" The King of France is decided for peace : Monsieur and
die Duke of Angouleme are now known to entertain the same
pacific views. Even the Duke of Montmorency, the supposed
champion of the war-patty, professes to have no warlike inten-
tions. How, then, is it, you will naturally ask, that the quest
tion is not at Once set at rest by some decisive declaration ?
The fact is, that all the hesitation and delay is to be ascribed
to the difficulty of, getting well out of a scrape. Trance feels
that she has committed herself, and does not know how to ex:
tricate herself from a situation bordering on the ridiculous;
she is therefore Waiting for some opportunity of backing out
gracefully. A few facts will explain this matter fully : Mont-
morency, at Verona, expected at first to find the Allies unani-
mously' ready to make war on Spain. The Duke of Welling.
ton used such forcible arguments against such a proceeding,
that the French Ambassador abandoned all hope on that point;
but he obtained the recognition (already published in the Mo-
niteur) that France had the right of herself to make war, and
that she might do so if she pleased. Montmorency pressed hard
for something more ; and after long' discussion it was agreed that
Russia, Austria, and Prussia,would,undet certain circumstances,
withdraw their Ambassadors from Madrid, provided France did
the same. Montmotency pledged his Government to this arrange.
ment,and the Congress broke up. M. de Villele, however, refuses
to ratify such an agreement; he argues, that if the question is left
to Franee,she has a fight to settle the affair in her own way, and
ought not to be required to co-operate with other Governments
in measures which may defeat, instead of expediting, her ob.
jects : that, especially, she ought not to be called upon to take
a step which, by cutting off all negotiation with Spain, would
probably preclude all possibility of a pacific result. Mont-
morency, however, felt his personal character involved, and
obstinately adhered to the incautious pledge which he hid
given. Such was the state of the French Cabinet when the
Duke of Wellington arrived at Paris. The ease was stated
to him ; and before he gave his opinion, he requested
to be informed whether there was any intention of going to
war with Spain ? He then learns that the King, 'Monsieur,
the Duke of Angouleme, and the majority a the French
Cabinet were decided against war; nay, that N. de Mont-
morency himself meant to be content with the recal of the
French Ambassador from Madrid, and had no idea of hos-
tile interference with the Spanish Government. Fortified
with this knowledge, the Duke of Wellington asked. why
the French Government, seeing that her intentions were pa-
cific, should have recourse to a measure which was at least
offensive, and which could hardly fail to lead to id:in:ate
hostilities. The King of France and the Princes of the
blood yielded to this reasoning; and the French Minister will
remain at Madrid. The natural result of such a decision seems
to be the dismissal of Montmorency, from the Cabinet; for the
difference between him and N. de Villele is too great, and—
what is of more consequence—is considered by the former in too
personal alight, to admit of their acting together. The King
of France, however, feels a justifiable hesitation in disgracing a
respectable servant, and the instantaneous dismissal of Mont-
morency would have that appearance. Matters, therefore, will
probably remain as they are, till the meeting of the Chambers,
when Villele, who is certain of a majority, will carry a mo-
tion in approbation of his own view of this important question.
Montmorency must then yield, and lie and his ultra coadjutors
in the Cabinet will make
,room (it is to be hoped for ever) for
more moderate and wiser counsellors.
