It appears, that for a considerable time past, I believe since the alarm of infectious fever in Spain. the French Government live been collecting troops in the southern departments of France. They have not, however, on the immediate frontier, a brger body of men than are sufficient for the performance of the ditties of the " Cordon Sanitaire " so long as that precau tion is necessary, in consequence of ;he prevalence of the fever in the neighbouring provinces of Spain ; or than can fairly be eicerned rectisary for the purposes of observation of a comfy stir& is the sea of a civil war, and for the protection of the Ft:ec:b frontier from intuit, by the different parties in operation immediately on the borders. l'illele said, that there was no doubt that expectations were footed respecting the result of the deliberations of the Cospeu on the affairs of Spain, as well in Spain as elsewhere; ar:dtitat if the Congress were to separate, and to come to no de erica on those affairs, it was probable tkat the existing evils valid be greatly aggravated, and that the two countries might be Weed into a war. iloosietir de Villele wished that the Congress should take iitseensideration the actual position of the French Govern ment relation to Spain, and the hypethe.is under which they he forced into a war; and that the four other Powers of Mince should deeare what line they would each take, in met the occurrence of any of the events which they conceived issiliarce them to war. 1 Afetssieur.ie that it would bpik isaiessah?e for us to declirc eff;.-.l4inti what uvula be our os , open e, hypothetical cost'. /10.2.-1111.

Nadi an interference always appeared m the British Goxern ment an unnecessary assumption of responsibility; which, consi dering all the circumstances, what expose the King of Spain to danger, and the Potter or Pote.,rs pinch iate,:c.lre, 0144 7 1 .. 1 1h certain rides, and possibl e ; er or.v..nts •x2etzes, 7.al aztenvioit matt in producing avy re, dt. • Upon these principles his Majesty has advised his Allies, and has acted himself, from the month of April, 1820, to the pre salt day. '1,11.: 'Protocols and other acts of the Congress at Airr-la-Cha pelle, which established the union at present existing between the live I`,,wers, so happily for the world, require the most un limited confidence and communication on the part of each; and, accordingly, his Majesty has never failed to communicate to his Allies, and particularly to France, every instruction which he has scut to his Minister at Madrid ; and all the communica tions made by his Majesty's commands to the Minister of Spain residi'tg in London—all in the same spirit of good-will towards the King of Spain and the Spanish nation. It is impossible to look at the existing relations between France and Spain, adverting to what has passed from the coinmence mum of the year 1820, to the present moment-, without being sensible of the unfortunately false position in which the King of Spain is placed : and that the spirit of party in both countries, having aggravated the national antipathy which ann:cedent cir crimsaances bad occasioned, ia in a great measure the cause of the unfortunam irritation in ripain against France, to which his Excellency the Minister of France has adverted. The great oh. jeer of his Ma jeay'sforeign policy is to presave peace anion; rations. Ifefeels the most anxious interest for the happiness of Ms Catholic Ma • s jesty and the honour of his Government ; and it tooted be his sincere desire to allay that irritation. But the British Government cannot but feel that to make any declaration on any of the three points referred to by his Excel-- kncy, without a previous accurate knowledge of all the circum stances which have occurred between the t3VI countries, would be not only premature arid unjust, but would probably be una vailing ; and would in fact deprive his Majesty of the power of discussing and deciding upon the measures of his own-Govern ment in this affair hereafter, when he should be better informed, Ilia Majesty must either place himself in this painful position, or he must do what would be equally painful to his feelings, re quire