LETTERS FROM PORTUGAL AND SPAIN; WRITTEN DURING THE MARCH OF THE BRITISH TROOPS UNDER SIR JOHN MOORE: WITH A MAP OF THE ROUTE, AND APPROPRIATE ENGRAVINGS. BY AN OFFICER.-London. Longman. 1809. TWENTY years have now passed since the first stirrings of that mighty convulsion, which we have hitherto been accustomed to name after the country where it took its rise; but to which future ages will probably affix a title more expressive of the extent to which it will have been spread. Already have the ravages of foreign war and domestic dissension been so undiscriminating and unsparing, that, with the solitary and enviable exception of Great Britain, not one of the independent states, which in the year 1792 constituted the great European republic, now remains, which has not beheld, either its sovereign perish by a violent death, or its capital occupied by an hostile power. And if we revert to the fate of the mighty masters of those countries, (for at all times the history of sovereigns has unhappily occupied more of the attention of mankind than that of nations,) we shall find instances of sweeping desolation, which remind us of the tragic tales of antiquity, in which whole families of proscribed monarchs are exhibited as sustaining every calamity incident to human nature, from the dire curse of some malignant deity. To take, for illustration, the royal houses of Europe; we find that there is not a single continental king, the inheritor of a crown, who is at this hour seated on his throne in his capital. The descendants of the most illustrious of these dynasties, are now literally fugitives and mendicants; the legal heirs of a second kingdom, trepanned from their dominions, have been transferred to obscure prisons; another royal family has been driven to the new world; two Italian kings have taken refuge in islands of the Mediterranean; one northern sovereign has been deposed by his own subjects, and another, after sustaining the loss of one half of his territory, still fears to return to his ordinary residence. In short, it is only the kings of Great Britain and Denmark, each reigning over islands, who continue to dwell in the palaces of their forefathers. The fate of the European emperors seems yet at issue; for only one of them, and he the first in rank, is in a state of present suffering, tottering on the brink of extermination: while the other two are in possession of their full authority. But of these, it is to be remarked, that both owe their crowns to the murder of their predecessors, their near kinsmen, which they have not avenged, and by which they have profited: the fate of one of them, however, may be distinctly foreseen; whilst the other is pursuing a system of policy so contrary to his real interests, that its consequences cannot well be otherwise than ultimately fatal to himself. The lot of the minor states of Europe, its electorates, dutchies, earldoms, its republics federal and independent, &c. is not less remarkable; and in the history of each, we find traces of that revolutionary spirit, which will give a character and name to the present age. Many and extraordinary must have been the events which have led to such tremendous and awful conclusions, yet among all these there is not one which will attract more of the attention of posterity, or which at this moment presents so much interesting matter for contemplation, as the Spanish revolution, to which it is our wish now to invite the attention of the reader. In one most interesting particular, and in one only, the revolution in Spain resembles that of France. In both, the political body has been dissolved, and the nation resolved into A Letter on Recent Events. By Mr. Hague.
