cold. The former article was warlike, intimated
a design on the lives of the Spanish Princes, and
threatened the march of a French army into
Spain. In the present article all its fears and
threats are forgotten. The personal danger of
the Princes is regarded as a very remote contin-
gancy, and it is declared that an hostile interfe-
rence in the internal state of Spain, is neither the
intention of France nor consistent with her inte-
rest.

[MORNING HERALD.]

The most accredited of those French Jour-
nals, which recently tended to spread the alarm
of a war between France and Spain, seem now
studiously retreating from their own statements
and speculations. The invasion' of Spain is
treated as a barely possible, but improbable con-
tingency ; and the Congress:, so late as the sth inst,
had yet agreed upon no Declaration—no" Ultima-
tum," to be offered to the Spanish Government or
Cortes. Ultimatum! the very word is ominous of de-
lay. how long was the Russian Ultimatum banded
between Constantinople, Vienna, and Peters-
burgh ?—These Ultimata even seem like last
wills and testaments, to have the privilege of
succeeding and superseding each other, not-
withstanding the soleciSm in language. In
the course of the late negociations in the East,
at least three Ultimata were said to have
been administered by the Emperor of Russia
to the Divan. W e need not observe how long
that negociation was protracted, and that the
matter of it is still undecided. It is not at all
probable that the Sittings at Verona will be
equally protracted ; but we think the invasion
of Spain, like the invasion of Turkey, may for
some time yet remain a matter of doubt and sice-
culation ; perhaps neither one nor the other will
for the present take place.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
Confidence revives gradually in the City, as
the late stock-jobbing scheme becomes better un-
derstood ; but it will take some days before the
public can recover perfectly from the shock they
have received. The more, Irowever, the subject
is discussed, the sooner are the real causes
likely to be understood. That the French
Ultras have all along looked at the changes in
Spain with a jealous and malignant eye, will
readily be allowed by those who have watched
their politics and seen the great sacrifices they
have been making to counteract them. They had,
in fact, worked themselves up to the actual con-
viction that their own political existence was
in the most imminent danger, as long as free
principles prevailed in the Peninsula, and they
determined to root them out by every means in
their power. Still they wanted both a sanction
and an opportunity for the aggression they medi-
tated. For the first their Representatives were
instructed to apply to the Congress of Verona ;
their application has, however, hitherto been vain.
The second they considered they had securely
before them, when the advices reached Paris that
the Infantes of Spain were to undergo a judicial
examination, which was exaggerated and instantly
interpreted into personal danger to the Members of
the Bourbon family, and for the moment the
terrified inmates of the Pavilion Marsan had no-
thing before their eyes but the bleeding figures
of Louis 16th, and the Duke d'Enghien. Let
us rescue their sacred persons from the hands
of their ruffian enemies, was the general cry at the
Thuilleries—no more blood of the race of Saints
shall be spilt. In short, in the high councils of
the Pavillon Marsan an instantaneous war was
resolved upon—the fact got wind, and yet the
elements with which it was to be waged,
or the consequences with which it would be
followed, in the hurry and anxiety of the
moment, were almost entirely overlooked. As soon
as calm and deliberate reflection was a little
restored, and as soon also as certain Members of
the French Cabinet were made acquainted with
the scheme, difficulties arose which before had
not been thought of. They were, in fact, of t! e
most imperious, kind, and the whole project has
ended in a complete and sudden change in French
policy.

CAMBRIDGE Ex,EcnoN.—The sensation which
has been excited by the diversity of pretensions
on which the several Candidates of this Univer-
sity rest their claims, has by no means subsided;
and we are of opinion that. it has in some degree
increased, by the decided manner in which Mr.
Bankes has avowed his principles on a subject of
such vital interest as that of Catholid Emancipation.
Indeed the sense of the Universty having been
so frequently expressed on this important ques-
tion, it may be fairly presumed, that a majority
of the resident members of the senate- will sup-
port Mr. Bankes at the approaching contest. In.
a former paper we stated our perfect convinction
of the Speaker's return, had that Right Hon.
Gentleman persevered in his canvass ; and we are
informed that a considerable number of the votes
which had been pledged to the Speaker, have
been promised to Mr. Bankes. The other can-
didates having so long been engaged in the can-
vass, it might he expected that their relative
strength would ere this have been generally ru-
moured; but from what we have been able to learn,
we are not aware that either of them expresses any
certainty as.to the result of the election. We must
not, however, forget to notice, that the Whigs,
with their usual confidence, triumphantly pre-
dict a majority in favour of Mr. Scarlett. The
only possible ground on which that party can
Venture to assume such a tone, must rest on
the number and variety of the competitors ;
for it is well known that the prevalence of Whig
principles is comparatively small in the Univer-
sity. Lord Hervey and Mr. It. Grant continue
their exertions for the distinguished honour now
in view ; and notwithstanding the diligence and
perseverance with which their respective friends
second their claims, the voice of public fame
scarcely anticipates the final success of either of
those gentlemen. We must, however, observe,
that although we have, thus endeavoured to col-
lect the rumours of the day, it is but fair to state,
that from the circumstance of the great majority
of the voters being non-resident, it is scarcely
possible to form a correct idea of the issue of the
contest, as it regards the present caudidates.—
