• It would be gross duplicity to conceal the fact, that
M. Thiers resigned in consequence of his refusal to
take upon his own shoulders the disgraceful responsi-
bility of a direct violation of national faith. Argue
the question as you may—urge with whatever force,
that the interest of France should have prevented a
single soldier from crossing the Pyrenees—still you
do not touch the ground upon which we rely, that as a
party to the Quadruple Treaty Louis Philippe was
I bound to afford the co-operation for which he stipu-
lated. Did he do so? Most assuredly act.. Across
the French frontier, which, by the Quadruple Treaty,
should have been " hermetically blockaded," supplies
have been poured by the Northern Courts into the
camp of Don Carlos. A force, merely nominal, how-
ever, has, we admit, been sent in under Berneile; but
this cannot be regarded as more than a demonstration
to save appearances. M. Thiers, though only at the
eleventh hour, pressed upon his Royal Master
the necessity of at once sending an efficient force
into Spain. With difficulty Louis Philippe was
persuaded partially to accede to the representations of
his Minister. A few hundred troops entered with
Lebeau, a depot was formed at Pau, and the recruit-
ing ordered to proceed throughout the country. :Mea-
sures were taken by the Spanish Government to pro-
vide rations and pay for the troops. The news of the
occurrences at San Ildefonso reached Paris. That
Louis Philippe was justified in abiding the issue of •
events before he permitted any more troops to cross
the Pyrenees, we at once admit. While there was
yet a doubt that the cause of the Constitution of 1812
was the cause of the Queen, he was but obeying the
dictates of prudence in refraining from an interference
which might have. committed his Government in hos-
tility to either of these parties. But the Queen-
having accepted the Constitution, her right to the
support of the Three Allied Powers remains still
intact. No change in the Constitution of a country
in any degree weakens the obligations of its Allies.
Nay, further, these obligations remain unchanged
even in the case of a changed dynasty. The in-
stance of Louis Philippe himself has furnished one
illustration of this principle—an illustration, too, of
which he should not be lightly forgetful. Bound then
to afford the Queen of Spain the aid guaranteed by the
Quadruple Treaty—what course does the King of the
French adopt'? At the dictation of a foreign envoy,
instead of reinforcing the troops that had already
passed the frontier, he seizes an opportunity of cast-
ing an unworthy reproach on the General at their head;
he orders the breaking up of the dep4t, extinguishes
all hope of French co-operation during the present
campaign, and dismisses. the Minister by whom it
had been recommended. To the people of France,
rather than to us, it is matter of importance whe-
ther Louis Philippe is to be at once Monarch
and Minister. But to the people and the Govern-
ments of other countries, it must be ' a matter of
grave consideration how far it is prudent to com-
mit themselves in alliance with a nation 'tolerating
this unconstitutional and dangerous absorption of the
most important powers of the State. If the obliga-
tions of treaties can be evaded by the caprice of an
individual—be he Minister or King—what is habitu-
ally called " the faith of nations" becomes a mere
mockery I There are not wanting, we find, those
who say that M. Thiers was dismissed because he in-
sisted upon intervention : nor can the sagacity of these
persons discern any difference between " intervention"
and the efficient co-operation that has been demanded.
Intervention was not required by M. Thiers : it was
not asked for by the Spanish Government, nor the
British Government, nor, we believe, by any portion
of the English press. That which was asked for was
the co-operation guaranteed by the Quadruple Treaty.
Would this, if granted, have amounted to inter-
vention ? Has the co-operation of the British Go-
vernment amounted to intervention ? • Certainly it has
not. We are not principals in the war of sneeese
sion, as we should be if we sent an army of in-
tervention into Spain. Intervention was not con-
templated by the Quadruple Treaty. The strict ful-
filment
of its stipulations could not amount to inter-
vention ; nor has it done so in the case of Portugal
more than that of England. It is idle, then, attempt-
ing to draw from the inexpediency of intervention—
which was not contemplated—any justification of the
conduct of the condensed Government of France.
Must the successor of M. Thiers accept his porte -
foci& upon the condition of becoming the mere in-
strument of the King's will ? We should perhaps
not have the right, certainly we should not be at the
trouble, of asking the question, but that the people of
this country are somewhat interested in the answer.
The alliance between France and England, which has,
within a few years, under the auspices of a most able
foreign administration, acquired such strength, arrived
at such notoriety, is much less an alliance of the Go-
vernments than of the people of the two countries.
The re-establishment of a Tory regime, were it pos-
sible, with us, could no mote shake that allianee, than
could the restoration of a despotic Sovereign on the
throne of Louis Philippe. Its foundations are too
deeply laid in the sympathies, in the community of
feeling and of interests, of the people of both
countries. 'That the Holy Alliance should look
with jealousy upon the combination of the free
powers of Western Europe is too natural to ex-
cite surprise. To detach France has been the object
of their untiring exertions. The more recent lure
held out is the prospect of a matrimonial connection
between the Duke of Orleans and a Princess of Aus-
tria or Wirtumberg. To attain this object Louis Phi-
, lippe has made considerable and hitherto unavailing
sacrifices. In the Government of his own country
not unfrequent impediments have been thrown in the
way of the operation of free institutions. The King
appeared but too frequently more solicitous to bring
his Government into harmony with the despotisms
whose alliance he Was courting, than with thc•feelings
of the people who had placed him on his throne. From
the commencement of the struggle in Spain he has
most subserviently evaded the terms of his engage-
ments
the apathy
to the Queen. Will any Minister he may call
to his council dare to support
)eh e
himrilfld that he has
the
ap folly
to to persevere ? We do not apprehend
of France can now stay the progress of freedom in
Spain, but we know that cordial co-operation would
insure its more speedy triumph. If that co-operation
be refused it will be in obedience to a Power whose
alliance, however personally grateful to the King, may
be purchased at too high a price.__ Porn. Chronicle.
The " Peerage Reform" question does not appear to
have made very way much lately, in spite of the coun-
tenance it continues -to receive from the Ministerial
prints : and if the Government writers would conde-
scend to depart from their generalities, and tell the
people honestly and plainly the meaning of " Peerage
b Reform," we shrewdly suspect the propounders of the
crotchet would very soon be visited, as they deserve to
be, with almost universal contempt. But they will not
explain their meeting, and we therefore must explain
it for them. Let our readers, then, follow us for a few
minutes in the investigation of the real nature and ef-
fect of this " Peerage Reform." It means shortly and
simply, that a majority of the • House of Commons
shall be allowed to usurp and exercise, without check
or control, the whole of the powers of the State, as
well executive as legislative. To talk about the King'
exercising any authority in the event of " Peerage Re-
form" being effected, would be to rouse Ercles vein
in these performers of the most " lamentable co-
medy" since Pyramus and Thisbe, and furnish
Mr. Hutt, of Hull, with the part lie appears to
desire as ardently as Bottom the weaver did--" a
part to tear a cat in, and make all split." Away,
therefore, as a matter of course, goes the Monarchy.
With regard to the Lords, reformed, whether
by being made elective or otherwise, suppose that,
being reformed, they dared to venture to differ
from 'the majority of the Commons ? What then ?
Why another reform, of course—and another —and
another still—if the Destructives had patience
enough to go through so many stages before arriving
at the inevitable result, which is the abolition of the.
Peerage. Thus the science of government would re-
trogade thousands of years, and the boasted Constitu-
tion of this once greai, once glorious country—would
dwindle into the woist of all tyrannies. a sordid oli-
garchy. Such extent—not a superficial inch less—as
Mr. Rice senior, of time Treasury, would say—has this
proposition of " Peerage Reform." And it is sup •
