happiness of Europe—the few against the many;
then would Chateaubriand have spoken some-
thing like sober fact and truth. To the October
Congress, it is stated, that not only powers
of the first, but tWose of a second and third
order, will be adritiated. If they are, it will be
only'for the purpose of preventing their granting
constitutions or any portion of freedom to their
subjects. The conduct of Wirtemberg incurred
the resentment of the three great powers ; and
menaces will be employed against the other States
and their Sovereigns, so as to insure, if possible,
universal despotism, and imprint the general
brand of tyranny on man throughout Europe.
We; hope no Minister from Great Britain will
again degrade his country, by appearing in her
name at,this infamous Congress. We have had
more than enough of national disgrace, from
the discussions at Verona. We have no
more •Julluence or character to lose. This
Confederation may again unite, and threaten
the march of their mercenaries—Croats, Pandours,
Cossacks, and Calmucks, from the Pyrenees
to the Peaks of Caucasus, against an free nations
—hilt should Spain still go on strengthening her
defence, and the hearts and arms of her popnla-
don be It ith her, the force of the invaders will
disappear from her soil, and, with her situation
and position, she may laugh the threats of the
associated tyrants to utter scorn ; nay more, her
great example will spread like wildfire through
Europe, and the Holy Alliance will find that
bayonets cannot drain out the rich blood of
liberty that flows in warm currents from the
heart, or keep,, down the rising spirit of man
against oppression, when it becomes general and
determined among indignant millions.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
The Paris Papers of Monday contain no news
of importance relating to the war. The Courier
Francais, however, gives a singular document
from a very influential personage, the celebrated
Don Carlos d'Espagne, Viceroy, General and
Captain-General of the Kingdom of Navarre,
who, along with Count Achille tie Jouffroy,
played such an important part in the Negotia-
tions at Vienna and Verona. Vie request our
readers to peruse this document attentively,
and to bear in mind while they read it, that
the war in Spain was undertaken with a
view t 6 give effect to the principles frankly
avowed by this man. They will bear also in
mind, that though the ablest and most respect-
able of our Ministers may have condemned the
war, yet that a majority of the Cabinet, power-
fully supported, wished success to the French
and their Allies of the Faith. The men who
have the Protestant religion constantly in their
mouths, and affect to have the utmost horror of
every thing connected with Catholicism, rejoiced
when events seemed to promise a speedy eleva-
tion to power of the men who think with Don
Carlos of Spain. The satisfaction with which
they dwelt on the inability of - the Constitu-
tionalists to maintain their ground, and predicted 1
the restoration of the old order of things,
could leave no doubt as to their wishes. To do
the Army of the Faith justice, they have never,
from first to last, swerved from the opinions pro-
Mulgated in this document. They told the
world they wished the absolute King and the In-
quisition, and they proscribed every thing like
security for rights and liberties as the greatest of
all abominations. The state of things subsisting
in Spain before the Revolution was then in their
eyes the height of perfection. It-was " the true
civil and political liberty (says Don Carlos)
which the people have always enjoyed under the
paternal and tutelary government of its Catholic
Monarchs." The French Ultras, while they ap-
proved of the principles of the Army of the.
Faith, while they declared the Christian religion
to be essentially intolerant, lamented only that
the state of France presented obstacles to so
,speedy a return to pure Monarchy and pure Re.
ligion as was about to be exemplified in Spain.—
. Accordingly Don Carlos of Spain, acting in the
true spirit of the principles of his party, com-
mends the Tribunals to proceed immediately,
" conformably to the orders of the Regency, to
the confiscation of the
.property, real and personal,
of every milititsman 4.4ervant of the Revolu-
tionary Govern rent, who shall not be at home,
' who shall not"-live sworn an oath of fid-elity to
[
the King our Master, to the Holy religieu, and
who shall not have abjured his errors."—" Every
, .Volunteer militiaman who has marched against
the Royal troops, shall pay, if he belongs to the
cavalry, 11,000 reels," &c. Fines, confiscations,
buntings of hooks and pamphlets—dornlciliary
visits in the manner of the Inquisition in its youth-
ful days,—are the means of goveruing resorted
to by Don Carlos. Now as these opinions have
always been professed by the Alies of the French
in Spain, no part of our Capinet could at any
time be igoorsut of them. What are we to think
of the 'English Statesmen who could for a mo-
ment wish success to their endeavours ? Cont-
ipared with these English Statesmen, Don Carlos
and
,his asSociates are nngels of light.

It is a fake and foolish assumption, thlt those
who oppose the cause of the Spanish Rovoiu-
tionists must of necessity desire the est,ahlish-
meta of despotic power in Spain. Surely there
is such a tbing- us a medium between despotism
and anarchy and it dues not necessarily follow,
that because a man abhors injustice in one shape,
he must like it lii another. This Nper, from
its outset, has been devoted to the principles of
Constitutional Liberty. As we have adhered to
those principles, through evil report and good
report, in all questions of domestic policy, so we
earnestly, wish for their adoption by fortliot Ilit-
tions.—A we have resisted the ignorance and
rash ness 1,1001 would have, laid sacrilegious hands
on the Ark of our own political •Covenaut, so
have %VP contended against those false friends of
Liberty in foreign countries, w ho, under pretence
of salutary reform,, were labouring to bring about
destructive fttvolution. We think, as we said
yesterday, " that trite Liherty is to be beat oh;
tained in every country, itt proportion as the
principles of every Government approach those
