SIEGE OF ZARAGOZA.

The following account of the siege of Zar-
agoza, taken from Southey’s _history of the
Peninsula lVar, will be read with much into-
rest at the present time, as it affords a line ll-
lustration ofthe Spanish character, and shows
us how much the cause ofliberty has to hope
in case of new invasion by the Frencli.— Obs.

“ By the end ofJuly the city was complete-
ly invested, the supply of food was scanty, and
the inhabitants had no reason to expect stic-
cor. Their exertions had been unremitted for
47 days, and nothing but a sense of duty could
have supported their bodily strength and their
spirit under such trials. They were in liour-
ly expectation of another attack or another
bombardment. They had not a single place
of security for the si'ck and the children, and
the number ofthe wounded was daily increas-
ed by repeated skirmishes, in which they en-
gaged for the purpose ofopeiiing a cqnitniini-
cation with the country. At this juncture
they made one desperate effort to recover the
Torrero. It was vain; and convinced,by re-
peated losses, and especially by this last re-
pulse, tliat it was hopeless to make an effectu-
al sally, they resolved to abide the issue of
the contest within the walls, and conquer or
perish there.———-"-On the night of the ‘Id of
August, and on the following day the French
bombarded the city fro__m their batteries oppo-
site the gates of Cartne'n. A foiindling hospi-
tal, which was filled with the sick and wound-
ed, took fire, and was rapidly consumed.-—
During this scene of horror, the most intrepid
exertions were made to rescue the helpless
sulferers from the flames. No person thought
of his own property or individual concerns ;
every one hastened thither. The women were
eminently conspicuous in their exertions, re-
gardless of the shot and shells which fell about
them, and braving the flames ofthe building.

On the following day, the French comple-
ted their batteries upon the right bank of the
Guerva, within pistol shot of the gate of St.
Engracia, so called from a splendid church
and convent of Jeronmites,situated on one side
ofit. On the 4th of Aug. the French opened
batteries within pistol shot of this church and
convent. The mud walls were levelled at the
first discharge ; and the besiegers, rushing

- through the opening, took the batteries before

the adjacent gates in reverse. Here General
Mori,.who had distinguished hiinselfon many
former occasions, was made prisoner. The
streets of St. Eiigracia, which they had just
entered, lead into the Coza, and the corner
buildings where it thus terminated, were on
the one hand the convent of St. Francisco,
and on the other, the general hospital. Both
were stormed and set on fire; the sick and
wounded threw themselves from the windows
to escape the flames, and the horrors of the
scene were aggravated by tliemaniacs, whose
voices raving or singing in paroxysms of wild-
er madness, or crying in vain to be set free,
were heard amid the conftision of dreadful
sounds. Many fell victims to the fire, and
some to the indiscriminating fury of the as-
sailants. Those who escaped were conducted
as prisoners to the .Torrero ; but when their
c_oiidition had been discovered, they were
sent back to take their chance in the sicge.—-
After a severe contest and dreadful carriage,

' the French forced their way into-the Cozo in

the very centre of the city, and before the day
closed, were in possession of one half of Zar-
agoza. Lefebvre now believed that he had
effected his purpose, and required Palafox to
surrender, in a note containing only these
words , ‘ Head-quarters, St. Engracia. Ca-
pitulation !’ The heroic Spaniard immediate-
ly returned this reply : ‘ Head-quarters, Zara-
goza. ‘War at the knife’s point!’

The contest which was now carried on is
unexampled in history. On one side of the
Coza was the French; and in the centre of
it, their general, Verdier, gave his orders from

the Franciscan convent. The opposite side
was maintained by the Arragonese, who threw
up batteries at the openings of the cross-streets
within a few paces of those which the French
erected against them. The intervening space
was presently" heaped with dead, either. slain
upon the spot, or ‘thrown out of the windows.
Next day the ammunition of the citizens be-
gan’ to fail-,-—Tlie French were expected every
moment to renew their‘efl'orts for completing
the conquest, and evenlthis circumstance oc-
casioned no dismay, nor did any one think of
capitulatiom One cry was heard from the
people, wherever Palafox rode among them,
that ifpowder failed, they were ready to at-
tack the enemy with their knives,—-formida-
ble weapons in the hands of desperate men.
Don Francisco Palafox, the general’s brother,
entered the city with a convoy of arms and
ainunition, and a reinforcement of 3000 men,
a succour as little expected by thezaragozans,
as it had been provided against by the etieniy.

