[MORNING CIIIIONICI.T.j
Every day the Public of England are better
enabled to appreciate the difficulties the French
will experience in their attempt to conquer
Spain—difficulties arising not only out of the na-
ture of the country, but also the cool firmness of
the natives, their readiness to make every sacri-
fice, and the judicious plans on which the Spanish
Government and the several Comnianders of
corps are acting. Even The Courier has- suds
denly changed his opinion,- and says, that what
has hitherto happened is only the prelude, the
sequel it is that will be disastrous to' the French.
The fact is, the Prince Generalissimo, however
sanguine he might have been when he crossed
the Bidasso,- now' finds that his airily is not ade-
quate to the enterprize in' which it is engaged.
To make up the deficiency he has garrisoned the
towns through which he has passed, with troops
belonging to the Army of the Faith, and as these ,
are no other banditti, as soon as he is out of sight, I
they begin to pillage and insult the inhabitants,
committing such acts of vengeance and abuse that
the people have beenobliged to send remonstrances
of the strongest kind after the Duke, which
embarrass him greatly, as he is threatened by a
general rising in his rear. This circumstance
alone compels him to proceed with great caution.
Few, however, of these circumstances appear in
the French Prints; in which nothing alarming or
unfavourable is inserted. The. Bulletins arrive
to the Government, but before they are made
known, a Council is held, to deliberate and de-
cide on what portion of-them is to be laid before
the good people of France,. and the rest is sup-
pressed. The hopes of the French Ultras are
not, however,- so sanguine; they find that the
Constitutionalists do not desert to them'; that no
persons of rank- or wealth join their standard,
and that, as they advance, they will have to con-
tend with an insulted and desperate foe. The
Prince Generalissimo's dispatches cannot, there-
fore, be supposecrto be penned in the best spirits,
yet all this- has by no means diminished the
anxiety of the British Cabinet' fore some accom-
modation. that may preserve the Bourbon
laurels from being tarnished. Bence is it that
.44e find frequent couriers are sent off to Seville,"
where we find Sir William A'Court's zealous and
good offices have been' renewed. The present
plan, however,- is not to- demand any direct mo-
dification of the Spanish Constitution ; but to get
in Ministers more pliant and tractable than the
late ones, under a hope that,th-rough their means,
a, promise of future modification may be obtained,
and through their instrumentality eventually
realised. In this, as in the other negociations,
those who wish to humiliate Spain will be de-
ceived. The Spaniards know their real position
now much bettor than before the invasion com-
menced, and their strength will increase in the
same ratio as that of their foes diminishes. A
most perfect union and understanding exist be-
tween the liberal party of Spain and Portugal,
founded on common interests, and strengthened
by mutual danger; and the pledge exchanged
between them is, not to concede the alteration of
a single iota in their Constitutions, as long as the
demand is accompanied by threats. On this
policy they are determined to act, and leave the
result to time.

[MORNING POST:
k Lisbon Mail and Bayonne PalArs arrived
yesterday, the contents of which are important.
it appears that General Rego continued his pur.
suit of the rebel Amarante, but was unable to
come up with him, and that the latter had so well
defended himself against an attack made upon
him by the Spanish General Morillo, that the
latter considered he could not hinder him from
proceeding in the direction of Burgos, where he
would probably join the vanguard of the French
army; in consequence of which General Rego
was about to fall back upon Portugal. If this
statement be correct, it affords an ample illustra-
tion of the perfidious principles upon which the
enemy proceed in their career of aggression, and
which we had no difficulty in discovering and ex-
posing, when mention was first made in the French
Papers of the pretended honourable course
which they meant to pursue. Letters from Bar-
cel,pna state, that the Captain of vessel, arrived
there from Marseilles, gave information that at
the moment of his departure a great revolution
had taken place ; that the Constitution of 1791
was adopted, and Napoleon 11. proclaimed Con-
stitutional Emperor. The Captain added, that
be left the people lighting with the troops, and
that the latter were obliged to retire from the
city. There may be some foundation for this
statement ; but we by no means credit it to its
full extent,

rrua
Even the nourbons, we believe, and their
wicked advisers, begin to be sick of their Spa..
Wet enterprise, which in truth can itself hardly
yet be said to have begun. What, then, will
they be ere the end arrive ? Besides, we may
also expect a little domestic opposition in France
to the mad conduct of the newly-established
Government of that country. It surely is not
for nothing that a. whole body of men have
seceded from the Chamber of Deputies;' they do
not mean to sink themselves into absolute nullity ;
they mean to give effect to their opinions in some'
other quarter, and by some new system. France
saw her rising population called again and again
by the last tyrant, and sent as it were to the
slaughter-house ; but then she in return gained
glory and extended her power. The projects of
the present unhappy race can neither confer ho-
nour on the country, nor consolidate its strength.
Mr. Canning boasted in the House of Commons,
that the part which •Enghtnd acted in the Con-
gress of Verona had broken the confederation of
the Sovereigns fm' the humiliation of the
Peninsula, and bad left the quarrel a mere
national one between France and Spain. This
assertion has been already disproved by the
unity of action observed in the " high C 01).
tracting parties." A conspiracy among. jour.
neymen is always detected by what is called
