THE SUN.

SOLEM QUIS DICEILE FALSON AUDEAT

LONDON, -
WEDNESDAY, JULY 9, 18 3.

We have received the Paris Papers of Sunday,
tnid have given extracts from them in our pre-
ceding columni. The Bulletin of Major-General
I ILLiMINOT, of the 30th ult. reports a number
of skirmishes in. which the French have been en-

gaged iu various quarters with the Guerillas, who
are thus at length acknowledged to be actively
employed in harrassing the invaders. The Major-
G eneral of course claims the advantage in all these
affairs ; but it is only necessary to recollect the
total destruction with which MINA has been so
ofteu ofliciaity overwhelmed, and which more re-
cently annihilated the army of. Lorcz 13.0i0s in
order to be convinced that the Spaniards could
,give a very different account of the exploits of
their Guerillas. As an example of the utter dis-
tvgard, of truth which characterizes' the French
accounts, we refer our Readers to an article,
dated 4‘ Gerona, ,9.9 th June," the writer of
%Welt has the effrontery to assert, that " No-
thing is doing in Catalonia," and that 44 there
has -not been a- single action since the de.
feat of MINA 1." The Spaniards, by the
way, are guilty of a reprehensible negligence
not publishing regular reports of their military
operations, an dmission on their part which
is of great advantage to the cause of their ene-

mies. MINA very rarely communicates with
the Government ; and of the proceedings
of some of the other Commanders not a
word has been heard since the entrance of
the French into the Peninsula. Indeed, the
French have the manufacture of intelligence
uhnost entirely in their own hands, and are
enabled to give nearly any colouring to the
state of affairs that is likely to promote their
views of unjust aggression.—LopEz BANos)

it appears', as we yesterday anticipated, has
actually lauded two thousand. live hundred
men at the port of Cadiz ; and so far were the
French, from having had the power to destroy
his corps, that before his embarkation he had
sent off his cavalry to join the Fourth Army,
with which their services would be more vats.-
,
able than within the Isle of Leon.—The Madrid
accounts from Cadiz are to the 2ith ; and yet, so
far are they from confirming the alleged disper-
sion of VILLA CAMPA'S Army, that, though they
slate the deposition of that General from his
command, because he had given cause to
suspect his fidelity to the Constitutional Go-
vernment, they say nothing of the dispersion of
his troops, nor of the alleged junction of a
great portion of them with the French. Upon
the whole, we see no rea§on to despair of the
Spanish cause,. Many persons who know the
Spaniards well,—who witnessed their conduct in
the lest war for their independence, and who
fought and struggled with them against the
arms of BUONAPARTE, say that nothing has
as • yet happened which was not to be
expected, and that at the moment when they
seem to be the most depressed, they will begin to
astonish the world by their etter4y and petsever.
ance. It requires the actual pressure of present
suffering and present insult to rouse them from
their natural indolence, but when once the neces.
sity for exertion has been forced upon them,
when once their hatred of foreigners has been

fairly inflamed, and their pride stimulated to
resist oppression and to seek for vengeance upon
their oppressors, there is nothing which their
obstinacy will not endure rather than yield to
French domination.

An Express from Paris this morning. is said to
have brought the French Funds 89f. 46c.—
Spanish, Mi.—There was no political news of
any importance.

We have trees ' favoured, from a very distill.
guished quarter, with-the follwo in;; " Politica

Dialogue." It is only necessary, in expressing

our general concurrence in the reasoning of the
writer of the Dialogue, which indeed is founded

on the same views with those which we have un

'ormly taken of the Spanish question, to make a

exception as to the assumed personal character of
the Emperor ALEX AND ER, and as to the inferences
which are drawn from that assumption. We have
the best reasons for believing that the present Em-
peror of RUSSIA is wholly uninfluenced by nip-
tives of aggrandizement in the important part
which he takes in the policy of Europe. Al.
though the effects of the measures pursued by the
Alliance of which his ImPerial Nlajesty is a
I<•lTember, whatever may be the motives in which
they have originated, are certainly prejudicial
to the liberties and civilization of Mali.

kind, and though It is equally true that
there is a spirit in Russia which may,
under another Sovereign, occasion serious dan-

ger to the European system, 'yet ue are sa-
tisfied of the good intentions of the Emperor
ALEXANDER, and of his unalterable resolution
to resist every proposition for undertaking any
war, whose object shall be the extension of his
own dominions, or the increase of his power and
influence on the Continent :
" A POLITICAL DIALOGUE.