from his august friend and ally the King of France, that ke should submit his conduct to the advice and cuntroul of his Majesty. Ilia Majesty's Government cannot think either alternative to be. necessary ; but are of opinion that a review of the obvious circumstance* of the situation of Prance, as well as Spain, will shew, that whatever may be the ton e as s umed towa rd s F rance by the ruling Powers in Spain, they are not in a state to tarry into execution any plan of real hostilit;.. Considering that a civil war exists in the whole extent of tins frontier which separates the two kingdoms; that hostile arid, are in movement and In operation in every part of it ; and dial there is not a town or village on the French frontier which is not liable to insult or injury—there is no person who must not approve of the precaution which his Most Christian Majesty has taken in forming a corps of observation fur the protection of his frontier, and for the preservation of the tranquillity of his People. His Britannic Majesty sincerely wishes that this measure may be effectual in attaining the objects fur which it is calculated ; and that the wisdom of the French Government will have ?ti duced them to explain it at Madrid, in such terms as will Anglify, the Government of his Catholic Majesty of its necessity. , Such an explanation Will, it is hoped, tend to allay in some deo gree the irritation against France ; and, on the other hand, it may be hoped that some allowance will be made in France for the state of effervescence of men's minds in Spain, in the very crisis of a revolution and civil war. A moment's reflection upon the relative power of the two States will show that the real evil to which his blost Christian Maiesty is exposed is that resulting from the operations of the civil war on the neighbouring frontier of Spain; against which the measure which his Government have adopted is best calcu lated to preserve him. Even revolutionary madness could not calculate upon the suck cess of a serious attack by Spain upon France, under any circum stances which it is possible to suppose to exist at present in the latter kingdom. But the attention of the Spanish Government i 3 now occupied by a civil war, the operations of which certainly justify the for mation of a Corps of Observation in France; and it is not very probable that they would at this mombnt desire to break with France. Neither is it to be believed that, in their present situation, they would not desire still to enjoy the advantage of that coun tenance to their system, which the presence of the French Am bassador at the seat of Government must afford them. Ili% :Majesty therefore considers any rupture by Spain, or any measure on her part which may render necessary the immediate discontinuance of diplomatic relations by. France, very impro bable : and as his Majesty is quite unacquainted with what has passed between France and Spain since the month of April, 1S_0; and his Government cannot know upon what grounds' his Most Christian Majesty's Government may think proper to discontinue the diplomatic relations of France with Spun; or upon what grounds war may break out between the two coun tries; it is impossible for them now to' pronounce what advice they should consider it their duty to give to his Majesty, In case either or both of these events should mew. Ilia Majeaty most. anxiously wishes that such extremities may be avoided ; and he feels convinced that the Government of his Most Christian Majesty will Sad means of avoiding them.. No. 5 is a Dispatch from. the Duke of Wellington to Mr. Secretary Canning, dated Verona, November IS, 101111, which incloses a Memorandum of what was passing there, which his Grace had transmitted to Sir Charles Stuart. In this Memo randum it is mentioned, that to the questions of the French Mi nister, the three Continental Allies answered, on the 30th of October, that they would act as France should, in respect to their Ministers in Spain, and would give to France every coun tenance and assistance.she should require—the cause far melt assistance, and the period and the mode of giving it, being re served to be spniSed in a Treaty.

