[THE TIMES.)
The publit het i not so long to expect the reply
to the Notes of the Ambassadors at the Court of
Spain, as it was obliged to wait for the Notes
themselves. That reply, the same to all the
Powers addressing the Spanish Government, we
present to-day. Were we of a temper to rejoice
in the discomfiture of legitimate Emperors and
Sings, the present document would indeed sup-
ply matter of great triumph. How completely,
but how quietly, are Messrs.Mekternich, Bernstoti,
and Nesseirode put down by the very first clause
in the Note, which is to serve as an answer to
all alb powers that remonstrate against the pre-
sent Spanish Constitution :----44 You all solemnly
" recognized it in 1.819. ii i" But little remains
to be added to this, except, as we say in our
country, " a groan" for Messrs. Nesseirode,
Bernstoff, and Metternich. The Spanish ques-
tion is upon a right footing, so far as relates to
Foreign Powers.

We received 'last night Dutch Papers to the
16th inst. They contain an article from Nurem-
berg which conveys some interesting intelligence
respecting the view taken by .the Allied Save-
veigns at Verona of the Greek affairs, and of the
propriety of doing something to ameliorate the
condition of that breve and injured people. Total
independence seems to have been considered in-
compatible, with the legitimacy of the Turkish
F.toperor and his Government, which we are told
" had not for a moment been called in question, but
had been assumed on the contrary by the Congress
as the haSis of fresh negotiations with the Porte."
it was only proposed to obtain for the Greeks the
free possession of several parts of the Morea and
of some or the islands, under the supremacy of
Turkey, find the Congress 'separated with an un-
\ derstanding that negociations to attain that object
• would be renewed. The intelligence subse-
quently received, from Constantinople,, however,
is said t.a have operated a great alteration in the
sentiments of certain Monarchs. It was thought
that ccif a party had violently•: seized on the
reins of Government, the Sultan was become
merely a tool," and 44 an active interference in
the internal taroks of Turkey might be justified,
without too nearly affecting the principle of the
legitimacy of the Turkish Emperor."

In no proposition of geometry, in no problem
of mathematics, can the solution be more aptly
and satisfactorily applied to the questions pro..
posed, than the reply of Spain is fitted to the de-1
mends of the Holy Alliance. But it is not the
abstract fittness which call: for admiration : it is
the moral grandeur, the ,perfect self-possession,
the absolute justice, the entire wisdom, the mug-
nanimoos contempt with which Spain has deigned
t‘o answer the insidious, cowardmalignant pre-
tensions of barbarians. It wits but yesterday
that au English Morning Paper (our readers will
discover his name as wallas his nature in his bray-
ing) said, "The leading men in Madrid are quiteas
violent us Hunt, Cobbett, and Carlile." Ere the
evening came the Answer, the unprecented, un-
rivalled, immortal Answer of Spain, written by
her leading men to the. Allied Sovereigns. If
indeed Bust, Cobbett, and Carlile could con-
duct themselves with so much wisdom, discre-
tion, and :intrepidity, as .the leaders of a revolu-
tion, it would be vase in the Govermnent Jour-
nals to conceal the dangerous fact.

Many strange things have happened in our
times ; but one of the most strange, and for which
we were the least prepared, though it is not on.
that account the less grateful, is the discovery
announced yesterday by a contemporary (The
New Times), that the threlktened invasion of
Spain ought to excite our ppreliiinitons for t/n
cause of sound ratimud anti that it will
probably' lead to a remilit that no party in the
outset would have AViSheii. This discovery is the
more Valuable, as it can hardly have been made
by our ntemporary without having previously
been made by others whp'tt opinions may
have 'some effect on the issue. Whoever has
converted our contempiirary is entitled to the
highest praise, for We are sore, no -Missionary
among the -Heathen ever had a harder task on his
hands. When we first lighted on the paragraph
ive could hardly trust the evidence of our eyes ;
we suspected tha t we had fallen on a wrong
Paper, that we had confounded different Times
with each other.; and we re.read the title at top
letter by letter, to make sure of it. %V e, in fact,
considered the rof of our contemporary us a

[N ENV TIM M.]
In speaking of the foreign news, we would
wish to guard ourselves from being misunderstood
as advocates for war, c hen wt say that we cannot
but regard such it result as roost probable, from
the present state of affairs. it is strongly indi-
cated, we think, by the fall of tin French Fonds
vim the rectipt of the Spanish Note. It is indi-
cated, by the tenor of the Note; mid still more
by the conduct of the Republicans at Mn.
drid, which evinces a decided sentiment
of hostility- against will the Allied Powers
of the Continent. A fact by no means im-
material, in this point of view, is, that,a se.
eund violation of the Freoch territory is stated
in. the Etelle to have taken place, near. St.
J an Pied de Port. It does not appear to have-
heel; accompanied with those circumstances of
dastardly cruelty which, disgraced the former
offence ; it was not directed to the butchery of
wounded men in an Hospital ; but still the free
