THE LONDON JOURNALS. EXTRACTS - FROM THE A tiLY I%IORNING rArEtts, March 4 29, 18'23. [NEW T 1 Mo.] Nothing further has transpired relative to the Gonspiracy detected in France ; but that it is detected must be gratifying to all who do not -wish to see Europe again forced into the bloody labyrinth of general Revolution. The facts already before the Public are sufficient to stamp a decided , character on this plot. The tricolor Flag alone marks it as Jacobinical. It is curious, .that this.symbol, which began with'massacre and rebellion in Paris,, has been found wherever and - whenever there was a hope of similar atrocities in any other country.—lt was the favourite badge of the London Corropooding Society in 1794 ; ;it was hoisted by Young Watson in Smith field ; it was to have been waved in the midst - of slaughter and conflagration by Thistle wood and logs. The Carbonari of Naples and- Piedmont had their respective Tricolor's ; and now Neapolitans, Piedmontese, Milanese, French men, and Spaniards are congregating together under the same horrid banner at Vittoria.—We are happy to say, that we believe the French array, as at present constituted, is proof against this kind of lure. The French People are sick and weary of revolutions, and the soldiery are organized on principles adverse from such an at tempt. Nevertheleso, when we remember the partial plots of lust year, we cannot but say that the utmost possible caution should be observed in guarding against their recurrence. That care we have reason to believe has been effec tually taken, and the Tricolor scheme is confined to the vagabonds and traitors assembled at Vit toria, and to souse few scattered partizans in France, most of whom are now arrested. There is however one part of the plot which has not, and we fear will not be sufficiently fathomed— we mean, the ✓source from which the funds of the conspiracy were supplied. This scheme cannot have been carried on without a considerable ex penditure of money. There are some rich men in France who would willingly make large sacri fices for the success of the revolutionary cause— but perhaps their riches will also enable them to evade justice [Tim TimEs.] We hate received the Paris Papers of We rresday, and letters of the name date. The notice which these journals venture to take of the late arrests is sufficient to prove the great interest which that exercise of authority has ex cited at Paris, though the cause is still only obscurely alluded to. In the mean time, our private correspondence enables us to add some important facts to the information which we have already published on this important subject.--- We are assured that a great number of officers, both in the army of the Pyrenees and In Paris, had engaged in the conspiracy. It is said that at Bayonne atone the number of officers im plicated is forty.tive, who will be arrested im mediately on the arrival of the Duke of Belluno. The standards of insurrection---the eagles and oi-coloured cockades—have long been prepared, The ramifications of the plot arc said to be very extensive. Some French officers who have lately irrived at Corunna, and others l mho are still in this country, were to have been active co-operators in the revolt. Two of Gen. Guilleminot's Aides-de-Camp , are accused of beading the conspiracy in the army. Guilleminot himself, having the character of a liberal in po litics, lla‘ always been an object of suspicion and dislike with the Ultra Royalists. He was only appointed to the important rank orMajor-Ge neral on account of his military talents, and the reluctance of Prince Hilt to have a Marshal of France at the head of his Staff. His Royal Highness, it seems, anticipates nothing but suc cess and pleasure in his expedition. It would appear that he exemplifies the proverb of mak ing Chateaux en Espagne, and was unwilling that any other should he associated with his own in so glorious an enterprise. The state of the army has, however, rendered' it ne cessary that Marshal Victor, to whom it is said this - horo of Bourbon has a personal should repair to the head-quarters. The pre vailing opinion at Park is, that the army will anon cross the Bidasson. It is acknowledged by the prudent part of the Ultras, that there will be danger in advancing, hut it is apprehended that there will be still more in remaining inac tive. Marshal Victor carries in his pocket the prociamaiion which is to be issued as soon as the army shall advance beyond the French frontier. It was prepared some time ago, and is conceived in , the spirit of the King's speech on the opening of the Chambers. (MORNING POST.] isin article of the 20th inst. from Bayonne an, noonces that, according to recent intelligence from Madrid, five or six thousand armed inhabi tants of Andalusia• were marching towards the capital to its,ist . in the removal of the King and Government, and to strenthen their escort. ' It is the passage of those volunteers through Estra xnadura on their way. to Madrid which may •have given rise to the report of an insurrection in that province. In the capital itself, complete (ran quillity is , said to have prevailed, and no dispo sition existed to oppose the (II pn rt ore of the King. The Civil Authorities of the Northern Provinces had received orders from the Govern ment to retire thirty Spanish leagues (about 105 miles) into Ole interior,and had begun to execute the command. They were followed by the riehest merchants and proprietors, - who having declared in favour of the Constitutional System, dreaded the vengeance of the Chiefs of the Faith, who were to accompany the French army in its march. They carried away with them all that could be conveyed, and it appeared evident that the defensive system, so successfully adopted by our immortal Commander in Portugal, would be followed to a considerable extent, and that the enemy would have to penetrate through a• country deserted by its inhabitants, and laid bare of all that could 'yield support to an invader. The flocks and 'herds were to be driven to the vicinity of the fortified places, and to 'be - kept, as 'much as possible, under the protection of their cannon. The same ar ticle states that the Duke .Angouleme was not expected at Bayonne before the 2d of April, and that on the sth the army would receive sup provisions.to March as far as the `Ebro, where, it was to take up a position until all the corpsOf which it was to be composed should be. arrived. 