the other inevitable causes of war navtng cnsap-
peered, may we not indulge the hope that this
last will be found not more unyielding than its
predecessors, especially since we have the impor-
tant acknowledgment from the war Party them-
selves, that it had been determined that, against
the principles of the Spanish revolution,the French
Ministry would not make war! Besides, the
French Ultras, in their precipitation, do not seem
to reflect with proper coolness and deliberation
on the attitude and dispositions of England. We
can now declare, with a confidence which we should
not previously hare been warranted to assume,
that the British Government does not at present
anticipate that there will be war between France
and Spain,—that this Government has .exerted
its influence to prevent a war,—and, that it will
probably leave no means untried to deter France
from an enterprise which is not only pregnant
with peril, but is unjust in itself.---There may be a
war, It is true ; but it is at present exceedingly
improbable. The affair of the violation of ter-
ritory is really too ridiculous to require further
exposure; and as for the vague threats held
out in the Circular of the three Powers, tan.
guage equally strong, and with the exception of
the withdrawal of the Ambassadors, of the same
import, and almost in the same terms, was ad-
dressed to the Spanish Ambassador at St. Peters'.'
burgh, in a note of the Russian Government,
soon after: the re-establishment of the Constitu-
tion of the Spanish Cortes ! !!

SUN OFFICE, One o'Clock.—The following is
an Extract from a private Letter received from

Paris this morning :
" An extraordinary Courier has arrived from
Madrid, which capital he left on the 7th instant.
At the time of his departure the Revolutionists
were in a state of frantic desperation ; the people
were in great commotion ; and in the Clubs
the most violent speeches were made. Strong
symptoms of discontent were also manifested,
and every thing announced the approach of a
great catastrophe. The Foreign Ministers were
only waiting for the French Minister, to quit

Madrid immediately."
We cannot answer for the truth of the state-
ments in the preceding extract. if authentic to
their full extent, they may be regarded as favour-
able to peace, since the alleged distraction in the
capital of Spain would compel the Spanish Go.
vernment to make such concessions as would
satisfy France.---While we ure adverse to the
project of invading Spain, we shall not be sorry
if the Spaniards themselves should effect Some
modification of their Constitution.

ERIOiN ENTERPRIZE.—A tie* field for
cort►mercial adventure has been opened between
Missouri and the Empire of Mexico. Colonel
COOPER has recently returned to St. Louis from
n successful commercial expedition to Santa Fe.
le drove three loaded waggOns from Boon's
Uck into the tOwn. of Santa Fe, for the contents
of which, in return, he brought back specie and
some hundred males. The road is represented
to be good, the country being open and
level, and abounding with grass for horses!—
The people of Santa Fe expressed a great desire
for a commercial intercourse with Missouri. It
would be a singular event if the Western States,
who have suffered so severely from the scarcity
of specie, whilst those of the East possessed com-
paratively plenty, shOuld now have it in their
power to supply the latter with the precimis
metals.

BRIUILTON, s.—The KiNG, we have the
happiness to state, continues to improve in health.
The answer to inquiries at the Palace this day,
-without variation, has been, " His itIAJEsTY is
Heller."--Among the very many of Nobility who
left their Signatures at the Palace this morning,
Mr. JustiCe BAYLEY was included.

• Lord FRANCIS CONYNODAI.--It has been
-stated as an extraordinary circumstance that this
young Nobleman has been appointed Under Se.
cretay of State for Foreign Affairs, The truth,
however, is that young persons have for many
years been selected for that office. It was occu-
pied by Sir FRANCIS VINCENT, and by the present
LORD LIVERPOOL, both in early life, as prepara-
tory to political education. We shoUld regret
that in the present instance it was attended by
the removal of so respecsable and intelligent a
,gentleman as Mr. 13AchmonsE, if it were not un-
-derstood that he proceeds to India.
• The wealthy members of the Jewish persuasion
have, for more than a century, been in the prac-
tice of making their children 'C Wards of the
,/Court of Chancery." A reference to the Ac-
peuntant General's office will chew some very
heavy old accounts of this nature.

happy to learn, 13 pearly recovered from his late
