ance should be the sonseqesees of the reseal" The
Doke therefor* dimeated, sod resectestrated when
iaterfarsnes with Spain was proposed, and withdrew
fins the coeference, at the hazard of the English sad
Preach anisette, among others. It was this coarse
of lotion which disabused Esrope of the notion that
England was favourable to the Holy Alliance. It was
this which tweed the hopes of the Liberals of
Europe towards England ; and we most bear it upon
one memory sad oar conscience that those hopes have
subsisted through many and bitter di appointments
sem to the prawn hoer.
One of the melts of the withdrawal of the Doke
of WILLINOTOS ought to be remembered; the oor-
respoodenes which it caused between Mr. C•maxo,
CHATIAMMIAND. and POLIONAC, is which the
French Ministers expatiated on the blessing it would
be to the Spaniards to rewire from the bounty of
their Sovereign snob a constitution as should be best
for them; while the English Minister replied that
the doctrine that free institutions were to be con-
ferred by an absolute Sovereign as a boon was "one
which the Spanish nation could not be expected to
subscribe to, nor any English statesman to uphold or
&feed." It is, indeed," he added, "a principle
which strikes at the root of the British Coustitution."
The immediate practical cooolusion was that England
would remain neutral unless compelled to interfere
by say aggression upon Portugal, in which case
"Gnat Britain would enter the field with all her
form, to support the independent°, of her ancient and
faithful ally." As we all remember, the French
ovens Spain. and restored FERDINAND and der
patine.

When England thus openly condemned, at the
husrd of her alliances, aid at the risk of war, the
intormeddling of the French Sovereign with the
government of Spain, the rake of France was one
whom she had assisted to place on the throne; and
the French nation was supposed to be, in foreign
affairs, one with its ruler. It is, es we need not my,
far otherwise now. The Sovereign who is now
assembling the armies of Francs on the frontier of
Spain attained the throe* by just such a coup d' ter
as has now happened at Madrid; and the world
believes that the attachment of the French people to
him may match with that of the Spanish nation to
O'DonniLL. While he governs autooratioally, and
silliness speech and the press, the same thing will be
believed; and be will in vain declare himself inns-
Gent and neutral in regard to Spain, while he causes
workmen to be arrested in the streets of Paris for
move/sin about Spanish affairs. That a good an-
derstandieg and sympathy would be found to mist
between the British and French people, in regard to
Spain as to other countries, if only they had means
of communicating, then eat be no serious doubt ;
and if the EMPRIOI should declare himself in favour
of O'Domenr..'s coup trEtat, he will Sod himself in
opposition at ones to his own people and his most
important ally. Till he makes the avowal rendered
necessary by his own act of assembling an army in
the Pyrenees, we English most be faithful to the
pledges we gave through the mouth of Cainana,
when England declared that she would rather foreleg
her albums than interpose any check on a people
meting that constitutional government under which
she herself bad become the first of the free, pros-
proem sad progressive nations of the earth.
