[MORNING citnoNzci.E.]
The Nnbarrassment into which the Frenc

have heon thrown by the stupid fanaticism of a
* and the immorality and worthlessness of the
rest of the Serviles, and their anxiety to extricate
themselves from it by treating with the Consti-
tutionalists, settle in the most unanswerable man-
. ner the character of their invasion. If they had
not mule the attempt to elevate their Allies to
pcmer, many might have supposed, from the de-

clamations of the Journalists in their service,
that the revolution had not been embraced by all
that was intelligent and respectable in the nation,
that the Bands of the Faith were not at all corn-
posed of Monks and Brigands, and that by some
sort of fatality a great part of the people had
been so fascinated by the vices of Ferdinand's
profligate Court, that they longed to be once
more at his uncontrouled disposal. Now,
luovever, when the Serviles appear before
the world in all their deformity, and even
French soldiers, with the self-satisfaction which
deserts them only in very desperate cases
indeed, hang down their heads, ashamed of the
extraordinary folly of the task imposed on them,
the delusion is completely at an end. What

stings the officers of the French army, is not of
course the guilt of the undertaking, for we never
heard that they felt any compunction in being
the instruments of oppression under Buonaparte,
but the seeing themselves associated with beings
who possess no qualities to shield them from con-
tempt.—Their vanity is mortified. What the ef-
fect of all this will be it is impossible to say.
We suspect, however, that neither the French
Government, nor the other members of the Holy
Alliance, will gain much by the undertaking.—
Public opinion, though its voice is little heard
at present in Europe, is yet far from being so
powerless as many suppose.---A majority of our
Minit,ters, carried away by a blind hatred to
every thing that bears the name of Revolution,
were as anxious for the destruction of
the Spanish Constitution as the Holy Al-
liance. All the intrigues which were put in
practice, when the Italians were consigned with.
out compunction to the old misgovernment to which
they owed their misery and demoralization,' were
volunteered once more in behalf of the enemies
of the Spaniards. All the arts of cajolery were
employed to deceive the Constitutionalists with
respect to the amount of the dangers to which
they were exposed. These men, whose joy
could not be contained when the French armies
marched, without opposition, from one end of
Spain to the other, now begin to be alive to the
ridicule u hick attaches to their favourite mea-
sures. They would have had no objection to
fasten on the poor Spaniards the Inquisition and
Monachism; and they now feel mortified that
the Spaniards have not been debased enough to
submit. They feel like those who have, made
the advances to a dirty job and been repulsed.—
The trading and industrious, the virtuous and re-
ligious, among ourselves, all feel abhorrence at
the countenance given 1.0 an attempt to restore
the Iminlsition, to restore the most odious des-
potism, to give up a people a prey to a lazy
priesthood, the corrupters of their morals, and
the CAUYeS of general poverty and wretchedness.

flag. The British Ambassador has lectured the
Divan severely on the occasion, and appears, by
intelligence from Odessa, to have procured the re-
storation of the merchantmen—subject, however,
to their returning to Odessa, instead of prose-
cuting their outward voyage. Peace with Russia,
if we may infer any thing from the language of
the British Minister, is yet very far from secure;
while, as he informs us, and as indeed we are
ready from long experience to believe, the in-
terests of this country are sacrificed to the hope
of preserving it between these foreign Powers,—
many questions, and of importance to Great
Britain, being still afloat, and postponed by the
English Ambassador to the discussion of subjects
in which his Sovereign and Country are but in-
directly concerned.—(Mid.)