'This, it was Calculated, could not be accomplished before the 26th of April, so that additional time would be allowed for the , Spa niards to mature their plans, and to collect their means of defence, so as to prevent their lawless invaders from penetrating' deeper into the bosom of their country. Enarrrsll rar.ss.] That the French Ultras are not merely 'guided, but goaded by the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh, beCoMes, we think, every day more evident. The, Emperor of all the Russias has no 'doubt something to fear from the restlissness of that 'swarm of Cossacks that have visited France, and during the three years of military occupation, witnessO'a little of the French gallantry, and tasted a little of the French cookery, and saw enough of the el celeras of civilization and re finement to give them a distaste for the manner in which matters were managed in the menagerie out of which they came, and to which they, with some sulkiness, returned. The Russian bear is a rugged animal, and'the growing consciousness of his own strength must be a rational source of alarm tot& keeper. He has seem more of What Mr. Burke has termed " the death-dance of democracy," than makes it safe to have him prowling in idle ness and hunger within the atmosphere of an imperial throne.-A diversion towards the Penin sula is desirable on more accounts than one. The Russian army must be an Army of Occupation; without it, in the present intellectual condition of Europe, it may not feed contentedly on black bread and train oil as heretofore. The bestutty to prevent their acquiring a relish for : individual liberty in Russia is to employ them in a crusade against the liberties of Spain. The Autocrat, in his wisdom, has found out this secret, and it furnishes the key to his paternal policy, and his real for the legitimate liberties of,Europe. But ite - national spirit and the national feeling in 'ranee will produce a result that the dunies o Russian Cabinet have neither the foresigh to predict nor the power to prevent, and 44 a needless Alexandrine ends the song" rnay,have an air of mystic interpretation like the predic ion of the oracles of old. On rencontre sades. nee souvent pas des chernins qu'on prend pour 'eviler. [MORNING CHRONICLE...I Whilst the grand drama is preparing in which the Duke D'Angouleme it to take so leading n part, we will, for a moment, turn to the at tempted Portuguese revolutiou, one of its prin cipal underplots. if any thing can be considered really wicked and abominable, it is that system of exciting 'and promoting anarchy and civil dissentious in Spain and Portugal, by the most base and corrupt means, to which the French have so unhlosilieg resorted within', the lust eighteen months, as a preparation for their intended attack on the Peninsula. Availing themselves of the freedom of the press allow ed in both countries, they brought up the few pub lic writers who were base or ignorant enough to sell their services, and who fastened on several of the Articles of the two Constitutions, which they condemned at first" with some reserve, but afterwards were boldly throwing out the most insidious insinuations anti imputations against the men in power; attempts were made to inhume the passions of the people ; clergy men were hired to raise, secretly,, prejudices in their Minds ; in short, there are 110 private or public menus which the numerout French agents have left untried', to corrupt, divide, and ensnare the people, in both 'Spain and Portugal, with a view to set them at variance 'with their, respea live Governments. These neents have been pro, vided with travelling credits from Paris, and SQ barefaced has been the plan in Lisbon, that a French vessel actually arrived there with specie to supply them. Of these agents a Sarazin was a princip a l one, and .they were all instructed to f o llow the plans confided to them by a secret Portuguese Regency formed in Paris. They were supplied with lists of persons who would favour their projects, as well as with cyphers, and all the other requisites for secret correspon dence and machinations. [MORNING HERALD.) A faint notion prevails that the invasion of Spain is still in suspense and may be prevented. We know not upon what grounds this notion rests, whether upon the -slender thread of the bare possibility of peace, which the two leading Ministers in both Houses have recently thrown out, or ratherreserved, in their guaetled phrases —or on positive intelligence from, abroad. It is true the French papers say that M. de Mar tignac, who attends the army as Extraordinary Civil Commissioner of War, was to be intrusted with a misson to the Spanish Government, pre vious to the commencement of hostilities.. What the nature of this person's functions, at the pre sent crisis, with the French army can be, it is hard to conceive. Such functionaries were first employed by the Terrorist Government of France, and seta to the armies as spies upon the Generals. There can hardly be any occasion for such services at present. The Duke. of Angouleme is not likely to play the part of Duinorier, and go over to the enemy.