LONDON,
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26, 1823.

The intelligence from France, Spain, and
Portugal,,is of great importance. The measures
of the' Government, in the former country, and
its obstinate perseverance in a project of un-

just aggression upon the Peninsula, have pro-
duced a crisis in its internal condition, and
a degree of popular excitement, that, in
the opinion of all well-informed persons, has
brought the French Monarchy to the eve of a
revolution, At the first moment when the real
designs of France against Spain became apparent,
we stated our conviction that the BOURBON
dynasty in France would encounter the danger
of subversion, if the project of invading the
Peninsula were not relinquished ; a conviction
which was strengthened by the subsequent de•
ciaration of Lord LIVERPOOL) that he dreaded
the results of the threatened war, not more for
the sake of the general tranquillity of Europe,
than for the sake of France, which his Lord-
ship foresaw would be exposed to the danger
Of the greatest calamities, from the time
it which she might venture to commence
hostilities, in a quarrel not more unjust than
"Popular. Raving these impressions strongly
before us, our Readers will recollect that
attached much importance to that pas.
Sage in the official Pamphlet " On the Adminis-
tration of the Affairs of the (British) Empire,"
In Which it was stated that the English Minister
"'Verona had distinctly intimated to the Minister
/*rince, that if France did rush into a war with
)t must be " on her own grounds, and

with all the eventual risks of the contest." Ong
of those risks, it is sufficiently evident, is that
of internal commotion, and of attempts being
made to effect a change in the Government,
and even to subvert the authority of the

reigning family ; and the intimation given by
Great Britain could not be otherwise construed
than as a renunciation of any implied obligations
to maintain the Throne of Louis XVIII. against
the danger of subversion, from whatever source
it might arise, in consequence of the imprudent
and unjustifiable conduct of his GovernMent.—
Our readers are also aware that we have advanced,
as one powerful motive for the observance of neu.
trality by England, the probability that Spain
might be deprived, by an offensive and defensive

alliance with his country, of one formidable means
of attack and retaliation upon the French Govern-
ment to which England could not be a party ;
for although Great Britain is undoubtedly absolved
from all implied obligations to guarantee the
Crown of France to the BounnoN
there are no circumstances, as affecting her,
which would justify her in supporting and
aiding a party whose object should be the
downfal of the BRURBON dynasty, or even the
re-modelling of the French Government on any
other basis than that of the Charter. Spain,

however, is very differently circumstanced, and
possesses the indubitable right of employing
every weapon against her enemy that can be fur-
nished either by her own means, or by the pecu-

liarities of his situation. The importance of these
observations is now manifest, not only from the
gradual development of the state of public opinion

in France, and from the strong indications, and stil
stronger suspicions, of disaffection iii the French
Army, but, from the conversation last night in the
House of Commons, on Lord Joist
question as to whether this country is bound by
treaty to guarantee the throne of France to the
BOURBONS.* As to the first of these points:—
The recent information from France has all
concurred in representing the feelings of the
Army as at best doubtful;—our Express yes-
terday from Paris brought us the intelli-
gence, on no less authority than that of
the Journal des Debuts, that several French
Officers had been arrested in the Bordeaux Dili-
gence, by which they were proceeding to the
frontier under assumed names and with false pass-
ports;-and in a private letter which is inserted
in another column of our Paper of this day,
it is asserted that a most formidable conspiracy
had been discovered in the Army of the
Pyrenees, in which even two of the Aides-de-
Camp of General GUILLEMINOT were implicated,
and the object of which was to effect a change
of dynasty by a military revolt ! Wa cannot,
of course, vouch for the truth of this alarming
statement, though its probability is borne out
by preceding accounts, and is strongly supported
by the sudden appointment of the Duke of BELLUNO,
the French Minister at War, to be Major-General
of the Army of the Pyrenees, and his precipitate
departure for the Army, for the purpose of
quelling the conspiracy 1 Even if that conspiracy,
however, should be for the present quelled, by
the removal of the Officers who are implicated in
it, what reliance can be placed on the fidelity of
the troops, when they shall be brought into ac-
tion with the Spaniards, in the front of whose
lines will wave the tricolor standard which has
been hoisted by the foreign legion of Frenchmen,
and of Neapolitan and Piedmontese refugees ?
As to the, second point, the guarantee of the
throne of the BOURBONS is evident from Mr.
CANNING'S statements last night, and by the pre-
vious declaration in Parliament of the late
Lord LONDONDERRY, that England is bound,
not to guarantee the throne of FRANCE to the
BoURBONB, but merely to exclude from that throne
the family of 13UONAPARTE 1 If the war be still
commenced. therefore, by France, we repeat,

