Extracts from the Morning Papers) August 7.

[THE TIMES.]
The French Journals in the Government lute.'
rest betray much anxiety as to the consequences'
416 Duke d'Angouleme'ejourney to the south
of Spain. This need be attended with litth-A
'odder ; whether hiiilighness'gties to fight or tio4,
negoilate,,there are two objects for which he will
.hallll7 to -toil—the French army. to 'be saved:
from ruin, and the Bourbon Government from:
shame. In the mean tune We'tinty present ihOse
views of the crisis which we have reason to think
are entertained by individuals near the fountain-
head of foreign politics. The general state of
affairs throughout Spaiu gives much disquiet to
the French AdministratiOn. The outrageous
violence of those•who profess to be their allies
'has lost the Bourbons more ground than has been
gained by the mOst.successful movements of their.
.ftnny; and has' inspired the Cabinet of the
Tnileries with as much alarm as it has the
,chiefs
of the patriotic cause with confidtbnce and satisfac-
tion. in the northern 'provinces, the TrappiSt. and
other partisans of the Regency are acting as if they
thought the restoration of the old Government had
no other object than that of giving loose to their
own rapacity and'revenge. The Duke d'Angouleme
is so much disgusted with the Regency, that it is
thought they will be as much as possible passed
over by his Royal Highness in all his future pro-
ceedings. Yet he has created and formally ac-
knoivledged them : what an embarrassment has
he thus incurred ! In spite of this and other dif-
ticulties, it is said by the
.French Court and its
adherent 4; that on arriving at Port St. Mary's the
Generalissimoexpects to bringthe war in Spain to
a conclusion. The Illeaßs, indeed, are worthy
of such an agent and such a cause, for they con-
sist of simple bribery. his Royal Highness has
authOriZed the Most splendid promises, as we are
assured, to the leading members of the Cortes,
provided they will deliver up the King;, but as
none but very foolish knaves will either trust, or
'expect to be trusted, by men as unprincipled as
themselvesgnarantees, it appears, are talked of
•Its being necessary in favour of those Spaniards
who it is taken for granted will betray their coun-
try ; and the guarantee will be, that the Spaniards
thus bought by a foreign enemy are to have shelter,
first in the enemy's camp, and afterwards upon his
territory 7 front the just resentment of their own
conntrymen! Here, then, is a bribe worthy the
Spanish patriot's ambition. Instead of honour,
and power, and self-applause, with all those other
blessings Which follow in the train of un-
shaken fortitude and virtue, the boon proposed
is 'mere existence--a disgraced existence—to
terminate in, exile, gold, and infamy eternal ! If
such a project is to succeed, then, indeed, must
the patriots of Cadiz not, only be incapable of
reasoning, but be of that description of maniacs
whose motives and principles set at defiance
the reasoning faculty of ail other "men.—lt is,
however, pre-arranged by the Ultras, that
when they have got Ferdinand into their powe4
there will be no ftirtlwr military contest. The
entrance of his Majesty into the French camp,
and the consequent avowal of his personal de-
sires and intentions, are to convert all lovers of
rational liberty into follimers of the Bourbon
creed—that whether a King chooses to mono-
polize or to share the supreme power, it is equally
the duty of good subjects to uphold him in
either disposition.

[MORNING POST.]
We have been much amused, and some time
since should have been much surprised, at the
unprovoked and abusive language used towards
us by one of our Evening Contemporaries, once a
labourer in the same vineyard as ourselves, whoH
has lately honoured with its hostility, and.
branded as " Radicals" and 44 Revolutionists,"
those who loyally and stedfaitly support the
policy adopted by the Government and King of
their country. It appears that we have incurred
this awful visitation in consequence of having
published some clays ego, from unquestionable
authority, a Diary of a Journal kept on board
the Royal aciirge, the statement of which our
contemporary assumes to have been contradicted
by a 'letter printed in the Lisbon Papers as
corning from her Commander, Sir John Milley'
Doyle. Had our contemporary taken the trouble
of rending the Diary before he made this asser-
tion, he would have found that no part of its
contents had been invalidated by that letter.—
Fre would then no doubt have abstained from
advancing that which was not the case, but
Might still, if he pleased, have lavished his abuse
upon us. Shared as it is with such distinguished
characters as Mr, Canning, the Earl of Liver-
pool, nay with' our own magnanimous Sovereign
himself, whose liberal and patriotic line of policy
we avow ourselves guilty of supporting is
really air honour of which we should be loath to
be deprived.
