SPAIN.

Another arrival bri.gs additional interesting
intelligence from France and Spain. The
Speech of Louis is considered equivalent to a
declaration of War. The spirit of Spain in
creases with the danger which threatens her ;
and The language Of her government, is
" Then let them come,
"And to the fre-ey'd Maid ii smoky war
"Al hot and bleeding will we offer them.
''The mailed Mars shall on his altar sit,
g Up to the ears in blood" a
We hope their defiance will not prove, like
that of the Neapolitans, to be mere bravado
The character Of the Spanish people, however,
as well as their natural means Of defence. do
not justify apprehensions of result such as
followed the invasion of Naples by Austria.
That the war, once commenced, viii not be
confined TO France and Spain, is an opinion
which is as general as it is reasonable. Eng
land processes not to interfere but it will be
impossible long to restrain the feelings Of the
English people in favour Of nation assailed
for having resolved to live under constitu-
tional government. The English government,
Notwithstanding its corruptions, is subject not
a little to the popular voice and when that
voice shall become loud in favour of assisting
Spain, the assistance will not be withheld.

HaRTFoRD CONVENTION.

So much has been said and written about
the Hartford Convention, that we are glad to
find that the doings of the Convention, to-
gether with its journal, have been published.
There are, undoubtedly, many well-disposed
citizens who are ignorant of the character of
that Convention and who, from the extrava-
giant language of the democratick party, may,
perhaps, have been deceived into the belief
that it was reasonable assemblage They
have opportunity now to become acquainted
some just views of the conduct Of the demo-
cratick party, when struggling for power.
II has been said, over and over again, that
the Convention dare not publish their secret
journal. This journal has now been publish
ed, Gin the Boston Gazette of 10th inst.) &C.

Cabot, the President of the Conventional man

Let, then, these proceedings be scrutinized,
and not syllable can be found which init

and rights of citizens of this Union. And yet
party among us are labouring to impress up
on the minds of the younger of our fellow-cit-
liens, that the majority Of the people of this
State have entertained reasonable designs
against the Federal Government-that the
pure-minded STRONG was traitor THAT the
members of the Legislature in 1914, and the

at Hartford, were all guilty Of the same

GUNPOWDER PLOT and HART
FORD CONVENTION

The Popish Gunpowder Plot, which for a
century made loud report in history, is now
confessed to be fiction, suited only to horrible
imaginations. But the same ignorance and
creduGty, that were necessary to a comforting
belief in that Plot, are now required to give
reality and body to the fictitious horrors of the
Hartford Contention. The following extract
from Pereril Of The Peak shews the easy pro-
cess Of believing implicitly and blindly any sort
of incredible Pho. that may be useful to the
believer
Julian returned the courtesy by drink
ing his health, and asking, what news
were about in the country. =
Thought, sir, hears nought, ex-
cept this plot, as they call it, that they
are pursuing the Papishers about; but it
. brings water to my mill, as the saying is.
Heaven make US thankful, and keep all
good Protestants from plot and Popery!"
| can easily conceive, my FRIEND said
Julian, that curiosity is passion which
runs naturally to the ale-house and that
anger, and jealousy, and fear, are all of
them thirsty passions, and great con-
sumers of home-brewed. But am a
perfect stranger in these parts, and
would willingly learn, from sensible
man like you, little Of this same PLOT,
of which men speak so much, and ap-
pear to know so little
"Learn little of it ?-Why, it is the
most horrible, the most damnable, blood
thirsty beast Of a PLOT-but hold, hold,
my good master; hope, in the first
place, you believe there is plot ? for,
otherwise, the Justice must have word
, with you, so sure as my name is John
Whitecraf.o
1t shall not need said Peveril; for
assure you mine host, | believe in the
PLOT as freely and fully as a man can
believe in any thing he cannnt under
stand.'
"God forbid that any body should
pretend to understand it," said the i'm
plicit constable sc for his worship the
Justice says it is mile beyond him and
he be as deep as most of them. But
men may believe, though they do not>
understand; and that is what the Ro-
manists say themselves. But this / am
sure of, it makes rate stirring time for
Justices, and witnesses, and constables.-

From the London Times.

We this day present the most impor-
tant document which has been laid be-
fore the publick since the close OF Bona
parties career Of iniquity. 1t is the
opening of another career-we hope of
shorter duration; but, if we may Judge
from this first specimen, not less iniqui-
tous, not less monstrous and detestable.
Well might that tyrant say, that the
Bourbons "had forgotten nothing, and
learned nothing, during their Danish
ment." The document to which we re-
fer, will prove even more than this
against them; for it will prove, that
they have indeed forgotten nothing, but
that they have learned that of which it
were better they had remained in igno-
rance-that they have learned those
principles which justly expelled the late
Usurper from his throne, but which they
can neither support with his talents nor
illustrate with his glory. The docu-
ment which we are describing is the
King Of Frances Speech on the opening
of the session of the two Chambers

Dinsmoor, of Keene, was the 50 regular Re-
publican candidate" for Governour; and Hon.
Levi Woodbury., one of the Judges of the Su-
preme Court, and belonging to the same C Re-
publican family" was the opposition candi-
date. From the returns we have seen, we
think it probable the latter is elected. He
has nearly an unanimous vote in the eastern
part OF the State, and large support even in
the County of Cheshire, the residence of the
other candidate. The contest has been VIC.
lent, and seems to have arisen from personal
and local predictions rather than from any
difference of principles. If Judge Woodbury.
is elected, it is an instance of the signal dis
comtture of certain men in New-Hampshire
who have been accustomed to control, by
their influence, the distribution of publick
honours in that State.
