The unfortunate Dervife has, however, been '"ipakd, a cir cunvrtance which he did not probably foresee. The Directory have made use of every artifice to persuade the people of the pecula tion and emoluments of the members of the Swiss Government. —What were the.r emo luments ? An Avoyer had about 4001. a year, a Senator about 1501. and a Banneret a.ol. Their places were not sinecures. 1 heir du ties were fatiguing, and it was urtpoffibfe for them flb peculate.

Holland is in danger of inundation from the dykas, as they have not been repaired since thebeginning of the Revolution. Ac cording to the last accounts from France, tfee dykel of Dol,' in Bittany, were broken down by the sea, an immense extent of coun try was inundated, a great number of cattle and houses swept away, and about 10,000 families rednctd to the utmost misery, with out any habitation and resource.

Amidst the events that have of late fuc ceeikd each otliei with such rapidity, the fitu 'ation of Spain fee.it) s to have escaped the no tice of the politician ; and, equally feeble as an enemy of an ally, Ihe appears toiiave funk almost into obscurity and oblivion. But a crisis is approaching in that country, that mud rouse her from this.state of decrepitude, and, it may be, re do re her to all the former energies of the Spanilh character. The peace ■with France, and its natural consequence, the declaration of war agiinft England, gave rife in \he Spanish Court to two parties ; an Englift and a French party. ■ he lent her ftipport to the former ; the King at firit countenanced the latter. But the indolence of the King's charafter was little able to contend'with the att'mty ot the Queen's—The peace with France, though it reftered the ancient /alliance be tween the two countries, was far from reviv ing the ancient friendlhip that had subsisted between them—Each distrusted the other- Spain fufpeftcd revolutionary defignsonthe part ol France, and France doubted the pa cific aflurances of Spain—Their connexion therefore, beaan without confidence or cor diality; and thoilglrthe Spanish government • > obedience to the terms of the treaty, arm el against England ; yet their arming was without vigour, and their operations with out energy. The English party did not fail to take every opportunity of encouraging thii itidifjxilition towards France. They in. vctfhed agair.ft the peace, which had facri- the dignity of thri Spanish charafter ; t! ey strengthened the suspicions of the Revo lutionary intentions of Frjnce ; and they awakened the religious fears of the king for the laiety and security of theCatholicChurch Even the defeat of the Span!Hi fleet fnrnifh- C 1 icra v,ltil a tcufstion agaiuft the French, Who bad forced Mienl into a contest in which they had experienced fucjj disaster and dii grace. The inilueijce of the French party thus gradually decHtied ; their antago.nifts fncceeded in enfeebling' all the operations of the war against England ; and the alliance with Spain, though it relieved France from an open enetrly, did not secure to her a real friend. But it was impofltble that such could long impoi'e upon tlie vigilance of the Republic. She found that Spain took no precautions to secure her American pofTeffions againfl the English > beheld her flrong squadron remaining inaftive at the Havan nah ; she saw no hostile preparations againfl England in any part of the Spanish domin ions ; and she began to f'ufpett that a secret undemanding fublifted between the Spanilh Government and the English. Her ambas sador, therefore, it is.said, was charged with a strong remonstrance upon the fu'ijeft, and some changes have taken place. But these, made with a view to conciliate both parties, have fatisfied neither. Some of the members of each party have been exiled, and Diplo matic millions have been "given to others.—■ The Duke d'Ofluna, tbe chief supporter of the English party, has been sent to Petersburg ; and the Duke del Parque, one of the principal leaders of'the French party, .has been appointed Ariibaffador to_ Vienna. But, in the mean time, the public mind r.as undergone a material .ilteration. The commerce and connexion with France havi done much towards producing this alteration;, and the frequent changes of men and man ners have accustomed the people to innova tions which formerly they held m much ab horrence. Seme writings, of a bolcfneis hi therto unknown in Spain, have made their appearance. The f.tcrifice of i.loiy in both the wars, the oppreffivc nature of ioine re cent imports, and the fluduating-and feeble politics of the court, have brought the gov ernment into contempt.—A government that is more despised than dreaded is not very liLely Kb be long obeyed. A crisis then is approaching, It will be accelerated* if Spain, as has been rumoured has lent a willing ear to another coalition ; for many well informed Spaniards themselves, if we may believe the French writers, are of opinion, that if hostilities are resumed with France, a revolution will Ipeedily be effefted in Spain. REMARKABLE CASE. The following remarkable instance of the failure of volition is extracted from Dr. Crichton's Essay on Mental Derangement. " A young lady, an attendant 011 the princess of , after having been confined to her bed for a great length of time, with a violent nervous disorder, was at last, to all appearance, deprived of life. Her lip& were quite pale, her face refemblcd the coun tenance of a deadperfon, and her body grew cold. She was removed from the room in which she died, was laid in a coffin, and the day far her fimeral was fixed on. The day arrived, and according to the custom of the country, funeral Congs and hymns were sung before the door. Just as tbe people were aboutTtT frail an the (id of the coffin, a kiild of perfpirat'fon was observed on the fur face of her body. §he recovered., The fol following, is the account she gave of her feij fations ; she fa'id," it feepied to her as if in a dreamt, that she was really deadyet (lie was perfectly' confcToiis •round'her. She diftiptlly heard her friends speaking aild. lamenting her death at .the.fide of her coffin. . S.lie te.it. them pull on the dead clothes, and fay her in it.

It was equal ly impossible for her to llretch out her arm or open her eyes, as to cry, Although flie continually endeavored to do (o. The in ternal anguish of her mind was at its utmost height when the funeral hymns began to be sung, and when the lid '6f the coffin was 3- bout to be nailed on.

They will not appear in arms at"pre Scot, for that would make their weak ness the antagonist el'our strength. But lies and cunning are always formidable at elec tions : thus they oppose their strength to our weakness ; we cannot and will not resort to lies. But we can overmatch them when we take the alarm in season, and rouse the feder al zeal ; that zeal has more thai) once &ved the country. Now is the time and the oc casion again to difplav it. For the faftion turns its evil eyes to the eleftions of the houle of representatives of tht state, and if they ob tain even a large minority, they will spread the infection with more ardor, than even a majority—as minorities are ever the moftin duftrious and most firmly united. So large a mass of poison in the general court, lying in fermentation for a year, would vitiate and corrupt tvar politicaj health, and by another year a jacobin majority would appear there to overturn, and overturn, and overturn, till property shall take wings, and true li berty and good government find theirgraves. By getting a majority of jacobins into our New-England Hate legislatures, they would make civil war, difnnian, and perhaps a fo reign yoke, the lot of the present generation. \ Friends-os virtue, if you will not attend the eledtion, and lend to liberty the help of your votes, within two years you will have to de fend hercaufe with your I'words.
