the loss hits been very great. Although the snow has mostly,
disappeared in the low parts of the country, very little iinpres.

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

IXTRACTS FROM THE nAILY MORNING PAPERS,
Marck Ic2, 1823.

[MORN ING ros.r.].
The present is a moment of awful suspense.—
The world is listening with dread and indigna-
tion for the sound of the first blow struck in n
conflict by which at least the destiny of one ge-
nerous and interesting nation is about to' be
decided, and which, in its progress and conse-
qaences, cannot fail to affect, more or less deeply,
the welfare and happiness of every European
State. The people of England are naturally
watching with the most intense anxiety the first
intimation from their rulers of the course of
Poky which, in the existing circumstances of
Europe, they may determine to pursue. Such
intimation has not yet been giVen. The indi-
cations of a neutral and of an active policy,
so far as they can be collected from the occa-
sional expressions of Members of Administration,
may hitherto be said to balance. The field of
speculation is thus left open to the conjectures of
busy curiosity—to the calculations of cold self-
interest and timid apprehension—to the aspira-
tions of ardent and honourable zeal. To the re-
tainers of party, however, this suspense is most
unfortunate and perplexintr. How amusing to
notice the hovering about*, first to one- and then
to the other side of a question—the alter-
nately blowing hot and cold, In order to re-
tabu the valuable- privilege, unfettered by any
antecedent consistency of opinion, of pronounc-
ing the ultimate determination of Government,
whatever it may be, a ruinous and fatal error.
To the people of England, who know enough of
faction toderide its artifices, we would recap the
cheering-recollection that the opinion and feel-
ing of their Government, as to the atrocious cha-
racter of the impending attack upon Spain, has
been unequivocally expressed, and that these
are in complete unison, with the generous and
noble sentiments, alone possible to; as they alone
are worthy of, a nation of freemen. The prac.
Lice policy of the Government, modified as• it
must necessarily be by circumstances and consi-
derations which it is the peculiar function and
qualification of Government to combine and appre-
ciate, will, we doubt not, be always consonant
to the elevated and liberal sentiments it has
avowed.—lt is obvious that there are many
circumstances anti considerations to which it is
obviously impossible for individuals to affix the
just value, either separately or in their combina-
tion, as affecting the question of war or peace,
not for the purpose of advocating one line of
policy or the other, a purpose which we utterly
disclaim, but in order to inculcate the propriety
and duty of awaking with confidence and re-
ceiving with respect the decision of Government,
not only because the feelings and wishes of the
Government and the nation are perfectly coin-
cident, but because the Government only can
possess the essential' materials to any just and
prudent decision.

'l'lllll TIMEs.I
Paris Papers of Sunday arrived in the course of
yesterday. Their details are various, and though
of an indecisive character, not without interest.
First, it will be observed, that two " orders of the
day" are issued, tending to throw obloquy on
the detachment of the National Guard that re-
fused to drag Manuel from his station in the
Chamber of Deputies. The affair is patched up
as well as may be—that is to say, clumsily. The
whole, guard is informed that it feels the most
profound grief and indignation at the perverse
disobedience of the offending members. ' It would
have been more satisfactory if the men had
declared themselves to. be thus indignant,
instead of being apprised of their indignation
by others but query,—are they so indignant
that they would not all of them adopt the same
course, if another M. Manuel were to be remov-
ed from the Chamber ? " It is evident," says the
Colonel of the 4th Legior, " that this violatiou
" of discipline materially compromises the Na-
" tional Guard, the institution of which bears an
" especial character• of unbounded devotion to
" the Government!" lied this reasoning about
unbounded devotion to Government been true,
the Government of Iluonaparte would never
have been shaken. The segacity of the other
worthy Colonel is equally acute. We find,
however, in the midst of the indignation Mt by
the National Guard at the conduct of their com.
rade, the Sergeant who refused to act, that they
have really met and voted him a sword of honour,
as a cutting proof, we suppose, of their dissatis-
faction. The want of an Opposition seems to be
so felt, that the Ministers and the Ultra-Roy-
alists are said, like. Sir Robert Walpole, to have
some thoughts of detaching one. from their own
party to make, wordy war against them. We
dare say it will not be found necessary to.drag
auy of these sham combatants from his place in
the Assembly, by means of the gendarmerie.

