[THE Times.]
We have aiready stated the advantages which
would result from the establishment of a direct
communication with Spain by means of Post-office
packets. An alarm has prevailed for some days
at Paris, that the intercourse via Bayonne would
be stopped by order of the French Government;
and numerous letters have in consequence been
transmitted from the capital of France to London,
for the purpose of having them forwarded to
Spain. It is quite needless, we suppose; to dwell
upon the expediency of maintaining; expediting,
and extending the communications between this
country and the Penimaila. The political inte-
rests, as well as the commercial, thereon de-
pending, are of the highest moment, and cannot
fail to have so i.npressed themselves upon the
minds of Ministers ; but peihaps a strong expres-
sion of die feelings entertained by the merchants
of Lontron, with regard to the, expediency of this
increase to our establishments, may be looked foe
as rt• desirable justification. If so; we have no
scruple in saying that a memorial' to Govern-
ment cannot be prepared too soon. The removal
of the Spainish Court to Seville would point out
Lisbon as the channel through which the Post-
office intercourse with the south, of Spain might
lie conveniently prosecuted ; and Bilboa, or
Corunna, situated as these places are with re-
gard to the northern Spanish Provinces, ought
to be likewise selected ; but it would be neces-
sary in the first place to appoint Post-office
agents at these several stations; and we repeat,
that the more speedily the arrangements are
made, the more beneficial it will prove to the
public.

DRITISIE PRESS. 3
Our private accounts of yesterday evening:
inform us that the Duke of Angouleme arrived
at the head-quarters of the army of the Eastern.
Pyrenees on the 22d ult. at live. lie dined at
the Hotel de la Prefecture, in company with the
French Marshal Moncey, and the Spanish traitor
d'Eroles. The report of the celebrated Mina
having entered the French territory, and attacked
d'Eroles on the 17th, appears to be premature,
as Mina was, by the accounts transmitted to us,
at Pertlius, in the Spanish territory, on the 18th.
Part of the French troops had marched from
Perpignan on the alarm being spread, but returned
again to protect the person of the Duke of An-
gouleme on its proving unfounded. A corps of
Royalists was surprised out the 6th at Estesa
de, Scare by the militia of Cervera, and dis-
persed with great loss. The Pilote of Sunday
morning, which reached us, does not state any
thing further respecting the conspiracy in the
French army, except that neither Colonel
Sausset nor any Aide-tie-Camp of General Guille-
minot have been arrested. The rumours of the
tricoloured cockade having been raised on the
frontiers, eat prevailed in Paris. The Qubti-
dienne of Saturday states, that. when Mina pre-
sented himself on the frontiers, be was not only
occompaoied by General Llobera, but with Col.
Fabvier, and-that they unfurled to the eyes of
the French troops a tri-coloured flag and an
fmperial Eagle. The Duke of Belluno passed
through Tours on the 20th, at live o'clock in the
evening, on his way to the army. A rumour cir-
culates in Paris, that the porkieuille, as Minister
of War, has been absolutely given to Dijecr, and
that Belluno is no longer in the French Cabinet.
From the proclamation of Moucey (the Duke of
Cornegliano) to his division, on taking the com-
mand, it would appear as if all.was not perfectly
htitmonious and obedient.

[monNING cunorpo.riii
Our contemporary of The New imet does not
seem to possess the nerve of The Courier, but ra.
ther shrinks now from the consequences of his
former doctrines respecting Spain. The Courier,
however, becomes more courageous as the crisis
approaches. On Friday last the latter did not
hesitate to avow himself the open and undisguised
advocate of the Bourbons and of their invasion
of Spain. ," In making war upon Spain (he
says) arms are employed against institutions and
doctrines, v, hich, if they were left unopposed,
would make war ultimately against all States."
This is the genuine language of better times.
We are carried back to the halcyon days oranti..

.
Jacobinism—tn the beginning of the revolutionary
war, when country 'Squires had not yet found out
all the charms of high taxation.--The New
Times, however, seems half-inclined to leave
King Ferdinand and the Inquisition and the
Monks fairly in the lurch.

