PARIS PAPERS.

SPAIN.

(From the Journal des Debate]

We have •Iresdy taken a milersl ♦ie. of the situation
of Europe with regard to Spain. We found no difficulty is
eontriaring men of seas. sod education, that this situating
prrsrood • riugsslar rompliutwn of difficulties; whether
with refereace to the priursples of right, to treaties and en-
gagenienlit, or as regards the inteleats of the don-emit
Powers.

We afterward; approached, in particular, one of the
Numerous questions which urine out of this situate°. of
Europe; we examined whether any available motive could
exist fur the Allied Poitiers, or any one of them to interfere
in the internal affairs of Spain. We repelled the dangerous,
idea of submitting to a foreign revision the use which each
Nation Noakes of the right of selfgoveroment. We are sure
that it is also the IiOCIf hie of the men who govern Europe;
and that no one of thew will dare to take 'pan himself Out
responsibility of a war of opinion. It is fur oar political
write.. to defend good systems by means orbit. nt and reason-
ing. They must nut expect the aid of cauuuu,a succour little
111011111 of the cause of truth. We have also demonstrated
that In the parifeolar case of Spain, Treaties and public de-
clarations would render impossible the use of such a motive
to Justify a foreign interterence backed by force. Bat two
have admitted, setting theory aside, that the seta of the Spa-
stab Government, by eudangeriug the safety of Europe, the
existence of Treaties, and the rights u( other State.' might
furnish them wi•h a clear and incontestable right of Joliette-
retire. Surh, for inotsore, would be the circumstance of the
captivity of the King and bus Family. If that were authen-
tically proved, oe have said, the motive for iuterfereuce
would exist.

The question reduced to this single point still involves a
great number of difficulties, some of which are of too deep a
nature to be fathomed. A Monarch may be deprived of his
liberty in two modes; by physical captivity (ibis is not the
case wills the king of Fpoml, or by a combinction of moral
sift s, which ell:kiwis!, Jo nut kave bins any free con-
trol In the choice of tnea.uiev to which hr is compelled to
attach bus signature. But these moral influences may be
more or Ira. violent, more ur less illegal; if at every iustatit
a King or his family were menaced with personal outrage,
such • state of anxiety would certainly be tantamount iIP
actual captivity.
We fear that such may be the situation of the King of
Spain; whatever the Consfihtlionnel may say, we have sum.
elect information to form a judgment uprise It, sad we affirm
with coofidence that the Note of Mons. Martinet de Is Rosa,
Misister Alf Foreign Affsirs ■t Madrid, in reply to the
Note of the French Ambassador ott the oceasiou of the
evest of the 90th of July, esnaist be regarded es satisfac-
tory evidence us which to establish the fact of the mural
liberty of King Perdisaad the Seventh. This Minister him-
self, • few days afterward*, was obliged to leader his
resignation, and is, at the present moment, placed nude,
areasaties by the Corti.. But what nosy perplex the
polities of the true kinds of Royalty and of the Rom-
boas of Spsia, Is the danger of opposing a plan of widget

which Ferd;nand the Srrenth may have ttecellent reasons to
he frar of giving a pi etext fur trinpeid nous move-
ments, and for 'lac useless effusion of blood, the dread of fur-
ntshieg a certain hireten Machisvelianism with an °ppm--
toady to accomplish the dismemberment of the Monarchy
■ud she annihilation of notional power : in stunt, the truly
generous enJ royal apprehension of depriving his people
of the honour of a noble repentauce, and of en oneuestm Med
!TIMIS to sentiments worthy of their character;—three
are imperious tura which may overrule, and, in some dr.
grey, tures the will of a Monarch. There would be, is this
case, a real default of moral lillerty; we should deplore such
a situation; we would give every thiisg that it did sot exist;
fur the liberty of coustituttmiel powers, slid, above all, that
of Royalty, is a condittou esseenal to the repose of Stairs
lied the pso.perity of the people; but while we should de-
plore such necessity, we would sohnU to ft; fur owe of the
first rules of all sound pokey is, to kg', how to suffer that
which I he remelted. _ .

If this mixed state between liberty and captivity, •f
which we base just drawn the hypothetical picture, were coo-
finned by the attelseutie iuteiligence which Goversotents
abtue have it is their power to procure, iu what way would
it be proper, consistently with European pulley, so remedy
the iscouven vices produced by the want of foresight of the
Congress of 1814 ?
It would ant be suffaitet to say, the right of iisterfer-
care exists. That may be; but the munch* of such a right
is subjected to the rubs of prudence and propriety. Pro-
deuce dentaside that we Jo nor ieterfere is • manure eldest-

portion of the Clergy. that the reel gy exists which might be
• able to overthrow the ruling party; bat these two classes
are at the same time soinisted with so strong a spirit of

. ary troops to co-operate with them. The Doke of Welling-

and foreign Cabinets, who might be accused, the one of

produce in such or such • Cabinet • disposition to profit by
the war with Spain, to execute plass of aggrandisement

These are the chart*, which would be isturred by

that ugly a profoundly Macbiavelian, anti-European policy
can desire to give birth to such dangers; because such alone
could have the hope of pining by it.

ELAND 1(S MAIL.

BRUSSELS, OCTOBER 26.

A German Journal contains a letter from Vienna,
on the affairs which it is supposed will be laid be-
fore the Congress at Verona for discussion. We
End in this letter that for some time past negoci•
Hiltons have been on foot between the Court of
Madrid and the Allied Powers, but that they have
led to nothing decisive, that they will be renewed
at the city of Verona, mid if the object pro-
posed is not attained, which is very probable, one
of the principal Powers will, it is said, declare its
opinion that, convidering the geographical position
of the Peninsula, nieasures of security to pre►erse
the rest of Europe from the revolutiusiary contagion
may be easily adopted, and would at all events he
preferable to a war, the issue of which would na-
turally be very doubtful.
M. H. Remy, bookseller and publisher in this
city, has just concluded an arrangement with Count
Las Cases, to publish here, on the same day as at
Paris, his Memorial de Sainte Helene, eight vo-
lumes, Bvo. Another edition will be in eight vs,-
lusnrs, 121 no. The work will be illustrated by a
very detailed map of St. Helens, and the plan of
Longwood.
Ott the 44th, in the morning, the remains of the
young Prince William Alexander, fourth son of
the Prince of Group, were deposited in the vaults
of the Protestant Church, formerly that of the
Augustine.. In the evening a Cabinet messenger
was dispatched to Verona, to carry the news of the
death of the young Prince to his Majesty the
Emperor of Russia. The mail from England is
two do). in aricar, in consequence of the contrary
winds.

We learn from Lille that on the 93d a very fine
farm, situated near that city. was wholly reduced
to ashes. It was lately built, and the carpenters
we►e at work only two hou►a before the fire was per-
ceived. This fire, the progress of which could not
be checked, though every exertion was made. is the
second that has occurred iu the environs of that city
since the 20th : it es supposed to be the effect of
design. and has produced in the country a degree
of terror which it is difficult to describe. The Pre.
feet has ordered patrotes to be established, and this
order is already carried into effect.
