THE BRITISH LON DON, • MONDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1822. The extrapts from the Afoniieur which we subjoin are of the highest importance. The Duke de MON T MORENC Y is no longer a Member of the Cabinet, and M. VlLLtut has addressed a long note to the French Minister at Madrid, explanatory of the relations and views of the French Government. Its character is decidedly pacific. The plain English of it is—" The French Government has always viewed with sincere hostility the Spanish Revolution ; it has received assurance of a similar feeling of hostility from Russia, Austria, and Prussia; but it holds it prudent to ab stain from open war, and therefore requests the Spanish dovernment to modify the Constitution; and threatens, if it should hereafter appear necessary, to withdraw its Representative from Madrid."— The removal of the Duke de MONTMORENCY is sufficient commentary upon the diplomatic note. The scepticism and reasoning of the Courier respect ing the Duke's removal are exceedingly characteristic of that sagacious Journalist, and must confirm the confidence of his friends in his keen discernment and modest caution. [From the Cootstitutionnel of December 16 and 17.31 PARIS, DECEMBER 26. It appears that we have reached at length the ministerial crisis that we announced in our number of the Istb. It was, in fact, Impossible that our political situation could exist longer in that wary* uncertainty which oonstrained all re , !aliens, paralyzed all capital, restrained tbe ebbe* of indus try and commerce, and left no prospect to the nation but the melancholy chances ors war commenced against its roil in terests. It is:announced this morning, as a positive fact, that the 'Duke Mathieu de Montmoreocy has presented his resigna tion as Minister for Foreign Affairs, and that it has been ac cepted: they add, that the King has conferred on him the •place of p r aad Huntsman. 'The report is,tlsat Monsieur de Chateaubriand,!Ambassador to London; bas received the portefreilk for Foreign Affkirs; but on this point there Is nothing positive: they speak also of the restoration of several other Ministers, and it strikes us as eltremely probable. We have not as yet, on these important. facts, data sufficiently positirete commonicale to our readers: if this evening, before our Journal goes to press, any other information reaches us, we shall not fail to apprise them of it. The retirement OM. Dolarau, Prefect of Police, is also an nounced, and his helng'replaced by M.

From the Movaiterr.] PAILIS, FRIDAY, DECtIiBIR 27. We hasten to lay before the public the first authentic document which it has been possible to communicate to it since the meeting of she Congress. So many interests are connected with the determi nation made by the several Cabinets on this great question, that it is fitting to make them known the moment that they are definitely resolved upon. THE PRESIDENT or THE COUNCIL 07 ItiniTAIMI CMAAGED AD INTERIM WITH THE VOIRTIL•PEUILARI GIP AORKIGN AFFAIRS TO M. THE COUNT DI zal GARDE, M.INIBTP,R OF THE KING AT MADRID. " M. le Comte—Your political situation being changed, in consequence of the resolutions taken at Verona, it is becoming the French sincerity to charge you to acquaint the Government of his Catholic Ma jesty with the dispositions of the Government of his Most Christian Majesty. Since the revolution which took place in Spain in the mouth of April, 1820, France, notwithstanding the dangers with which this molution threatened her, has used all her efforts to strengthen the ties which unite the two Kings, and to maintain the relations which existed between the two nations. " But the influence under which the changes were operated which have taken place in the Spawiebilleb narchy, is become more powerful by the very results of these chimps, as it was easy to foresee. " A constitution which King Ferdinand had neither recognised nor accepted when he resumed the crown, was afterwards imposed upon hini.by a military insur rection. The natural consequence of this fact has been, that every discontented Spaniard has thought himself authorised to seek by the same means the esta blishment of an order of things more in unison with his opinions and his principles. The employment eal force has established the right of force. " thence the movements of the guard at Madrid, bind the appearance of armed corps in different parts of Spain. The provinces bordering on France have chiefly been the theatre of civil war. This stato of confusion in the Peninsula has- placed France under the necessity of putting herself in a state of security. The events which have taken place since the esta blishment of an Army of Observation at the foot of the Pyrenees have sufficiently justified the precau tions of his Majesty's Government. Meantime the Congress announced last year to determine on the affairs of Italy, met at Verona. " France, as an integral part of this Congress, h of