— It is possibli, therefore, that though M. Mar tignac is invested with this name, his functions are to be purely • diplomatic. As fur as we'ean judge of him, however, lie is one of I persons likely to 'conduce towards an- ac comntodation. in the Chamber of Deputies he has expressed the most extravagant Ultra opinions, in that tone of Gaseon, aristocracy, for which the peaty deigneurs of 'a', provincial village, were ridiculous,even in the time of Moliere. It was he who, in conjunction , 'with General , Dupont ) brought `up ,two &Torts,- in the De- puties; onprojels of law relating to the invasion, when it was remarked that the Civilian (for M. ! tie Martignac is a law officer of the Provincial Courts) made a tremendous flourish of trumpets, victories,- and fields of carnage, whilst the General confined himself to the strict matter of the Report. From the character and the qua lifications of M.' de Marti gnac, we should think it much more likely that he is to treat diplo matically with the Regency of Urgel than with the Cortes. But whether there be communica tions or not between the French and Spaniards before the commencement of hostilities, it is still likely that we shall not hear, during the recess of Parliament, of the crossing of the frontier. There may be still, there fore, some short space left for Ministers to exert themselves. Lord Liverpool said inciden tally in the House of Lords, a few nights since, that neutrality is the position of this country. It cannot long continue so ; England never true been long neutral in any serious w aeon the Continent; and there never were circumstances in which neutrality would be more difficult than the present. She must either join the alliance or oppose it ultimately, and probably at no great distance.. She must take her stand either with the Monarchical league formecl against the great masses of physical force, and prevalent opinion, which are struggling-with more or less force, for a limitation and definition of -the rights of Sove. reigns and subjects throughout Europe, or she must join the latter against the former. PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. [Front The Liverpool Courier, March 26.1 SVarst.—The answers to the questions put to Ministers, in each House of Parliament, on the hopes they entertained of the success of their negociations to prevent, is possible, the actual commencement of hostilities 'between France and Spain, have nearly extinguished the feeble expectations which might linger in the public mind, that this calamity would be averted. • The papers which will be laid before Parliament, after the recess, will chew the ground which has been taken in this proceeding, the only subject about which, we apprehend, there can be any mystery; for it is sufficiently clear, that Government does not intend to declare war against France, should the invasion of Spelt) actually take place, simply on the ground of that aggres sion, though, of course, other circumstances may arise to In duce a change of policy. On two points,. it is evident, the Opposition intend to make their attack. The first is, the attempt cat the part of Ministers to induce Spain.to modify her constitution in any degree, should it have been made; the Second, on their determination to maintain a neutrality. On ' the first it would be premature to remark, because the factitself is doubtful, and, if there were sufficient reason to admit it, it is impossible, at present, to speak, except hypothetically. We shall, therefore, wait fur the information which, in so short a time, will be communicated to Parliament- The second is open to discussion, and, as war is so loudly called for by those who, when the, independence of Spain was subverted by Buo raiparte, were most clamorous for peace and submission, the principle on which it is waged may be examined. Of the conduct of France we have already expressed our abhorrence and regret, and in this the country generally,'and parties most opposed to each other, have cordially united. The public; preis has also been;for the most part ) unanimous, though a few prints, respectable for their ability and. or their principles, have dimented from the Collimon feeling, and done thernselveit little crdit by palliating the violation of one of the most sacred principles 'of ' international' justice, and writing rather as the partisans of the French Cabinet than in the honest spirit of English freedoms. In that . unitninious cipiession of sentiment in both }louses, which characterized the debate on his Majesty's speech, it wan, however, easy to perceive, that, at a certain point, the views of the speakers branched off. The principle of foreign interference with the domestic concerns of an inde pendent people was condemned; on that there was no difference of opinion. The conduct of the French Cabinet was repro bated ; on that there was unanimity ; but as to ulterior measures, should the unp . rinciplcd procedure of time Bourbons of Franco be persevered in, there was a inailifeat difference. The most 'violent members of Opposition were for a decleration of hos tilities against. France, should mho persist in her aggressive policy :.'Ministers and the moderate party looked to hostilities only In case of circumstances arising additional to the fact of a mere. nvasion of. Spain, and such as involved the honour and interests of this countryl and - this appears to be the present state of the views and feelings of each party. It was then pretty Clear, that the tinahimity would not very long be pre eerved, anti it is now newly certidn, that. the Opposition will clamour for war, and that it will be the task of Ministers to defend their resolution to keep the country, its long as possible, Ina state of peace. TO form a calm and rational opinion on this ifuestion,•.let us consider the proceeding's of France in dif. fcrent views, varying in the degree in which they ought to l a ce s this. co untry. One is that under which they actually present