
consequence Of this turn OF affairs, as the
London papers all predict, or not, there
has been lamentable want of something
in the Spanish cabinet---tbey have GER
tainly shown more energy in writing than
fighting.
