The friends of Bonaparte, ancl the poor weak, creatures who some months’ since, Urged the necessity of making peace with him, now join in urging a peace witji his tool James Madison. They abused and villiiied us then as me fibers of the War Fac~ tiort $ and they do nothing else now. We appeal to the cqramon sensemf the country Is it, or is not the die* tate /alike of justice and of policy, “ ndt only to chastise the savages in to present peace, but to make a lasti ing impression on their future fears?'* 1 his is Mr, Madison's oyn lu le. -He can’t complain of us Tor adopting it. The Morning Chroni cle, true to its old, anti-British feei- tells us, we have obtained all that we went to war Tor.” Why, we did not go to war for afty thing. In common parlance., to go to war for any thing, is’ to commence hosts litres yvitti a view to obtain some ob ject,, tip t in our possession ; but it was Mr, Madison who went to war with ps, and that in June, 1812. Mark the time, reader ; for P speaks volumes, in explanation of the traitor's motives, It was,. at the , very moment when Bonaparte cross ed the Niemen, at the head of half a million of spldiers, professedly tb put the last hand to the Coniincntai System, for the ruin of G-Britam.—- I beq, when our fate [as this serpent thought] hJung trembling in the ba lancer did he Jet slip ‘ the dogs df war, to seize and: bring us t,o the ground. The, scene ia;completely & wonderfully^changed;!“Bonaparte is lallen, Madison is disgraced and dis comfitted, and Great Britain has JheW means of inflicting ample and de served vengeance.

Thfey contain a long De cree Ferdinand 7th, (issued at Va lencia, the 4th May, and g 14) declaring the Curies of Spain, and the Consti tution formed under it, at an end. I he iollowing is a summary transla tion of this important document j The decree commences with a his tory of the proceedings dfthe French government during the time they oc cupied Spain. C Fhe King says, that * on the sth May, 1808 he issued cree calling the Cortes which con tinued their sittings- until, January 1810, when the first council of jthe regency was called, with their pow ers to September 18/0, when the general ? and extraordinary C6rtes was formed and,, installed in the islie of Leon ; and-at their sitting the members of the Cortes took an oath to preserve to him all his sovereignty. Fhe King proceeds to give a history of the manner, in which the Cortes ‘were choseoj and says that the Cler gy and nobles were not called, al though she Central Junto ordered it done : The Ist act of the Cortes, was to depreciate from *his sovereignty, attributing it to despotism that they might appropriate it to the Cortes ; and that this attempt againstthe pre rogatives of the throne,'was the basis of their future acts That almost aU the forms of the ancient Consti tution of monarchy were innovated upon, and thaJUUie Cortes copied the revolutionary and domestic princi ples of the French Constitution ofj d79l:—*That to prepare she minds of the people to receive these inno vations, through the public prints, they abused the liberty of the press to make the royal power odius, giv ing the,rights of his Majesty tne name of Despotism—making .synon imouT the King and Despot, and caL ling Kings Tyrants:—That they per»* Routed all those v/Ikt opposed or contradicted them,.and in ail things immitated a democracy. [Here fallows the official Decla ra* ion of Ferdinand renouncing. Ins acceptance of the constitution, annul ling the powers of the General and > Extraordinary Cortes, and making void all their acts and decrees ; and forbidding under the penalty of death, any of Ins subjsUs giving the said- Cortes support or countenance.] The Spanish papers state that Fer dinand 7th entered Madrid on the Uth of May, and wasTectavod with t|« same day* the king issued a decree to prevent the abuse of the liberty of of the press ; and that in future the «tUcection of persons, appointed |.a pre vent any publication against ReUgidn, andagSinst the government, and o* the persons of those wiio administer it.
