FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PAIII9, JAN. I.—Mmiday evening the .King transacted businesi with Count Corbiere. _ _ On the 24th ultimo M. Juarez, a relation of the - , Spanish Minister San Miguel, passed through Bayonne on his way to Paris. It is said that he comes on an important mission to the French • Government. A. courier dispatched by Mr. Rothschild from Madrid, has been robbed by a banditti at Arret chaballeta, in Guipuscon, and obliged to return to Bayonne. The courier who left Bayonne on the 20th for Spain was also stopped, and his dis patches burnt. Two papers of opposite principles, the Ultra Elate and the Liberal Journal du Commerce, are under prosecution for a libel on the Royal dig. nity of the King of France, translated from the Spanish paper called the Indicator. The Journal du commerce copied the article from the Etoile. Tpnits, Dec. 23.—Count Alexander de Salmes, ' Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten tiary from the King of Sardinia to the Imperial Court of St. Petersburgh, has presented to the " Emperor Alexander a copy of his work, entitled the 44 Military History of Piedmont." The Noble Author has, in return, been honoured with the following letter from his Imperial Majesty :-- nave received, 11. le Count, the work you have offered to me. " You were not mistaken in believing that the Military His. tory of Piedmont would excite my utmost Attention ; few coun. tries have supplied more illustrious names to adorn the annali of war; and the Russian Armies, witnesses of the valour Of your soldiers, by baying fought under the banners of their an cient Monarchy, hare learnt alike to appreciate the merit of your officers,. numbers of whom have joined their ranks. " leongratulate myself onilnding an opportunity of render. ing to your work the justice it deserves, by now expressing the true esteem I entertain for its author. " ALEXANDER." Taterre, DEC. 16.. , --According to letters from Smyrna, which may be • relied on, the Captain Pacha was not on board the ship of the line which blew up. But according to the latest news, he was to be beheaded at Gallipoli, by order of the Sultan. A vessel arrived from Durazzo has brought in telligence that the fortress of Rolm) in Camila hits surrendered to the Greeks. Dec. 18.--A vessel from Cresme in sixteen days, has brought the following details. After the burning of the ship of the line- near Tenedos on the 10th of November, the Turkish fleet en. deavouretl to take refuge under the guns of the Dardanelles. But the Commander of the castle refused to allow them to enter because they were not provided with a Firman,* which is necessary. The Turkish Admiral made the most pressing solicitations in vain. While these things were going on, the Greek Captain Mniauly came up : to the Turkish fleet for the third time, and set fire on the night of Nov. 13.14 th, to a ship pf the line and two frigates. Sixteen vessels are said 'to have been destroyed in the 'confusion which ensued. The remainder of the fleet entered Gallipoli on the 18th, after having received the Firman required from Constantinople. This lIPWS seems to require confirmation.—(Journal der Dads.) OnEsaa, Disc. 8.--The extraordinary timidity of the Cap tains of vessels from Provence, who do not venture to navigate the Black Sea in the 'Amer, until those of other nations have 'Meg since ceased to regard the difference of the seasons, it is difficult to understand; but what is truly lamentable is, thak though the number of ships sent thither by the French mer chants is the least of all, they hOwever have the greatest num. ber of shipwrecks. A Turkish vessel, which has entirely Turkish property, enter ed the Danube some months ago to take in corn. The Turkish Captain was taken ill on his return to the Dardanelles and died.l 'the crew, consisting entirely of Greeks, alarmed at this event And dreading its consequences, resolved to take the ship, which ' • was in bad condition, to Odessa. The Russian Government immediately ordered the vessel to be repaired and put in the best condition (entirely at the expence of the Government), put another captain and a fresh crew on board---the former crew having refused to serve any longer, fearing they should be made answerable for the death of the Museulman ; the Russian Government then sent the ship to Constantinople; where it was delivered to the Porte, which doubtless appreciated so amicable a proceeding. BERLIN, DEc. 21.—The dutitutesehich are levied on the frontiers of the Prussian monarchy, 'affecting the possessions of several Germun Sovereign Princes, which are wholly surround ed by the Prussian territory, end his Majesty being disposed to pay into the coffers of the said Princes an indemnity for .the sums which he receives in consequence of this particular circumstance; a Convention has been agreed to for this purpose, by the Prince of Schwartzenburg Rodolstadt, who is to receive an annual sum, which is to he fixed every three years according to the average of the three p rece di ng years. Up 'to the 31st Decemb er , 1824, the sum le fixed at 45700 Prussian dollars in silver p er annum. ' In consequence of this there will be an entirely free intercourse between the re spective territories. A law-suit, which the town of Sulmierzyce has carried on under three reigns, for u considerable tract in the fittest of Adelnan, and which has lately been decided in its favour, is now entirely concluded by the Prince of Tour and Taxis hav ing declined to appeal, and fully ceded the tract in question to the town. NAPLEs, DEC. 6.