We look for further accotints from Cadiz
with the utmost impatience. The Duke of
AliciouLtatx must have been placed in , a
dilemma by the bold offer of the Constitution-
alists to permit the KING to visit him in his camp,
provided the French bound themselves, ;UMW
diately to withdraw from the Spanish territory.
Will the Duke, by his rejection of that proposi,
tion, openly acknowledge that the liberation of
the Royal Family Is not the only object of his
expedition ; and that he is resolved to remain in
military occupation of Spain, until the form of its,
Government shall have been cut and squared to hit
liking, and forced upon the nation by the bay-
onets of his soldiers ? Enough has occurred to
convince him that his notions of government
are equally unpalatable to the Royalists and to
the Constitutionalists, and that he can have ,no
rational hope, therefore, of establishing any sys-
tem, whose permanency is not to depend upon the
continued presence and support of a French army,
—a continuance to which it cannot be supposed
that the Spaniards would long submit, or which the
French Government can imagine Great Britain
would long tolerate.

The neutrality hitherto observed by this coun-
try has been improperly ascribed to the dilapi-
dated state of her resources, and to her dread of
encountering all the force of the great Continental
Confederacy, instead of its neutrality having been
assigned to the true motives, the divided state
of the, Spaniards .themselves, and the. solemn

assurances of France that she had no views of
aggrandizement, or of acquiring a permanent
controut over Spain, In undertaking the present
impolitic, unnecessary, and unjust war.—The rea
pealed declarations of the Earl of LIVERPOOL
and of Mr. CANNING, and indeed the actual con-
dition of Great Britain, as is obvious to all
Who are really acquainted with the present
state of her resources and of her power, and
with the principles by which they are developed
and controuled, prove incontestably that this
country is able to meet all the sacrifices of a
war, if a war should really become necessary to
' the maintenance of her interests and honour ; and
as to the efforts against it of a Continental Con-
federacy, they know little either of the political
state of Europe, or of the history of past events,
whoimagine that a confederacy could really wield
its force against her with any very formidable
or destructive effect, or that a Continental Con-
federacy against England could even for unf
great length of time be held together.

Notwithstanding the neutrality of Great Bti

tam between France and Spain, she has never
ceased to watch over the progress of the conflict
with an earnest and sincere desire to interpOse
her good offices on behalf of the latter Power, if
a favourable opportunity of doing so with effect
should present itself.

Should the contest, contrary to expectation,
terminate in the overthrow of the Constitutional
Government, in consequence chiefly of the dis-
union and defection of its own adherents, it Will
be seen that England
,is not indifferent even as
to the form of government which way be
erected upon its ruins, and that her efforts
