subjugation of the cirilbed world to aji universe barbarous despotism , or the attainment } in all the nations of Ckriat , ^ odom ^ ot a more entire and better defined ,, and more solemnly sanctioned state of freedom than has yet been eirjove < l .
To which side our wishes and prayers lead us , we need not say ; , but u ^; have been so often disappointed that we dare not assume the tone of prophecy : we must content ourselves with , the persuasion and belief * that . He vyho has all hearts
in his hands * and who is King of tings , will overrule all things to the furtherance of hU infinitely wise aacl merciful govern ment , which involves by necessary consequence the final happiness and dignity f the human race *
The royal combination , taking the namq of The Holy Alliance , is displayed to all Europe in its true character , as a league of brute force against opinions . These " Holy Leaguers , " acquiring courage from partial success , and calculating ( erroneously , as we trust , ) that the quietness of nations is the settled submission
of fear , have openly announced it a £ their will , which is to be sovereign law , that no changes shall take place in the European nations without their fiat . None but legitimate kings , that is , kings who ^ re sueh in spite : of the people , are to be acknowledged , and from these vicegerents of Heaven are to emanate all' law and all
policy . Every expression of the popular will and feeling is to be treated from the first as high treason . The Greek , on one side of Europe , and the Spaniard , on the other , are to be coerced and chastised by the myrmidons of the northern powers , if they touch the anointed Mahmouds < or Ferdinands . Hundreds of thousands of
armed machines are t& be let loose a * once against any refractory people that shall question " the right divine of kings to govern wrorifc , " and : dispute the restoration of the IaqaisitTKrtr , or resist the robbery , violation and- massacre of whole inlands and provinces ' of Christians .
Our indignation aft the assumptions of the allied despots , Jb nrifeed witfe unspeak ~ abie disgust nt their iivpotcrlsy * Of three different and ineompambtereli ' gions , these luem affect a pure zeal for truth * an < J ' plant in their assembly the standard of the cross . Under this banner , phey proclaim the persecuted Greeks as rebels ,
and declare their fraternity with the fanatical barbarian of Turkey . Is there a man living , with the heart of a m # n * who does not { jour scorn upon the dishonest faction ^ though luii # s compose k , Who . e ' en whHe plundering , * forge JReUgioti $ ujvme r To frauk their spoil s && * ? > without fetur or shame .

CaU d ?*™ & ** H *> ly Trinity ,, to bless Partition leagues apd deeds of devili $ hness 1 , % f&Us $ ¦ f&am the triple alliance have been delivered to the Spanish Goveinr
ment , and have been promptly and suitably answered . The ambassadors have , in consequence , demanded their passports , which have been readily granted , accompanied by laeouie messages for their masters , which : wi& shew theni that eleven millions of people are not' to be juggled
oat of their liberties ^ -or intimidated into a surrender o £ their independence by a despotic rescript * The , temperate fineness of , Spain is the theme of universal praise ? and It ! ~ justly considered as a pledge of v union and perseverance , which it may be toped will ensure the success q £ Jtheir rkthtwus causes ~ .

be easy for the Ultras in that eottoiry , to proceed in their srttemgts to nullify the Charter , without en ^ ngeriug the throne of the Bourbons . Superstition is called hi as the ally of this party . The priests are every where employed to preach up the sacredneas of % 1 ngs and the
nothingness of tfene people * Festivals , consecratioria , processions , are got up to dazzle the public ey £ and to keep men from thinking . At Lisie ^ where twelve royalist deputies we / e tlfeetctt , a Te Deuni was sung in t \ x& Cathedral for their success ,