themselves, in' the professed intention of time French Cabinet in declaring war against Spain—to free . Ferdinand from the controul of the Cortex, or, in other worde, to restore Win to absolute power, and to give back , t o Sp* political and the inguiiiition. Another to render this sub eervient to the political Influence of Friuice, by - making the new-medelleil Spanish noverninent dependent upon her; thus commanding, through an imbecile Monarch., the resources of Spain, and controlling her counsels. A third is to pursue pro jects of conquest in that country. In the event of either the second or third of these results, we think that it is most evident that 'a ground of belligent - interference by this country would helaid, and that we.should be called upon most imperatively td assistance to Spain iu her Struggle for independence. The balance of power would then be seriously affected, and Fiance would be able, in any future contest with us, to corn. mand.tlie fleets, the ports, and the army Of Spain , against us, and, even in time of peace to controul our commerce both with that country and with Portogal Provided, therefore, that Spain fall under the power of the French; and-Ferdinand should be placed in possession of a power, for the continuance of which he will be indebted to the constant support of France,and French troops should be continued to defend him ngninst his subjects, as in the case of NaPlea e where the Austrian army has been obliged to remain ; the ground of our interference would be, that, in. point of fact, the independence of Spain is destroyed, and that tier counsels are under the military controul of France. Such a military occupation of Spain, after the object of testor ing Ferdinand has been gained, would ho tantamount to the conquest of Spain ; and who does not see, that, if France were to set out with dclaring her intention to march an 'army into Spain to annex it to time French Crown, we should at once forbid it, and buckle on the hernees ? So lonk however, as the object professed is no more titan to change the Spanish =sil tation, detestible as the principle is, and degraded as the French Court has made itself; we do not see that the interests of this country are so compromised as to warrant, on our part, a decla mtion of war against France. The . qttestion, in that case, revolves itself into this, whether the injuries which one country alas inflict upon another lay a jUstillable ground of war, when s'iettlier the balance of power, nor any great interest of a third . power, is violated. We-think not ; war.know no reason why a nation should go a knight-errantil in aid of! captive patriots • and'tern up paper constitutions. Far cart only be justified in ordinary cases by injuries actually inflicted, or clearly preparing to be inflicted, or in defence agaitiat overgrown empire, which •is the principle of the importance attached to a due balance of power, as far as it is a . just consideration. To this tangible i state of thing, as it affecta us,' the war , befiveen Fiance and Spain has not yet cornet and there is the less reason for a hasty determination on our part; becituie if, in reality, the'Spaniards, amt a people, feel interested in the political changes which have 'taken place in their government, they are adequate Ultimately to work out their own deliverance. If they - have no iumieit .of sufficient strength to - meet the enemy in the field, yet if the struggle be a naliand one; they cannot but inicceed by irre gular end partisan warfare. If the whole has been the work of a few, we see no reason at all why we ilideld incur the eipen 'diture of war to support a cause to which the country at large is indifferent. But though, as yet, there is no just 'ground of our hostilely interfering in this most unjust :aggression of .:France on Spain, (for none can feel a deeper conviction of its attrociousnessithan ourselves,) it is exceedingly Probable,' that we'may ultimately be obliged to depart from a neutral position. If - the revolution' has been the work of a few only, the work of many will ke soon accomplished; the, French armies may be withdrawn as soon as they have rescued Ferdinand; and the tiPallillrds may,go back to thelnquisition; Inlet:del exactions, and to bed government, till they spore unanirnetisly resolve to assert their freedom. But if so much of publte; etiittt aheitild be found in Spain, that a French army, must remain ,to support a state of things ''has'bein - famed upon the einintry, then Spein becomes in fact A part of France, and we have the right to unite with the patriotic Spaniards to recover their liberties.— We shall not only, in that ease, be able to show jusit cause of war - With France, but it will become solemn duty, hind -any Ministry would betray the country, 'did they not call forth all its energy to repel, not only an unjust aggression upon a friendly power, but an attempt to enlarge the power of France by the resources of Spain. Into this dilemma, too, France has proba bly plunked herself. She may restore Ferdinand; but she must immediately withdraw her armies, unless she would force England into a war. It is not, indeed, probable, that Ferdinand will be able to maintain his ground, without foreign assistance. If then the French withdraw, a counter-revolution must take place ; if they do not,' it appears to us, . that we must declare war, for we cannot permit the French to have the military oc cupation of Spain. It ;mar be asked, why then not prevent this by threatening hostilities, should the French pass the Py renees The answer is, that until we know whether France will attempt to do more than she professes, that is, to change the Spanish Constitution, no ground is laid for our interfering in, a hostile manner, because , that in itself neither affects the balanee of power, nor inflicts any injury on us.
