plan , that the Jesuits will scarcely be able to get possession again of many places of education ; and as to their interference in the political
world , the catholics are too much enlightened to permit them to play the same game that was carried on formerly with so much success , jlowever , after what we have seen ,
it is impossible to conjecture the changes that may be effected . Not the least disposition appears in
jbtome to get rid of its abominations , and the other countries are far from seeing the folly of subm ission to an Italian priest , who , to support his newly-acquired
authority , will have recourse to all jlie wiles and deceits wliich have been practised by his see for so many ages . The tone may be
aliened , but the craft is exactly the same ; and if it is seen through at c > nce by the real Christians , the nominal professors of religion will , $ s they have been before , be deluded by the varied forms of hypocrisy .
In Spain a crisis seems to be at Jiand , aud the usurpation of Ferdinand may be shaken . Compassion is excited for those who pre . Served the kingdom for this
infatu ated sovereign , and who in pri . son" are lamenting that they did pot takp the proper steps for securing tfyftt liberty for which they Jjad undergone so many privations , and struggled through so manv
difficulties . The precise state of tthe kingdom is , however , far from being well known . The king is apparently all-powerful . His edicts are very violent , and threaten mi * litary punishment to the disaffected * The rumour of his father ' s return
to claiip t | ie kingdom appears tp be unfounded , as the cerempnijea of Rpme , ljave in his eyes a , $ r $ s ference over the splendour of roy *

Monte Video has at last surrendered to the arms of Buenos Ayres , whose success was greatly owing to the energy of their English admiral . The new government has thus the command of both sides of La Plata ; and if Spain can afford
any troops in this crisis , the few she can send will find no small difficulty in obtaining a , rallying place for the discontented . From this conquest Buenos Ayres is at
ease in its eastern quarter ; and it loses no time , for it is carrying on the war with , vigour in the west Every thing portends the establish * .
ment of an active government , and as an Englishman is at the head of it $ marine , we shall hope his influence will extend so far . as to prevent the new from imitating ihfe old country in its inquisition and
superstition . Norway is in a vipry exlraotdi ^ nary situation . An armistice has taken place between t&is country and the Swedes , who had penetrated to within a few miles of
Christiana * In the engagements before the armistice the Swedes had no great reason to boast of their success , and the grounds qf the newly-elected king ' s withdraw * ing from the contest are not suffi * ciently apparent . Both parties are now to await the approaching diet * in which , if the Norwegians can maintain the points fixed on by
their "fa rmer debates , they may think themselves very happy . U is a great point , that they ca ^ ni *} | ve terms with their future governor , and it is not of yei % gred * Consequence , whether he lives at Cppexij&agen or Stock holm- ^ ^ ut th e eyes of air Europe ar *