The war was now continued from street to
street, from house to house, and from rootii to
room: pride and itidignatioti having wrought
up the French to a pitch of obstinate fury, lit-

. lle itiferior to the devoted courage ofthe pat-

riots. During the whole siege no man distin-
guished hiniselfmore remarkably than the eu-
rate ofone ofthe parishes within the walls, by
name P. Santiage Sass. He was always to be
seen in the streets, sometimes fighting with
the most deternilned bravery against the ene-
inies, not ofliis country alone, but of freedom
and all virtuous priiiciples,wherever they were
to be foimd, at other times administering the
sacrament to the dying, and confirming, with
the authority offaith, that hope which gives
to death, under such circuiristances, the joy,
the exultation, the triumph, and the spirit of
martyrdom. Palafox reposed the uttnost con-
fidence in this brave priest, and selected him
whenever any thing peculiarly difficult or haz-
ardous was to be done. At the head of forty
chosen men, he succeeded in introducing a
supply ofpowder into the town so essentially
necessary for its defence.

This most obstinate and murderous contest
was continued for eleven successive days and
nights; more indeed by nightthan by day, for
it was almost certain death to appear by day-
light within reach of those houses which were
occtipied by either party. Btit under cover of
the darkries,the combatants frequently daslietl
across the street, to attack each others batte-
ries; arid the battles which began there were
often carried on into the houses beyoiid,wliere
they fought from room to rootii, and floor to
floor. The hostile batteries were so near each
other, that a Spaniard in one place made way
under cover of the dead bodies, which coin-
pletely filled the space between them, and fas-
teiied a rope to one ofthe French cannon; iii
the struggle, which ensued, the rope broke,
and the Zaragozans lost their prize at the ve-
ry moment they thought themselves sure ofit.

A new horror was added to the dreadful cir-
ciinistaiices of war in this ever memorable
siege. In general engagements the dead are
left upon the field ; and the survivors remove
to clear ground and an untainted atmosphere;
but here in Spain, and in the mouth ofAu-
gust, there, where the dead lay, the struggle
was still carried on, and pestilence was dread-
ed from the enormous accumulation of putri-
fying bodies. Nothing in the whole course of
the siege so much embarrassed Palafox as this
evil. ’l‘lie only reriiedy was to tie ropes to
the French prisoners, and push them forward
amid the dead and dying, to remove the bones
and bring them away for interment. Even
for this necessary office there was no truce,
and it would have been certain death to the
Arragonese who should have attempted to per-
form it ; btit the prisoners were in general se-
cured by the pity oftlieir'own soldiers, and in
this manner the evil was in some degree di-
iiiinished. A council of war was held by the
Spaniards on the 8th, not for the purpose
which is too usual in such councils, but that
their heroic resolution might be communicat-
ed with authority to the people. It was, that
in those quarters ofthe city where the Arra-
gonese still maintained their ground, they
should defend themselves with the same firm-
ness; should the enemy at last prevail, they
were-then to retire over the Ebro into the su-
burbs till they perished. \Vhen this resolu-
tion was made public, it was received with the
loudest acclamations. But in every conflict
the citizens now gained grotiiid upon the sol-
diers, winning it inch by inch, till the space
occupied by the enemy, which on the day of
their entrance was nearly half the city, was
gradually reduced to about an eighth part.--—
Meantime, intelligence was received by the
French, all tending to disliearten them—the
surrender of Dupont, the failure of Moncey
before Valencia, and the news that the Junta
ofthat province had dispatched six thousand
men to join the levies in Arragon, which were
destined to relieve Zaragoza. During the
night ofthe 13th, their fire was particularly
fierce and destructivc—after their batteries
had ceased, flames burst out in many parts of
the buildings they had won ; their last act was
to blow up the church of St. Engracia; the
powder was placed in the subterranean church ;
and this remarkable place——tliis monument of
fraud and credulity--this splendid theatre
wherein so many thousands had visited in
fa'ith,and from which unquestionably, many
had departed with their imaginations elevated,
their principles euiiobled, and their hearts
strengthened, was laid in ruins. In the iiior-
uing the French columns, to the great sui-prize
of the Spaniards, were seen at a distance, re-
treating over the plain,oii the road toPamploiia.