—A Royal Decree, dated from Verona, almost entirely prohibits the importation of forcign corn. This Decree is a disadvantage to the merchants of the capit al, w h ere • the importation of foreign corn, especially of eats, from the north, lots latterly been very considerable ; hut it is a benefit tee the inhabitants of Apulia, who are involved in distress by •the extremely low prices of grain. An o th er R oya l D ecree ra i ses the duty on foreign Woke from the Ist of January, 1823. A volume in live. er smaller size, to pay three earlins, a , Ito. six earlitet, and A folio nine. Formerly only 2i per cent. was paid on iliteve:utt declared at the custom-house. 'This increase 1s so considerable that it nearly amounts to a prohibitioo. VigNNA, DEC. 20.—Uount Czernitaehelf, Russian Lieute nal-it-General, and Mr. Gordon, British Minister to this Court, oave both arriveithere from Verona. DEc. 21.—The news that M. Lebzeltern is at Constan tinople, is not confirmed. The Emperor Alexander has given the Grand Cross of Saint slntie, eat in brilliants, to. M. Gentz. It is said that M. dellatiecheff will go to Bucharest, and per . haps afterwards to Constantinople, in quality of Ambassador. "Note of .the Editor of.theekessrual der Diboll.

'21.--At the moment of the courier leaving Madrid the greatest tranquillity prevailed.—The Royal Chateau of Pardo is fit ting up, and the Journals inquire for whom ? Some say it is for the Duke of Wellington, and others for the Queen of Portugal, sister of Fer dinand VII. _ _ _ (-Extract of a Fr kale Lttter.) Attorttp, DEC. 9.4.—The invectives, the in. cults, aril the false matem en ts of the Ultra-Journ a 1..; of France,liave SC-Aredy excited the attention of our Journals, in which the sang (raid and firmness which charm:tulle the nation maybe constant . Ly recognized. The only Journal which hart appeared worthy of a'refutation is, the Jimmied*: DAM; as the organ of the more reasonable intrtclf:the Ifilidstri. The Especiador, of the 23d; and theiffiltirie4V the tititil;lienctii lit correcting the numerous errors (rerittliAtted, na donbt„ - with good faith) In the number of that Paper of Dec. 13. ,The Spanish 4ournalists are not astonished at the Cliluthnious rumours' circulating in France : they know that they are carried there by men, who, after having taken. arms against their country, must, no doubt, look upon it as a duty to abuse it. " What individual," tiays the Journal des Dave,'" is safe from imprisonment, and what prisoner is beyond, the reach of the fatal hammer ?" " We shall-uotstop," says the Expectador, " to contradict this calumny; we shall content ourselves with saying that the accused of the 7th July are yet to be tried. Even those of Cadiz have not yet been brought to trial. Where, then, is this furious haste with which we are reproached ?" " Do not soldiers revolt every day against their leaders ?" Where, then, are these revolters : No, the Spanish army knows that, without discipline, there is neither honour nor mi litary glory. Its triumphs are the most convincing proofs of Its discipline and obedience to its Chiefs. But perhaps the French Journalist would allude to the revolt of the Guards ? " Is not Zaldivar in Andalusia ?" The Ultra must provide another Royalist Chief in Andalu sia. They have invented in Gallicia a Joannis, of whom no one has ever heard speak. . " Jahne, near Murcia ?" • Is it poisible to speak of Jaime without blushing, in a poll. deal question ? Who, tlren f is ignorant that Jaime was a high. way robber and a brigand, outlawed under the absoltne regime as well as under liberty, under the Inquisition and the. Monks, is well as under the reign of the law and morals ? " And does all this come from foreigners ?" What then ? If with unexampled perfidy rebellion is excited and fomented in the frontier provinces of Spain, andthe malcon tents arc kept up by the hope of aid ; when, in consequence of these plots, the Spanish Government is obliged to assemble, in the provinces where the fire of sedition has shewn itself, those troops which are allotted to the duty of the other provinces, can jt be said that the insurrections in the interior are not the work of foreigners ? And besides, what are the chiefs to befound in the province of Santander ? Whence come they P Where does Car. villas go to sell his booty but to Jews of Sancti Spirits P " A true rage for Inquisitions, condemnations, ankproscrip dons, seems to have got potsesion of the Cortes since their establishment in 1820." We appeal from this to the amnesty granted to those who had followed the foreign King, and whom the humane absolute re. gime had banished from their country ; to that granted to the dissidents of America, of whom the greater number groaned in dungeons ; to the pardon granted to the Pews, whom the law then in force condemned to capital punishment:; to the amnesty granted to the factious of Salvatierra, and to so many others. It is a glory that cannot be refused to the Liberals called the Li'. bends of 1014, that they have only left their chains to break the chains of others, and protect their own enemies: May they not one day be reproached for having pushed this generosity too far ? " They proscribe those who have sent them to dor galleys arid those who have delivered them thence." Neither of these little coterie:, Of which the Journal des Mats speaks, has released the Liberals from the galleys.