If there were no other means of ascertaining the motives for the intended invasion of Spain, than those which can be obtained from the decla rations of the French Government, and of indi- Irl dual Members of the French Ministry, it would be i mpossible, even yet, to determine with any certainty the real causes of the hostile attitude assumedby F rance, or the real objects for which has undertake n to plunge into an ill-omened War. Never were rear weakness, irresolution, and inconsistency,:aaie,lialiiiibly betrayed; not. withstanding the affectation of candour and mag nanimity with which the French War Party acknowledge and attempt to justify the warlike preparations which they are making on the Spanish frontier !—A brief retrospect gill at once prove their insincerity, and expose the ill concealed dismay which hangs over them in the crisis which their own tortuous policy has created: At the first, the assembly of an armed force on the Southern frontier was effected under the pretext of guarding against the introduction into France of that real pestilence with which Spain was unhappily visited ; and the appella tion of Sanitary Gordon was given to a line of French troops, whose office was not so much the preservation of the public health in France, as the excitement of political convulsions in Spain, in addition to the epidemic scourge with which her population was already - afflicted ! When the hand of Providence at length checked the depopulating malady which had served as a pre. text (a pretext most unworthy of a great nation) for assembling a French army on the Pyrenees, France was compelled either to withdraw her - troops, or to make a partial disclosure of her de. signs by continuing them in their cantonments under a new designation ; and the title of Army of Observation, which was substituted for that of Sanitary Cordon, at once unmasked the hypo crisy with which it had been formed, and indicated the hatred towards Spain which loured from its standards. Still, there will no open and undisguised avowal of hostility towards the Go vernment of Spain or its Constitution. Rebellion was actively organizing in the Spanish provinces; and France seemed to cherish the hope that that might be effected by domestic treason, which she so ardently desired, but which she hesitated to attempt by foreign force. The successful opera tions of the Constitutional G eneral Alisa, and the expulsion from the Spanish territory of the shattered and miserable remnants of the insur rectionary bands ycleped the Army of the Faith, driven headlong within the French frontier by the heroism of the national troops, annihilated the perfidious hopes of France, established the triumph of Spain over her internal enemies, and ,gave the pledge of her speedy restoration to tranquillity, and of her secure enjoyment of that liberty and repose which she had twice purchased with her blood. At this moment,—unfortunately for Spain,--the meeting of the Congress of Verona furnished France with an opportunity for seeking encouragement and assistance from the assembled Powers Of Europe, or, if she was nothing more than the instrument of a great .4orthern Potentate of receiving her instructions, for the commencement of that war of aggres sion, which she still dreaded to undertake on her own responsibility and at her own risk ! At that very moment, too, let it never be for. gotten, her First Minister has declared, in his last address to the Deputies of France, he was desirous ofremaining at peace, and, while he was asking leave to attack Spain at Verona, would have the world to believe that he was doing every thing in his power to avert zoar at Paris and Madrid ! Then ap peared the Verona Circular, and the famous Note of M. de VILLELE to the Count de Laomtnr, in which France is made to complain, nut of the institutions of the Spaniards,—not of the captivity of their King,—not of the Spanish Cortes or of the Spanish Ministry,—but of the commotions which existed in the Spanish provinces, and which commotions (represented as the only subject of complaint), were alleged to compro mise the-interests of France! Then followed the Speech of the King of FRANCE, on the opening of the Session of the Chambers, in which his MAJESTY, fur the first time announcine the reso solution to enter into a war, says nothing of the commotions which had formed the previous pre text for hostility, but unequivocally avows that a hundred thousand Frenchmen are about to march, in order that the King of SPAIN may be enabled to give to his people institutions, which they can not hold but from him! Subsequently, ho wever, the motive for the war appears to be neither the resto ration of Spain to tranquillity, nor the restoration of her Sovereign to his ancient authority, but the apprehension, that, if France did not avenge the insults which the Spanish Ministry had offered to Russia, Austria, and Prussia, the armies of those Powers would be marched through France for the purpose of inflicting vengeance upon the Spaniards themselves ; and M. ne VII.LELE proclaimed to the French Legislature, that they were forced to encounter war and to seek danger in the South,.because he feared that there was no other means Of escaping still greater danger from the North !!! To crown these in consistencies,—these evidences of irresolution, — these proofs of bad faith as well as of hesitation and of doubt, we have now, in our present Pager, the Speech of M. de VILLELE to the Deputies,on lift proposition for granting the War-supplies, and in which that Minister with one breath assigns two 'different motives: for the war, inconsistent with each other, and with the previous, declar ations-of himself, his Colleagues, and his Sove reign, -,--the one, that France makes War pr the sake of her own security, her honour, and interests,—the other, that France only presents herself in arms in the Peninsula, for the sake of Spain hersey; and of maintaining the authori ty of her legitimate Sovereign ! ! !

