BAIONYE PAPERS.

BATONNP, Nov. 19.—Frequent couriers past
through, to and from Madrid. One dispatched by
the l~rench Ambassador, and who left Aladrid on
the 16th, reports that every thing was trier at the
moment of his departure. On the 10th and 11th
the Cortes discussed and approved the plan for ft/.

Dents seems not to be acquainted with Spain, or,
at least, he mast have been misinformed ; for to
believe that modifications in the Constitutien might
by force of arms is an illusion. The new system
has struck toe deep root—the revolution must pro-

not go back, and that they are able to surmount all
obstacles to the consolidation of their work. The

order and anarchy, but not lead to the triumph
which is desired, Spain is not a rich nation, whose
people dread a foreign enemy—the great mass has
nothing to lose; naturally paw and miserable, they
are always ready to take up arms, and there is no
doubt that the present government has sufficient
means to set them in motion. It is bet too true
that the three Biscayan provinces and Navarre would
be glad to sec an auxiliary army which would re-
store them the privileges and commercial immuni-
ties which they enjoyed before the revolution; but
this would have no essential influence in the interior
—for these provinces have always been considered
as if they were a foreign country ; the rest of the
nation was jealous of the immunities they enjoyed,
and hail frequently demanded the suppression of
them, and the Andalusians, Castilians. and other
people of the Peninsula, would desire no better than