- -
Who has caused the war in Spain ?—The
Holy Affiance.
How has that Alliance produced it ?—By as-
sisting the. French Ultras to overthrow the mo-
derate Ministry of the Duke de Richelieu, and
by fomenting discord in Spain to furnish a pre-
text for war.
What is the Holy Alliance?--An engine of
hypocrisy, formed by the ambition of the Ern-
peror Alexander to attain universal Monarchy,
by introducing absolute Government into every
country.
Why does he prefer this system?—Because,
as soon as all the States of Europe shall be thus
reduced to their physical forces, Russia, which
is the most extensive, will be the strongest.
What proof is there of the ambitious views of
Alexander ?—Witness his conduct towords Po-
land, Sweden, &c.
Why is Austria a Member of the Holy Al-
liance ?—Because that Power wants its aid to
rule over Italy.
And why Prussia ? Because that Government
makes use of it to controul her subjects.
Why did France take part in it?--For the
same reason as Prusssiai
How is this system of Government maintained
in Austria ?---By the Police.
And in Prussia ?—Chiefly by the want of
energy in the people.
Who governs France ?—A Coterie, composed
of emigrants and of some miserable Buena-
partists.
Why does she go to war?--To have an army
devoted to her.
What use does she intend to make of the
army ?---A means of enriching herself.
What is her anxiety in the war ?—To be able
to withdraw this army safe.
On whit assistance does she rely ?—ntemoral
forces of the Holy Alliance, and some subsidies
'from that body.
Why not on its physical forces ?—Because
there are men enough in France ; and because

'also by this means they keep clear of the scruples
of England.
What is the general interest of Great Britain ?
To hold the balance against kushia.
Whence can she derive her principal support?
In moral forces.
Which of these forces are now the most power-
ful among the people of Europe ?—liiberal ideas.
England in that situation that she may bring
these moral forces into action ?--Yes, because
the physical forces of Russia are brougha through
the medium of the French into action in the

Peninsula,. •
Is there any ether reason why she Should act
in this manner ?—Yes, because the , Emperor
Alexander is reducing hiS army to conceal his
ambitious views, and that he mav be able to give
pecuniary succours to 'France.
'Ought England to sunport Constitutional
.
.Spain ?—Yes, because the geographical position
of Spain renders her the most important point in
the-political balance of Europe,: in opposition to
Russia.
How ought she to do it ?—IIy the means of
moral forces.
Ought she at the same time to preserve her
neutrality ?--Yep, as long
as
Russia or the Holy
Alliance. does not render more assistance to
France than it gives now.
Ought England to protect the Constitution of
Spain ?—Not precisely the Constitution, but her
independence.
Is it possible to forM a treaty between }ranee
and Spain ?—Yes, but at the expencti of the in-
dependence of Spain.
Why ?—Because that order of things must be
supported by an army, and any other than the
Constitution of the Cortes would have to be main-
tained by the French army, as the Defenders of
the. Faith are not capable of forming one.
1n a hat manner can a system be establiihd in
Spain a hich shall promote, her own safety, with-
out compromising that of other States?— Let the
French army return to France; and the Spaniards,
who are in want of repose after so many years
suffering, will desire nothing, better than to re-
main quiet at home and abroad ; their Consti-
tution, moreover, a ill modify itself by practice,
and in a very short time it will become aristocra-
tical enough, and easy of management' by an
intelligent executive power, to Avid* it oilers
every facility."

usual energy of his character, resolutely prohibit
such contemptible interpolations ; the Tom and

imaginations; the other Police 'Magistrates will
doubtless follow his example, and the public will
receive no reports but those sanctioned by truth
