APOSTSCRIPT OF Tkl p lOU UNAL DESDUBATS OF FR IDA:Y

Ten 6' Clock in the evening:

While we were occupied with the reflections
which we have placed at the head of these Notes,
the courier who was the bearer of the decision of
the Spanish Government arrived at Paris.: mode.
-ration has not. been listened to in their Councils ;Ji
the wishes of the good are disappointed;- as hap-
,pens always in revOlutions, the violent has
triumphed over the moderate party. The four
-Motes have been •ill-received, and the Charges
des 4ffaires of Russia, Austria,,and Prussia, have
demanded their passports. There is as yet no
courier from tM. tie la Garde.
We give a rapid sketch of the sitting of the
Cortes of the 9th of January.
Sr. de San Miguel, Minister of Foreign Affairs
stated that the Government of his Catholic Ma-
jesty had .received official communications from
the Cabinets of rFrance, Russia, Austria, and
Prussia, through the medium of the Ministers of
those Powers at 'Madrid. Though the affairs to
which the contents of these Notes refer are not
precisely within the jurisdiction of the Cortes,
the Government wishes to give a proof of the good
harmony which subsists between the two first
bodies of the state, by making known to the Cor-
tes the contents of these' documents, as well
as of the answers of his Majesty's Govern-
ment. The Ministers flatter themselves that they
will be found to have on this occasion followed
the course ,pointed out to them by patriotism and
by the national dignity.
Sr. de San Miguel ascended the tribune, and
first read the instructions which the French Go-
vernment had addressed to the Count de la
Garde, as well as the answer which the Spanish
Government, had made to these communications.
The official communications' of the Cabinets of
Russia, Prussia, and Austria, were then read.
The reading of these papers was interrupted
''by the repeated clamours of the spectators hi the
galleries, and even by noise among the Deputies.
Sr. de San Miguel observed, that as the docu-
ments which had been read contained no deter-
minate proposition, the Government of his Catho-
lic Majesty did not think proper to reply in a
categorical manner to communications ►which con-
sist merely of a tissue of false suppositions, in-
vectives, and calumnies. He added, that the
'Government proposed to issue a manifesto, in
which would be faithfully traced the history of
-the Spanish revolution, and of the conduct which
the Government had constantly, obrerved.

Sr. de San Miguel concluded by stcting, that he
now intended to read the instructions which he
had addressed to the Spanish Charg& des Affaires
at the Courts of the before-mentioned Powers,
copy of which he had transmitted, to the repre-
sentatives of those Powers accredited at the
,Court of Madrid.

The Minister then read ,the instructions which
he had addressed to the ChargZ• dar AjJ'aires at
the Court of the Emperor of Russia.
The reading of this document was followed
by the greatest applause, both from the deputies
and the spectators in the galleries. Among the
'latter were alternately heard the cries of Live
~Yprtin ! Live the Sovereignty of the People I----
.Death to Tyrantx!
,Amidst this agitation Sr. de San Miguel left the
tribune.

Several deputies, among whom were parti-
cularly remarked Srs. Bertrand delis, Argo-
,elles', and Gallant), rose, and eagerly proposed
to speak.
Tim President called to order, and said that
the Cortes, after having taken cognizance of the
Communications made to the Spanish Government
by the Cabinets of France, Austria, Prussia, and
Russia, declare that no modification shall be
,made in the Constitution proclaimed at Cadiz in
the year 1812, .except such a measure shall be
called for by the unanimous voice of the nation,
and shall be adopted in conformity with what is
prescribed by the fundamental code.
After this speech Sr. Galiano rose. This
deputy desired one of the Secretaries to read a
proposition which he wished to submit to the
deri4ion of the Cortes. The object of this pro.
position was to require that the Cortes should
address a message to the King, in which his Ma-
jesty should be informed of the declaration just
made by the Congress. In the message it was
proposed, that the King should be assured that
the Cartes were resolved to make every possible
sacrifice for maintaining in its full integrity the
,Const`tution of 1812, as well :is the splendour of
the Constitutional throne ; that the Cortes would
rfurnish to tile Government every assistance ne-
cessary for repelling every hostile attempt on
,the part of the Powera whose notes had been
,read ; that all Spaniards would contribute
with pleasure to an enterprise which'had for its
object to defend the national liberty and inde-
pendence,
A great number of the Deputies rose, and
wished to apeak in support of this proposition.
The President observed, that the unanimous
-vote of the Deputies in favour of the motion of
Sr. Galiano rendered all discussion on the sub-
ject at that moment unnecessary.
Sr. Arguelles rose. After informing the Cortes
with what indignation he had heard the notes of
.the four Powers read, he observed that the con.
sideration of Sr. (,riiianO'S motion ought to he
adjourned, that it might he made evident to all
'Europe that the resolution to which the Congress
was about to come was not the result of a mo-
mentary impulse. He proposed that the motion
should be referred to the Diplematic Committee,
~,end that the Committee should, within forty-
eight hours, present a minute of the message to
be addressed to the King. lie •concluded by a
strong declaration of his firm attachment to the
Constitution of 1812.
The speech of Sr. Arguelles was followed by
0-the greatest applause.
The Cortes adopted the dtotion of Sr. Arguelles.
The President then nominated that Deputy a
member of the Uplumatic Committee.
Sr. Gallant), who is a member of the Diplo-
matic Committee, congratulated himself on haviug
Sr. Arguelles for a colleague. lie observed, that