course to explain the reason of the armamentoto which she had been forced to have recourse, and ja the eventual use she might make of them. The prit. cautions of France have appeared just to her allies, and the Continental Powers have taken -the resolution to unite with her, to aid her (if it should ever become ne cessary) to maintain her dignity and her repose. " France would have been contented with a reso- lution at once so kind and so honourable to her, by. Austria, Russia, and Prussia, have judged it necessary to add to the particular act of the Alljauce a nianifee. cation of these sentiments. Diplomatic notes 04, with this view, addre sted by these three Powers Iss their respective Ministers at Madrid, who will cow' tpunicate them to the Spanish Government, and sirsil follow in their further conduct the orders theyelealt have received from their Courts. " As for you, M. le Comte, in giving these expla nations to the Cabinet of Madrid, you will say to it, that the Government of the King is intimately united with its Allies in the firm resolution W repel by every means revolutionary movements and principles:; that it is equally united with its Allies in the wishes which they form, thlit the noble Spanish nation may find within itself a remedy for its evils, which are calcu lated to alarm the Governments of Europe, and oblige it (them) to take precautions , that are always painful. " You will above all take care to declare', that the people of the Peninsula, when resolved to tranquil lity, will find in their neighbours true and sincere friends. In consequence, you will give ukase Cabinet of Madrid the assurance, that assistance °flail kitids, which France can afford to Spain shall be always of fered to it, to ensure its happiness and tolnerease its prosperity : but you will declare at the same time, that France will not relax in any point the mea sures of preservation which she has taken, so long as Spain shall continue to be torn by faCtions,— The Government.of,his Majesty will net even hesitate to recal you from Madrid, and to seek its guarantees in more efficacious measures if its essential intrests continue to be compromised, and if it loses the hope of an amelioration which it takes pleasure in expect ing from the sentiments which have so king unite!! the Spaniards and the French on the love of their Kings end of a wise liberty. " Such, 51.1 e Comte, are the instruclions.whiCkthe . •i • , " I kk .t• .'‘ transmit to you at the the Cabinets of Vienna, Berlin, it,g , ;to be delivered to th; t ai instructions will serve you to r ri to and the determination of the this important occasion.

We find by the indictment against the Publish'," of the Liberal, that the Bridge-street Gang here" confined their charge of libel to the " seditious" Os, sages,—that is to sey, to the passages respecting the character of the late King and his reign. As we - knew before the indictment was legally drawn up. it wee their intention to make also a charge of blestkwawf, it is clear that they abandoned the latter upon *eta mature consideration. Whether the motive walLtaill weakness of the ground, or a tenderness towards' Mr. SOUTHEY, we cannot . say. If the latter, 116 must remind them, that the omission of the chitty by no means saves the Poet Laureate and Ex-Jacobite from a public discussion of his precious farrago of base and servile flattery. Indeed, the gross adulesion of GEORGE the Third; and the rancorous abuse of that Monarch's adversaries, are by far the most oilba sive features of the loyal " Vision of Judgweetso-- Mr. Sowritgr's dealing out of divine award* is more ridiculous than any thing else; but his mode of des-‘ fying a weak and mischievous Monarch at the expense of truth anal patriotism, was extremely provocative of that sort of contradiction and exposure which is infect the object of Lord BYRON'S " Vision." The Nohle Lord himself explains to this effect the feeling which prompted him to write his satire, in that preface which Mr. Pal %IMLAY the bookseller contrived to with hold from the first edition of the Liberal. It will. however, appear in a day or two in a second edifies: and the public will admire the pithy and forcible man ner in which the Author had anticipated the objections which have been made to the Poem. The intenticii and scope of the " Vision" are indeed so clew' y pointed out in the preface, that had not one Mr MURRAY perpetrated the suppression, we exceet: ingly doubt whether the other Mr. Menial' cou , i. have had the assurance (which is saying much) have preferred the indictment. The reader me) , part judge of this from the following passage in the fort► coming preface tr— " If there is any thing obnoxious to the political opinio"- ot a portion of the public in the following poem, they m.. thank Mr. SOOTIIaY. He might have written bexamelers, .., be has written every thing - else, for aught that, the writ.. cared—had they been upon another subject.
