SOLIDI QUIS DICEBE FALSUM .AUDEAT LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26, 1823. The intelligence from France, Spain, and Portugal,,is of great importance. The measures of the' Government, in the former country, and its obstinate perseverance in a project of un- just aggression upon the Peninsula, have pro duced a crisis in its internal condition, and a degree of popular excitement, that, in the opinion of all well-informed persons, has brought the French Monarchy to the eve of a revolution, At the first moment when the real designs of France against Spain became apparent, we stated our conviction that the BOURBON dynasty in France would encounter the danger of subversion, if the project of invading the Peninsula were not relinquished ; a conviction which was strengthened by the subsequent de• ciaration of Lord LIVERPOOL ) that he dreaded the results of the threatened war, not more for the sake of the general tranquillity of Europe, than for the sake of France, which his Lord ship foresaw would be exposed to the danger Of the greatest calamities, from the time it which she might venture to commence hostilities, in a quarrel not more unjust than "Popular. Raving these impressions strongly before us, our Readers will recollect that attached much importance to that pas. S age in the official Pamphlet " On the Adminis tration of the Affairs of the (British) Empire," In Which it was stated that the English Minister "'Verona had distinctly intimated to the Minister / * rince, that if France did rush into a war with )t must be " on her own grounds, and with all the eventual risks of the contest." Ong of those risks, it is sufficiently evident, is that of internal commotion, and of attempts being made to effect a change in the Government, and even to subvert the authority of the reigning family ; and the intimation given by Great Britain could not be otherwise construed than as a renunciation of any implied obligations to maintain the Throne of Louis XVIII. against the danger of subversion, from whatever source it might arise, in consequence of the imprudent and unjustifiable conduct of his GovernMent.— Our readers are also aware that we have advanced, as one powerful motive for the observance of neu. trality by England, the probability that Spain might be deprived, by an offensive and defensive alliance with his country, of one formidable means of attack and retaliation upon the French Govern ment to which England could not be a party ; for although Great Britain is undoubtedly absolved from all implied obligations to guarantee the Crown of France to the BounnoN there are no circumstances, as affecting her, which would justify her in supporting and aiding a party whose object should be the downfal of the BRURBON dynasty, or even the re-modelling of the French Government on any other basis than that of the Charter. Spain, however, is very differently circumstanced, and possesses the indubitable right of employing every weapon against her enemy that can be fur nished either by her own means, or by the pecu- liarities of his situation. The importance of these observations is now manifest, not only from the gradual development of the state of public opinion in France, and from the strong indications, and stil stronger suspicions, of disaffection iii the French Army, but, from the conversation last night in the House of Commons, on Lord Joist question as to whether this country is bound by treaty to guarantee the throne of France to the BOURBONS.* As to the first of these points:— The recent information from France has all concurred in representing the feelings of the Army as at best doubtful;—our Express yes terday from Paris brought us the intelli gence, on no less authority than that of the Journal des Debuts, that several French Officers had been arrested in the Bordeaux Dili gence, by which they were proceeding to the frontier under assumed names and with false pass ports;-and in a private letter which is inserted in another column of our Paper of this day, it is asserted that a most formidable conspiracy had been discovered in the Army of the Pyrenees, in which even two of the Aides-de- Camp of General GUILLEMINOT were implicated, and the object of which was to effect a change of dynasty by a military revolt ! Wa cannot, of course, vouch for the truth of this alarming statement, though its probability is borne out by preceding accounts, and is strongly supported by the sudden appointment of the Duke of BELLUNO, the French Minister at War, to be Major-General of the Army of the Pyrenees, and his precipitate departure for the Army, for the purpose of quelling the conspiracy 1 Even if that conspiracy, however, should be for the present quelled, by the removal of the Officers who are implicated in it, what reliance can be placed on the fidelity of the troops, when they shall be brought into ac tion with the Spaniards, in the front of whose lines will wave the tricolor standard which has been hoisted by the foreign legion of Frenchmen, and of Neapolitan and Piedmontese refugees ? As to the , second point, the guarantee of the throne of the BOURBONS is evident from Mr. CANNING'S statements last night, and by the pre vious declaration in Parliament of the late Lord LONDONDERRY, that England is bound, not to guarantee the throne of FRANCE to the BoURBONB, but merely to exclude from that throne the family of 13UONAPARTE 1 If the war be still commenced. therefore, by France, we repeat, • The 'Treaties signed at Paris at the general peace of 18111, by Great Britain, Austria, Russia, and Prussia, contain the following Articles : Article I.