Paris Papers' and letters of Tuesday evening
Nye been received, as well as the rilote, bearing
the, tlate of Wednesday morning, most re-
markable fact which they notice is a violent
Opposition speech by M. do Lubourdotmaye,
a royal It Member of the Chamber of Deputies,
denouncing M. de Villele for want of due energy
and decision in conducting the war against
M. de. Labourdonnaye is a nobleman of distin-
guished loyaltb-one of the heroes of La Vend&,
—the faithful—the glory of France ; but in thus
promoting divisions among the friends of the mo-
narchy, he is unconsciously, but most power-
fully, promoting the cause of revolution. On
the other hand, we grant that M. de Villele's
error is an excessive caution ; but he is a man of
unimpeachal4 integrity anti of unquestionable
talent. It is no alight triumph to the itoyal
cause to possess now, for the first time, such a
union of qualities in a Prime Minister.---The
French Royalists have nothing, to fear from
the Revolutions either of their own country or of
Spain, if they will but be united among them-
selves. Let them renounce their contemptible
squabbles in Ow Chamber of Deputies, and
turn all their attention to' the composition
of their own civil and, military power, Let
them remove every suspicious character from
the army—let them replace in office every indi-
vidual that was turned out by De'cazet These
two points tire indispensable to shew to Prance
and to Europe that they are sincere, honest, and
consistent. Generzl Guilleminot continues with
tbe-Dulte d'Atigoulente as Chief of his stoff.--
This is another perplexing fact. •If it be true,
us generally asserted, that this Officer is an
avowed Liberal, and that be has surrounded
himself with men of still more equivocal sett-
timents In politics, it does seem very strange
that he, above all ethers', should be placed
in so responsible a situation. Upon matters'
of this kind we are weary of speculating.—
tlie Allied Governments have in their turns'
app'e•aretr to be possessed with an absolute mania
for employing or countenancing the men of the
ilevolution. Ney was a favourite of the Rm.
peror or Russia : England successively patronized
Poucbe, Talleyrandr and Decaze ; and to this
hour the Chiefs of the Neapolitan and Piedmon-
tese Carbottari are flattered and caressed by
many of our Nobility. These facts. will stnngely
puzzle the political speculators of a future era. '

[MORNING cuttomet.,F.i
The. conversation which lately took place, be-
tween Lord John Russell anti Mr. Canning in
the Hem. of Conimons, has given rise to some
curious 'specillations. hi, the Official Cazettes of

the French and British Governments. The
Journal des Debuts (M. de Villele''s Paper), an-
swers Lord J. Russell's question by stating, that
"' the four Allied Sovereigns have declared ht
the most formal manner their resolution to take
requisite measures against any Revolution what-
soever which might menace the legitimate
order established in France,- of which the
dynasty of the Bourbons is the basis. . . .
and that although neuter in respect to the
Spanish revolution, England still continues a
party to the defensive alliance against Revolu-
tionists in France." These phrases require some
examination in order to arrive, not at their in-
tended, but at their trttc meaning. It may be
true that England has entered into a defensive
alliance against revolutionists in France ; but
it does not follow that she has engaged to up.
hold the Bourbon dynasty, or rather Louis the
XVIII. and his immediate family. A case
exactly explanatory of our meaning exists at this
moment. Louis XVIII., and the Priests who sur
round him, are at this very moment conspiring to
revolutionize France. The bed-ridden King of
France and his crazy relations are turning every
stone to find the means of exciting the people of
France to- substitute for a miserable and wicked
Government a rule of wisdom and justice. It is
against these people, then—against these stirrers
up of rebellion, that England has entered into a
defensive alliance. But her Allies : they have
already violated the Treaty, and are urging on
the incendiary Government of France to create
a revolution. Revolutionists are those who cause
revolutions. Is there a man of common sense in
Europe who will say, that if a revolution should
occur in France, it will not have been caused by
Alexander and his creatures, the Pozzo faction
at Paris ? Then England is pledged to oppose
herself to these people. IVe can assure M. de
Villele that this is the way in which the people
of England will interpret the treaty into which
it is said that England has entered. So much for

[BRITISH PRESS.]
We have the Paris Papers to Wednesday
morning, with the Evening Papers- of Tuesday ;
they contain, in factinothing of importance.--
The remnant of the bands of the ferocious Trap-
pist, on the frontiers of Navarre, has been en-
tirely rooted and disperied. The French Ca-
binet
is said to have received a letter in Ferdi-
nand, the King of. Spain's own hand-writing, and
countersigned by our Ambassador, Sir W.A.'CoAtrt,•
requesting the King of France, to suspend any
hostile movement on Spain. Feeble us such an
effort us this would be on. the part ,of Eng-
land, and little as any thing coming from. Fer-
dinand would now be attended to by the
party ruling in Vrancey yet .we should not he
surprised if such a communication were gladly
seized on as a pretext for withdrawing from a
contest now .seen, by every well-informed officer
in the French army,, to be ruinous. Report's
prevailed at Boulogne, that the differences be.
tween, both countries had been arranged, and
that a telegraphic notice had been given to that
effect. Mr. Sharp arrived in the express boat,
is ith dispatches for our Foreign Minister ; and
on stating the fact at the Custoin-house he was
14110 at Ancet and procectivd on to London
with the greatest. rapidity. The French papers
of the 31st March and Ist April, are almost
wholly occupied with the debate on the
Blidget. Their columns are filled with a
loefg and vehement speech, by the ultra La
Bourdonnaye for whose heated feelings of furious

•Royalism, even the present insane preparations
of the French Cabinet are too slow. La Boar-
donnaye remarked 64 on the tardy and indecisive
policy of M. de Villele with regard to Spain, and
on the failure of his promises when lie entered
the Ministry, that Royalist principles should
obtain a signal triumph." Infuriate as this speech
is,,it yet discloses some 'truths'. It depicts the
vacillating policy of the French Cabinet well,
when it talks "of the ambulatory diplomacy placed
in the rear of the army, to watch for a moment of
weakness, and to seize a conciliation by sur-
prise."' M. de Villelo replied to this speaker,.
huti'onfined himself almost whdlly to the de-
fence of the Budget on financial calcUlations. He
closed by saying, " 1
,limit myself to these ex-
planations, the only ones which would be worthy
of you or of ourselves " (which was generally
applauded).—Private letters from Bayonne of
the `,26th March state, that the murderous
Trappist was entirely defeated near 'run, and
returned to Bayonile, followed 'only by one ser-
vant. The campaigns. of this enthusiast have
been singularly successful. Questida, who passed
the frontier (this letter says), baatilso beeftcorn-
pletely routed. Ballasteros had arrived at At.So-
btritinn on the '2oth: Every thing in Spain speaks
determination and energy. Foreign invasion seems
to' have united all parties,-Lit has been the grave
of faction. The most prejudiced observer must
now see, from the situation of that country, and
'the state of. the French army, that conquest is
of t of the question, and that with modetate aid
Spain can effectually defend her independence
without any armed interference by this country.
.The liberties of the greater part of Europe rest
on her sword, and it is well that the struggle
abides with this gallant and high-spirited people.
In their hands- and keeping'the deposit is safe.