though on different occasions he had not voted
with that Deputy, he had always been persuaded
.that at a moment when the object in view was
the safety and dignity of the nation, there would
be but one opinion in the Congress,.and that Sr.
Arguelles would be the first to concur in so
laudable a purpose.
Sr. Galiano then addressed the Minister for
Foreign Affairs. After assuring him that he did
net wish to inquire, into matters which the Go-
-vernment might perhaps be-under the necessity
of keeping secret, he asked whether passports
had been given to the Ministers of the Powers
whose notes had been read.

Sride San Miguel answered irr the negative. He
everrappeared inclined to enter into farther par-
ticulars ; but he was interrupted by Sr. Galiano,
who signified that he was satisfied with the Mi-
nister's reply!
At the close of the debate, all the Deputies
rose, and the cries of " The Constitution! The
National Independence." were alternately re-
peated.
Sres: Alava, Gil tie la Quadra arid Arguelles
distinguished themselves by the marked manner
in which they expressed their approbation of
the cry.
'The President adjourned the sitting.
The Gazette de Fiance has the following pa-
ragraph A courier from Madrid who arrived
this day to the Russian Embassy, has brought
the news that the Notes of the Allied Powers
have been rejected by Spain. M. Sun Miguel,
in the sitting of the 9th, communicated the
answers proposed to these NoteS by the Spanish
Ministry. These answers-, containing the absolute
rejection of all the overtures of the Allies, were
unanimously adopted, after a stormy sitting. It
is stated, that the reply to the Note of the French
ambassador, though equally formal in its conclu-
sions, is somewhat less violent in its terms. After
this news, it cannot be doubted but that the am-
bassadors of the Allied Powers will immediately
leave Madrid."

The Journal de Path says,that" the Minister
of Foreign Affairs received on Thursday an ex-
press from Madrid. It is affirmed that he is the
bearer of the decision of the Spanish Council of
State on the Notes presented by France and the
three Allied Powers, and that this decision is
couched in very energetic terms.
" It was reported on 'Change that the decision
states that Stain will not revise her Constitution
before 1824, the term assigned by the Consti-
tutional Act for that opiiration, and that the
Spaniards will not violate their oaths of adhesion
to that law. Though this decision of the Coun-
cil of State had not, according to these accounts,
yet received .the approbation of the Cortes, the
rentes at Paris, notwithstanding, felt more than
one half per cent. ,

" Last night,(Thursday) an express was dis-
patched from. the Russian Embassy to St. Peters-
burgh."
A private letter from Madrid says that " the
decision unanimously adopted by the Cortes, on
the proposition of Arguelles, who has deserved
a second time the appellation of Divine, by his
noble eloquence on this occasion, will bring into
the field 90,000 very excellent troops. This
force is to be added to 90,000 active militia and
other corps.

LOAN to the REGENCY ofURGEL.

FRENCH TRIBUNAL OF POLICE.