" This wretched disjointed state of the unhappy kingdom of
Spain we deeply lament; and no one can more decidedly repro_
bate than we do the long course of misgovernment by which it
was brought into a state of so much misery and degradation.
—But if much of that misgovernment wits effected by the ab-
solute power of the King, more has been since caused by the
anarchy of the Cortes. We condemn both; but we think the
latter, if it could succeed~ would be the more fatal to Eu-
rope, because it is connected with the cause of Revolution in
all countries, and is managed by secret societies of Freemasons
ant) Coomuncros, which have a common understanding with the
setret societies of Carlionari, Illumines, &c. in other parts of
the COntinent, and a common object with the Radicals amt
Rebels in tireat,Britain anti Ireland. Such is the ground, and
such the extent of our antipathy to• what is so improperly term.
ed the Spanish Cause 1! but to Spain herself we wish all', at-
tainable blessingi, and,. above all others, Liberty, and Inde-
pendence. Far be IL from us to desire to see King Ferdinand
reestablished as an absolute Monarch—still less to see Spain
redueed to a dependence on France."'
. Lt is much no:doubt to obtain aconcession that
much of the misgovernment of Spain was owing
to the absolute power of the King. Arbitrary
power and misgovernment are bad'things ; but
then Revolutions are worse. What then is to
he done in order to get rid of absolute power ?

The King's kill, we-know, must have no violence
done to it. We must offer up prayers merely that
his heart may be softened, that he may see the
wickedness of his ways, and resign his arbitrary
power. In the present ease, our contemporary
will tell us, we have much to expect from
the advice of the leader of the French army on
his. Majesty. He will prevail on him to give the
Spaniards a Charter, and to burn the List of
Proscription drawn up with his own hand, in
which the names of the Members of the Cortes

were included. now, mtrch Europe will owe to
the liberating French army

[MO RIVING pos.r.]
French Papers to the 31st ult. arrived yester-
day. Their contents are not of much importance,
except so far as they mention the continuance of
military preparations, and the evident approach
of hostilities. The Ultra Journals deny the
movement said to have been made by Mina and
its results, and assert, that in posting detach-
ments on the frontier, that Commanders" did not
violate the French territory."--This may ap-
pear extraordinary on the part of writers who
seemed eager, a short time since, to prove
that violations of the French territory had ac-
tually taken place. But the change on their
feelings may be easily explained. Violations of
territory, at that period, would answer their par-
poser, by affording amore plautible colour for
their meditated invasions : but at present they
would only demonstrate a degree of strength and
confidence on' the part of the Spaniards which
it might not be deemed prudent to' reveal.—
Whilst the intelligence contained in these Jour-
nals is'so scanty and unsatisfactory, private ac-
counts received yesterday from a respectable
quarter, confidently assert that tire trench army
of the Pyrenees was to break rip on Saturday
and Sunday last, and to commence passing the
frontier yesterday and this day. In that case
all communications. with Madrid% by way of
France,• would be interrupted ; for it is not
likely that. the French troops would allow
our Courier to pass without seizing, or at
least examining, their dispatches and the only
mode'of receiving regular and direct intelligence,
would be to establish' a packet between this
country and Bilbao or Coranna. A Courier is
stated to have arrived on Sunday from Vienna
with dispatches for the Austrian Ambassador,
containing intel4igence of the march' of a Russian
Army for the French frontier. Whether this
statement be correct twits full extent, it is yet
too early to ascertain ; but if the event should
take place, although it might be attended with
most important consequences to the peace of the
whole world, it would, we belie, create but
little surprise.

[NEV Tl:llEs.]
Vie Paris Papers of Saturday and. Sunday have
been received, and contain many details of the
preparations for war. One of the most striking
facts mentioned in these Papers, if true, is the ap-
'pearance of Colonel Fabvier, together with Mina,
on the Spanish frontier, in presence of the French
troops,. to whom Fabvier islaid to' have displayed'
a tri-coloured flag and an Imperial Eagle ; but
without the slightest success. lie Was only an-
swered with shouts of Vive le Roil—We say the
appearance of Colonel Fabvier under these cir-
cumstances, if true, is very striking ; and we
hope it will tend to. open the eyes of our
Whig Politicians, who think (good easy souls!)
there are no such things as conspiracies and
Tottsptrators to be met Witt either abroad or at
homer Col. Fahvier is the person on whose sole
4authority the Edinburgh Reviewer: laughed to
scorn, the idea of a plot against the "'reach Go-
vernment at • Lyons in 1817. He had been, in
Buonaparte's time, an' AideAe-camp of Marshal
Marmont; and the Marshal being sent to' Lyons
in September 1817 by Louis XVIII. to examine
into the conspiracy, took Fabvier with him as
Qlliefof his Staff. General Cantle! and the other
Authorities of •Lyons happily quelled the
insurrection some months before : and Col. Fabvier
now published a pamphlet to prove that no plot,
no treason, no disaffection had ever existed, ex-
cept what was hatched by the arts of the
Royalists themselves. Decaze, the Minister of
that day, patronized Fabvier and persecuted Ca-
nuel—and now what do we see ? General Ca-
nuel commanding a loyal corps, in the service of
his King and Country ; and' Colonel Fabvier a,
traitor to his King; and' endeavouring to stir up
civil war in his country !
