similar to that which has been obterVed towards
them, they should not scruple to commit hos-
tilities on the French territory ?. This case might

The insurrection excited in Biscay, Catalonia;
and Navarre, places France under the necessity
of sustaining the surplus of expense occasioned
by Maintaining an army on the footing of war.
However, there is a wide difference between
the maintenance of a corps of observation and
the invasion of Spain. TO some heated imagina=
tins it appears only necessary to pasS the fron=
tiers, in order to subjugate the Whole ?eninsula
but wild declamation will avail btit little againit
' the voice of experience, and the common inte..;
rests of security and preservation, which -are so
well underitood by the European Cabinets. It
is not probable that France will inconsiderately
engage in war with a country so well -defended
by its mountains, its climate, Mid the-invincible
obstinacy of its inhabitants. We know there
exists a wish to deckare war against Spain, and
we know what wild hopes have been formed re-
specting that war; but we place faith in the -pru=
dence of thaSe who have to decide the question;
and for that reason we are far from regarding
such a war as inevitable.

[From the Journal de Farir.i
A ROYal Ordinance decrees that the 'Sanitary
measures established on the frontiers of the
Pyienees being now without an object, shall
cease from the Ist of October, and maintains the
troops which were employed in the cordon as
corps of observation for the prortection of tho
inhabitants of that frontier. The.expressions of
this ordinance, which we have correctly.cited,
do not appear calculated to lea*e any pretext to
the hopes and frantic instigations of those who
continue to call for war between two .friendly
nations and allied Crowns. If to this circum-
stance,. we approximate that of the measures
adopted at Gibraltar to remove every emigrant
conspirator, that also of the approaching recogni-
tion of the Spanish Ambassador by our Govern—
ment, and finally that of the contradictioni lately
exhibited between the assertions of the Moniteur,
which, ridiculing the. warlike fancy of certain
Journals, sent to the East troops which the Qua.,
tidienne had destined for the South, we, shall be
sufficiently authorized to reject the menaces of
war of which a certain party does not cease to talk.
Besides, whatever may be the .event on this
public opinion is not doubtful. A Journal
some titne ago urged us to give some explana,
thins on the funds. Here they_are : On the dal,

. -
that the
.newspapers announced movements of
troops towards the South, there was a sensible'
depression on the exchange. The day on which
the Journals, believed to be Ministerial, contra= •
diCied these movements, and the. sense which
was attached to them,- there wai a rise:
M. Chappe, director of the telegraph, is or- .
dered to establish a telegraphic line bet Ween
Paris and Bayonne:
Dantecourt, charged with Wpm] before the
Court of AsSize, has been convicted, and seu-
tented to five years hard labour.

SEer.!27.—The opposition [nude tbe 4 Con.
stitutional Journals against the decree of the 13th
Was- pleaded this tnorning before the Court of
Assize. Besides their principal reasons' for the
oppoSition, the responsible Editors had advanced
otherS somewhat as follows :
" Because the undersigned would have undoubtedly the right
to render public, in the form of judiciary memoirs, the debates
which are now to be opened, since they are personally interested
as partieS complained of.
" Because the insertion in the Journals of the pleadings may
be considered as standing in the place of memoirs. !
" Because it is besides agreeable to good manners and to jus...
tice that they should be at least authorised -to inf Orin their
readers. of all the details of a discussion in which they are per=
haps to be definitely condemned not to fulfil any more than a
part of their engagements with the public. • •
" May it please the Court to make (provisionally) an excep-
tion to the Decree of the 13th September, and declare that !it
shall be lawful for these Editors, whatever may be the decision
on the principal points; to give an account in their papers of the
pleadings on the present affair ?" • • . .
After hearing the Advocateg and the requisi..
tioti of the Advocate-General; M. de Broc, the
Court gave the following Decree :
" The Court having considered the acts, Ike.
"Considering that the Articles 15 and 16 of the law of
March 25, 182„ by assimilating the judiciary corps to the
Chambers, for the direct application of the Article 7th of the
same law, gi'es to the Courts and Tribunals .the. 'power of
judging without appeal, and . without being fi a bjec ted any
more than the Chambers to delays and determined tOrms, of
the account which the Journals and other Periodical papers giVe
of their proceedings.;
" That according to the terms of Article 15 of the recited
law, the responsible Editors of Journals summoned befbrt‘ the
Courta(sovereign judges in such 'Matters, like:the Chambers)
ought to appear on the first order to reply to all complaints, an::
der the penalty of suffering condemnations contradictory, Whet
ther it is that being properly -smmioned they neglect to appear,
or apearing they retire withoUt stating their defence.
' " That in all these•cases an appeal in cassation, agairrst an
arret not signified, constitute on the part of those who make
this appeal a formal acknowledgment that the arret has been
• given in opposition to them.
"That the effbct of an appeal is to deprive the Court which
has given the decree of its powei, to give it to the Court ok.
Caseation.
" Considering in fact that by the atiet of Sept. 12, of pre-
sent month, the Ceurt, after having heaid Fanchillpn,
Legracieux and CasSario; summoned to their bat,' to account-
for the report given in the Journals of which they are • the re.:
sponsible Editors,.of the pleadings. relative to the eonspirael of
Rochelle, has rejected the prejudicial means relied on by them,_
and particularly the principal one; the object of which *as
that they should be allowed to be heard on the merits of the
case, and has ordered that the cause being opposed, should
proceed.
" That by the arret of the 13th, the- Voiirt, prcieiiecling iii

Court, and in opposition pronounces on the,meriits of the.cw's

their opposition.