Minute of the Answer which I returned to the Ministers of the Allies on the !Otis inst. when they COCIMMIIi• Bated to me the dispatches which they proposed to write to the 111inisttts of their several Courts at Madrid. MINUTE—(INCLOSURE IN NO. 6). (Extract). Verona, Nov. 10, lira. The Ministers of the Allied Courts have thought proper to make known to Spain the sentiments of their respective Sove reigns, by dispatches addressed to the Ministers of their several- Courts, residing at Madrid, instead of by Official Notes—as a mode of communication less formal, and affording greater faci lity of discussion. These Dispatches, it appears, are to be. knee to the Spanish Government. The origin, circumstances, and consequences of the Spank* Revolution—the eakting state of affairs in Spain—and the COD duct of those who have been at the head of the Spanish Governs. went, may have endangered the safety of other countries, assn, may have excited the uneasiness of the Governments, hese Ministers I am now addressing; and those Governments may think it necessary to address the Spanish Government upon this topics referred to in these I)ispatches. These sentiments and opinions have certainly been entertained by the three Cabinets of Austria, l'russia, and Russia, fora considerable period of time : and the British Government duly appreciates the forbearance and deferent for the opinions of other Cabinets, which have dictated the delay to make these ca mmunications to the present usetr.ent. Rut having been de layed Cll ways, I wield invest those Igitris:ers to consider, • is es- I. ' • - - whether edits the moment at wbith web remomtrancea aught to be' made ; whither they are calculated to allay the irritation against France, and to prevent a possible rupture; and whether they might not itithitdvantage be delayed to a later period. They are certainly calculated to irritate the Government of Spain ; to afford ground for a belief, that advantage has been taken of the irritation existing between that Government and France, to call down upon Spain the power of the Affiance; and thus to embarrass still more the difficult position of the French Government. The result of these . comtnunications will probably be, that the diplomatic relations between the three Allied Courts and Spain will be discontinned,—whatever may be the state of the ques tioas -between Franca and Spain : this occurrence cannot assist the cav rl of France ; as those questions will stand upon their own ground, and the Government of France must decide them upon their own merits. But these communications are not only calculated to embar rass the French GovernMent, but likewise the King, my Mastet. IN Majesty feels sincerely for the King and the I'eupk of Spain ; he is anxious to see a termination of :lie evils and misfortunes by which that country is afflicted ; and that it should be prosperous and happy. Ills Majesty likewise earnestly desires, tbat.the usual relations of amity and good neighbourhood may be re‘ established between France and Spain ; and his ilfajesly's Govern nicht Mould Isaac tam maims to to-operate with those of his Allies, in allaSfiseg A.! existing irritsition, and in recent/4ga possiltie rupture. 'But his Aiejesty's Government are of opinion, that to mimed- Vert upon the internal transactions of all Ind.:pendent State, un less such transactions affect the essential interests of his Majesty's subjects, is ininicistent with those principles on which kit Illojesty has invariably 'weal on all questions relating to the internal concert: s of other comniries; that such animadversions, if made, must in volve 64 Majesty in serious responsibility, if they should pro duce any effect ; and must irritate, if they should not : and, it addressed, as proposed, to the Spanish GovernmerP, are likely to be injurious to the best interests of Spain, an.l to produce the worst consequences upon the prohabie discussiuni between that country and France. The King's Government must, therefore, daline to adult( his Majesty to hold a common lanzunge wills his Allies upon this occasion : and it is so necessary fur hi; Majesty, not to he supposed to par ticipate in a measure of this description, and calculated to pro duce such consequences, that his Government must equally re frain from advising his Majesty to direct, that any communica tion should be made to the Spanish Government, on the subject of its relations with france. His Majesty, ti•erff mutt limit hie exertions and goat etcer, to the enderiounrs of his .Minister at Madrid to allay the ferment which these communications must occasion, and to do all the good in his power. No. 7 Is a Dispatch from Mr. Secretary Canning to the Duke of Wellington, dated Foreign Office, Dec. 6,1822, stating, that M. de Villele bad taken several opportunities of expressing ro Sir Charles Stuart, his own earnest desire for the preservation of peace 1 and his wish to receive, not only the support but the ad vice of the Banish Guvernment, in his endeavours to preserve it. Mr. Canning adds " I have the King's commands to signify to your Grace His Majesty's pleasure, that your Grace should seek a conversation with M. de Vilkle ; and, after referring to his Excellency's coin munisaiions through Sir Charles Stuart, should offer to that Mi nister the mediation of his Majesty, between their Most Chris tian and Catholic Majesties." This Letter. iecloses an extract of a dispatch from M. San Miguel, blininer foe Foreign Affairs at Madrid, to Al. de Co lo:sib, dated November 15, 1822, in which he says he has re ceieed with tracheae, but without surprise, a verbal cOmmunt - cation, Hating that