luMinous eviince, reported the tifit to the '
House " without any Amendment;" so that
unless their Lordships would agree to some
Amendment on ate third reading (which is stated
to be very unlikely), no further question on the
Bill can be raised in the House' of Commons. If
the Lords altered or added to the 13411, such al,
terations or additions must have the sanction of
the Commons, which would open the question
anew in the Lower House; but otherwise, the
Lords, by message, inform the other House that
they have agreed to the Bill, on which proceed-
ing no question can be raised. in the event_of
the Bill receiving the sanction of the Lords on
Wednesday, of which no doubts are entertained,
tite Bill, it is at resent expected, will not re-
ceive the Royitl Assent by Commission, but it
will be given to it by his Majesty in person, on
the prorogation of Parliament on Friday or Sa-
turday next.

[MORNING CURONICLE.]
In another column will be found a long article
under the head German Papers, which is under,
stood to be a sort of official Exposition of the
Views of Russia, regarding the Affairs of Western
Europe. Triumphant as the Holy Mlles tiow
conceive themselves to be, it is much that they
condesCend at all to explain their views to us, or
to offer any arguinents in support of them. We
seldom endeavour to convince where we have the.
power to compel. The West India Planter does
not lay before his slaves the
,reasons for his Con.
duct, or demand their approbation of them.—
We hail, therefore, this condescension on the
part of the Autocrat as a good sign—as a proof
that persuision,is still not altogether unnecessary.
in Western Europe. There is yet, it would appear,
a power, which they who wield the word. feel
themselves oblige& to conciliate—the power of
opinion. It is true, the Allies are not so fond of
listening to the reasons of others, as of offering
their own ; but the reasons on one side not en-
frequently suggest the reasons by which they
may be met. A reasoning Turk is in a fair way.
to become an Infidel. In the, present case we
have, in the first place, a pretty distinct avowal of
the motives for the irtirtiAou of Spain. Two
causes of alarm were to be iiknoved :—the state
of the Western Peninsula and that of France,
" the latter doubtless the most important to' Eu-
" rope." " The problem was (it is said with
much naivete) to make use of a nation not yet
tranquillized), to bring back another nation
and with that all Europe to fully conso-
lidate repose. The foundation of the pro-
ceedings adopted was n just view of the
history and character of the French nation.—
which in the noble occupations of war and &ye..
loped national activity alWayslorgot the dis Cords
which, spread by the evil-minded, threatened to
,destroy the national prosperity. Thu history of
the last six months proves the correctness of this
estimate of the French character, and the wis-
dein of the measures adopted.' A %vas must be
got tip to afford a vent for the military propen-
sities of the French!, that in this nobhs occu-
pation they may allow their Government to
do what it ph:inapt at borne t Like children,
employment must be found for them to keep them
out of mischief—the noble employment of rut-
ting the throats of their unoffending neighbours.
This is so far a return to the old system, when
the business of governing in every country was
in a great measure Confined_ to the discovering
causes of quarrel with neighbours, to obtain a
full field for the development of national activity
—War was the 'great business, and •Price was
only with regard ta it what sleep is to the body.
English Men were natural enemies of Frenchmen,
and nothing could be more glorious than for an
Englishmatv and a Frenchman to cut each other'S
iroats for that which would benefit neither.
