eLEANINGs PROM ENGLISH PAPERS.

SPAIN as might be expected, is in most de-
plorable condition. The despotic measures OF
Ferdinand, with the insoence and rapacity of the
clergy and the Z" faithful have caused such a
ferment among those of the liberal party, that
we should not be at all surprised to hear shortly
of an insurrection in this illiated kngdom. In
stead ofgiving his people Constitution, as he
promised, the king has established a system Of
taxation SO oppressive, that it threatens the des
Itruction of all commercial and agricultural pur
suits; and We hear grea, numbers of those who
were in any way instrumental in causing the pro
lclamation Of the Constitution, OF in sustaining
the patriot government sgains, the attacks of the
French, have lett the country precipi,atcly to q
vnid the prosecutions of the royalists. The de
cree of amnesty, too, which he was to have grant.
Jed to his subjects, Ferdinand yet withholds, and
This procrastnarnn adds greatly to the other
causes of complaint. The subsequent letter from
a resident in Spain, dated 21st Dec. gives some
account Of the wrechedness Of the country:
| "The state of -, and indeed of almost
every town in Spain, is most lamentable, ant
what here occurs will give you an idea of the per

Pl'his is to be produced by scraping Oft the

with soft soap and water in which tobacco

March. The taking off the moss and bark
serves to expose the insects and their eggs
to the sharp frosts, that are usual at that
period of the year.-The soapsuds soften
the bark, open its pores, assist in destroy
