They added, that the very same danger would undoubtedly me nace, in the long run, the whole of Italy, the Low Countries, and some of the small states of Germany, cnd at a still later period, perhaps, even the more considerable states of the same country, in which liberal principles appear to have a great number of partisans in all classes, and principally its those that are most enlightened, The picture of these possibilities has prtx'tt very lively impression upon the minds of the bets; of the Congresa.• However, they Mac among them to discover that a mute iunMadiatt general danger might result from An open aion—fhey have said, that peace. after so h es that was finisbsd in 1815, was. too • ',reel blessing to be compromised It' violent - m*9a - against a iv* which, moreover, has the rit ! ltt to ameliorate its condition, so long as it dyes i4meinter lere with the affairs of other naticas, and us it pre serves the monarchical principle; that the chances of war are always uncertain; that if the Spaniards were to succeed against a fiireign army, the fears which a propagation of the principles ut the Spanish constitution inspires to-day, would then be much greater and better founded—in short, that prudence suggested, that every thing should be left in 310114 . gill, and that we should look fi,r the changes which . the Sovereigns desired, from the Spahiards thtpu selves. The French diplomatists have, it is said, persisted in endeavouring to destroy these objections in the last sitting ; they have confined their efforts in it to, obtainincshis decision in their favour—that, every Power hiving theintlisputable 'fight to make war against any other when it thinks it has just and im perative reasons for so doing, France may employ that right against Spain it' she thinks proper, but the its such case the other tiowers should be bound in honour to remain neutral. Thus, if war were to take place, it would be a set uggle haiid to hand between Franca and Sdain. Inter any other circumstances, and for a ditlerent the resources of France without a doubt are superior to the resources of Spain; but it' France bad to combat with the nation and constitutional armies merely, the recollection would naturally rest upon the disastrous war which Butmaparte made Against that,kiuntry, and the extreme bravery of the • tad' Frain ttYllr*Jult‘tiol entirely perhaps restore confidence.
