or the Holy Al:lance, sets or with asserting. that`
‘' the occupation of the capital of Spain by the.
French troops, and the restoration of order
there," demonstrate the correctness of the reso-
lutions taken at Verona.' It is not a little re-
markable, that the very same day which has
brought us the document. containing this trium-
phant assertion from St. Petersburgh, his also
brought, by the Bayonne Papers, a letter from
Madrid- itself, and of a much more recent date,

and beneficent in their result, it appears to us,
that the absence of tranquillily on the Ist of July.
at Madrid itself, and the necessity which still
existed in that capital of employing French
soldiers for the protection of the respectable
inhabitants, from the violence of the mob
allies of the Uoly Alliance, must be admitted
as legitimate evidence that the councils of
Verona respecting Spain were determined by

rashness and folly, and have hitherto been
productive only of embarrassments and demo-
ralization as their fruits. It is the Russian
diplomatist himself who has furnished us with
this argument. It is true that the same conclu-
sion would have been obtained from the actual
state of affairs in the Peninsula, whether the pre-
mature-exultation of the Russian Manifesto had
or had not furnished so fair a mode of deducing
the inference but it is not a little convenient to
be enabled to" demonstrate" the accuracy of a
proposition, on the very grounds furnished by
opponents themselves!
But it is not only respecting Madrid that we
find a discrepancy between the assumptions of
the politician at St. Petersburgh and the realities
of the condition of the Spanish Capital, as nar-

rated by an observer, who makes his statement
ou the spot. The Russian Manifesto alleges
that 44 France was in 1.822 a volcano, oval
which we walked with trembling ;" and it
unblushingly asserts, that the real object to be
accomplished by the invasion of Spain, was that of

of France was compelled to adopt rigorous' mea—

efforts to, make hit children happy, had not the
success which they certainly would have had en
other nations !"—Now, even supposing that this
is a faithful representation of the state of France-
in 18, and to say nothing of the employment of
violent measures against Spain, althOUgh mild,
measures would not haye " failed to render
any people, except the French, happy, we shalt;
for the present merely prove that the condition-

to the commencement of the Spanish war, as,
exultingly proclaimed at Paris, by the King of.
FUASCc himself, and from an actual knowledge
of the political state of his dominions at that
period. So far is it from being true, that at the
beginning of the present year a foreign war
was necessary for bringing back France to