 

FROM LAS cases’ JOURNAL.

JV'apoleon in .4meric__a.7—In looking over
some newspapers the Emperor saw it stated
that Joseph Buonaparte had made extensive
purchases ofland, on the north ofthe state of
New-York, on the River St. Lawrence, and
that a great number of French Families had
grouped round him and were soon likely to
form a vast colony. It was remarked that
the spot seemed to have been fixed on with a
view to the interests ofthe United States, and
in opposition to the policy of England.—In
the south, in Louisiana, for example, the ref-
ugees could have loolted forward only to the
enjoyment ofrepose and domestic happiness;
but in the present sittiation they must soon
naturally become objects ofattraction to the
population of Canada, which was already
French,and they riiustultimately fomi a strong
barrier, or evena hostile point against the
English, who yet possess the dominion ofthat
part of America. The emperor said that the
establishment would in a few years present a
numerous population distinguished for all sorts
of useful knowledge. If they do their duty,

said be, they will transmit from their excellent
writings, victorious refutations of the system
which now triumphs in Europe. When at the
island of Elba,:.t,he Emperor had entertained a
similar idea. i’ -. .. ‘ . .

He then proceeded to ca-lcujlate all tliatjhe
had given to-the difl‘e'rent members of his fam-
ily; and’ observed,’ that they might have a-
massed considerable sums of money. For his
part, he said, he had nothing ; ifin courseof
time he might find himself in possession of a-
ny property in Europe, he should be wholly
indebted forit tn the foresight and contrivance

of some of his friends.

If the Emperor had gone to America he in-
tended to liaveicollected all his relatives a-
round him ; and he supposed that they might
have realized at least forty millions of francs.
This point would have realized the nucleus of
a national union ; a second France. Before
the conclusion ofa year, the events ofEurope
would have collected around -him a hundred
millions of francs and sixty thousahd indi-
viduals, iiiost oftheiii possessing wealth, talent
and infoi-inatioii. The emperor said he should
have liked to realize that dream: it would
have been a renewal of his glory.

‘ America,’ continued he, ‘ was in all respects.
our proper asylum. It is an immense conti-
nent, possessing the advantages of a peculiar
system of freedom. If a man be troubled
with melancholy, he may get into a coacli,and
drive a thousand leagues, enjoying all the way
the pleasure ofa common traveller.’ In A'-
tnerica you may be on a footing of equality
with every one ; you may,ifyou please,iiiiiigle
with the crowd, withoutiiiconvenience, retain-
ing your owii manners, your own language,
your own religion, &c.’

Tue UNITED STA'1‘ES.—-The following ar-
ticle is extracted froin some remarks of a
French editor upon the Message of the Pres-
ident to the last Congress : .

* * * ‘ lmmoveable as a rock which
braves the waves that storm around it, the
government of the United States views from
its safe position the tempests by which the
whole ofSoutli America, and a part of Eu-
rope, are desolated, and the tlireatning clouds
which are even now, accumulating over the
remainder of our continent. What ti picture
this growing world presents to our contempla-
tion ! How it renovates the hearts of those

-disgusted with the miseries of Europe! A

revenue of 100,000,000 francs without direct
taxes; which leaves asurplus of 12,000,000,
after all the expenses of government are paid;
an army levied from the midst ofthe native
citizens ofthe coutitry, which weighs neither
on its population nor treasury ; and offers no
dangers to its liberty; the maritime frontiers
ofthe state receiving, all at once from art those
defences which nature has left them unpro-
videtl with ; a population increased without
end and without fear on a territory, which for
ages to come, will admit ofits increase ; a flag
which waves over every sea ; the arts of man-
ufacturing industry developing themselves on
a soil, which we looked on as only adapted to
the toils of agriculture. Such is the picture
which is offered to us by the United States of
America, in the forty fifth year oftlieir exist-
ence as a nation. And whence so many bles-
sings? From national institutions, whose free
and natural action is not impeded by those
particular and individual interests wliicli,else-
where openly attack, secretly undermine, or
artfully alter and disguise them.

