BY COUNT TORENO, THE LEADER OF THE PRESENT CORTES, AND LATE AN EXILE IN ENGLAND AND FRANCE, TRANSLATED FROM THE ORIGINAL SPANISH, BY WILLIAM WALTON, ESQ. Exclusively for the Pamphleteer. Spain in 1820, is no longer what she was in and subsequent to 1808. Such is the language used by some persons, as they contemplate the universal, and almost simultaneous, impulse of the Spanish nation, to recover its lost liberties; an effort that has filled with astonishment and admiration—not only foreigners, who, in general, have no other means of judging of the state of an oppressed and speechless nation, than the acts and operations of its government---but, what is more remarkable, many Spaniards also; in whose eyes this evem has appeared no less extraordinary and wonderful, than it did to natives of another land.

Such was the real fact as it happened, and the explosion became immediate. It was not ignorance and $uperstition which opposed resistance to Buonaparte, but rather |
