Who would not imagine that this crime, if not

this occurrence, and urging that if the crime
be not punished in au exemplary manner, it
will be impossible to establish the constitutional
system. He also remarks that foreign Powers
will form a very unfavourable idea of the sift:e-
mu of Spain. and of the pol:tical institutions
that it has adopted. The answer of the Cartes
contains au admirable reproof to the Government
for its very culpable reinivaness, while it proves
the just and disinterested sense entertained by the
Deputies of the proper and constitutional, extent
of their own power*. The Cortes," says the
answer, " have learned with much grief the crime
which has just taken place. But the Government
is invested with the power and the 1111111108 necessary
to provide tor good order.
"The Cortes are confined by inviolable limits to
the faculties of a legislative body, and can only set
the essoople of respect to the laws.
