The kingdom of Spain, fertile and of grtat extent, peninfulated from the reft of Europe, —and situated at the junction of the Mediterranean aii\i Atlantic oceans, if natural preroga tives were more powerful than mo r ral habits, would seem to bedellined for ,1 irniveifal empire: and on the career to this in the joint reign of Ferdinand of e Arragon. and Ifabt'lla, they fcemrd to have entered with a profpeft of suc cess. The discovery of the weft, and of a pafTage by sea aiouud tlie Cape of Good Hope to the East Indies, presented opportunities of acquiring for : tunes otherwise than by the flow pro . cess of regular indtillry. Patient labor i wa» exchanged for romantic adventure. Manufactures dwindled, agriculture lan gui(hed,the felfilhnefs of commerce and colonization was introduced, bigotry expelled the Morefcoes, and the Jews ; population was dimi:li(hed, & the amor patriae lott in a spirit of individual felf > ifhnefs—flill the point of honor, and the ■ high military spirit of pain remained : surviving the dHlulution of so many vir . tuous habits and qualities. It is in j ItrucYive to mark the process through I which nations go on to wealth and im portance, nor is it altogether unprofit ' able to'notice the shades of their decay ; the gradations by which they fall. "It [ is the nature, the proper province of li terature and philosophy to approximate, by the close affinity of geneializ.uion, circumstances, fltuation*, and events, the molt remote in place and time The Spanish nation, the noble Spaniards, we are indeed truly sorry to obfervr, ap pear now almoll to have finifljed their political career.—The causes by which they rofp to grandeur are generally known : not'is it the ptefent design to | illußrate or comment on them. It is ! not the growth of Spain that now ar rellsourattenjion, but thedecay. For the purpose of abltradku n let us step ealtwaid to Greece, nearly in the fame latitude. The modern G'eeks, without the lcaft political importance, and funk in slavery to a military government, retain but little of their original chara&er. The gradations by which that chara&er faded away are clearly difcernable in their history, and exhibit to the atten tive eye a fuhjedi of speculation of great t curiosity and importance. Thr progref* I of commerce, the relaxation of manners 1 , gradually undermined the virtue an.! tht patriotifen of the leading stares of Greece. Simplicity, modelly, tempe ranee, industry, and good faith, tied fit ft : the last of the virtues that took its flight was military valour. Good ; faith ilill remains amoig the Spaniards ' • in their dealings with foreigners : mili tary honour and valour are on ihc wane. : 2'he accursed venality and felfifhnefs of 1 commerce pervades Spain—the com -1 inercial part of that kingdom, like the demociats of the United Provinces, con sider themselves as citizens of the world, and ptefei individual gain to the glory . of their country. The Catalonians are the lalt of the Spaniards. They >t<j 1 willing to defend Catalonia, and the capital, Barcelona, on a very lingular co.idit oil ; that thev may not be oblig ed to receive the aid of the regiments of Castile, and ether parts of Spain These particulars require no illuftriation. The Spauilh government begins to tot , ter. ' ITALY. The Italian dates exhibit some fymp ' toms of revivifcence—tliere is a spirit of ; political irive (ligation in that ! But there ara no slaves who reason, nor . tyrants who enquire. GERMANY. Preparations for war are (till going on in Germany. The emperor has in vited his fubjefts to make a voluntary loan on teims very advantageous to the lubfcribers. 1 lie ordinary mode of tailing money by taxation is not eqtial to the exigency. -It would not be pru dent in thele times, even for a despo tic monarch, to prelsfo heavy a load of taxes on his fubjeitsas a continuance of the war would render neceflary. R e _ ccurfe is had to fair negociatiou. And thus-homage is paid to the rights of the people. Taxes, it may be said, must ' be imposed for payment of thi interell; but the-emperor, as far as in his power, 1 a-'-viates these, by the private wealth and domains of his family. He does not think it proper to make any such _ tcvere exa&ions from his fubjeCls as woe made on sundry o.cafions by the 1 late king of Prufiia. Although the good and great kii.e of POLAND, S if the epithet Great may he applied to' high talents and virtues Haggling haid and overpowered at lafl'by ad*erfe for tune, be a priioner at Grodno, and a Ruffian general for the prcfent reigning in Warsaw, it is not to be believed that the mighty kingdom of Poland is for ever erased from the lift of nations.— Russia, Audria, Pruflia, cannot long agree about their, (hares in the plunder. The French have every motive that can influence politicians and men to remem ber Poland in the peace of which it is t«>o probable tltey are to be thfc princi pal dire&ors, at lead on the continent of Europe : though not, we hope sncT believe, to Britain. And if ft (Rail be found possible, according to the desire and design of the court of Cdiiftantino ple, to introduce into the Ottoman ar mies the ntftitafy tadlics of Europe, The TURKS, on the plains »f Poland, may raise the ftandaid of refidanee to RUSSIA. The empress has, from the com mencement of the present war, amused the confederates with hopes of aflift ance. There is no ariflocratrix or des pot of any denomination, but would knock a nascent republic in the head, if they easily could. Pei haps the empress entertained the hope that this would be done by the confederated powers by whom Fiance is surrounded. Will not the eaftvvard progress of the French a lariti the jealousy and fear «f that politic prinoefs for the peimanency of her pow er in Poland ? If the Czaiina at last take any part in the war, it will proba bly be to feiul a fleet into the North Seas in order to reflrain the DANES and SWEDES. from furniihing supplies to the Flinch. Undoubtedly freedom eftablidied in Po land, would be formidable t« the go vu»nment of Russia—who is not indeed calculated for long duration either by natuial causes, or moral institutions.