In the face of God ami the whole universe, we proclaim that Fer dinand is a Tyrant and Usurper. You Ore therefore relieved from your obedience todiim, by every law, human and divine.

What a moment of glory present ed itself to 0‘Duuuel, if 111 one week he had wished to save Ids country! Here a report'Was at first curie:.", (hat lie was at the head of the insurrection. For my own part I could not he broil,ditto believe it, for 1 unfortunately know him too well. The short sighted man, does not see the Spanish nation caunot be long before il casts off the yoke by width il is ga'led and oppressed, and that lie as well as the whole of the perjured who do not fly to save tlieir country by washing away the foul stain that disgrace them in tlie" eyes of the world, will eventually, though certainly, meet with the just punishment t lie lavv awards against the crime of per jury; a punishment which he or any other of ins class, would undoubtedly avoid if through someincinorableacliunsthey were to lender themselves worthy of the good will and gratitude of the Spanish people. Ail tiie Patriots of this city, 011 the first arrival of the news respecting O'Donnel loaded him with benedictions, and exciai- ined. “That brave General has been tardy, but sure."’ How great was our dis appointment when we learned the de.nau- 1 nenl! Stiil 1 do not doubt but that many chiefs, who have hitliei to knelt to the shrine of tyranny when once convinced of the real state of public opinion, through out the whole Peninsula, and the strong fermentation by which nil are agitated, will hasten to declare in favor of law and their country—a cause which sooner or later will unavoidably triumph. “It is also natural to suppose that cre this yon have recived information of out brave Melchor, whose military strength was so alarming to the Audericia of C'a- ceres, that they detorniieed to make the best of their way off, thinking it most ad visable to take their refuge within the wails of this fortress. He has acquired a great reputation in the whole of Estre- madura, and I believe, that before tlie expiration of two months, he will be at the head of a respectable division, and, if things are in readiness elsewhere, march on to Madrid. Previous to the fatal dispersion near Cadiz, he only com manded 350 men, scattered aliout in gue rillas on various points, who unite as cir cumstances require, in order to make head against parties of regulars tlie Captain General sent out to look after them.— Melchor’s men always come off best in these skirmishes, ami "with this advantage, that they seldom coine in sight of the King’s troops without having some de serters from them. Since the Estreme- diaus who were among the r*K)0 men dis persed by O’Donnel, reached their homes, the greaterpart of them have joined Mel- chor; so that he has now 7 or- 800 men, though they are not all armed or uniform ed; but they soon will be, for tlieir chief has abundance of resources and money. We are also assured, that in the other provincis parties of military patriots have already begun to assemble, or, as they are called by our Melchor in his procla mation, “constitutional champions.”— The well-disposed, 1 can assure vou have great confidence in these parties, who when well organized and acting ander combimed plans will be able to give to oar country that day of glory so long sighed for. I transmit you a printed Proclamation which our intrepid Melchor has just published and circulated; who in his division, has a snyill flying print ing establishment, and a Secretary ex tremely patriotic and well informed. ■ '; • _ !

