THE RICHMOND ENQUIRER.

The Editors Of the Enquirer have "wax

10 raise our voice against its barefaeed de
parture from the principles by which ii was
once guidcd--a departure which they Will
not attempt to Justify or defend, and which
ihey dare not deny, IN the teeth of the e
violence which is afforded by their own
files. They say, that " the iniuriate zeal
OF the Virglnian ST. far outstrips its discrc-
ton that it trampcs under foot the com
mon decenCies Of society" !! We can on
ly express our establishment at such de-
ciaratlon, unsupported as II is, by the least
shadow of proof How, when and here
have we committed this grevous fault p
Is ii because we told the Enquirer, rrhat II

that II has torsaken the principles which il

Extract OF a letter, dated Cadiz, June 1s.
" The French, IN "a short time, have add
vaneed as far as Ccrdova, we may say
without firing a shot and with the same
facility, they will probably present them
selves before Cadiz, as they did in 1910,
but with this difference, that they have not
conquered the country. On the contrary,
they will find greater resistance in proper
ton as the people get aware that their aC-
tons do not correspond with their proml-
seq oil happiness, and prosperity, which can
not 80 hand IN hand with the system of
1919, nor with the inquisition, both of
which they and their allies, the fuctiouS,
re establish wherever their dominion eX-
tends. The king, cortps and government
were obliged to leave Seville quite precipi-
lately on hearing that 5000 French horse
were coming down full speed with the
desigu of carrying off the king and his fam
ny, through comp de-main, and aided by
great many traitors, among whom was
the famous Gen. ID. who is now imprisen-
ed-but the enemy was disappointed, for
although the king declared that he could
not in conscience move any farther, The
Cortes pronounced him unfit, and created a
10y UNI 'CihiS iil1 liIdjtol1 tOCuUl w
tadiz as private individual. He entered
this city on Sunday the l4ih inst. with the
whole of his family, accompanied by up
wards OF G,000 foot and horse but the
moment of his arrival here, he was reinsta-
ted IN the royal dignity, and exercises the
executive power the same as before.
To-day the Cprtes have opened their
sessions IN tais city, which is so crowded
with people from all parts, that it is with
great difficulty they find lodgings
Provisions of all kinds, and OF which We
nave hut scanty supply, have risen from
% 10 90 per cent. and proof of the insult
hcmncy of our provisions is the permission
gwen by our civil authorities for importing
loreign rice, beef, pork, potatoes, shad aud
bran, on very moderate duties. Even a
new tariff ofdutes is in print flour, whtdt,
&c. will be equally admitted.
A vessel from New York sold ! 90 iierces
OF rice at S74 per 100 pounds, and parcel
OF -four at dollars but the purchaser OF
the latter asks to-day, an exorbitant price,
counting probably on the blockade Of this
port, which is inferred from the French
SHIPS having detained, yesterday afternoon,
an American brig and schooner making for
CadIz, and which this morning has altered
her course towards the Straishis."

CADIz, June 10.

FROMTHE SPANISH


'3hou little stream, 90 gsiIy flowing,
So sparkling in the sunny beam,
Bright flowers are on thy unrgin blowingi
Glide not 80 fast, thou little strcsm
Thy fount, alas Is not eternal,
Tho Joy 10 on thy waters now
Thou Howest midst the breezes yernai--
In winter thou wilt cease to How.
Thine is silent, secret fountain,
Where drop by drop thy source distha
Hid in the bosom Of the mountain,
And gushing into silver riils
Thou art of humble birth, and proudly
'Tis not for thee to roll along.
o gentle stresmlet, flow not loudly
But, sweet and iowIy be thy song
o thou mayst water hill and valley,
Revive the mead, refresh the wood :
And like pensive priestess, sally
From thy own hsunts OF solitude,
To bless, TO charn--on all bestowinH
JOY from thy smiles, serene, divine
And see with smiles eli nature glowing,
Reflected from those smiles OF thine.
o! envy not that furious current
That like an earthquake shakes its shores
Tears up the forest with its torrent,
And breaks the rocks-snd as il roars
Fills ell the plain with woe and sadness,
And is dispersal while burrying by
Yts memory 6eeting as its madness.
And full Of gloom that memory.
Thou little stream so gaily howihg.
And sparkling in the sunny beam,
While flowers are on thy margin blowing,
PresSpe not. o thou little stream
Thy foufit alas is not eternal,
Tho'joy is. on thy waters now
Thou howest midst the breezes vernsl-s
In winter thou mlfst cease to flow.

Venezuelan Iris, Of the 22d ult. published
at Caracas. itcontans protest address
ed TO Simon Bolivar by the resident TO
relgners IN tolomhia,in answer to the pro
clamation of the Spanish General Morales,
issued in September last, and is signed by
nnety-iire persons, and dated at Bogota,
the cad OF November last. 1t is an nte-
resting document, and we have therefore
translated it for the benefit of our readers.
To Simon Botirar, PreSident of Colombia.
EXCELLENT Sm-Wc, the undersigned
foreigners, Colombians by adoption, and
residents ia this city, approach your Tx
cellency with the most profound respect,
10 express 10 you our unaIterable determi-
nation 10 spouse the Just cause of Colon
bia.
During our long residence in this coun-
Try, we have had frequent opportunities of
knowing the means :, resources at the dis
posal of government ; and we are well
convinced, that if they have failed TO sup
ply the objects for which they were de-
signed, it should be attributed to circum
stances lnseparable To a growing state, and
which human power could neither foresee
nor remedy. We, therefore declare QUIZ
firm confidence in the good faith and hon
or OF the government, aud are ready to
sacrllicce our lives and property for it
maintenance.
We have seen with the greatest surprise
the decree Of General Morales. ofthc 9Th of
sept Est, published at Maraca;bo, in which
he condemns us TO death or TO work ON
the public roads, and coniiscaton of pro
perry Can he or any one else for mo-
ment presume that we, who have been
ionnd IN times of distress, in DAYS of I'm
certainty, of horror ard calamity. t,kino
an interest in the emancipation of tbeso
beautiful regions, can he, we repeat nre
sumo, that now, when the glorious strug
gle IS drawing to close, we can be intimi-
dated by the ostentatious aud insignificant
threats OF a 'illain,of bloodthirsty impos-
tor, who IS pulled up with pride in conse.
auenee Of casual success No: we are
identified with the cause Of Colonhi, and
declare to your excellency and the whole
world our unalterable resolution TO accom-
pany her IN prosperity and to follow her in
adversely.
The proclamation Gf it deserve the
name) of the Spanish Chief, should excite
the attention OF every liberal government !;
ana whilst we would resist with yalor and
nehoid with serene countenance his inn
potent attempts, we would at the same
tlme submit his proclamation to the iudp-
meht OF every civilized society. The ca
reer OF this chief has not been for a lenpfb