— Peier the Great was reckoned a wife prince ; yet certainly it is impoflible long to unite a despotic government with ptogreffive improvements in arts and kicnces. The Ruffian empire is like ■ Nebuchadnezzar's image, composed" of I heterogeneous matter. It mull by and by, moulder into pieces. Russia has in deed, in the course of little more than ' half a century, made wonderful exer- . tiotis ; because (lie has been able to u uite th* promptitude of feudal asthori- , ty with military ta&ics, and al'l the ad vantages that the most refined nations can derive, either in politics or war, from the arts and sciences—but Vhe plenitude of feudal power and the influ ence of the arts & sciences cannot lortg eo-exift in the fame empire. Cardinal Richelieu instituted the French academy in order to secure tl»e~rtirune by divert- . i.ig the redlefs spirit of the French from j political mattets. But that academy ■ introduced a spirit by which the throne has been'fubverted—the Czar Peter was ' not a whit wiser than the Cardinal Rich lieu. We undcrftand that w- have not a few more profound and confident po lilicians in our own country than either of these illustrious characters. Among ! the more zealous friends of ecclefiallical I elhblifhments arid feudal prerogatives, a jealousy has arisen of Sunday schools. j In the conrfc of the present month, the event that has most powerfully so licited the attention of all the fubiedls of GREAT-BRITAIN, in whatever part of the world residing, is the discontents of the Roman Catho lics, that is, a great majority of the people of Ireland ; discontents, embit tered by disappointment. If a man, or a minilter, will boldly resolve to be equal, just, and upright, he will never be embarrafled ; a plain road will al ways lie before liim ; but it is often a nice and diffieult thing to mingle liberty with oppression, juttice with injustice. -—How could a total emancipation be granted to the Roman Catholics of Ireland, and withheld from the Catho lics, and the Diflentcrs too, of Great- Britain ? But why was not this consi dered in time ? Why was the Earl -Fitzwilham sent to Ireland with autho rity to hold out hopes of total emanci pat.oo > Says Mr. Pitt, no such au thority was given to him. Vt hat will a plain, blunt man, who no great com- ■> mand of phraseology, f ay to all this, Why either that the mimfter it, 0 r the a iu f °D-' If - " K cnerall y thought ' ~ at lU ' wiftung to draw in Lord t.tzwilham and his friends into the noolc of adminidration aj we ll as him . lelt, had Ipoken ambiguously co J,; s Lord (hip on the fubjed of the Catholics, ti lifting that he Would not, for difan point men r on one head, forfeit the o!£" S P "of a high and gainful The Catholics are indignant, anim* ted and .nited; and gi* e vent to the.Y fern,mem, in va,i„ us delaratio,,. and a Fj der ' hlB ®' r eumflanre 0 f a i arm , 1 added to so many other causes of pub ■ lie regret and tpprehenfiuii, -Mr. Fox i moves in parliament an enquiry into :he date of the nation. Three years of de feat, disaster, and difgiace, have proved, either that the system on which miniders have a£led has been bad, or that their own conduct ha» been weak. If their cohduft hat been good, the system that was not to be maintained even by good condud, it bad. Nothing could be more fair or conclusive than this ment. But Mr. Fox'* motion was ne gatived by a great majority, on the ground that, in times so critical aifd dangerous, inquirie* of this kind would be vexatious to government, and divide and diftraft their atrcntion from theTr duty. In times of prosperity, tiicre is no cause of enquiry 5 in times ofdffafter enquiry would not be prudent. The order of the day was Hujh ! But is this the language of a free conditution,? No! in all such predicaments, liberty raifet her voice, cries aleud, and spares not—" Paliirurus nods—but have a eare how you behave to him. He will hold the helm with still less steadiness if you disturb him." Would this reafoningfa iisfy an Fnglifli (hip's crew ? It might provoke them to lieave Paliuurus over boa; d. It is a pity that ftatefmenfo seldom anticipate the progress of opinion, and to adopt their regulations more than they do to future occalions. Thus we might have retained America ; thus, we may yet perhaps retain Ireland: and thus prolong for years, our power in In dia. Endeavors have very laudably been to found our power in India on the ba ds, if not on perfedi moral redtitude (for, in good truth, this is impoflible) 1 yet on a considerable debtee of-w+lUy -< to the natives as well as ourselves. Yet , so unfortunately do little & paltry ideas ' fometimet mix themselves with great \ concerns, that a demur about granting ] certain reaf mable claims to the Com i pany's officers, among the Direiftors 1 might have endangered our settlements < in Ada, by alienating the confidence and ! : affe&ion of that body, by whom alone ( Iwe hold them ;if the miniltry, and par- , ticularlv the president of the board of controul, imprefled, no doubt, by the ; firm, tho' refpedtable tone in which the deputies of the officers in India fteadtl ly urged their claims, wifely lefolved to a<ft towards our Eastern armies, in all ( the different presidencies, with a libera- I j lity worthy of the nation, it could a not be for e/er endured, that in the ( midfl of affluence enjoyed by civilian! c . acul other sMWenturers, they alone fliould r be in want through whose means «ir ' Afiatick pofTeffions were preserved, and i had been originally acquired. t For th* Gaztllt of the United States.
