cilitate the Itt•volution of 1789, in France, we all
admit. hi like member that the abtoolbhiog ta-

found prepared to his haul., in order to subvert

those hidden causes, .it y be asked ? We
reply. the "insensible but general and profound
operatioh of war. of continental revolution, of
knowledge and iuformition, among the inferior
classes ; lastly", of our fainiliarity with convnlsions
of every kind around us, which have levelled
thrones and sceptres 10 the dust. Not that
the throne of Groaos the Tufa°, nod of the
illustrious House wow reig g, bears any, ex-
cept a general analogy, to those which lately
exist-
ed on the Continent. The Throne of these realms,
is placed on a constitutional, an elective, and a
national foundation, which makes the felicity and
prosperity of the people its find care, as well as
duty. That, as being so constituted. it Mill out-
live the wreck of Europe, we never have doubted.
That the insular position, and the maritime
strength of Great Britain, may even, in some mea-
sure, defy.the aggregate force of the Continent,
although directed by the subtilty, and veugeunce,
and arms of Bow Aes,orli. we may hope with con-
fitience, though we cansiot vaunt ou it AS
The answers given by Mr. CANNING, if, in

demonstrate how delicate, precarious, slid hol-
low. are one present conoeximis with the. Spanish
Government. That CEVALLOS_ has not brought