[sweat:NG cnnomcr.E.j
Amongst other causes, the rise in the French
Funds is ettributed tattle probability or a change
the Spanish Government, and with it a change
of measures-.—Did we not know from the best
authority that letters 'are in London, dated
Madrid, 37th February, totally contradicting
every prospect of the sort, we might be led to
give the reports alluded to in Paris, a little con-
sideration. We have no doubt of such a hope,
being prevalent with the lereruth Government,
last from our knowledge of what has been going
on in Spain, we believe we may say, that those
who rely on any alteration whatever in the Spanish
Constitution at this moment, or while France
has an army art tire borders of Spain to threaten
it, will' >be deluding themselves extremely, for
if the Ministers ,were changed, which we believe
is altogether improbable, the King must put him=
self into the hands of 'the populace, who would
not he long in deciding his fate, whereas the
(tortes have protected him ; and they have una-
nimously determined rather to be cut to pieces
than alter a Constitution at the instance of
France. Then let us ask, hat prospect the
French have of any change of Spanish Ministers

favouring their demand ? We say from the autho-
rity of persons who left Spain on Feb. 27, they
can have no hope whatever, and consequently
France must either go on anti endeavour to com-
pel Spain, or recede altogether.. We also know
that French Officers of great repute are arriving
In Spain, and we believe forthe purpose of rais-
ing a liberal French standard, which we trust
the Spaniards will be too happy to support.—
Let it also be recollected, that Mina has with
him an excellent army of veteran troops, amount-
ing to upwards of 30,000 men, in good condi-
tion, which may form an excellent and secure
rallying point for those French troops and officers
that detest the attempt of their Government to
destroy Liberty, and who. see their own about
to be destroyed also by the Ultras, who now
govern France. These Ultras rely on divisions
in Spain. We recommend them to get rid of
such ideas, and consider from the moment they
set their feet in Spain, that it will even be more
united (if it bOpossible) than it is at present.—
We believe by this time the English Government
is pretty well satisfied that its mediation either
with France or Spain is whollyuseless, and can
lead to no beneficial result. Mad as the step
is, we apprehend the Government of France
(notwithstanding the unpopularity of the measure
in France) will march her army immediately
into Spain, and in all probability take Madrid ;
but let her take cave that this triumph is not fol-
lowed by continual defeats. As the Duke d'An-
goularne sets put this week, a very few days must
decide all doubts on the subject; and knowing the
determination of Spain, we see no hope of avoid.
ing war, unless the Ultras change their whole
line of policy ; and this we believe they neither
dare do,- nor have the inclination to do.

[NEW. TIM Eg
Letters and Papers have been received by ex,
press from Paris to Sunday evening. It was un.
derstood that news of a ' favourable character
had arrived from Spain. The particulars had
not fully transpired when the Courier came
away, and the reports were as usual very
various and uncertain. ,The most accredited
seemed to be a change of the Spanish 'Mi-
nistry ; others announced a defeat of Abisbal
by Bessieres ; some, still more vaguely, the
departure of the King from Madrid, not to-
ward the South, but to Saragossa, in the North
of Spain. This last statement, however, is more
than problematical. Be this as it may, the cer-
tainty of the rise of the French Funds, co-ope-
rating with the abundant demand for money
stock, produced a rise in our own Funds,
and Consols for Account closed at 74. Even
Spanish Stock felt the beneficial effect, Scrip
closing at only 354 discount, which was one
per cent. better than the opening price.—
We fear that there is still some lingering
delusien on the subject of these Securities.
An opinion, wo know, exists, that the King,
when restored to the Throne, will acknowledge
the engagements of the Descamisados. Now
that is what we very much doubt. If the am)»
lution of 1820 had been a national one, the case
would have been widely different : and the
King might have considered himself as equitably
hound to support the faith of the nation ; but
the Revolution of 1820 was in no sense a► nationl
one. The Spanish nation never adopted the in.
sane Constitution of the Cortes of. 1822, but
always looked on it with abhorrence ; and we are
even now not without hopes that the People of
Spain will shake off their yoke without the neces-
sity of foreign interference. They would have
done so long ago, had it not been for the money
raised by these very Loans which it is assumed
that they will hereafter recognise ; but that
money was employed to maintain the usurped
domination of the Comuneros and Masons, who
are now quarrelling and abusing each other,
exactly as the Presbyterians and Independents
did in our own Civil Wars. Under these cir-
cumstances, we greatly doubt whether Spain,
overloaded as she is with just debts, will be dis-
posed, in the event of her recovering her freedom,
o take upon herself a gratuitous burthen.

