Verify we can't even keep our devH in the
Office, now that the Marquis has arrived !;
for the little fellow is as anxious as any one
to get peep at the /" .Nation's GneSt." y" 1t
is day ofjubilce," says the workmen :" and
may the types burn our fingers if we do not
enjoy it." So, upon the whole albeit, VIC
ourselves feeling marvellously inclined to
participate with our patrons in welcoming
the hero, THO friend of Washington, who
fought and blcd to establish our freedom,
and the freedom ofhe Press, we have con-
cluded that our Press shall be FREE this day
for it shall stand-and of course we will not
be able to publish paper tomorrow. We
appeal to the well known liberality of our
patrons for justification. Even the money
dealers stand idle on change and forget cen,
per cent. on this day that proclaims from
the commons mouth, the merry bells, and the
joyful hearts of the multitude, "WEL-
COME LA FAYETTE."

So great is the demand for provision in Phila-

BY the schooner Lucinda, Capt. Fletcher,
arrived at New York, Gibraltar papers to
the 14th ult. have been received. The in
formation brought by this arrival, is, if cor
rect, of most interesting nature. The
cause of freedom is again struggling in Spain
the Constitutionalists have risen in several
places and defeated the French, driving them
before them III every direction. Captain
Fletcher confirms the account OF the Con-
stitutionalsts having possession of Tarifa
the French were repulscd three different
times. May they go on in their glorious en-
terprize, and with an avenging arm, cstcr-
inmate the polutcrs Of their country. The
following is an extract under date
GIBRALTAR, Aug. Eth, 1922.
"Thcre is every reason to believe that
simultaneous struggle has been planned thro'-
out Spain, and if in other quarters they have
been as successful as at Iarifa, GOd take
cood King Edsvard 10 his mercy" The
Constitutionalists have been completely sue
ccssful there; astrons body ofFrcnch march
ed from Cadiz to attack them-they suffered
them to advance to the second gate when
they opened a destructive fire upon them
and routed them in every direction: the
French commander is among the killed
Algcsiras is crowded with the wounded
French Of that expedition A boat has been
sent from this garrison to Tarifa, to ascertain
the state of affairs there and has returned
with the particulars, in every respect glori-
Gus to the Constitutional causc.--Even the
women took an active part against the
| French.
1--WE have accounts from various parts of
Spain, and all combine to show that great
events are following apace; but shall repeat
nothing to you but what is official. Whcr-
ever the Constitutionalists go they triumph
completely. The struggle is dreadful for
their enemies, as they observe, expect little
mercy; all Spain, is now in arms, and al
though the period of revolt is most unfor-
tunate, (iust as they were about securing the
vintage) they abandon their limited crop for
a noble harvest-the CRY again IS viva In
constitution, death to the Frenchmcn'--we
are on the rack Of ana'iety here, and every
hour brings us fresh assurances, that in a
short period Liberty will once more wave her
banners over Spain, and her enemies be driv-
ell bevond the Pyrennees. The cproclamatons
issued from Iarifa are calculated to rouse
every Spaniard few only have reached us
here, but they are sought after with such
avidity that l ind it impossible toprocure ono
to send to you. They are ingenious, not a
word is said about the king; every thing Is
directed against The French, the foreign
foe, i'll the very bosom, and eating out the
vitals of Spain In the affair OF Madrid,
which seemed the signal, a great many
:. French were killed.--If this conveyance is
detained a dav or two, will be able to give
you some interesting particulars at any rate
