TITLE I V..-- Of the Cortes. '. t

Art. L There shall be a Cortes, or an asseniblrof all classes
of the Spanish Nation, divided into three- benches,-viz. The
bench of the Clergy. the bench of the Nobility, and the bench
of the people. The first shall be coMpesed of the Bishops
and Prelates of the Church of Spain and the Indies
The second of the Nobles the third of the Deputies of the
Universities, of those of the great commercial towns, of the ag,rl.
cultural cantons or districts, and of the General Deputies of the
provinces and kingdoms composing the Spanish .Monarchy.

2. A project of law t‘hall fix the amount of the annual

other projects uf law, shall be submitted to the deliberation and
approbation of the Cortes by the Council of State,

duct of Ministers, their denunciations or accusations of offences

court of Justice for Investigation.

The following important statement has been
pnbliShed by the Spanish Constitutional Govern-
ment, and has been received with Cadiz Papers
to the 3d of September. Our Renders will see
that it was full time that England should resolve
on sending out Consuls to the South American
States,—a measure which in fact amounts to a re-
cognition of their independence. .We much fear,
that if the French succeed in their Un►principled
invasion of Spain, more decisive and momentors
steps on the part of Great Britain will soon be
found necessary for the assertion of her rights
and the maintenance of her interests. It ap.
pears to us that the .English people have
more reason than ever to wish that the French
may be effectually beaten in the Peninsula.--
The triumph of Constitutional Spain would, in
all seeming probability, avert
,from this country
the necessity of entering at ,no-distant date on a
defensive war. If the French come out of Spain
victorious, we shall be forced to come to blows
With them 'at last. We were always of opinion
that it would have been better to meet them
at once on the south side of the Bidassoa, and
to crush their projects of aggrandizement in the
very bud, even although we might have hf ea
charged with making common cause with Re-
volutionists. The time may soon arrive when
the fall of the Constitutional Government in
Spain (if it. does fall) •will be grievOusly deplored
by some of those who now exult over the prospect
of its overthrow, and when we shall be glad to
make common cause with any power width is
Able to assist us in maintaining a balance in
Europe, and: iu upholding the rights and inde-
pendence of nations. •

" The Government has just learnt that on the 18th of last
January, the Captain of the French frigate Le Tame landed r t
'the Castle of .St. John de Ullua, accompanied by two persons,

tion. The recommendations of which they were the hearers •
from their own Government, their having landed with sixty
I • •
trunks of baggage, and their besides having bills on Vera Cruz
for . 16,000 dollars, indorsed hy. French merchants and by the
public Finance Minister of the latter nation, led to some sus- .
picions, and they were watched, in order that the real object
of their mission might be ascertained when it.appeared.that
the principal of the feigned merchants is a Colonel of En-
gineers, named Julien schmaltz, Knight of St. Louis, Extra-
ordinary Envoy of his Most Christian Majesty, besides .the

said emissaries are instructed to communicate to thbir Ministry
by two frigates, which are to go at a seasonable time to Vera