• The 'Treaties signed at Paris at the general peace of 18111,
by Great Britain, Austria, Russia, and Prussia, contain the
following Articles :

Article I.—The High Contracting Parties reciprocally en-
gage to maintain In its full force and vigour the Treaty signed
this day with his Most Christian Majesty, and to see that the
stipulations of this Treaty, as well as those of particular Con-
ventions thereto referring, be strictly and faithftilly executed in
t'leir full extent.

2.—Having been engaged in the war which has just termi-
nated, for the purpose of tnaintaininginviolable the arrangements
concluded at Paris last year, for the security and the interests
of Europe, the High Contracting Parties have thought proper
to renew by the present Treaty, and to confirm, as mutual obli-
gations, the said arrangements saving the modifications which
the Treaty signed this day with the Plenipotentiaries of his
Most Christian Majesty have added, and particularly those by
which NAPOLI:ON' BUONAPARTE and his family, by virtue
of the Treaty of the I) th of April 1814, have been fin. ever
excluded from supreme power in France, which exclusion the
Contracting Parties engage by the present Act to maintain in full
vigour and if necessary with all their forces. And as the same
revolutionary principles which have supported the last criminal
usurpation might under other forms disturb France, and
thus menace the tranquillity ofother States, the High Contract-
ing Parties, solemnly acknowledging the duty_ of' redoubling
their cares to watch over in similar circumstances, the interests,
and the tranqUillity of their people, engage in case that such
an unfortunate event should break forth, to concert with each
other, and with his Most Chrisian Majesty, the measures
which they may judge necessary for the security of
their respective States, and for the general tranquillity of I
Europe.—(See Suppkment to GoLDssirruts Collection of
State Papers, p. 481.

emphatically, that she undertakes it " ; ills call
the eventual risks of the contest !"
But the news from Madrid, which not only at
length fixes, in consequence of the firmness of the
Cortes, the definitive period for the departure of the
KING and the Government, but also announces a
change of the Spanish Ministry) may, and we
hope will, be. seized on by the French Govern-
ment as a pretext for withdrawing front its pre-
Sent hostile attitude. We have good reasons for
believing that it was. in the anticipation of this
important event. that Lord LIVERPOOL continued
to haVe some remaining hope that peace might
,be preserved.

.'he latest accounts from Portugal represent

the CONDE AMARANTE as flying before the Con-
stitutional Forces under General REG°, and 'the
insurrection as completely frustrated.

STOCK EXCIIANOE, Twelve o'Clock.—The in-
formation of a conspiracy in the Army of the
l'yrenees caused great sensation in the earlier
part of the morning, but after the public had
given it mature consideration, much of its import-
ance fell to the groundovhich will be observed
by the Consols' Market, which opened at 741 27
at which price it is steady up to this hour. Had
the above conspiracy been of any great magni-
tude, the French Funds would have fallen con-
siderably ; but by the Expresses this morning
we understand that after the closing of the
French Funds they were done at 78f. 15c. Mr.
UNNING'S speech has had also great weight in
the Market, and has been the cause of keeping

the Funds down. There is also another circum-
stance which the public look to with confidence,
which is, that if a gevolt takes place in the
French Army, the Russians and Prusssians will
come to the assistance of France.—Spanish Bonds
opened this morning at 30, and fell to 2.81.

A Jatnaica _Mail arrived this morning.

Martha by the Republican forces under Genova'
Montilla; the Cenega was burnt ; the above vil-
lage was taken at the point of the bayonet, and
the slaughter of the Indians great. Bolivar was
proceeding from Pasto Port for Rio de la Hashe,

all the disposable force to finish Morales in one
short campaign."
