We this day publish the whole of the arti
from the Universal of, Madrid, respecting
Instructions" of M. DE VILLELE to the Frei
Minister at that capital. The Spaniards,
though they are far from believing that war
inevitable, are nevertheless making formidal
preparations for the defence of their country.
has been announced to the Cortes, that in t'
months there will be a Spanish army of .10,0
men at the foot of the Pyrenees. Can it
possible that France seriously intends to inn
Spain, when we see that she has, as if by desig
taken all the measures that were calculated
put the Spaniards on their guard, and has aro
ed them full time to complete their means oft
pelling attack ? But there are persons who COl
tend that Austria, Russia, and Prussia have gel
too far in the Spanish question to be able'
recede. It is well that they do not this
that France is also irrevocably committed!
France can retire from the threatening pesitil
which she had assumed, the Spaniards will ni
much dread the hostile attitude of the otbl
Powers. But we cannot see that even tool
Powers are committed to a war. ThY bat
declared their displeasure, and as a mark of it
intensity they have ordered their Amhassad°l
to withdraw from Spain. They have dads"'
nothing more than their displeasure; and
cannot, therefore, for our part, imagine that ill
absolutely necessary that mere displeasure 3btallC
be proved by the employment of arms.

It was with some pleasure we lately notl7
the frequency with which most of the
Journals quoted articles from THE SUN) and
commendation which even those of tiiirerelli
Parties bestowed on our Paper, on
accollat°the impartial conduct which it had adopted,
the question of 'War or Peace. The fact isltbl
it is well known that THE SUN stands aloof fro'
all Stock-jobbing artifices, is intent upon the o
velopement of truth, and draws its conclusio
from facts as they appear. We may also
dently affirm that THE SUN holds a high rep.
talon in the French Capital, and is regularlf
ceived by most of the French 111inisters.---Aso
additional proof of the attention which Pf.ost.
excites in Paris, The Monitor?. of the 11111:
contains not fewer than seven articles talo 'l°
