Allis expectation relative. to the opening of
the. Cortes, particularly as the King of 'Spain will
make a" new choice of Ministers in consequence of
the present having determined to resign ; but
every one who knows any thing, of the Cortes is
welt assured' that 'no member of it is inclined to
alter one article of the present:Constitution, and
indeed it -would not be safe either for the King-,
the Ministers, or the Cortes, to attempt any
change, as the whole population would immediately
rise in all probability on a suggestion'even of either
modification or alteration ; consequently a change
of Ministers will not alter the present question
‘vith.France. Spain cannot, and will not, we be-
lieve, yield to the demand of any foreign Power
whatever on this point. We therefore shall soon
sea whether krance dare invade Spain ; for, on the
best authority, we firmly believeon the point of
modification, neither present nor any other Go.
liertneent the King of Spain may form will give
way in the least. The army of Spain is much
more numerous than people imagine, and together
with their militia, it may be considered as amount-
ing to nearer '200,000 than 150,000. We know
this force is not equal in discipline to French
troops, but for the purpose of mountain warfare
it is superior. We hear in the French Papers-that
BesSieres's army is considerable, but we know it
to be composed of a set of miscreants that are daily
dect easing and wandering- in the mountains, It may
be asked, if it be so contemptible, why has not
Abisbal destroyed it ? To which we answer, that
he would be mad, in the present sitAation of Spain,

tives in the mountains, where it can do but little
hatm, and where it must vanish from natural
difficulties alone. Mto all the other Royalist
forces, we have only to ask, where are they? In
what towns or provinces? France must now in-
vade Spain or recede, fixing on herself the ridi-
cule of Enrol!. She is in an awkward situation,
and not the less so from the judicious conduct
and declaration of Portupl, and the spirited
conduct of the National Guard. If we look at
the letters of the Chiefs of this force in the.pub.-
Irc Papers, we discover the weakness of the
Ultra-Government. Why not bring the muti-
neers to a Court Martial ? Why do not your
COT) mantle rh bring the Serjeant and hit men to
Military trial for disobedience ? The answer is
Oar because neither your Government nor your
officers &ire resort to it. The community is
against you ; its judgment is honest; sound)
