PARIS, JANUARY M.. • FROM THE CON3TITUTIONNEL. • It is generally . asserted, that England offered to guarantee to prance, that no attack on its internal regulation% on the part of Spain, would be suffered by the British Cabinet. It may, perhaps, be an swered, dear 'the three absolute Governments which form the Holy Alliance, had other views; but it seems extraordinary to us, that the Royalist. Minis ters, who seemed, above all, instigated by the love they bear to the family of the Bourbons, should range themselves with powers which have recognized all the revolutionary Governments of France, and that they desire to separate themselves from the only king— dom which would never recognize any one of them; that they make common cause with the countries in v.hich Verona, Warsaw, and Mittau ate situated, and that they even refuse the mediation of that one willed). contains Hartwell and Edinburgh. The Spaniards are going in crowds to the Spanish Embassy to get their passports. Among 'them were remarked MM. Labrador, formerly Plenipotentiary of the King of Spain to the. Congress of Verona ; the Marquis of Casa.lrujo, Minister . Plenipotentiary from Spain prier to July 7 ; the Prince of Masserano, wbo held a diplomatic situation daring the occupation of the Peninsola by the Prencfi; the Chevalier de Los Rios, brother of the deceased Duke of Fernan Nunez, prior to Jannary 4 1820; Mai tinez, Chief Physician to Ferdinand VII. Marqueti, an Octogenarian, who has inhabited Paris sincel79l and the Count de Tot reno. It is repeated as cettain that the Duke of Angon leme will set out on February 14th, to take the com mand in chief of the Army of the Pyrenees. In less than a fortnight the price of sugar has risen at Paris to 25 sous the pound. FROM TUE COURIER FRANCAIS. MADRID, JANUARY 2.1.-(I3Y EXPRESS.) Before three months our frontier places will be in a complete state of defence ; we shall have a reserve of 100,000 muskets; we shall also have at sea 31 vessels of war to defend our coasts; 50,000 uniforms, which have already been begun, will be in a state of teadiness for the army. The force of the army, at that epoch, will amount to 180,000 men ; 52 large' bands of Guerillas will be organised, and an infinity of others, if necessary. Such is the state which we can affirm Spain will be in at the month of April next ; a state which will enable us at the same time to resist every kind of attack, if, as we doubt not, the command of the armies of the frontiers is confided (our intention is to attack no one) to persons as skil fhl as General Mina. Besides the measures above mentioned, which are common to all nations, we have tie sanctity of our cause, the knowledge that the war of independence has given us of the ground on which we must fight, of the positions we must defend, of the points that we must occupy or abandon—we have above all, on our side, honour, the heavens, and the mountains. Our enemies will ruin our temples, lay waste the country,. depopulate the villages, but never triumph over the Spaniards. There are many points on the Pei.insula that it is impossible to take, even when, which will never happen, they should be feebly de. feuded. It is from those spots that the ardour of the troops will be cherished, and that ammunition will be sent to the armies and the Guerillas. _ _ la fine, we will say to the nations that would de clare war against Spain, that however favourable may be for then) the chances of the war, the present gene ration assuredly will not see the end of it, and every body knows that long wars always finish to the advan tage of the people who defend their independence.

Two leading Mc or= bers.in the Cabinet,. Ur, Put and Mr. Roamoi, in addition to their aoksickw 'edged talents, and rep spectable private character, will carry with them an inestimable benefit. to their party, that of Ding young mett,'ind. totally , nnslinekled - by any previously pledged declarations,Ainding them to any specittl line of codticr on this or' that question of foreign policy...; and pescha,pathey api eqtn4ly . unfettered on most of' thelnatthms of domestic- policy that are likely arise: With Ont meaning to assert that a Minister would Wilfsilly act in opposition to the inte rests of his country for the sake of .consistency, we are, nevertheless, well aware that the shame of acknowledging former errors acts fatally in sealing a man's eyes against the light of truth. While their Opponents lose no opportunity of thriming in their teeth, as matter of reproach, any necessity deviation from a former opinion, we confess that our veteran Statesmen do, at times, stand in a most unenviable predicament. Another advantage, which will probably accrue from the accession of the two Gentlemen alluded to, is, that they can, undoubtedly, if necessary, conciliate the alliance of the more moderate opponents of their senior colleagues. Of the still more im portant change in the Cabinet since the last Sez. sion, the accession of Mr. CANNING, we have more than once expressed our opinion; and to this change we are indebted for the firmness with which our Government has resisted the views of the Holy Alliance, views into which it was at one time much to be feared this country would have been' dragged. • The KING'S Speech will be read by Conimission, and it is expected that some Member in the House of CoMmons will move an Amendment to the Address, pledging this country to a more decided support of, Spain and the Greeks. Mr. CANNING baying vacated hid seat for Liverpool, by accepting the office of Secre tary of State,will not be in the House to-morrow, as he must wait until a new writ is issued for his election for some Borough. We have received die French Papers of Thursday 1 and Friday, from which extracts will be found in our preceding columns. They still continue to give •act counts of military movements, and the Moniteur has issued a List of the Generals appointed by the KING to command in the Army of. Spain, under the Dike of Armout.Ezia. Who is to have the charge off' the Prince himself is not stated, nor is it of much corm quenoe, as there is little doubt that he will keep out of harm's way. This list of Generals appointed by LOUIS XVIII, must excite some surprise, from the circumstance of his having so carefully selected "men of. whom the world never before heard, with the exception, per r haps, of Generals CANUIti, Mouroa, and LA Roma JAQUELIII, a branch of that chivalrous family which 'was so much distinguished in'the war of La Vehdee. There is also a Prince of Hphenlohe;a brother, we presume, of the miraclomonger, whine exploits in „curing diseases form so popular a theme of Ro. .