— Was even the alleviation of their fate ever thought of ? Many of those who had then power in their hands, and who now wish to be considered as more patriotic and more friendly to liberty than those who have exposed their life for it, ought to remem. ber this. " The Jorephinor arc condemned, though friends of the Con. stitutional Monarchy." The Jorrphinos owe a little more to liberty than to despo tism. And if we wished to tell the whole truth, .the French Journalist would see, that instead of being condemned, some among them wish to condemn others. The Jusephinos have not always been so well treated by the Journal des Debuts. " The Perscs are condemned as partizans of despotism, al though they ask for the ancient Cortes." The Perses have not been punished for their opinions, but for their crimes,—the crimes of having violated their oaths, and sold the liberty which had been entrusted to them. Many of them, we do not say all, have been for mix years haughty despots or sanguinary persecutors. Do you wish to know the attach meat that prevails .for .the ancient Cortex ? Read the Procla mations of the pretended Regency of Urgel, and see the de mand of Mate Florida, the Coryphteus of the 69. Do you wish to know what they w ould have ? The Inquisition and an absolute government. The famous Journal, the Scourge." Famous ! and since when ? Among the Ultras no doubt.— Nothing is more natural than to boast one's own works. Let the French Ultras give the Zurriago the epithet of famous ; one may he rendered famous as touch by evil as by good. " It will be necessary to consider Spain as a barbarous coun try, like the Empire of Morocco, or the Regency of Algiers." This is not the first time that we are used to be treated thus. A long time since we have heard, that Spain is out of Europe, and ought rather to be considered as belonging to Africa. Let us be left then to our,barbarisin ; for it is supremely ridiculous to take so many preeautions against people whom one would af fect to despise. PORTUGAL. We have received Lisbon Papers front the 19th to the `24th ult. The papers from the 13th to the 19th have not been forwarded by the packet which brought the mall ; but by an arrival from Portugal through Spain, we are enabled to supply the only article of importance in the journals which are missing. That article is the report of the Committee of the Cortes on the documents relative to the refusal of the QUEEN to take the oath to the Constitution. It is in the following terms : " The Committee appointed to give its opinion on the pro. cess instituted by the Executive Authority, on the occasion of the Senhora Dona Carlota Joaquina having refused to swear to the Constitution, will not take up the time of the Congress by informing them of what has already been done in this business, which is all clearly related in the report drawn up by the Mi nister for the Home Department, and in the documents by which that report is accompanied. " The Committee will therefore merely recommend this pro cess to the attention of the Cortes, as a fresh proof of the wis dom and virtues which adorn the person of Doi► John VI., of his intimate and sincere union with the nation, and of his obedience to the laws. The prudence and energy with which this subject has been treated in the various debates of the AI i -nistry, after having heard the Council of State ; the previous notifications,,both written and verbal, which the Queen has re ceived of the provision made by the law, and of the punish ment she must incur by her opposition to, it; the solemnly. ratified refusal of that ill-advised lady, founded only on the determination she had formed never to take an oath during her whole life, and her perieverance 'tering to the resolution she had thus formed c the attentions which have been shown, towards her, in leaving her'tho cholciof h destination, and in suspending the period of her depirture on account of the ;state Of her health, for which reasott she has been ordered to retire for the present to the Quinu de Ramalhao--all this, Senhores, proves to us the virtues of Don John VI., and the prudence and firmness of his Ministers. The law has been fulfilled without tergiversation, as it ought to be in a Consti tutional Government, where it is the same to all. The dic tates of humanity have been respected, and the dzcorurn and attentions due to the august spouse of his Majesty have been observed. " In consideration, Therefore, of the law having been ful filled, and of its execution having been suspended only from just considerations, the Committee are of opinion that this affair does not belong to the jurisdiction of the Cortes, and that it should be merely declared in the journals that they are in formed respecting it. " gall of the Cortes, Dec. 9, 1822." (The signatures follow.) In consequence of this opinjon, the Committee undertook to reply to the grounds on which the motion of Senhor Acursio des Neves was founded, and justified the proceedings of the Government in a long 'discourse. The Cortes resolved that the whole of the documents on the subject should be