UnilefStates and Great Britain.—There has recently isssued r from the Philtdelphia IVess,apoiiticalvvorkqfno little interest,of the following lille; An apfitalfrom the judg ment* of Gnat Britain reflecting the Uni ted States of America: Fart J-'irct, contain ing an historical outline of their merits and zvrontrs as Colonies, and strictures upon the Calumnies of Acisish Writers: By Robert XV ,-.lsh, j r.—5 6 .'.-.pages, octavo. This work, eulvisivc as it is, appears, from the preface, k> be only introductory to a more extensive a .j mere digested work— a Survey of the institutions and Resources of the American Republic, and of the real character and condition of the American people. . We have observed, for the last three or fo-.ir yeais, the progress of a silent but cer tain change of the opinions-of that portion of die people of the United States, who had hitherto clung, with somethiiig like a filial attachment to die character and government of that country from which most of us have descended. Cherishing the reputation of her statesmen, her writers, and her warriors, they admired licr institu tions—and only stopped short of con temning our own.* This was in general not positively b id feeling, but good feeling misguided and misapplied. In thcabstract W hodoes not venerate the memory of tlie' Lockes, the Miltons, the Chathains of Eng land? But who docs not, in die ab; tract, equally admire the characters of the good and great men who have given imperisha ble fame to the annals of Grcec and Rome? It was only during the late war, that many of the intelligent citizens ofthc Federal par ty began to p rceivc thatlheidentity oljlan- guage and community of parentage consti tuted no affinity of dispositionjorof character between them and the transatlantic people. At the close of the war, when Columbia ex tended her hand to her late enemy, in all the frankness of generous amity—when her public men and pubiic writers, with very few exceptions, inculcated sentiments of concili ation and oblivion of injuries—they have found these advances repelled by a course of cold -blooded and systematic depreciation and vituperation by the leading journals and periodical literary works of England, indi cating a settled determination to excite and foster perdurable animosities against our country and its institutions. An attachment to tlie literature of Great Britain—a finger ing preference for tlie productions of our transatlantic cousins, had given a circulation to the Edinburg Review and Quarterly Re view, two distinguished periodical works, sufficient to justify tlieir re-publication in this country. They have been generally read and held up as models of style to the youth of America. Their sentiments have been admired-—their very language echoed, not only iu the senate, but at the fire-side of the forest cabin. The latest numbers cl'those works, which ought to have been sacred to science and to truth, have contained articles as full of spleen and jealousy towards this country, as Was to be found, in regard to Great Britain, in the most vindictive mo ment of hostilities, in the pages of the most loosely conducted paper in our country.— This outrage has touched the feelings of the people of this country to the quick; it has dispelled the charm of British generosi ty, of Brit ■ magnanimity-—of British infal libility. "i ,i0 strongest attachment is not proof against meditated insult. The at tachment hitherto existing towards England Is dissipated with a breath; it is in danger of turning into a feeling stiil worse—into that feeling which the reviewers write as if they wished to provoke—into hatred. Among those citizens heretofore enrolled among tlie federal party, whose feelings have been keenly probed by the circumstan ces just alluded to, is Mr. Walsh. He had planned a work, which we hope he will go on to execute, intended to illustrate the institu tions and resources of our country, bv fiicts gathered from our history and from other authentic sources. For tiiis purpose, he as- sidubnstjr set/ivbbtft cbllatfng thfc het'eSte&^r materials. Finding himself impeded, in this work, Ity the difficulty and delay of Col- rcgting'mateiiufs scattered over so-extetf- sivc a surface, he “fell upon a plan,” as his “preface informs ns, of making up, (is the “interval,“a preiiminahy volume, Vhich “6h<ritld embrace a rcvjew.ofthe dispositions ‘and conduct of Great Briiain towurds this “collateral retaliation for' her continued in justice and invective.” This is the book now before us. Mr. "Walsh has indeed carried his plan into ef fect-- The retaliation is severe—the more severe for-beiug just; doubly severe from its proceeding from a pen, whose polished pe riods have in other days received the warm approbation of tlie critics whose error and malignity he now exspoes. As the vindi cator and avenger of tlie literary wrongs o! his country, Mr. Walsh has produced a work which must be popular, because it is national; and which will find its way into every library in the country. Let it not be supposed, that it is our de sire to cultivate a hostile feeling towards Great Britain. It is not. We hope never to sec the existing peace bctweisn the two governments interrupted; we regret that the unceasing apparent aim of her writers to counteract the amicable disposition pro fessed, and, as far as we know, acted upon !iy her government, has justified, if not re quired, re taliation. Even now, after the exchange of shots on the literary field, we are sure it will be the fault of the British champions if tlie quarrel be not made up— as quarrels are frequently made up on adil- frrnt arena, when the challenging parly dis covers that his antagonist is not afraid to face him. The Ncw-York papers inform us, that the board appointed by the secretary of the navy to examine the midshipmen who arc candidates for promotion, met on hoard the Washington 7i, on the 4th instant. The board is composed of commodore Rogers, commodore Bair.brklgc, commodore Chaun- cey, and the rev. Mr. Felch. The charac ter of tlie three officers selected to compose tills board, shews of wliut importance this regulation, recently introduced, is consider ed to the character of the - navy. This is the first time a board ol this description has met. On looking into the “rules, re gulations, and instructions for the naval service of the United States,' for the ori gin of this board, wc'find tlie following, un der the head of appointments: “5.

A great party, the feder alists, forming a decided majority in seven or eight states, numerous- in most of the others, and having a full proportion r.f tlie desert, intelligence, and wealth of the country, were contradistinguished by their veneration for her character, and the deep, affectionate interest wliich they took in her prosperity. They exulted in her successes over France, even at the time when she was waging war upon their ow n firesides.
