The caricature shops in London display several works of fancy suggested by the threatened invasion of Spain. One represents the king of Spain as a Mule, chained to the stone of the constitution, and crying to the duke of Angoulême to release him. The latter, represented as a Jack Ass, is seen capering over the Pyrenees, and answering the call by braying. In another, Louis is striving to draw on the boots of Napoleon, and invoking the God of St. Louis to help him. As his body is bent back in the exertion, the crown is seen falling off his head, while young Napoleon stands behind ready to catch it.
