Our columns are so crowded with the contents
of the French Papers, and with the important
Debates last night in Parliament, that we can
do little more than merely point them out to
the attention of our Readers. The Speech
of the President of the Spanish Cortes, while
it intimates that there is a disposition to ne-
gociate with France, if propositions are offer-
ed by the latter Power to which the Spanish
Government can listen with honour, breathes, at
the same time, the firmest determination rather
to perish with the country than to subject it to
degradation.