PARIS, JAN. 14.—A great concourse of spec-
tators occupied the Hall of Audience at an early hour, and even
besieged the very avenues. Many members of the Spanish
Legation, and various persons of distinction, were confounded
with the crowd. Some common examinations first took place;
after which the bearings were adjourned until two o'clock,
when the sitting was resumed, but even then the Spanish busi-
ness was not called on, and some dissatisfaction was manifest-
ed among the spectators. At length the Serjcant called out,
" For his Majesty the King of Spain against the Sieurs Ouv-
rard and . Rougemont de Lowenberg." M. Rougemont was
at first absent, and soon making his appearance, the examina-
tion began. •
Messieurs Julien Ouvrard and Rougemont de Lowenberg
answered, in the first place, at to their names, ages, profes-
sions, &c.

The President.then directed the Advocate of his Excellency
the Spanish Ambassador to open his charge, which he did,
and concluded in these 'terms t-4' May it please this TA-
burial, whereas by a prospectus, dated Paris, 'November the
11th, 1822, commencing with these words-:-.' The Regency
of Spain established at Urgel,' and finishing by these—' ac-
cording to the rate of the payments which they have made'—
it has been announced that a loan was opened on account of
the aforesaid Regency; and this prospectus was published
and distributed at the instance of MM. Rougemont and
Ouvrard, and by reason of the passage " of the Regency of
Spain established at Urgel,' constitutes an offence under article
12 of the law of the 27th of May, 1819 ; it is therefore
prayed that the words ' Regency of Spain, established at
Urg
er beerased from the said prospectus, and that it be for-
bidden to issue the like in future, under the. pain of suffering
the penaltiei of the law ; and that the said Sieurs Rouge-
mont acid 'Ouvrard be condmned to the amount of the expences
incurred by the public adrninistration in taking the necessary
steps to secure the dignity of tile Spanish Throne, and public
order in France, and in taking such other steps as may be
deemed necessary," &c.
President.—M. Rougemont de Lowenberg, do you acknow-
ledge yourself to be the author or the distributor of the pro-
spectus of a loan in favour of the Regency of Urgel.
M. Rougemont.—l am not the author of it.
President.—You have distributed it.. •
M. Rougemont.—M. Ouvrard remitted me copies of it,
which I have distributed.
President.—M. Ouvrard, are you the author of the prospec-
tus under consideration ?
M. Ouvrard.—Yes, Sir.
President.—The sitting is too far advanced to be judged to-
day, and it is impossible to resume it this day week, because of
the funeral solemnity of the 214 of Jan. It must therefore
stand over a fortnight, that is to say, until the 213th of January,
when all the sitting, which will commence at half past 10
o'clock, will be dedicated to this process.
It is remarked, that the day dins appointed corresponds with
that of the royal order fur the opening of the chamber. It is
certain that the objections will be made by MM. OuVrerd and
Rougemont to the competence of the tribunal, and that the
criminality .of the expression "Regency of Spain," described
as offensive tohis Catholic Majesty, must depend upon the po:
Meal character of the Regency of Urgel, in the estimation of
the Government of France, and that the tribunals of Franc;
cannot judge in an affair wliich rests, according to the charter,
solely with the King. The advocate of the accused will incon-
sequence demand that the Duke de San Lorenzo be instructed
that it will be referred to the.consideration of his Majesty.
The foregoing trial the Editor of l'Etaile accompanies with
the following note :
" In a fortnight the question of the Government de yire and
def.4cto will be decided otherwise than by the tribunal of police.
It is probable that by that rinse the Conies will have no repre-
sentative in Paris."

STATE PAPERS.

IMPORTANT NOTES of the RUSSIAN, AUSTRIAN,
and PRUSSIAN MINISTERS, Relative to SPAIN.

DISPATCH rnou THE COUNT DE NESSELRODE TO THE
CHARGE D'AFFAIRES OF RUSSIA, AT MADRID,- DATED
VERONA, THE 14TH (26T11) NOC. 1822.

The Sovereigns and the Plenipotentiaries assembled at Ve-
rona, in the firm intention of consolidating, more and more,
the peace which Europe enjoys, and to prevent whatever might
tend to compromise that state of general tranquillity, were
led, from the first moment of their assembling, to direct their
anxiousand serious attention towards an ancient Monarchy,
which had been agitated with internal commotions during
two years, and which could not but excite, in an equal de-
gree, the solicitude, the interest, and the apprehensions of
other Powers.