the British Government is determined-not . to interfeie in the domestic affairs of Spain ; he only wonders that a declaration of such obvious justice has not the soletinity which it. deserves. Th e Spanish Minister inthr.ates that Spain was entitled - n:1 e xpect ." something more than simple and ab stract justice ; something more than a passive respect for uni versal laws, than a cold and insensible neutrality." Nos. 8. and 9.. are a Letter from the Duke of Wellington, dated Paris, Dec. 9, 1822, announcing to Mr. Canning that the dispatches of the three Allied Powers to Midrid are suspended ; and Mr. Caanimes answer, dated December 13, stating that it is highly maferialaor the clear and perfect discharge of the duty , of the British Govertrzet:t, in a question so deeply affecting the interests not only of the Powers immediately concerned, bet of the world, that his Grace should not leave Paris, without hav ing placed in the hands of the French Government the eventual offer of his Majesty's mediation. No. 10 is a Dispatch from the Duke of Wellington to Mr. Canning, dated Path, December 17, 1822, incloeint a N o t e ad dressed by his Grate to M. de Montmorency. This Note ex presses how rejoiced his Grace was at the delay which had been ioterposed to the transmission of these dispatches to Madrid, from the three Allied Powers. and at the determination of the French Government to re.eonsider a measure which the British Government had so anxiously deprecated. It add:, that as the. issue of the reference to Verona was still doubtf u l, if t h e answer to that reference should not be such as to preclude all danger of hostilities, his Majesty would he ready to accept the office of Me diator between the French and Spanish Governments; and to employ his most strenuous endeavours for the adjustment of their differences, and fOr the preservation of the peace M the world. No. 11 is a Note from the Duke of Montmorency to the Duke of Wellington, dated l'aris the 20th December, 1892, stating that his Most Christian Majesty "has appreciated the sentiments which have induced the King of England to offer his mediation to his Majesty, in order to prevent a rupture between hips and the Spanish Government • But his Majr sty. could not but feel that the situation of France, with regard to Spain, was not of a nature to call for a mediation between the two Courts. In fact, there exists no difference between them, no specific point of dis cussion, by the arrangement of which their relations might b e placed on the footing on which they ought to stand. Spain, by the nature of her Revolution, and by the circumstances with which it has been attended, has excited the apprehensions of se veral great Powers. England rarticipated in these apprehen sions; for even in the Year 1820, she foresaw cases, in which it Would be impossible to, preserve with Sp..in relations of peace, and good understanding. ' The Note then states that his Most Christian Majesty cannot accept " the mediation his Britannic Majesty has been pleased to propose to him." NO. 12.—. ME. SECRETARY CANNING TO THE VICOMTE DE MANCELLUS. • (Rxtract.) Foreign Office. January 10, 1823. The King has seen with pleasure, that his Most Christian Ma jesty does justice to the sentiments which dictated the offer of his Majesty's mediation : and although the view which is taken in M. de blontmorency's Note, of the nature of the differences between the French and Spanish Governments, has induced his Most Christian Majesty to decline that mediation, the Kingn iii not the less anxiously employ, in every way that is yet open to him ; those" conciliatory dispositions" for which his Most Chris tian Majesty gives him credit, to bring about a state of things less menacing to the peace of Europe, than that which is exhi bited in the present position of those two Governments towards each other. The British Cabinet had not to learn how fearfully the tran quillity of all Europe must be affected by the hostile collision of France and Spain. Accordingly, in the Duke of Wellington's Note, the " adjustment' of the supposed 16 differences between the - Premix and Spanish Governments," was stated as autillary to " the preservation of the peace of the world." But the British Cabinet certainly did not understand the questions brought foiward at Verona, by the Plenipotentiary of his Most Christian Majesty, with respect to the actual situation and pos sible conduct of Spain, to be qwstions in which the concert of France was so Hutt distinguishable from that of other Powers, as the Duke de Montmorency's Note repieseuts it. The Plenipotentiary of the King of France solicited front his Most Christian Majesty's Allies a declaration—(Here the three questions propounded in the enclosure of No. 3 are repeated). France, therefore, originated the discussions upon !Spanish af fairs at Verona; and the answers of the three Continental Mem bers of the Alliance were addressed to the cases supposed, and to the support demanded, by France. 1 • la common with the three Continental Powers, the Pientpo teutiary of hi Majesty considered the question of peace or war . . P F. '• - T -; ir with Spain, as a question *idle* French.' In his answer (given iskihnuitaneosualy with those,of the three Continental Powers) to the queries of the French Plenipotentiary, and in all the dleetwalons which followed thereepon, she 'Duke of Wellin.g ton. ormly alleged, as one of his reasons fee sot alaratinvo the ~skims of M. de Moritmoresey, the iedaseaweer of the British Govertiment as to the atstecideut kohl tosu. niunicatioos (during the last two m olt (loved meats of France and Spain.

