The government Of England had powerfully CO.
operated with the monarchs Of the Continent in
putting down Bonaparte and but for the uncon-
quersble fortitude and courage Of those "bul
dog Islanders" the work had probably never been
done. Her government then refused to co-ope-
rate In the schemes Of absolutism which the allies
were dsvising, aud drew of from them. The long
Numbering energies Of Spain had boon deeply stir

throne, and placing In his stead his brother Louis
The chiyalry and heroism Of Spain revived in tran

his ancient srmor, drove Soult and the legions OF
France from the Peninsula, and the miscreant ty-
rant, Ferdinand, regained his sceptre. The spirit
Of liberty having been re-awakened, II would not
passvely and at once fall sleep again In the benum

TO Louis XVIII, whom they had so lately restored.
The Dukoof Angouleme entered Spain at the head

But Ferdinand had lost more than half his posses

reconquer those countries for him too, and to bring
them back under his calling yoke. They were

England ID our glorious mother, and look to
her with much of affection, gratitude, and rever-
snce. She has oppressed and wronged her daugh- |
tar, but that account is long since settled, and
trust forever. We have inherited from her much
Of our best blood, our language most OF our sci
ence and literature, our religion and many Of the
most valuable principles Of human liberty. She
commenced to her fabric Of freedom, as 1t ex-
lists in the reign Of her John, at the beginning Of
the thirteenth century. She has, at distant inter