When in the month of March, 1020, some perjured soldiers
turned their arms against their Sovereign and their country, to
impose upon Spain laws which the public reason of Europe,
enlightened by the experience of all ages, stamped with its
highest disapprobation, the Allied Cabinets, and particularly
that of St. Petersburgh, hastened to point out the calamities
that would follow in the train of institutions which consecrated
military revolt, by the very mode of their establishment.—
These fears were but too soon and too thoroughly justified.—
They are no longer theories nor principles, which are now to
be examined and approved. Facts speak aloud ; and what
feeling must they not inspire in every Spaniard who yet che-
rishes a love for his King and country ? What regret must be
experienced at the ascendancy of the men who have brought
about the Spanish Revolution ? At a moment when a de-
plorable success crowned their enterprise, the integrity of the
Spanish Monarchy was the object of the Spanish Government.
The whole nation participated in the wishes of hii Catholic
Majesty : all Europe had offered him an amicable interven-
Aim to restore for him, on solid bases, the authority of the mo-
ther country over distant regions, which formerly constituted her
wealth and her strength. Encouraged by a fatal example, to
persevere in rebellion, the provinces where it had already
broken Out found in the events of the month of March the best
apology for disobedience, and those which had yet remained
faithful, immediately separated from the mother country ;
justly afraid of the despotism which was about to oppress
its unfortunate Sovereign, and a people whom rash in.
novations condemned to : traverse the whole range of re-
volutionary disasters. To the disorders of America were
soon added the evils that are inseparable from a state of
things . where, the conservative principles of social order
had been forgotten. Anarchy appeared in the train of
revolution ; disorder in the train of anarchy. Long years of
tranquil possession soon ceased to be a sufficient title to pro-
perty; the most sacred rights were soon disputed; ruinous
loans and contributions unceasingly renewed, soon attacked
both public wealth and the fortunes of private individuals. As
was thp case at that epoch, the bare recollection of which makes
Europe shudder, religion was despoiled of her patrimony; the
throne of popular respect; the Royal dignity was outraged ;
,and authority was transferred to assemblies where the blind
passions of the multitude seized upon the reins of Government.
La.ttly, and to' complete the parallel with those days of cala-
mity, so unhappily re-produced in Spain, on the 7th of July,
blood was seen to flow in the Palace of the King, and a civil
war raged throughout the Peninsula. During nearly three
years the Allied Powers icontinued to flatter themselves that
the Spanish character—that character so constant and so gene-
rous when the safety of the country was in question, and lately
so heroic when it struggled against a power, produced by revo-
lution, would show itself at last, even in the men who had
had the misfortune to betray the noble recollections which
Spain might proudly recal to every nation in Europe. They
flattered themselves that the Government of his Catholic Ma-
jesty, undeceived by the first lessons • of a fatal experience,
would adopt measures, if not to stop by one common effort the
numerous calamities which were bursting upon them from all
sided, at least to lay the foundations of a remedial system, and
to secure gradually to the throne its legitimate rights and its
necessary prerogatives ; also, to give to subjects adequate pro.
tection, and to property indispensalile guarantees. But those
hopes have been utterly falsified. The lapse of time has only
brought with it fresh injustice ; violence has been increased;
the number of victims has frightfully augmented ; and Spain
has already seen more than one warrior, 'anti more than one
faithful citizen, hurried to the scaffold.

" It is thus that the Revolution of the 9th March went on,
day by day, hastening the ruin of the Spanish Monarchy, when
two particular events occurred which excited the most serious
attention of Foreign Governments.

"In the midst of people, to whom devotion to their Kings
is an hereditary Sentiment-2 people who for six successive
years shed the noblest blood to recover their legitimate Mo.
nnrch—that Monarch and his family were reduced to a state of
notorious and almost absolute captivity. His brothers, corn.
pelted to justify themselves, were daily menaced with the dun-
geon or the axe, and imperious commands forbade him, with
his dying wife, to quit the capital. On the ot6r band, in
imitation of the Revolutions of Naples and Piedmont, which
the Spanish conspirators constantly represent as their own
work, we hear them 'announce that their plans of subversion
have no limits. In a neighbouring country they strove with
unremitting perseverance to encourage ttenults and rebellion.
In more distant States they laboured to create accomplices ;
the activity of their proselytism was every where felt, and every
where it produced the same disasters;

