[THE TIMM] '
What the Holy Allies of the Bourbons con-
• ceive may be the final exigencies of the house of
Bourbon, arising out of their attempt on Spain,
is pretty discernable from the two admissions of
our Foreign Secretary yesterday evening, in
reply to Mr. Brougham—first, that a Russian
army has been collected on the Vistula second,
that the Austrian forces agreed upon have eva-
cuated Naples and Piedmont ; bu•t without hav-
ing, to Mr. Canning's knowledge,• yet got out
of the 'Milanese—a• Movement which wily be
indispensable to sliew that Austria feels• se•
cure as to the success of the Bourbons in
their enterprise. Until intelligence shall arrive
from Spain through some more respectable
channel than that of the Bourbon bulletins,
it will be impossible for any man to pronounce
with confidence on tile real character of the
events which have taken place between the
Bidassoa and the Ebro. Negatively, it is not so
very difficult to speak. It is plain that', the
French army has not done what its Government
expected, and what the paid writers of that
Government predicted would be the natural and
all but immediate consequence of an'army of loyal
and liberating Frenchmen shewing themselves on
the Spanish• territqry. They have not released
King Ferdinand from what is thraldom only to a
tyrant—the controul of law and- of a defined
constitution ; or restored him to that species of
Royal glory which consists in• the wretchedness
of all who are not Kings. The French army
have not yet overthrown the Government of the
Cortes. They have not corrupted the Spanish
officers, nor dispersed the soldiers ; nor, failinglo
thin the ranks of the patriots, have they sensibly
recruited the Army of the Faith. But, in a word,
the stake for which the French Ultras threw was
one, which, so far us negative evidence goes,they
appear to have lost already. All their hope de-
pended, on the numerical weakness of the Spa-
nish army us compared with that of the Hour-
bons—not on the apathy or indifference of the
Spaniards towards their new constitution, but
on their enthusiasm in favour of the olti despotic
Government. If the Spaniards were not,. as
the refugee traitors most falsely describe them
at the Tuileries—if the bulk, or a very large
portion of the Spanish people were not pre-
pared to rise against the Constitution—to
overthrow the Cortes, and fOr that purpose
to join the invading army from pure sentiment
and without pay, it must, we assert, have been
regarded by every reasonable being, the wildest
of all, iniquitous projects to attempt an invasion
of so extensive a country al' the Peninsula.—
Suppose the body of the Spanish nation quite
indifferent, which they are not, to the' constitu-
tion of 1812—and that is the opinion most flat-
tering to the Ultras which any man now ventures
to offerr—we say, that is not enough. Such a
balanced or inert state of mind is not sufficient
ti justify the least hope of ultimate success for
the •invaders, All the world admits that there is at
Instil great and numerous body of the nationoot
indifferent respecting the entrance of a'-French
-army into Spain. No one is hardy enough to
deny that a considerable portion of the people of
Spain, and they the most affluent, enlightened,
and enterprising, are really incensed at the very
thought of their country being overrun• by
foreigners—the. uumber of men in arms-,-the
method and union with which they act—the de-
'tertiou of their homes by all but the poorer sort,
-who have not the Input's of locomotion ;—these
facts prove that there exists an active power
opposed to the French, and nothing, at best, but
a mere vi: inertiw in their favour. What is the
ultimate tendency of such a distribution of forces,
we leave to the reason of our readers.

