[FRO 74 THE CONSTITUTIOXWEI.I
The reports of war gain -strength every day
~;.!!Contracts are spoken of, which would make us
believe that the army was, put on a war footing.
regiments of the Royal Guard are designated,
which are to march after having drawn lots the
Cenerals are mentioned who have received orders
to prepare for the campaign. 'The Duke of An-
goulthue is to be General-in=Chief, it is said,and to
'have under his orders the Marshals Mikes of Bel-
luno and Reggio. The cavalry is tube commanded
4sy General Bourdesoult. An army of reserve is
also spoken of, to be formed at Tours, under the
orders of Marshal Suchet. But what has carried
'the alarm of the-citizens to-an extreme,is the affec-
tation with which some journals insinuate that rani-
ous foreign armies are to he put into motion, and
'that the Austrians are to march towards Nice—
the Prussians and Bavarians towards the Rhine.
"These are the reports•which are constantly
•ctilttted by certain fereign sgents, and also that
'the 100,000, Russians destined so long to aid the
-AG reeks, are 'coming with forced marches to cloys-
:List: the Spaniarda.. Every body knows that
:France is the high road to the Pyreunees, and it
is known to what.expence every day's ration and
'quartering in the country will cost her. The
inances of the three Governments which formerly
Poland, to pacify it, are not in very excel-
lent conditioe, but according to our fanatics, those
of France can and ought to answer all demands ;
'for at present nobody flatters himself that Eug-
land will subsidize Russia to ensure her domi.
Hion over the Continent, and to facilitate her
acquisition of some important point in the Medi-
4erranean. 'lt was yesterday 'remarked that the
:English sold large 'quantities of Rentes, anti this
cireumstaner contributed not a little to the fall
of the funds. This is the more vexatious, as the
time approaches for paying the liquidation, and
all the calculations.of the 'Minister of Fintmce for
'the two last Sessions will be very much deranged.
It has been observed, however, with .pleasure,
that-the Jour:tat des Debats preserves a profound
Silence on the reports of war. It was announced
the day before yesterdatv that it would contain
41 very warlike article, Perhaps it was thought
better to
.postpone it on account of the strong
liymptoms Of a fall in credit and of uneasiness
,:'ranch are so Manifest. We are, however, in the
Inost extraordinary position that a country with a
representative Government can well be in. It is a
xec.eived axiom, that such a Government is it
'Government of opinion, but notwithstanding
minefy-nine out of a hundred .people in France
•ordently desire peace, and of the insignificant
Iraittion which speaks for war, a large number
would not see it undertaken without uneasiness,
does it happen that war is decided on ? It
"is a very dillicult problem to resolve.
hetterslroto Spain, dated the 14th inst., have announced in
;positive terms that the Spanish Ministry had concluded the con-
.ditionsof alonn with a body of merchants and capitalists, by w hich
-the latter hare engaged to supply the Government of the Peuin-
,attla with several millionwof Realm. It was conjectured at Madrid
!:that the English Ambassador had not a little contributed to do
• away the obstacles to this new private loan. Patriotism had
~derived fresh vigour from this circumstance.—(llid.)

;mended his passports. Tim whole population of Madrid was

The public funds have Continued falling to-day. This Till,
which WM stopped at the moment of shutting the bar; basaince
continued. It is superfluous to say that this fall hay been oc-
•coadonedby the opinion more and more bellec,ed that War is'
resolved on, and that, the part of the Ministry till now favour-
-able to the maintenance of peace, have thought necessary, for
the preservation of their places, to join themselves to the par-
Ours of war. Thb Jeurnat des Mbar, which, for the seventh
or eight time Within these two months, bat changed its tone,
codeine, and line dfconduct, is quoted-as indisputable aittho
' •:Thy by those who, pretend hat the Minister, Whose organ it is,
• renounced his pacific plan in order to keep hisplace; it'is one
of those sudden conversions very common in the times in which
we live, the example of which M. tie Montmorency hiss at
least had the honour' not to imitate. There is alsoquoted to-
-day, in support Of the rumours of war, an answer of his Ex-
celLsncy the Minister of the Interior to some representations
that have been made in 'favour of commerce, from which an-
swer his Excellency appeared more struck with the doctrines
developed in the Nola tithe Allied Powers, than, with that
solicitude of Which commerce believes for the intereat of France
•it ought to be the apecial object.
• To complete the disappointment of sensible nienor to gratify
those who are gifted with gaiety sufficiently tenacious to hiugh
at the most serious objects, the Dade gives us this evening a
viow of the favourable chance* that a war spina Spain pre-
• !rots, It as that the Armies or the Faith, which have
,not been able to stand against a handful of Constitutional
'--aoldiers, will become' invincible, when supported by a hun-
, died thousand Frtxicli, which hundred thousand French ere'