printed in the Diario do Govern°, for the in. formation of the public, and that the decision of, this affair should be deferred until a future siting, to be appointed by th e President." The threatened attack on the Peninsula ap pears to have excited the public attention at Lis bon as well as at Madrid. It was probably with the view of allaying some irritation to which the state of sympathetic feeling between the two capitals may have given birth, that the following notice was on the 19th inserted in the official paper of the Portuguese Government. It is con spicuously printed :-- "'We are authorized to state, that neither the Portuguese nor the Spanish Government have received any communica tion either from the Congress of Verona, or from any one Power; in consequence of any resolution which may have been adopted in the said Congress." Tile papers of,the 18th and 19th contain articles on the:reports of an invasion of the Peninsula, which they generally disgredit. The Diorio do Govolio, in noticing the rumours, observes— " At All events, the mere threat of a design .to compromise our indepep4ence cannot tail to rouse. in the nations of the Peninstili, all that ardent love of country and of freedom which enalSeil them to win their independence ; and in their respective Governments the prudence and energy necessary to secure it." At the date of the latest intelligence the idea of an armed intervention in the affairs of Spain was in a great measure removed, hut the journal ists, notwithstanding, dwell on the necessity of measures of precaution and vigour on the part of the Government. The following is a brief account of some of the proceedings of the Cortes : The Cortes having desired on the 3d Dec. to be informed how far the Committee assembled to draw up a Criminal Code had proceeded In its labours, Senhor Martin Basto,in the sitting of the 18th, read a report, in which he stated that the persons engaged on the work had divided the code of crimes and punish ment into three parts, treating in the first of the principal bases of criminal law ; in • the second of public wrongs ; in the third of private wrongs; that the first and second were nearly con cluded, and that they would be able to conclude the third in the second year of the present legislature ; and then they will treat with all possible brevity the project of the code of criminal procedure. Without judging of the system adopted, the Committee, said M. Baste, cannot but observe, that it is desirable that so import ant a work should be accelerated as much as possibl e , and therefore propose that other Portuguese lawyers be invited to concur in the code, In the same manner as was determined for the civil code, by the decree of the 16th of September, °filling, in the same %I - tanner, a premium and accessit.—Adjourned for the second reading. In the Sitting of the 19th, the members of the Special Tribu nal for the protection of the Libel ty of the Press were elected. In the sitting of the 21st the Cortes were informed of the ar rival of the French brig Silence, from Havre. M. F. M ar i a Cog when h or n, a I'e left o rtugut Paris, ten ese that days ago, it was known th a t t h e Congress had allowed the French Oovernment to interfere in the affairs of Spain, but that there was reason to believe it would not interfere with an armed force—public opinion being adverse to such a measure. MEXICO. ALVARADO, Nov. 4.--.'f l it , Commandant of the fort of St. Juan d'Ulloa, on the night of the 27th ult.,. made An attack with the garrison on the city of Vera Cruz. It appears that the Governor was prepared for the assault. The moment the Royalists entered the city, they were attacked in the streets by the Imperialists, and completely routed, with the loss of 200 killed, wounded and prisoners. General Ihvila, the former Governor of San Juan Mina, had, resigned previous to this affair, and the castle is now under the command of an officer of the name of Lemur. It is not expected, that the castle can hold out long. Te Dom was celebrated here on the 29th, for the success of his Imperial Majesty's arms. PRIVATE LET'T'ER FRO3IACVAILADO, OCT. 4 29, 11133. " DE:An Si n—This day, at noon, we have had a solemn Te Deem, and military rejoicing, in consequence of the defeat of an attempt made on the night of the 27th inst. by the garrison of the castle of St. Juan d'Ulloa on the city of Vera. Cruz. I. have conversed with a person who was present during the atrair, and from the various accounts given, it appears probable that die in tended attack was known to the Governor of Vera Cruz, and every preparation made to repel it. The enemy had entered the city ; the action which followed took place in die streets. The Castilians Were diseomlitted with the loss of lad or 200 men, killed, wounded, and prisoners. Davila, had, a few days bethre, given up the command to a certain Lemur. The port of Vera Cruz may be considered as closed now until the Castle has sur rendered. I translate - and annex the Proclamation of the Go vernor of Vera Ctuz. " The Commandant-General and Political Chief of this Pro vince to his fellow-citizens. Inhabitants of Vera Cruz!