"Such conduct would, of necessity, excite general reproba-
tion. Those Cabinets whieh'sincerely desired the good of
Spain, intimated during two years, their sentiments, by the
nature of the relations which, they maintain with its Govern-
ment. -France saw herself obliged to confide to an army the
protection •of her frontiers, and probably she will be compelled
also to confide to It the task of putting an end to those pro-
vocations which have rendered it necessary. Spain herself has
rebelled, in sorae parts, against a system which is foreign to
her habits, to her known loyalty, and to her entirely monar.
chical traditions. In this state of things, the Emperor, our
august Master; has determined to take a step which cannot
leave to the Spanish nation any doubt as to his true intentions,
nor as to the Sincerity of the wishes he entertains in her behalf.
It is to be feared that the dangeis arising from vicinity, which
are always imminent, those which menace the Royal Family, and
the just complaints of a neighbouring State, will terminate in
creating, between him and Spain; the most grave embarrass-
ments. It is this painful extremity which his Majesty would
avoid, if possible ; but, as long as the King Is not in a condi-
don to express freely his will, as long as a deplorable order of
things facilitates the efforts of the artists of Revolutions, who
are united by one comma's bond with those of the other coun-
tries of Europe, to troubh its repose, is it in the power of the
Emperor—is it in the power of any Monarch, to ameliorate
the relations of the Spanish Government with Foreign•Powm ?
" On the other hand, how easy would it be. to attain this
essential end if the King recovered, with his perfect liberty,
the means of putting an end to civil war, of preventing a fo.

reign war, aria of surrounding himself with the most enlight-
ened and the most faithful of his subjects, in order to give to
Spain those institutions which her wants and her legitimate
wishes require.
" Then, free and tranquil, she could not but inspire Europe
with the securit? Which she would herself enjoy; and, then,
too, the Powers which now protest against the conduct of hzr
Government, would be eager to renew with her relations truly
amicable, and founded upon mutual goodwill.—lt is a long
time since Russia announced these grand truths to the atten-
tion of Spaniards. Never had their patriotism higher destinies
to fulfil than at this moment. What glory for them to con-
quer Revolution a second time, and to prove that it can never
exercise dominion in a country where ancient virtues, an in-
delible attachment to principles which guarantee the duration
of society, and respect for a holy religion, will always triumph
over anarchical doctrines, and the artifices employed to extend
their fatal influence. Already one portion of the nation has
declared itself. It only remains for the other portion to unite
instantly with their King to deliver Spain—to save it—to as-
sign it, in the great European family, a place so much the
more honourable, because it would be snatched, as in 1814,
from the disastrous triumph of military usurpation.
" In directing you, M. le Comte, to communicate to the
Ministers of his Most Catholic Majesty, the sentiments deve-
loped in this dispatch. Ills Majesty is wining to believe, that
neither his intentions, nor those of his Allies, will be misrepre-
sentel. In vain will malevolence endeavour to represent theth
in the light of foreign interference, which seeks to dictate laws
to Spain.

" To express the desire,of seeing a protracted misery termil
mate—to snatch from the same yoke an unhappy Monarch, and
one of the first among European nations—to stop the effusion
of blood, and to facilitate the reestablishment of an order of
things at once wise and national—is certainly not attacking the
independenCe of a country, nor establishing a right of interven-
tion against which any Power whatever would have reason to
protest. If his Imperial Majesty had other views, it would
rest with him and his Allies to let the Spanish Revolution com-
plete its work. Very soon every germ of prosperity, of wealth,
and of power, would be destroyed in the Peninsula ; and if-the
Spanish nation can suppose these hostile designs to be entertain-
ed, they should lock for the proof of their existence in the in-
difference and the inaction of the Allies.

" The reply that will be made to the present Declaration,
must decide questions of the very- highest importance. Your
instructions'from this day will point out the determination that
you are to make, if the dispositions of the public authority at
Madrid reject the means which are offered for securing to Spain
a future tranquillity, and an imperishable glory."

DISPATCH OF M. TUE PRINCE DE METTERNICH TO THE'
CHARGE D'AFFAIRES, OF AUSTRIA, AT MADRID, DATED
VERONA, DEC. 14, 1822.