The executive head ofthe government of
the United States had to express his views on
those deeply iuterestiiig circumstances, in
which both Europe and America are now in-
volved. With what gravity, with what ex-
quisite judgment and foresight, he has done
it ! How every thing is classed in his speech
with clearness and precision! His words are
those of trtitli, of reason, ofjustice, and ofliu-
inanity. South America-—viz. the U. States
of South America (he says) are now strong e-
nough to rest on what they had obtained. '.[‘o
continue a contest without any hopes of ob-
taining an object, would be both inhuman and
unjust. The whole question ofAuierican In-
dcpciidenoe is couiprised in these few words.

The first of any Govcruiiieiit, the United
States have proclaimed their wishes for the
successful issue ofthe noble struggle in which
the Greeks are engaged, they have found in
another hemisphere, sentiments which would
have honoured those who are nearer to them,
and owe, perhaps, a gre‘.-ttcr debt ofgratitude
to their ancestors.

Whilst Europe is filled with declamation a-
gainst the revolutions of Spain and Portugal,
America sees only in those great events, an
improvement in the condition ofa part ofthe
liuiiiau race, to which her own children be-
long. ‘It isa maxim sacred to our govern-
ment and people,’ says the President, ‘ that
every iiidependentiiation has the right ofim-
proving its own institutions, and, that no one
has any right to interfere in this subject.’-
Agaiii——‘lt is evident that if any convulsion
takes place in that part of the world, it must
proceed from causes not among us, as we have
but one order herc—tlie order of tliepeople.’

Tlius,iii the opinion ofadisinterested judge,
ifEurope is again involved in war, she will
owe it to the .4n'slocrac_i/. Those words of
the President refer to us the fundamental dif-
ference between our situation and that of A-
merica. There every thing is plain before you ;
you build on a soil where you meet with no
obstructions; here you mustdemolish and build
tip at the same time. Your work is doubled;
the prescription of ages, and of 1400 years of
barbarism and feudality exclaim against you,
to prevent the establisliment of an orderly and
harmonious system, which they hate ;—we
must both fight and build up atnidst ruins.-—
But, America, happily, knows no such imped-
iments. She sprting to life full grown, and
proportioned at once, for all the relations of
social existence : in her birth, all was pure,ra-
tioiial, great, and free from ostentation.
Happy land ! where there is no room for the
sophistry of the ambitious—-for the contests
between old and new interests—-victors and
vanquished ; the dead buried or rooted from
their graves; and where every wheel in the
political machine moves without noise and
without ex ense.’ . ' 

FROM THE manor .ti~ii:cnoTes.

Descending the .x9lps.—The manner in
which the asses descend the precipices of the
Alps is truly extraordinary. In the passes of
these mountains there are often on one, side
lofty eminences, and on the other frightful a-
bysses; and as these ge ‘ 0 ally follow the di-
rection of the inountai the roads, instead of
lying on a level, form at'every little distance

 

steep declivitiesof several hundred yards down;

wards. These can only be descended by ass? i

es, and the animals themselves seem sensible
of the danger from the caution which they
use. ‘When they come to the edge of one of
the descents, they stop of themselves, without
being checked by the rider;and if lieinadver-
tently tries to "spur them. o'n,they are iinmove-
able. They seem all this time ruminating on
the danger that lies defore them, arid‘p_re‘pare
ing themselves forthe ericounter ; they not on -
ly attentively view the road, but tremble and
snort at the danger. Having resolved on the
descent, they put their fore feet in a posture
as if they were going to lie down. In-this at-
titude, having taken a survey of the road,tliey
slide down with the swiftness of -ajmeteor.-—
.lii the meantime, all that the rider has to do
is to keep himself fast in the saddle, without
checking the rein ; for the least motion is suf-

ficient to destroy the equilibrium of the ass,iii'

which case both inust unavoidably perish.—.-
Tlieir address in this rapid descent is quite a-
mazing; for in their swiftest motion, when
they might seem to have lost all government
of themselves, they follow all the dilferent
windings of the road, as ifthey had previous-
ly settled in their initids the route they were
to follow, and taken every precaution for
their safety.
