A long political article, in another column,
( See Tilt,. SUN of this da) will arrest the
attention of our readers, chiefly because it
is dated from St. Petersburgh, although Vienna,
Berlin, or Paris would have answered for
a birthplace equally well. The stamp it bears
is not simply Russian ; it is that of " the
Powers" of the present age—that of calm, self
satisfied, instinctive despotism, such as unhap-
pily every age has witnessed. The writer never
onto Condescends to lose his temper, not even
when speaking of the Spanish Constitution, so
convinced is he by his own arguments, or so con-
fident in those which he may, on an emergency,
have recourse to. The aim of this love-breathing
manifesto, however,being to justify to reasonable
men the overthrow of human liberty throughout
Europe, something more was necessary to be
done than borrowing from the King of France's
speech the fundamental doctrine of legitimacy ;
and, in fact, some improvements have been made
upon that first principle by the paper before us ;
some decorations not unlike the bolts, chains, and
ropes emblazoned on the front of Newgate, have
been affis'ed by the Muscovite artist to the outer
walls of that imperial arid royal prison house,
which its owners have destined to confine for ever
the dearest rights, the loftiest attainments, the
intelligence, the spirit, the public virtue, and
growing fortunes of mankind. The King of
France, in his speech, proclaimed to the world
that it aas because' the Spaniards had enslaved
their King, e French army was to march for his
liberation. There is a shift of ground by the St.
Petersburgh apologist, and a large advance in
matter of principle. By him we are told that
the French army was made use of against the
Spaniards, that the French Government might
have less to fear, not from Spain, but from its
own disaffected subjects ! flnonaparte's old nos-
trum, a foreign war, was to be kidted• up, that
the minds of the French people might be diverted
frem brooding over the misdeeds of their own
rulers, and that passion for military glory, which
had so long been Called the scourge of humanity,
and *hid% the " Settlement of Europe" had been
frpried expres'ly to annihilate, is called forth
again by those who had smarted so cruelly under
its former application, and brandisked over the
bucks of the'iieople of Spain, who- had nobly
freed their, present oppressors from its torments !
This, then, Is the profound wisdom—this the
United " consistency" of the Holy Alliance,
whose advocate accuses them of tire cc grossest
" inconsistency and contradiction," had they not
adapted midi means to tranquillize the Spanish
nation, which only their treachery had disturbert
—One %soul more may be sufficient to thew the
true bearing of this hsif-official document. The
Inquilitiou hs salt to be regarded by "the whole
SiOtll6ll ration as one of the main pillars of ow
" Spanish Monarchy !" Then it is the scheme of
the Holy Alliance that the Holy Office shalt be
restored. Let the Spaniards look to this look,
Frenchmen,' what is In stove for you, when Fer.
&multi shall have remounted on the necks of his
eonquered people, and French soldiers shall have
been successfully blooded in the cause of one
tyrant of the House of Bourbon.

German Papers. broullit us yesterday a semi.
official article from St. Petersburgh, which may
be considered as an Expose of the motives which
induced, the Russian Emperor to act as he has
done in the great question of interference in the
internal affairs of Spain. Though in some mea-
sure on apology for the past, it displays a tone of
exultation at the state of the present, and the
triumph supposed to have been achieved over the
liberties of the Peninsula, which we trust may
prove as premature as, it, is disgusting. Weak and
sophistical as are the arguments which it uses,
they possess the additional character of being
founded on positive and wilful
.misrepresenta-
antis. Not one point is stated fairly and
honestly. The object is to delude, and even the
clear and open line of policy pursued by this
country during and after the Congress of Verona,
her firm and decided opposition to the principle
on which the Allies acted, tier protest against the
invasion of a free people for the purpose of put.
ting down its Constitution, and the steps which
she took to save the Peninsula from actual ag.
gression and violence, are turned by Imperial
alchemy into as many proofs " that on the prin-
ciple's which led to the war, England agreed
with the other Powprs," and that " the British
Ministers considered the political changes in the
Peninsula as opposed to the existing European
system .9
sys After such a violation of known,
public, and wapay say historical truth, nothing
contained in such a document can deserve, refu-
tu.t,ittt,. l.t is of a piece with the enterprise
whafi it seeks to jto4ify and. exceeds in folly,
at the othor does in io;iplity.
