MA nrun, DLC. '21.--At the moment of the
courier leaving Madrid the greatest tranquillity
prevailed.—The Royal Chateau of Pardo is fit-
ting up, and the Journals inquire for whom ?
Some say it is for the Duke of Wellington, and
others for the Queen of Portugal, sister of Fer-
dinand VII. _ _ _

(-Extract of a Fr kale Lttter.)

Attorttp, DEC. 9.4.—The invectives, the in.
cults, aril the false matem en ts of the Ultra-Journ a 1..; of France,liave
SC-Aredy excited the attention of our Journals, in which the sang
(raid and firmness which charm:tulle the nation maybe constant-
. Ly recognized. The only Journal which hart appeared worthy of

a'refutation is, the Jimmied*: DAM; as the organ
of the more reasonable intrtclf:the Ifilidstri. The Especiador,
of the 23d; and theiffiltirie4V the tititil;lienctii lit correcting
the numerous errors (rerittliAtted, na donbt„-with good faith) In
the number of that Paper of Dec. 13.
,The Spanish 4ournalists
are not astonished at the Cliluthnious rumours' circulating in
France : they know that they are carried there by men, who,
after having taken. arms against their country, must, no doubt,
look upon it as a duty to abuse it.

" What individual," tiays the Journal des Dave,'" is safe
from imprisonment, and what prisoner is beyond, the reach of
the fatal hammer ?"

" We shall-uotstop," says the Expectador, " to contradict
this calumny; we shall content ourselves with saying that the
accused of the 7th July are yet to be tried. Even those of
Cadiz have not yet been brought to trial. Where, then, is this
furious haste with which we are reproached ?"
" Do not soldiers revolt every day against their leaders ?"

Where, then, are these revolters : No, the Spanish army
knows that, without discipline, there is neither honour nor mi-
litary glory. Its triumphs are the most convincing proofs of
Its discipline and obedience to its Chiefs. But perhaps the
French Journalist would allude to the revolt of the Guards ?
" Is not Zaldivar in Andalusia ?"
The Ultra must provide another Royalist Chief in Andalu-
sia. They have invented in Gallicia a Joannis, of whom no
one has ever heard speak. .
" Jahne, near Murcia ?" •

Is it poisible to speak of Jaime without blushing, in a poll.
deal question ? Who, tlrenfis ignorant that Jaime was a high.
way robber and a brigand, outlawed under the absoltne regime
as well as under liberty, under the Inquisition and the. Monks,
is well as under the reign of the law and morals ?
" And does all this come from foreigners ?"
What then ? If with unexampled perfidy rebellion is excited
and fomented in the frontier provinces of Spain, andthe malcon-
tents arc kept up by the hope of aid ; when, in consequence of
these plots, the Spanish Government is obliged to assemble, in
the provinces where the fire of sedition has shewn itself, those
troops which are allotted to the duty of the other provinces, can jt
be said that the insurrections in the interior are not the work of
foreigners ? And besides, what are the chiefs to befound in the
province of Santander ? Whence come they P Where does Car.
villas go to sell his booty but to Jews of Sancti Spirits P

" A true rage for Inquisitions, condemnations, ankproscrip-
dons, seems to have got potsesion of the Cortes since their
establishment in 1820."

We appeal from this to the amnesty granted to those who had
followed the foreign King, and whom the humane absolute re.
gime had banished from their country ; to that granted to the
dissidents of America, of whom the greater number groaned in
dungeons ; to the pardon granted to the Pews, whom the law
then in force condemned to capital punishment:; to the amnesty
granted to the factious of Salvatierra, and to so many others. It
is a glory that cannot be refused to the Liberals called the Li'.
bends of 1014, that they have only left their chains to break
the chains of others, and protect their own enemies: May they
not one day be reproached for having pushed this generosity
too far ?

" They proscribe those who have sent them to dor galleys
arid those who have delivered them thence."

Neither of these little coterie:, Of which the Journal des
Mats speaks, has released the Liberals from the galleys.—
Was even the alleviation of their fate ever thought of ? Many
of those who had then power in their hands, and who now wish
to be considered as more patriotic and more friendly to liberty
than those who have exposed their life for it, ought to remem.
ber this.

" The Jorephinor arc condemned, though friends of the Con.
stitutional Monarchy."

The Jorrphinos owe a little more to liberty than to despo-
tism. And if we wished to tell the whole truth, .the French
Journalist would see, that instead of being condemned, some
among them wish to condemn others. The Jusephinos have
not always been so well treated by the Journal des Debuts.

" The Perscs are condemned as partizans of despotism, al-
though they ask for the ancient Cortes."

The Perses have not been punished for their opinions, but
for their crimes,—the crimes of having violated their oaths, and
sold the liberty which had been entrusted to them. Many of
them, we do not say all, have been for mix years haughty despots
or sanguinary persecutors. Do you wish to know the attach-
meat that prevails .for .the ancient Cortex ? Read the Procla-
mations of the pretended Regency of Urgel, and see the de-
mand of Mate Florida, the Coryphteus of the 69. Do you
wish to know what they would have ? The Inquisition and
an absolute government.
The famous Journal, the Scourge."
Famous ! and since when ? Among the Ultras no doubt.—
Nothing is more natural than to boast one's own works. Let
the French Ultras give the Zurriago the epithet of famous ; one
may he rendered famous as touch by evil as by good.
" It will be necessary to consider Spain as a barbarous coun-
try, like the Empire of Morocco, or the Regency of Algiers."
This is not the first time that we are used to be treated thus.
A long time since we have heard, that Spain is out of Europe,
and ought rather to be considered as belonging to Africa. Let
us be left then to our,barbarisin ; for it is supremely ridiculous
to take so many preeautions against people whom one would af-
fect to despise.
