For the South of Spain, where the first effort of regeneration was made, is yet free.

Saragossa (which, by a truly efficient British army, might have been relieved) has indeed fallen; but leaves little to regret; for consummate have been her fortitude and valour.

The citizens and soldiers of Saragossa are to be envied: for they have completed the circle of their duty; they have done all that could be wished--all that could be prayed for.

And, though the cowardly malice of the enemy gives too much reason to fear that their leader Palafox (with the fate of Toussaint) will soon be among the dead, it is the high privilege of men who have performed what he has performed--that they cannot be missed; and, in moments of weakness only, can they be lamented: their actions represent them every where and for ever.

Palafox has taken his place as parent and ancestor of innumerable heroes.
Oh! that the surviving chiefs of the Spanish people may prove worthy of their situation! With such materials,--their labour would be pleasant, and their success certain.