—The Genius of Evil, the public oppressor, and the enemy of the na tural rights of tnan, the Chief of the Castle of St. Juan detlllon, actuated by rash vanity and pride, to the pre,judice of the hue rests of his nation, had planned an attack this morning on this place, to surprise its chief officers, plunder the richest dwellings, to introduce confusion, disorder, and anarchy, but he has met with such disappointment as proves his impotency. "These Castillian soldiers, who compare themselves in bravery to the Nunianuans, have suffered a reverse of which they are the victims, and you have been the witnesses ; and as often ars they may attack our liberty and in.!ependence,so often shall they meet the sacred spirit which animates Our vast Continent, and which no human force can conquer. Therefore live tranquil, contemn inquietude, remain at your homes safe under the indefatigable care of the political and military authorities, and trust entirely on the support of thii invincible garrison, which will always faithfully Support your Government, your civil prerogatives, and your dearest properties.

Minieigneur—lrour . Etcellency has approved my journey to Viotti* You have witnessed since my arrival the degree pf confidence placed in me by the principal Cabinets of Europe. The first consideration compels Me is a Frenchman, and one who is under the protection of your Excellency, to speak to you with frankness; the second induces nit to hope that you will consideriny observations of some importance. The system which unites the Courts of Russia, Austria, Prussia, and the secondary Powers connected with it, has only received additional strength since the last Congress. This system consists of an invariable determination to oppose, not only the propagation of revolutionary principles, but also of those principles which might be favourable, directly or indi rectly, to the cause of the Revolutionists. Since your arrival at Vienna, your Excellency has had an opportunity of ascertaining that the view which I had taken, on your accession to the Ministry, of the intentions of the Cabi nets, and of the individuals who compose them, was exact in every respect. Your Excellency readily comprehended that view ; and it would have been well if the other Ministers, your colleagues, had equally appreciated their situation and my statement. The instructions which your Excellency has re ceived will enable you to judge whether my fears are well founded. A great question—that of the fate of Spain—is about to be agitated at the Congress. This is a principal question; and your Excellency has had this object chiefly in view : for the in terests of the States of Italy, the maintenance of troops in that Peninsula, and transactions which might have reference to some economy in the occupation, are objects of toosecondary a nature to deserve on the part of France the adoption of any extraor dinary diplomatic measures, such as tha presence of your Ex cellency at the Congress. I say nothing of the affairs Or the East, which are decided by the result. France is at this moment, with respect to Spain, nearly in the seine situation in which Austria was with relation to the kingdoth of Naples during its revolution. Her geographical position—the dangers of vicinity, are the same. It is evi. dent that France,. must adopt the part which Austria as sumed with so much success 18 months ago. I will go far ther—l will even assert that it is necessary for France, under pain of compromising her dignity and her interests, to take the lead in this affair, and to intrust to the bosom of the Congress the discussion of the means which should be taken to put a stop to the misfortunes of Spain. These means must be adopted by common accord. The Ca binets, and particularly the Austrian Cabinet, which must in justice be allowed to have the best information with regard to what la passing in Europe, are not iporont of the fruitless at tempts made by France, since the commencement of the Span ish revolution, up to the period of the sad events of the 7th of July last, to interpose in that revolution, for the purpose of directing it, modifying it, or stipulating with it. Europe is aware that these attempts had for their object, to impose upon the Spanish nation the French Charter, or a Con stitution founded on that by which you are governed. I say im pose, for though some Spaniards belonging either to the class of the Revolutionists or their silly followers, have countenanced such a plan with the French Government, yet the people in ge neral reject it, anti reclaim their ancient institutions, laws, and customs. The proclamation of the Junt a of Cat alonia is in • this respect the expression of the national wish —of the wish of all those who have preserved, amidst the Spanish Revolution, the noble and true character of Spaniards; and I can assure your Excellency, with the deepest conviction of my correct ness, that the manifesto of the Provisional Junta has been viewed in this light by the assembled Cabinett. Your Excellency's situation is therefore of a somewhat deli cate nature (if such an expression may be allowed to the fer. • your of my zeal). It is believed that the French Government, as a consequence of its own unsettled and uncertain situation, cw p wh a ihit g iehc a o i h o trbe n urea o nxn f deceeavd it charters,and siuortpieoonrfoadci frh different has a natural tendency to constitutional proselytism, to the pro. a s p la r t b i e n e c e i i t n p " l z l e f : a . i t o h t e l i re s ' i l; b !s y m f is n in te ta nr, wd ri b t r y l: ALAI.

