and his colleagues, and that of the other 3/inisters-at Verona,
respecting the affairs of the Peninsula.
The main point is, does.such a difference of opinion respect-
ing the cause of the war really, exit ? We think not. Even
the papers bath before Parliament show that England must be
as hostile to revolutionary movements in E astir" as other nations.
and they prove that British Ministera.considered the political
changes in the Peninsula_ as opposed tnalie existing European
system, Would they else have earnestly advised modifications
in the constitution of Madrid ?
But the Congress of Verona never asked any thing more than
modifications, and an assimiration of the Spanish Constitution
with' those of other States ; but all representations made to the
Spanish Government were fruitless. , The King, who at the
beginning of the revolution had decidedly expressed himself
against it, became, from the day that he was deprived of the
Cuneil chosen by himself, a passive instrument oFthe party
in power, a prisoner without any influence in the Government.
/Bs present Ministers and the Cortes rejected, with,.pride, and
even With contempt, every proposal for conciliation.
The Sovereigns, who had already shown in the cases of
Naples. and Piedmont their firm adherence to the system they
bad adopted for the welfare of the nations, could not hesitate. in
the 'case of Spain, especially as civil war hadi already broken out
in that kingdom. France was here the most interested, as
Austria had been in the affairs of Naples; and the duty of in-
terference was so evident, that the Allied Sovereigns not only
approved the interference of France in the affairs of Spain, but
even invited the King of France 'to employ it. The only
difference with the Lnglish Cabinet was about the mode
of interference. It' merely objected to the entrance of; the
French troops into Spain—this was all. • lled it had a positive
interest to prevent this armed interference, it would, in the eon-.
sciousness of its own power and influence, have used other lan.
guage. England did not fear any thing from the war - but from
t slims ible consequences it apprehended thatibe new policy which
disinterestedly Reeks the repose of Europe, might degenerate
into the old policy, where interest predominated. It feared no.
thing else ; • this,was the sole ground:on Which England refused
its assent to the war; for, on the principles which led to the
war, it agreed with the other powers ; whether the moderation
and wisdom of the Allied Sovereigns give any reason for such
apprehension time will show, unless it is shown already, as we
affirm to be the case. From the war. between France and
Spain, no other war will arise.
We have been told that, the English nation, full of en-'
thusiiisin for the Spanish Liberals, is ready to ke up arms
for them. In this as in other points we have not been told
the truth, With what ardour have the Parliament approved
the neutrality resolved on by Ministers. lion decidedly was
the niotion to repeal .the Foreign Enlistment Bill' rejected—
a motion, that was evidently favourable to the Spaniards. We-
must leave it to the public to judge of the correctness of our
observations ; but we think the calm observer, who reinem-
beis what his country and himself have suffered, and appre-
ciates the peace they now enjoys will acknowledge that the re..
solution taken at Verona. intended the real happiness of Idni
and his fellow-citizens. Russia will always. look back with
pride on, this period of; her history, and: on her great Monarch
who disinterestedly employs his. vast power in securing the-
peace and tranquillity of the whole world.