[MOUNING •CURONICIALI
Some important questions as to the Russian
arid Austrian Armies were asked last night by
Mr. Orougham ; but the answers were not of a
very tranquillising nature Mr. Canning al-
, towed that there Was a Russian army on the
Vistula, but ohether large or small he did not
know; that the Austrian troops were out of the
Piedmontese and Neapolitan territories, but
whether out of the Milanese he also did not know.
We dare say, the Right Him. Gentleman could,
in both cases, have given a shrewd guess as to
the real state of niatters.—lt gave us great sa-
tisfaction to perceive in the discussion on the
Petition against the Spitalfields Acts, the
progress which sound principles have made in
the ,course of the last twenty years. We remem-
ber.the time when that Acf, in favour of which
not" a word was said by any one Member, had
more eulogists than censurers in the llotte. It
was part of the wisdom of oar ancestors to inter-
fere:As mach its possible With the manner in
which individuals carried on their different pur-
suits. Of this sort of wisdom there was no lack in
the,Spitalfields ;Acts. The framers had, as they
thought, effectually settled the manner in which
the manufacture should he carried, on ; but a
slight difficulty has occarred, of which they never
probably dreamt ; the manufacture itself has taken
its leave of Spitalftelds and joined the other manu-
facturers in the North, where they are hi the
enjoyment of the liberty they love. It has lost
nothing by the change of scene, for while Spital-
fields, under the special protection of the Legis-
lature and justices of the Peace, is decaying
fist,l and clings to the.old silk-loom brought into
this' country by the French Refugees, the other
pariii of' 'the country less 'powerfully protected
are, lij-the,pOssession of improved machinery rind
r. ime ledipractices,---and the Manufacture, now
becitiirie'mnSt extensive, promises to vie with our
great ;• staples. Mr. fluskisson stated, that he
hirtriitif been, one week' in: 'dice till he had.
turn 4 hib-(attention to the subject; and as he
has 'kpressed, deterinination to remedy the
evil (vithout.regard'i to' prejudices, we may yet
gee Spi la Vie eriierge front its present misery
and"dekession. We must say, every credit is
due to that Right Hon. Gentleman, Mr. Wallace,
ind" Mr. Itobiason,. for their exertions to relieve

'the trade anti industry of the country from inju-
dicious restrictions. Much, however, remains to
be done, especially in this capital, where mono-
polies and restraints of all sorts prevail to a ruin-
ous extent. A discussion followed on the sub-
ject of the Scotch Linen Manufacture, which has
also been a sufferer from the kindness of the Le-
gislature.

[MORNING POST.
An anxiety the most natural is manifested by
those who have devoted themselves to the task of
advocating the present policy of France, in de-
fiance of the loud and unanimous reprobation of
the whole people of this country, to discover some
point in respect tolvhich the conduct of the British
Government—a. conduct in all its parts strictly
in unison' with• the national mind—is likely to
lead to consequences detrimental to the wel-
fare or derogatory to the honour of the
State. An attempt of this nature has been
recently made, which we are induced to
describe, from the notion that as it completely
expeses the straits to which certain advocates
in ,England are reduced, it may contribute in
some degree to the amusement of our Readers. ,
These profound politicians foresee an impending
calamity they dive deep to discover the cause
of the danger, and they strain their patriotic
faculties to suggest the means by which it may
be averted. We think we shall do enough if we
spew that the alleged cause of the expected evil
never existed—that the anticipated evil itself
is a ridiculous vision; and finally, that if the
danger were a real one, the means proposed for
averting it are the most inapplicable preposterous.
The indiscreet conduct of the British Govern-
ment, from which the evil is to flow, consists, it
'seems, in having mixed itself up in the confusion
attendant upon revolution, and in having prema.
- turely considered the contest in Spain between the
People and their Sovereign as terminated. This is
the cause, forsooth, of the impending calamity.
When and how, we ask, did the British Government
mix itself up with the Spanish Revolution ? Unless
the mere abstaining from interference in the in-
(ternal regulations of an independent State
amounts to a mixing up with its concerns, or un-
less the maintenance of diplomatic relations
;with any Government de facto creates by some
new law an identity with such Government,
we profess we are quite at a loss to know how
this mixing up could have -Wert effected.
Nor is it very easy to perceive how • we could
prematurely consider a contest to be terminated,
which it would have been evidently premature to
consider as begun ; of the beginning of which,
.we till this hour have no official and direct
knowledge ; and of which the importance is now
only recognised by that foreign power which
undeniably excited and strengthened it, and
which now boasts of its assistance. England had
matter of complaint against Spain, and she de-
manded redress of the Spanish Government.—
lier demand was followed by a treaty, stipulating
the kind and degree of redress she was to receive?
Could any course be plainer or less ambiguous?
Was England to remain silent under positive and
accumulating injury, till Spain, from being a
divided, should become an unanimous country I
Was she to attempt the erection of such a govern-
ment as she approved, in order to treat with
greater security ? Or, in fine, ought she to have
made war at once without troubling herself by
negociation ? Perhaps none of these courses
would hare satisfied these new critics upon
the conduct of their own Government.—
Probably the complaints of England should
have been submitted to those eminent war-
riors and statesmen, the brave and enlightened
leaders of the bandits of the Faith ! Or, per-
chance, in patient anticipation of the day when
tha political affairs of Spain are to be trans-
acted at the Tuileries, the remonstrances of
England might have been more properly laid at
the foot of the French throne ! Since the con-
duct of England has really been such as to mix
her up with the causes of revolution, one or
other of these measures might have identified
her with the exalted names of national honour
and national independence !