The Conscreateur Imperiale contains a long article, shewing the point of view in which the Spanish Revolution was considered at Verona by Russia, Au - stria and Prussia, and the impossibillity which these Powers believed to exist with regard to maintaining diplomatic relations with the ,actual Government of the Peninsula.--[lfere follows a Dispatch of Count NESELRODE to Count BELGARI, dated Verona, 28th January.] VIENNA, FEE. 12.—( Extract from a Private Letter.) — Every thing tends to induce the belief that Austria will confine herself to the suspension of her diplomatic relations with Spain, and that her commercial intercourse will nut be interrupted. If Austria, at the Congress of Verona, appeared to depart for a mornelit from the desire to maintain peace, it was because it was urgent to divert Russia from an attack on the East of Eu roPe, which she has long contemplated. In giving a kind of tacit consent to a,war in the West, she as a consequence en gaged Russia to renounce the idea of a rupture with the Porte. This pacific system explains the frequent "exchange of couriers between Vienna and London.—(Consiitirtioutra.) IFRONI CORRESPONDENT.] STOCK ExcnANG F, .If Twelve &Clock.— Most parties are busy this morning in settling the differences of their accounts, in consequencei of which there has been but little doing in the Market up to this hour.

NEW rNVENTION. flow-STfttr.T.----Yeaterdity Mr. Claticey,• the landlord of the Robin Hood public-house in Holborn, applied to Mr. Muesimee the Sitting Alagistrate to issue a warrant, or some other process, against two persons who he said had de frauded him and his brother-in-law of 2001. by false pretences. About 14 months ago one of the parties against whom he complained, (he did not mention his name), and who was an engineer, applied to him and his brother-in-law, stating that he' had, after much profound study and some years of labour, in vented a machine which would completely supersede the use of steam in all cases where a propelling power was required. It would be equally effective in manufactories, in vessels by water, and even carriages by land ; end, in short, would possess all th e powers of steam without any of the ea pence and danger attend ing the working of steam-engines. He had, he said, obtained a patent for it ; and money only was wanting to bring into full and general operation an invention which would as t onish th e world. He requested Mr. Clancey and his brother-in-law to purchase a sixteenth share, which he said would amount to 20W. Mr. Clanccy, however, dill not like to part with so considerable a sum without a little more minute inquiry, and proposed that Mr. Galloway the engineer, in llolborn t shemld examit4 the invention • ' and if he should be of opinion th a t it wou ld answer, he (Mr. C.) would have no objection to purchase a sin teenth. "-0 dear no," said theingemous inventor,'. that will never do; for Mr. Galloway is a finished engineer, and mon.- over, he is a rich man, and if he saw the invention he would im mediately construct a similar machine, and we should lose ail the benefit of it." Mr. Clancey still objected, and the engtheer then said if the money was advanced he w ou ld give Mr. C. arid his brother a bill for the amount accepted by a respectable trades man, as a collateral security for the repayment, if the design should not answer. The bill was to he dated at twelve month A , and an agreement drawn up in which it should be stipulated that Mr. Clancey and his brother should at any time within that period make their election, either to continue their share in the invention or to sue for the amount of the bill. Upon these conditions the two hundred pounds were advanced, anti Mr. Clancey's brother-in-l aw rece i ve d t h e bi ll. This beame due at Christmas last, and the machine never having been brought into action. Mr. Clancey expected to receive payment:of the 2001., but no money was forthcoming ; toad: when he applied to the acceptor of the bill upon the subject, the latter snapped his fingers in his face laughed at him, ar.d said, " ant going into the Fleet, and face, will • pay you thete:" Mr. Galloway had subsequently examined the machine, and declared it. to be all a fallacy—a mere trick to mise the wind. Mr. Mt ?nun Le said, it was clear that a gross deception had been practised; but it was not a case within the jurisdiction a Magistrate. Hls only remedy was by action, and tithed better consult some respectable Solicitor. On Tuesday last the State Lottery was drawn,' when •No. 1,467, a Prize of 10,0001.
