[THE TIMES.]
‘ll%e recommend to the attention of our readers
a curious article contained in the Journal des
Debuts of Wednesday last.—(Sce TILE SUN of
this day.)—The article possesses an official cha-
racter, and is cautiously drawn up, The first
sense ice in it will strike every one : it is this—
" The grand question of war with Spain still
" remains undecided," (reste toujours indecise).
We presume these few words will be found to
justify all that we have said recently on the pro-
bable approach of a rupture. No one can now
deny that war was intended. The question of
peace or war still remains undecided ! "
No
declaration," it is added, " no Ultimatum," (an
Ultimatum to what discussioirs F.) " has been sent
from " Verona to Madrid !" Has Spain, then,
we ask, acknowledged the right of the assembled

Congress to administer her private affairs? Has she

even an Ambassador there ? But more of this here-
after. Stilli tis acknowleged in the document be-
'fore us, if such we may term it, that though the
question of war is undecided, its commence-
ment is delayed ; and for these reasons (upon
which we shall afterwards have occasion to re-
, mark), that the Royal Family of Spain is found
-to' be in a less alarming state of dures.ye than had
hitherto been imagined, and that the zeal with
which the prosecution of the, offenders of the
7th July had been undertaken by the Fiscal, had
been mitigated by higher authority. These al-
leged symptoms of moderation in the predomi-
nant party of Spain, have, it appears, had such
an effect on the counsels of France, that they
may be said to have kept the uplifted arm sus-
pended, without suffering it to fall.

[NEW TIMES.]

Every friend to-the real respectability of the
Press must have pursued with regret an article in
The Mornina Chronicle of yesterday, on the case
of SusannaCWright. This wretched and shame-
less woman, who is a relation and confederate
with the notorious Carlile, had been found guilty
of publishing a blasphemous Libel ; and she was
brought up for judgment, " attended," says The
Morning Chronicle," by several females!" Are
not these circumstances quite enough to shock
every reflecting mind ?—Has any thing like them
ever been knaWn before the present times ?.
Blasphemy, from any lips is shocking ; but from
those of a female it is beyond expression horrible.
And yet here is not only one abandoned creature,
who has cast off all the distinctive shame,
and fear, and decency, of her sex ; but her
horrid example has depraved the minds of
others, who are perhaps already mothers
of families, or to whom the temporal and
eternal happiness of a future offspring may be
committed ; and these monsters in female form
stand forward, with hardened visages, in the face
of. day, to give their public countenance and
support—for the first time in the history of the
Christian world—to. gross, vulgar, horrid bias-.
pltemy ! We repeat, this is the first time in the
history of the Christian world, that a body of
women has defied all shame, and trampled upon
ail decency, in so - profligate and daring a
manner—in a manner at which the lowest
prostitutes would shudder ! It is manifest that
these female brutes came prepared, not only to
applaud chat the She-Champion of Impiety
had already done ; but to hear her load with fresh
iusults the law of her country and the law of her
God. She had been furnished by some lurking
assassin of the faith, and hope, and happiness of
his fellow-creatures, with a volume of new atro-
cities ; and it is because she was not suffered to
read the whole of it through—because her as-
Sbciates were deprived of some portion of the
demoniac pleasure they expected—because the
ears of her Christian auditors were partly spared
the torture which she wished to inflict on them—
therefore it is that The Morning Chronicle com-
plains !

[MORNING r0.r.11
French Papers to the 14th inst., confirm the
expectations which we had formed and expressed,
that the union between the French Ministers and
the Ultras would not be of long duration, and
that the idea of invading Spain would be conse-
quently abandoned. The secession has already
taken place. Whilst the Quotidienae continues
to breathe forth the most ardent wishes for war,
and to speak of its immediate commencement as
of a settled point on which all doubt has ceased
to exist, the Journal des Dads, the avoyed organ
of the Ministers, returns to its former senti-
ments, and declares that, with the exception of
The case in which the lives of Ferdinand and his
brothers should be threatened (which, it adds,
they are not), " France must do every thing to
avoid and to prevent a war with Spain." It then
justly argues " that between two independent
mations, the right of armed interference cannot
be founded on the fact of one of them having
adopted a bad Constitution, so long as it does
not seek to impose it on others ; " and that the
danger resulting to France from the Constitution
of the Cortes " is nothing in comparison to that
which would afise from investigating any Con-
gress whatsoever with the right of supreme re-
vision over existing Constitutions which have been
mcognized in a legal and diplomatic manner."

[BRITISH PRESS.]

The Paris Papers up to Thursday have arrived.
The renles left off on Wednesday at 881. 90c.;
they had been done previously- so high as 891.
.51k. In the absence of actual intelligence no
adverse conclusion is to be drawn from this de-
cline. It is nothing more than the reaction that
may IA expected to follow the impulse given to
public, confidence by the refutation of the late
warlike rumours, extensive speculation, and a
violently agitated market. The. waves do not
entirely subside immediately after the storm
has ceased. The Jourmal des 'Mats, to a
late political article in which is attributed a
great portion of the late alarm, has put forth
another, but of a very different quality. That
Ministerial Print we find can blow hot and
