I.Seville ; and that the Junta, the tu- l!
pt eme Central Junta," who (havmggOia j
adviserj, I dare say) began their labors f
: l)y pu'ting down the small degree of j
the liberty of the press that had risen j
out of 'he absence, of the momentary j
absence, of despotism ; yes, itdoes seem,-j
jfiom the newspapers of th.s mornitig, !
jthat this Junta, though they had -taken j
I the; precaution td fortify their regular
j government" by putting down the liber-
ty of the press, have been obliged to quit
j Stville, and to llee towards Cadiz ; that
j is to say, to get as far out of the reach
j of the-.r pursuers as the sea will let

the Spaniards would icpel Bonaparte's J '

This was the darling hope of cur!;
lolincal opponents. 1 hey were veiy jj
anxious to have it in their power to say p
to us, ' Look, here are people living
under 3 despotism, who "have been able
;'.nd willing to defend their country a
gainst France." Their rnotives for this
were not easily mis.aken ; and if the
French had, no matter by what means,
been driven out of Spain, we should n -ver
have heard the end of it ; morning,
ncn and night it would have beeen dm:
ned in our eais, that a people, undtr u
despotic government, had succeeded 1
jdfcfwnding their country against Franot