The opinions of your colleagues, Mon seigneur, are far from being manifested' on this point. row, though the French Charter is respected and guaranteed by the Allied Powers towards France, there exist in the arts tern established by that Ch arter several provisions already re cognized as dangerous, useless, and inapplicable to every other n country. that the abolition of orders, the destruction of privileges , _rh e institution of a legislative Chamber founded on popular on e o le ;- don, and on a turbulent equality of rights, th e i t e br a t c n h a .a t n i e f of g y ard our s E S x p ce ai Chamber of Peers, which would be turned to d iii , en i c t y kl N, a il e l in h o a n v s e tr w ated tre ; e, nlimi t t a t i S re. some intriguing upstarts, or corrupt , nobles,. liberty ligion, the publicity of the tribune, end the incen dia ry of the press—it is demonstrated, say, that thes e _ innovations, lahle not only with the ligious toleration to the detriment of the nat i onal Catholic re and many others, would be irreconc ilable, withthetran quillitywishes and the necessities of Spain, but even the incouveni. attempts to establish those modern theories encies of which we ourselves so often experience. h Charter must be held of Europe, already too long troubled by the repeated I know, Monseigneur, that the French sacred by the Ministers who govern by it , and who lave s w orn subject, to observe it. For myself, who am a mere though I consider some of its measures as imperfect , and others as disad vantageous to the sovereign power, I submit to it as to the work of the King, and indeed I do not see for what it could be in France. But this respect for the Charter does not induce an obligation to propose it elsewhere. It' we would exchanged wish the rest of Europe not to meddle with our affairs, we must avoid troubling her repose and creating uneasiness to her by rendering ourselves the propagators of a system already con demned by the good sense of the principal Cabinets. Besides, the interests of our own Charter essentially require that no concession should be made to the Spanish revolutionists. In Spain the ancient institutions are merely suspended, and the interests which among us are audaciously called revolu tionaryh arc not consolidated there ; no kind of charter would be well received in that country except by that European faction which entertains designs directly hostile to the existence of Crowns, and which, in despair of its cause, would accept a charter as a means of discord favourable to its views. The Moment this faction !should obtain some degree of con. sistency in Spain, by granting to it, by means of a constitu tional act, the . power of placing itself in the Gov er n ment , as has been done in our own country, it would conspire with our revolutionists—with those men, who under the name of the Charter:attack the Royal authority in France, either in the tri bune or by force of arms. Have not Quiroga, Meg°, and the other traitors of the Isle 'of Leon, beets styled heroic by Deputies of the French Char ter ? Did not Berton compare his attempt, and not without justice, to that of the immortal heroes of Andalusia ? And had not these Deputies, as well as Berton and his cotnpanions, the charter continually in their mouths ? It is evident that the hostility which the altar and the throne in general, but the Ca thulic Faith and the Bourbons in particular, have to oppose, would be doubled through the connexion which subsists be. tween the factions of Spain and those of France, by giving to the former the means of obtaining an :amnesty for their deeds, and of taking part in e Government founded on the recognition of a rebellion. Besides, how can it be supposed that Europe would permit such a proceeding, which would be giving a public encouragement to discontented and ambitious men of all nations to rise in rebellion, in the hope of obtaining a char ter—that is to say, impunity, offices, and honours. This is the manner of thinking of the Cabinets with which you will have to treat. Your presence is calculated to remove distrust, and to dissipate prejudices. I cannot, however, avoid calling your attention to some circumstances which might have weakened the favourable impression that your mission has pro duced here. There has been nothing hitherto in the acts of the present Ministry to prove that it has abandoned the system so disastrously pursued by its predecessors, who, with the view of procuring for France a kind of constitutional patronage, would excite revolts in neighbouring countries, and (lifer to innovators the support of France on condition that they would