[MORNING ItiatALlq
Paris Papers and private accounts of Sunday
were received yesterday. The ferment caused
by the expulsion of M. Manuel had not yet
wholly subsided. The Ministerial Journals,
however, threaten him with his soon sink-
ing into oblivion. No proceeding has yet been
instituted against the disobedient National
Guards.• There is, however, reason to suppose,
that their disobedience will not be passed un-
noticed. The Colonels of the 4th and 7th Legions
have each issued an " order of the day " on the
subject. The former is the Legion to which the
disobedient serjeant and men belong., The ser-
jeant only 'is made responsible in these docu-
ments. It was stated, however, by all the Jour-
nals, at the time, that both the sub-officers
and the men jointly refused. In the order
of the day addressed to the 4th Legion, the
offence is merely deplored, but the Colonel
states, that the report made to him by the offi-
cers who gave the order to the sergeant• had
been forwarded by him to the Marshal, who
commands the National Guard in Chief. This
we believe is Marshal Oudinot, who is 'in high
favour withlhe Royal Family, and, it appears,
is to' command a division of the invading army,
under the Duke of Angouleme. It seems pro-
liable that upon the report the Marshal will di-
rect an inquiry. The following assertion of the
Order of the Day will hardly be denied
" It is evident," says the Colonel, " that this
violation of duty Materially comproinises the
National Guard." What immediately follows is
more questionable, and if not in direct contradic-
tion to the institution and purposes of the Na-
tional Guard, is certainly in violent opposition
to its conduct for the last 30 years The in-
stitution of which (the National Guard)," says
the Colonel, " bears an especial character of de-
votion to the Government." This doctrine, we sus-
pect, will find no response,er only in a small mi-
nority of the body to which it is addressed. The
Colonel of the 7th Legion disavows-the act, and
denounces " exemplary punishment" against the
offender. These manifestoes are, however, but the
sentiments of the two Colonels who have issued

theme and are no evidence of the opinion of the
National Guard itself on the subject. There
appears no relaxation of the preparatives for
war. The Duke of Angouleme, it is stated,
would leave positively on the 15th. From Spain

there are no accounts that should be relied on.
The insurgents are overrunning provinces, and
again threatening Madrid, according to the fa-
natical Journals ; but their statements are so
devoid of circumstance and detail, that, coming
through a suspicious medium, they deserve little
credit,

fattiTtsn mos.]
The last Paris Papers are filled with details
of very little importance. The popular agitation
produced by the expulsion of M. Manuel does
not appear, even yet, to have given way. Dis-
turbances still took place on the Boulevards on
Wednesday and Thursday evenings, in one of
which the citizens routed the foot gendarmerie
near the Porte St. Martin ; an individual who
shouted for the Bourbons was attacked by the
people, and obliged to take refuge in an adjoining
house, the windows of which were immediately
broken. Though all the preparations for the
war against Spain still continue, there appears to
be a very general opinion in Paris that peace
may be yet preserved. The influence of the
Russian Ambassador is said to be on the decline,
and that of Talleyrand and De Caze increasing.
Negociations are stated to have been on foot to
produce an union between De Caze and Villele,
and the King is reported to have sanctioned and
strongly recommended the junction. De Caze,
it would appear, was willing to act with Villele,
even though the latter retained the presidency;.
but the partizans of the latter, as if afraid of the
talents and ascendancy of the former Minister,
warmly opposed the measure. Large sums of
money are announced in these papers as aceotn-
panying the march of the troops to the frontiers ;
every detachment is supplied with so many thou-
sand francs in gold. This is the metal more
ductile and seductive than the iron of the north
with which the " Gordon Sanataire" and its
agents were hitherto so successful in creating dis-
content and faction in Spain, and on it the valiant
Augouleme probably still relies for his best suc-
cesses. It is stated that this Great Captain is
positively to set out on the 15th for the army,
and should war be irrevocable, the campaign
will of course commence almost instantly after.
The band of churchmen and exiles, called the
Spanish Regency, has at length been organized ;
it consists of the following :—The Archbishop of
Tarragona, the Bishop of Urge!, the Baron
d'Eroles, Calderon, Eito, and General Eguia.