It com mences by observing that the Cabinet of his Britannic Majesty would fall into a serious error, if it imagined that Fr..l:ce had represented to the Congress at Verona the question of Spain, as having for her an interest entirely. separate trona that of the Al lied Powers; on the contrary, he sayi ". Fraser, ei:,cr th e transactions of Aix-la-Chapelle, is closely United witisshe Courts, who, by their efforts, have re-established peace upon the Con tinent," and that the Sovereigns at Verona were of opinion (in which the French Government coincided), that there was immi nent danger to society, in that military anarchy in Spain, i.s which those principles were put forth anew, which, durnig thirty years, had occasioned the misfortunes nt Europe. Tuts dispatch is of great length, but of little importance. The only poi's!, of interest in M. Chateaubrianti's letti.r will be seen from the reply of Mr. Canning. NO. 11.--4111. SECRETARY CANNING TO SIR CHARLZI STUART. Foreign (Ace, January 23, 1823% SlR—Shortly after I had dispatched the messenger yesterday, M. de Marailus delivered to me the othcial Answer of Al. de Chateaubriand to the Note addressed by me to M. de AlarcelLs on the loth instant. Upon a first consideration, I am by no means sure that it will be necessary to reply officially to this Note of fil. de Chateau briand ; since it in effect admits all the material proposition, of the Note to which it is an answer. . • The questions brought forward by France at Verona are as. knowledged to have beed French questions, in the sense in Which they are in my Note described to have been such ; that is to say, the interest of France-is stated in those questions not as thict from the interest of Europe bat as snore inunealiate-: .iost it is not denied that the refusal Of his Majesty's Plenipotentiary to concur in the decisions of Verona, was founded on the omis sion by France to substantiate any specific ground of complaint against the Spanish Gtniernment. In the subsequent part of M. de - Chateaobriand's Note, while the assertion of my Note of the 10th instanz 7 ,that (treat Hro z i a had in 1620 declined anticipating hypothetical cases in which it might be impossible to remain at peaCe with Spain—is disputzd; the only two cases which are cited in exception to that assertion., are cases wholly independent of the principle of interference in the internal concerns ot other nations. It is averred, that we admitted the necessity of war against Spain ; first, if Spain herself should be guilty of aggression against other States, and secondly and specifically, if she shnied atteual•t to possess herselt of Portugal. Unquestionab4, with respect to either of those cases, Great Britain would admit, not only prospectively and hypothetically, and as to Spain, but positively and directly as to any ruwen whatever, that aggression against any of its neighboors would justify war; and that aggression against Portugal. would impose upon Great -Britain the duty of protecting her :dig. - But these admissions leave the question as to the right of ir s .. terfere,tee in the affairs of Spain, w erre it wit. Wi:h respect to that part of Al. de CLateaubriaticrsNote whit\ d:-scribes the nature of the demands intended to be madir-liy France upon Spain, and takes credit for the moderation of AM; your Excellency will not fail to observe that our difference * f i b Prance and the Allies throughout, is not as to the arningeinekte which it might be desirable to obtain from Spain, bat as to IL! principle on wliich France and the Allies propose to require theft.