" The situation in which the Spanish Monarchy finds itself,
in conseqnence of the events which have transpired in that State
during the last two years, was an object of too paramount
portance not to have seriously occupied the
.attention of the
Cabinets assembled at Verona. The Emperor, our august
Master, has desired that you should be informed of the view
which he takes of this momentous question, and it is to fulfil
his desire that I address to you the present dispatch.
" The Revolution of Spain was judged fur us from its origin,
Conformably to eternal decrees, good can never arise to States
any more than to individuals, from a disregard of the first duties
imposed upon man in social order; the amelioration of the
condition of subjects should not, be commenced by criminal
illusions, by perverting opinion, and by misleading the con-
science ; and military revolt can never form the basis of a happy
and durable, government. The Revolution of Spain, consider.
ed solely in regard to the destructive influence which it has
exercised over the kingdom which has experienced It, would
be attevent worthy the undivided attention and interest of Fo-
reign Sovereigns ; for the prosperity or the ruin of one of the
most interesting States of Europe cannot be in their eyes an in.
different alternutive ; only the enemies of Spain, if possibly she
have any; could be capable of regarding unmoved, the conrul.
• •
sions which prey upon her. A just repugnance, however, to
meddle with the internal affairs of an independent nation would,
perhaps, influence these Sovereigns not to pronounce on the
situation of Spain, if the evil operated by her ReVolution was
•
concentrated, or could be concentrated, within her territorial
limits. But this is not the ease ; this Revolution, even before
it arrived at maturity, had been the cause of great disasters
in other States ; it was this Revolution which, by the contagion
of its principles and of its example, and by the intrigues of its '
principal partisans, created the Revolutions of Naples and Pied-
mont ; it was this Revolution which would have excited incur.'
rection throughout Italy, menaced France, and compromised
Germany, but for the intervention of the Powers which pre-
served Europe from this new conflagration. Every where the
destructive means employed in . Spain to prepare and consum-
mate the Revolution, have served as a model to those who flut-
tered themselves that they were paving the way to new con.
quests. Every where the Spanish Constitution has become the
rallying point and the war-whoop of a faction, combined alike
against tie security of thrones and the repose of subjects....-
The dangerous impulse which the Spanish Revolution had
given to the whole South of Europe, pieced Austria under the
painful necessity of having recourse to measures which ill
accorded with the pacific course which she would desire
invariably to pursue. She has witnessed a portion of her
dominions surrounded by sedition, and fettered by incendiary
plots, and on the very eve of being attacked by conspirators,
whose first efforts were directed against the frontiers. It was
only by great efforts and great sacrifices that Austria succeed-
ed in re-establishing tranquillity in Italy, and in definttingpro_
jects, the success of which would have been any thing but in-
different as to the fate of her own provinces. Besides, in the
questions relative to Spain. His Imperial Majesty cannot do
otherwise than support the same principles which he has al-
ways so decidedly manifested. Even in the absence of any di-
rect danger to the people confided to his care, the Emperor will
never hesitate to disavow and reprove what he thinks &Ise and
culpable, in regard to the general interests of human society.
Faithful to the system of 'preservation and peace, for the main-
tenance of which he has contracted inviolable engagements
with' his august Allies, his Majesty will never cease to con
-
sitter disorder and subversions, whatever portion of Europe
may be the victim of them, as an object of deep solicitude for
all Governments ; and whenever the Emperor can make his
views manifest amid the tumult of these deplorable crises, he
shall think that he has fulfilled a duty with which no consiitier-
ation can induce him to dispense. It would be difficult for me
to believe, M. le Comte, that the declared judgment of his Im-
perial Majesty on the events which are passing in Spain can be
misunderstood or misinterpreted in that country. .No object of
private interest, no conflict, of reciprocal pretension, no senti-
ment of mistrust or jealousy can inspire in our Cabinet an idea
in opposition to the welfare of Spain. The House of Austria
has only to turn to the annals of its own history, to find the
most powerful motives of attachment, regard, and good-will towards a nation which may,, with just pride, recal those cen-
turies of glorious memory, in which her sun of grandeur never
set towards a nation, which, powerful in respectable institu-
tions, hereditary virtues, religtoussentiments, anti in love to her
Kings, has rendered herself illustrious in every age by a pa-
triotism always loyal, always generous, and very often heroic.
During a period still recent, this nation astonished the world
by the courage, devotion, and perseverance, which she oppos-
ed to the ambitious usurper, who endeavoured to deprive
her of her Monarch and her laws, and Austria will never
forget how useful was the noble resistance of the Spanish
nation, at a time of great danger for herself. It is not to Spain,
either as a nation or as a Power, that can be applied the severe
language which is dictated to his Imperial 3lajesty by his
conscience and love of truth ; it applies only to thosepersist in prolonging her suf.