accept the Charter. This system has completely failed, and it will always fail. It would be desirable that your Excellency should convince your colleagues of this truth, the evidence of which will be demonstrated to you during your residence here. Since the Arrival of your Excellency at the Congress, nothing has hitherto occured to tranquillize the fears of Europe ; on the contrary, certain ministerial discources,certainconcealmentswith out any object, and certain ministerial articles inserted in the Jour nal des Debuts, which have dismayed the friends of monarchy in every country, and of which, as your Excellency knows, the Cabinets have officially complained ; tiredly and principally, the retaining and appointing of certain diplomatic agente,whose opinions are but too well known, teens to indicate that the policy of M. Pasqiiier and his colleagues still holds sway in the coun cils of the Xing. I have already had occasion to communicate to your Excel . lency the information which had reached me respecting the equi vocal sitnitioe ie which M. de Chateaubriand had plaeed self in London; and of the unfavourable impression which very name had produced on the Allied Court* t the tinle 3(9 . . , longer exists when diplomacy could prevail over a - roam union. " The idea of forniimg a defensive rather than an Ow sive league between constitutional goverrnments sgainst ole• narchies, is now out of date, and the great apostle of charter, is well known here. The mission of M. de Chatesubrisati at Verona, therefore, is not very opportune. It is, it mutt be ro• teased, a diplomatic blunder, unless the Alinisterof 'Ads XVIII. wishes the relation between France 'and her Allies t° rest upon a reciprocal distrust. 'Co believe that M. de Chstess-, ► briand will be allowed to know the "secret resolutions of the Cs; binets, would be as great an illusion as any which that vi ler has embodied in his poetic prose. It is also necessary that your Excellency should be inferred 4 that the legion of diplomatists which France has sent to,* Congress appears, in the eyes of the Allied PoWers,' to beat__, l ! 4 greater resemblance to an army of observation, than to skim"' and confidential embassy. In conformity with the communications which have beet made tome, I can certify that the Cabinets of Austriaeßadi . and Prussia have, during the l a st t e n d a y s , b e en perfectly 11 1 1 ' ' nimous in their opinions upon all the questions which maw. be discussed in the Congress. They decide always with W e ' voice. Your Excellency must feel how ineportant 'this cites* stance is, and what is the nature of an union between five POWWS, three of which immediately come forward with one soda* same opinion already agreed upon. What can France do in such a case ? Break from her_ e Allide or follow in their train, as s he h as hi t h erto d one ? It beam:, her dignity to be prepared to decide at the same time I s_ 34 ll. '' other Powers, and to discuss the questions which are hroajw"':' forward upon an equal footing with them. Your Excellency will comprehend much better than 10 .1 state it, how worthy the fact which I have related is of t... Yet: 3 i most profound attention. It affects the fundamental r e ll of the Alliance, which cannot subsist unless the digrilti "' e. each contracting party be maintained. It is reserved foari l l Excellency to repair the injury which preceding Minister, ar t's done to our diplomacy. otarah ica This fact will prove to your Ex ce lle nc y t h a t t h e ni principle has become as ample in its march as fort: ith . ; the resources which it presents. Can France desire to eeo teel draw herself from such a s y s t em , w h en s h e may man' °m ud the fi rst ranks in it ?

Shall we ale Europe to avenge the Royal authority among among our relatives ? And must the Oovernmeir the dynasty of Louis XIV. be constantly occupiet guarantees in favour of subjects revolted against that august family ? It appears eo me that in the present circus vidence presents to your Excellency an opporti much good, and acquiring gre a t glory. Wit the instructions which your Excellency may from the Council of Ministers, it is not possibl be so precise as to prevent you from taking ad' present occasion. The French restoration was imperfect, because had lasted a quarter of a century, and because then sufficient experience in restorations. The Spain must be complete. The religious and mon: ciples must be re-established in all their purity, r lustre. The Cabinets unanimously profess this s will be made manifest to your Excellency. At this moment, Monseigneur, France fixes hi important mission you have to execute.