—The High Contracting Parties reciprocally en gage to maintain In its full force and vigour the Treaty signed this day with his Most Christian Majesty, and to see that the stipulations of this Treaty, as well as those of particular Con ventions thereto referring, be strictly and faithftilly executed in t'leir full extent. 2.—Having been engaged in the war which has just termi nated, for the purpose of tnaintaininginviolable the arrangements concluded at Paris last year, for the security and the interests of Europe, the High Contracting Parties have thought proper to renew by the present Treaty, and to confirm, as mutual obli gations, the said arrangements saving the modifications which the Treaty signed this day with the Plenipotentiaries of his Most Christian Majesty have added, and particularly those by which NAPOLI:ON' BUONAPARTE and his family, by virtue of the Treaty of the I) th of April 1814, have been fin. ever excluded from supreme power in France, which exclusion the Contracting Parties engage by the present Act to maintain in full vigour and if necessary with all their forces. And as the same revolutionary principles which have supported the last criminal usurpation might under other forms disturb France, and thus menace the tranquillity ofother States, the High Contract ing Parties, solemnly acknowledging the duty_ of' redoubling their cares to watch over in similar circumstances, the interests, and the tranqUillity of their people, engage in case that such an unfortunate event should break forth, to concert with each other, and with his Most Chrisian Majesty, the measures which they may judge necessary for the security of their respective States, and for the general tranquillity of I Europe.—(See Suppkment to GoLDssirruts Collection of State Papers, p. 481. emphatically, that she undertakes it " ; ills call the eventual risks of the contest !" But the news from Madrid, which not only at length fixes, in consequence of the firmness of the Cortes, the definitive period for the departure of the KING and the Government, but also announces a change of the Spanish Ministry ) may, and we hope will, be. seized on by the French Govern ment as a pretext for withdrawing front its pre- Sent hostile attitude. We have good reasons for believing that it was. in the anticipation of this important event . that Lord LIVERPOOL continued to haVe some remaining hope that peace might ,be preserved. .'he latest accounts from Portugal represent the CONDE AMARANTE as flying before the Con stitutional Forces under General REG°, and 'the insurrection as completely frustrated. [PROM A CORRESPONDENT.] STOCK EXCIIANOE, Twelve o'Clock.—The in formation of a conspiracy in the Army of the l'yrenees caused great sensation in the earlier part of the morning, but after the public had given it mature consideration, much of its import ance fell to the groundovhich will be observed by the Consols' Market, which opened at 741 27 at which price it is steady up to this hour. Had the above conspiracy been of any great magni tude, the French Funds would have fallen con siderably ; but by the Expresses this morning we understand that after the closing of the French Funds they were done at 78f. 15c. Mr. UNNING'S speech has had also great weight in the Market, and has been the cause of keeping the Funds down. There is also another circum stance which the public look to with confidence, which is, that if a gevolt takes place in the French Army, the Russians and Prusssians will come to the assistance of France.—Spanish Bonds opened this morning at 30, and fell to 2.81. A Jatnaica _Mail arrived this morning. The '011(m ing are extracts : (From the Royal Gazelle of Feb. 8.) Extract of a Letter from Savanella, dated January 29. 4 ‘ We have just heard of the recapture of Santa Martha by the Republican forces under Genova' Montilla; the Cenega was burnt ; the above vil lage was taken at the point of the bayonet, and the slaughter of the Indians gr e at. Bolivar was proceeding from Pasto Port for Rio de la Hashe, and be had directed the Vice President to send all the disposable force to finish Morales in one short campaign." 64 KINGSTON, JAMAICA, FEB. B.—The dea, warrant for the execution of the pirates contained ten in number. They were, about an hour before dawn of day yesterday morning, taken from the goal, under a guard of soldiers from the 50th regiment and the city guard. The whole of the ten having been placed on the scaffold and the ropes adjusted the drop was let down ; Nendie being a heavy man broke the rope and fell to the ground alive, but was again suspended ; he was for a long period convulsed and died hard." , BRIGHTON, MARCH 24.---liis MAJESTY con tinues in the enjoyment of good health and spirits. o'clock, Mr. O'GoamAN arriv e d a t the Foreign Yesterday: afternoon, about half past four Office in a coach and four, with dispatches from Madrid.

THE Awrs.—The Russian Military Gallery is proceeding in the most magnificent, splendid, and enlarged scale in St. Petersburgh, by the com mand of the Emperor of all the RUSSTAS, to per petuate the memory of the great Heroes who dis- tinguished themselves in the late War, and it is most flattering to the British Arts that an English Artish (Mr.DAwE), has been selected by the Em peror for this purpose. Mr. IIAwE has been em ployed in this great undertaking several years past; he has already painted nearly two hundred Officers. The EMPEROR arrived at St. Peters burgh on the 20th January, and inspected the Gallery. Amongst the large pictures, that of the Duke of WELLINGTON stands most conspi cuous. The building and the whole of the Iworks relative to the Picture Gallery are eee. cuted in the most costly style.
