LON DON,
THURSDiIy, FEBRUARY 13, ,1823.

There appears to be little reason for doubting
• ,that the extraordinary and most unworthy
avowals, said to have been made by M. de VII.-
'ALE in the French Chamber of Deputies, were
not exaggerated in the first Report given of them
by the Journal du Commerce ; for there has as
yet been no denial of them either from
authority, or from any of the Royalist
'Members of the Chamber, who, if the ac-
gount had been false, wank' have been eager
to rescue the character of tho Minister; and
with his, that of their country, from • the foul
stigma of having excited in Spain those very
disturbances which now serve as the pretext
for invasion. The Journal du Commerce, in-
deed, informs us, that there has been circulated
in Parts " a somewhat different version of the
Speech , which M. de VILLELE made, unpre.
P4redlY, yesterday, in the Secret Committee,
41" Nit which we gave upon the authority

of general converSation.":. guieTieu' lre'in this
new version " it appears[that his Excellency, in
giving an account of the conduct which the MI-,
,nistry believed itself bound to pursue, with re-
spect to Spain, did indeed give it to be under-
stood that they' had fa rniihed pecuniary assistance
'to the bands of'the Faith; but he said, with great
reason, that it had not been considered. con-
sistent with the dignity of the Government
openly to encourage Hostilities on the, fron-
tiers .of a country in which we had an Am-
bassador ! "—The Journal du Commerce, in
noticing the statement alluded to, makes no
retractation of its own previous representa-
tions. Indeed, those representations are so far
from being contradicted, that they are corrobo-
rated,' or rather SubstantiallY confirmed, by the-,
acknowledgment that . the Army of the Faith
Were supplied with money, and that hostilities
were only not openly 'encouraged !
The Address of the Chamber of Deputies, in
answer to the Kixo's Speech is even more,war-
like, and is much more servile than 'that of the
Peers ! The Peers, 'as we abserVed at • the
time, omitted to echo that part of the Royal Do-
cument which asserts that:the Spanish Nation
can only hold itsrinstitutions-from
The Deputies, on the other. hand; respond to the
KING in these terms • ci It is to yOur Majesty,
Sire, that it belongs to deliberate is for us
to concur, by all our efforts, in the noble enterprise
of suppressing anarchy, to recogniT.,e peaceelone,
to restore,to liberty a Prince of your blood, to
insure the repose of Spain, to. consolidate that of

France, to deliver from the yoke of .oppression
a magnanimous people who assisted ills to burst
our own fetters, and who can Only receive from
their ' legitimate Sovereign .Institulions con-
formable to their views and manners." Nothing
can . equal the servility and absurdity or these
sentiments, except some of the others which
.are ifxkessed in the Sallie address. The
.Deputies of France have themselves proclaimed
that their only duty is to concur in the decisions
of the King ; and that the restoration to absolute
power of a Spanish Bourbon is With them a suf-
ficient motive for plunging Prance into war ! It
is evide►►t that this is tl►e only real object
of the war : for all the sounding decla-
mation respecting the restoration of repose to
Spain, and the consolidation of that of France, is
destroyed by the simple
,facts, that Spain is only
in commotion in consequence of: French artifice)
and that the tranquillity of France is not dis-
turbed.

The Mondeur contains six Royal Ordinances,
all hearing a relation to warlike operations
For determining the price at which gunpowder
is to be delivered for the use of Government
during the year 1823 ; '2, For the .organiza.
tion of a second squadron of artillery drivers
3, For providing the infantry and cavalry
of the Army of Obseswation With SOCUre
conveyances for their ha,s-4age and papers;
4, For the formation of four companies of sal:
Biers, d'ambulance, for the service of Ow armies;
5, For the formation of a third battalion to the
twenty last regiments of infantry of the line;
G, Ear the creation of four new regirnertts of
infantry of the lint.