hIORNING HERALD.]
The French Journals have, of late, been as bar-
ren of interest as the French campaign of incidents. One of the
few articles of any interest that we have observed, is on the cha-
racter and administration of Mr. Canning. It is written with
candour, more correctness of judgment in viewing Enlish poli-
tics and parties, than Frenchmen, even those who have the
highest pretensions, usually show—and it bears the most liberal
testimony to the talents of the Right Hon. Secretary. We shall
give one short extract from it_premising only that the passage
which we give, follows a long train of reasoning, tending to-
prove that Mr. Canning was compelled, by the false position in
which he was placed, on his accession to power, to the neces.
shy of deferring somewhat to the opinions of a portion of his
colleagues who sympathise with the Holy Alliance, and to the
cource of policy followed by his predecessor to act an indecisive
part in the negotiations. Whether all this be correct is an-
other question. At all events, the opinion of a foreigner
who shows both candour and intelligenceis not without some in-
terest. The following is the passage, with which the article
nearly concludes :—" lit sides the difficulty of suddenly assum-
ins a change of tone, and coining to a rupture, at least in worth,
with the Continent, Mr.-Canning may have had other reasons
for hesitating to use menace for the preservation of peace.
—The necessary preparations would have, been expensive.—
I t was moreover uncertain, whether France should succeed. If
France did not •suceeed, England. would have saved.expence,
France been exhausted, and Spain unsubdued. These are rea-
sons not to be disdained in English policy. nut if France suc-
ceed, what becomes of the calculation of Mr. Canning...-and if
on the other hand,France be not victorious; and other powers—
one or pore---cause France to accept their aid (fessent accepter
tear: moon ), what becomes then of the calculation of 3lr.
cenning ? Is it not evident in either case, that the two sys.
tens, that of England and that of the Holy Alliance, must
come into collusion ? And then what has the English Ministry
gained, but merely the postponing the difficulty ? This dilem-
ma is certainly a pressing one, it, the premise be allowed—viz.
that the subjugation of by France, or .the coming of the
Russians to the aid of defeated France, would of necessity draw
this country into the war. It is to be ,remembered that Mr.
Canning maintained that the dispute was an isolated one 4e-
tween FranCe and Spain.. This would alter the question, anti
there would still remain a contingency, in the event Of which
place might be preserved—the success of the Spaniards. ,

[Mow TI M Es.;
An eulogiqm on Carlile,, the keeper of the
" Mart for Sedition and Blaspliemy,". very properly found
• a place in the same debate in which the Constitutional Associa.
non was vilified. No doubt all the Speakers on that aide
' of the question were sincere; but were their opinions such as
became the Representatives of a Christian People?—,such •as
evinced a sympathy with genuine English feeling ?...Were they
not, in short, perfectly new within the walls of Parliament ?
As \to the Gentleman who thought Carlilo's punishment too
severe, we should like to know what. his general ideas of
punishment are. Here is a man, who, from being a 'Avian.,
supported by charity, becomes, first, the assistant to a dealer in
seditious pamphlets, then engages in- that trade himself,
invests (it is said) the profits. of his first adventure in
a second, and so on till he becomes a large wholesale ven.