Not one of the Marshals of France has an appoint ment in this crusading army, though many of them,. and in particular SoULT and SUCIIET, by their know ledge of the country, as well as by their military talents, must have possessed great advantages on' such a duty. Not one of those Generals who distin guished themselves in the wars of France, and made her. name respected everywhere, has been deemed worthy of a command; the consequence of which must be, that the natural disaffection which the French soldiers are known to have at fighting in such a cause, will be increased by their having nothing but . furious Ultras and inexperienced petit mitres for Generals. But we perhaps ought not to blame Lows XVIII. for as he is evidently under a much greater restraint than his brother Bourbon of Spain, whom he pre tends to liberate, and has been forced to a half dy claration of war against Spain against his will, it was scarcely likely that he would be left to tlie,free choice of his agents, which are decidedly of Ultra selectiOn. It is said, also, that several -of the Marshals of France have refused commands in this army; and though soldiers are seldom very particular as to the cause in which they fight, yet what Marshal of France would hazard the laurels of twenty campaigns, in ac cepting a command in a cause decidedly unpopular, and that, too, under such a thing as the Duc D'ANGOU• 1. RAI E ? The Marshals who are said to have thus refused are ; MACDONA LD, a brave and honourable man, and One of the most sincere friends of the BOURBONS ; MARXIONT, who betrayed one master, which has ever since rendered him odious, and whose very name has . become a term of reproach; and °mem One of the papers states, that VICTOR has accepted. a cam- . mend in the. Army, but this is by no means certain. But notwithstanding all the gasconade in the French Papers, the military preparations in France are not 'at all commensurate with the magnitude of the under taking, which induces a belief, very prevalent in Pasts, that war may yet be avoided. Some of the French Journalists feel highly indig nant at a letter written by General O'Donszt, expos ing some intrigues going on at Madtisl,, for the pur-. pose of making . the French Charter .the COnstitutiOn] of Spain. The obnoxious paragraph is as. " 41 A person arriving front. Madrid, and well lic,cre. dited, has related to General ('DONNE'. the4iitrigues and plots which are on foot to compel the King of- SPAIN to accept the Charter--that is to say, to !wal low hemlock instead' of arsentt. "Thest - intripint, directed by the Count de Pio:3A not, have their source in the Cabinet of the Tuilleries." I The Etoile remarks on this subject, that . "-dr. Fiench will pass the Bidassoa only for the purpose Of reinstating the descendant of Louis XIV. on the throne of his ancestors. A Bourbon recognizes rho Iright of intervention between a free King and his sub jects. It kto the title of the liberator, and not the lawgiver of Spain that he aspires." The Jturnal des Debtits says, the word of the KING, that he wishes FERDINAND to be' free to give his people institutions, is a sufficient refutation of the charge • in O'DoNNEL's letter, which further states that "Ferdinand declares with firmness that he does not wish it (the Charter), and that if it should happen that he accepts it, he may be considered to be as much under constraint as he was on the7th of March, 1820, when he swore to the Constitution of Cadiz." On this passage, the Jortrna 1 des Debats . asserts, that FERDINAND never made such a declaration, and that he only wishes for liberty, in order to give it to his people. Goo preserve France and Spain from such liberty as the Bourbons would give. They have already been tried—been weighed in the balance, and found wanting; and after the experience that has been had of their wishes and dispositions, it would be madness to trust-them. • Trance has a sad Suspicion that . England will take the part of Spain ; and this suspicion has been agood deal strengthened by two or three circum s tances which are thus strung together in the Constitutionnel : " It was remarked at the opening of the chambers, that the English Ambassador and the Hanoverianl Minister were not present in they diplomatic tribune, and therefore did not officially take apart in:the ce. rernony ; it is said, however/ lhat SarehiyilerStuan was observed in the crowd.dressed as a private per... son. Neither were, any of tie. individuals attached to the English githassy . ieeh in the tribune :which is appropriated to the. Socretaries..of the Foreign A bassaders. This brings to our rteCollettionithotber eircum . stance, namely, that the English Ambassador at Ma drid, accompanied by his principal Secretaries, was present at the Sitting of the Cones on the 9th of this month, when the Spanish Government communicated' to the Deputies the answers which it had made tae the Notes on the Holy Alliance.. 4, Th e English Ambassador flisteFlay en, a numerous and' brilliant pink.; .thel, was the Duke de SAK.
