    To the Editor of the Monthly Repository .

    Nit , Jan ^\ 2 9 1809 . I perceive , with regret $ a disposition in some of your

    correspondents either to sneer at the Spanish Patriots ( Vol . iii . p , 65 % ) or to look with unconcern on their ex . ertions , ( p . 659 ) . Corrector appears to take for granted , that if

    JSpain become externally free , or in other words , independent , she will still remain the prey of her own crafty priests and cruel inquisitors . This apprehension is , surely * unreasonable . Be the issue

    of the present contest what it may , I feel historically and morally certain , that Spain will , in consequence , have a better government : for the efforts which she is putting forth , cannot but be ultimately

    favourable to her interests , both civil and religious . Assuming , however , for the stake of argument , that , as the result of a successful struggle for independence , she continues to wear the chains with which she is

    § hackled by inquisitors and priests ; - —much as 1 may lament so grievous a state of things , they are chains , let me remark- which she

    consents to wear . And I am yet to learn , that because a nation is so unhappy , as to have absolute

    monarchy for their civil government , and intolerant popery for their established religion , their independence may therefore be attacked , wantonly , and with

    impunity , by combined violence and fraud ; or that they ttre not entitled to our good wishes for the repulse of their unprincipled invaders . I am not yet a convert to the doctrine of " doing evil that

    good may come ; " nor shall Tad- * mit that Bonaparte , though , like the Assyrian , he is the staff of the Almighty ' s anger , is justified in seizing a neighbour ' s" territories at his pleasure .

    In what degree the Spaniards arc enlightened patriots , is immaterial to the question . Patriots they certainly are , if patriotism be the love and the defence of one ' s

    native land , and if it animate to a vigorous contest for the independence of a country on any foreign power ., I am , Sir , Your obedient Servant ,
