[BRITISH PRESS.

The Journal des Debuts of Sunday is made to
preach peace with all the fervour of penitence
and mortification. The Moniteur did the same in
effect before. The luckless Courier of the Eng-
lish Stock Exchange did it yesterday. It is• im-
ppssible to entertain a moment's doubt of the
truth, both positive and authorised, of the pacific
dissertations. War will not Ile attempted, was
never intended,. and is utterly beyond the grasp
of policy or of madness.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
We can scarcely credit the rumour, which was
very current yesterday in the political circles,
that his Grace the Duke of Wellington, instead
of returning immediately to England, by way of
Paris, had agreed to accompany the two Em-
perors to Venice, and afterwards to Florence,
and from thence take his departure for England.
The report seems to have originated in an idea
that the contents of the State Paper delivered tp
Congress by the Duke, when' very near its.•close,
had .produced a powerful. effect; and as there
was not•time to enter into a full discussion of its
merits, and the parties connected with Congress
had previously resolved to separate, the con-
sideration of this important document might thus
he continued by the Powers most interested in
preserving the Peace of Europe.

cMORNING POST."
Papers The French to the. 9th inst. contain in-
.telligence from Spain .to the beginning of the
present month. Its nature•is important and gra-
tifying. Mina's successes, however great and de-
cisive against the bands of the Faith, have not
lulted the. Ministers into a deceitful security, or
led them to imagine that all danger was past.
' They do not relax their efforts and sit down in the
quiet enjoyment of the momentary calm which has
been obtained. On the contrary, they seem to in-
crease in activity,. and strain every nerve to aug-
ment the army so as to meet possible invasion
with an equal if not a superior force. All th
trimps of the line are to be sent 'away from Mae
drid„ where the regular service is to be perforthed-
by the national militia. This may be taken as a
fair criterion of the peaceable state of that ca,
pital„ for were disturbances prevalent or even
apprehended, its safety would hardly be en-
trusted -to a body of men so liable to be carried
away by political feelings.

ETII E TIM
In Ireland.' the only outrages described as of
late occurrence in the southern part of. the king-
dom, are confined to the county of Clare,, The
barbarous practice of houghing sheep has there
been resorted to, for the punishmentof the owner,
a Mr. O'Halloran, who had disregarded the notice
of General Rock and his Lieutenants to quit the
farm which he occupied. From the general
scale of Irish rents, and the consequent con-
dition of the tenantry,, it is not very easy to
understand how persons of that class should
be so much envied as to become the objects of
persecution. The List of Magistrates who have
been cashiered in Armagh is given in the county
paper; the total amount is 32, of whom 24 are
babitually, absent,. and therefore of necessity
inefficient : had the remaining eight been no more
tban inefficient,, it is possible that some of them
'night have been spared.

EMORNING HERALD.]
The illoniteur has for some days been rather
chop-fallen on the subject of Spain ; but still we
mill not regard the article in the Journal des
Nbats as a revocation or disavowal of the pug,
nacious disposition lately manifested. in the offi-
cial Journal,. If any opinion may be formed,
or any inference reasonably drawn, it is this,.
that a difference of opinion on the subject. of
attacking Spain still subsists in. the French Ca-
binet. Strange as it may and has appeared
to us,. that the' two French Diplomatists,,
MM. Montmorency and Chateaubriand), should
have gone to the Congress as. Itepresenta-
tiAes of two Parties in, the same. Cabinet, and
with conflicting instructions.;, yet. such,, as we.
learn from. the French Papers and. from. other.
quarters, has been the fact. Now M. Chateau-
briand, who laboured to avert the invasion of
Spain, but was foiled by his colleague,,is;the well,
inown patron or protege (we will not-take upon:
us to say which) of this Journal des Muds, and
possibly has renewed the -Controversy in the

Journals, and in the Cabinet. Tt is only as con-
jecture that we mention this, leaving our readers
to exercise upon it their own best judgments. .
