well to see the same man gambling away the inde-
pendence of a great nation for the selfish end of his
own family emolument who, as the Duo DE CHAR-
TEES, fleshed his sword so bravely in the charges of
Jemappes under the banners of DUMOURIER.
King Louis PHILIFPR should have conned over the
lessons imparted by the history of his own country
before be embarked upon this dangerous enter-
prise: He should, as every conscientious So-
vereign does, have read the records of his
people, and have been warned by the blun-
ders of his imperial predecessors. Had he suffi-
ciently weighed the precedents of Gallic interference
in the affairs of Spain, he would have been more
cautious in hazarding the same species of catastrophe
upon a similar enterprise. Possibly, the upholders of
the recent policy of the French SOVEREIGN may
regard these objections to , that policy as of a rather
penultimate character. Not so. -7 he marriage has
undoubtedly been solemnized. Telegraphs and
couriers have unquestionably conveyed the intelli-
gence to Paris. Bonfires have been kindled round
the Pardo, guns have been fired from the
Escurial, flowers and perfumes have been
scattered upon the sacred pavements of
Atocha, in honour of this illustrious occurrence.
The Infanta Lutsi is now Duchess of MONTPEN-
SIER. So far, the wishes of Louts *Punters have
been realised—so far, his insatiable lust of political
influence has been gratified. But, observe the con-
comitants of these proceedings, and behold the
prospects of woe which gloom through this
hollow jubilation. The sullen and ominous silence of
the multitude assembled in the streets ofMadrid on the
entrance of the French Princes, the seizure of refrac-
tory newspapers, the bayonets and artillery that bristled
round the carriage of the foreign bridegroom, the se-
verities which preceded his arrival at the capital, the
unseemly rapidity with which the nuptials were
solemnized—everything betrays the indignation of the
Spanish populace, and the sense of insecurity
which had taken possession of the minds of
the contracting parties. Nor does the silly
attempt at assassination by OLAYARIETTA
sufficiently account for the extraordinary pre-
cautions taken by the gendarmerie for the preserva-
tion of the life of the Due DE MONTPENSIER.
Statements the most garbled have disgraced the
Ministerial journals of Paris, evidently written with
an anxiety to delude the popular imagination. Such
incidents as the determination of the Ayunta-
mientos of Madrid to cause the marriage of twelve
orphans with liberal dotations, in commemoration of
the royal espousals, have been vaunted in terms of
amazing exultation ; while others, such as the refusal of
the Ayuntamientos of Burgos to dispatch a congratu-
latory deputation, have been slurred over as of not the
smallest importance. This ministerial hypocrisy will,
however, prove of no ultimate advantage. The desti
tute condition of Ireland, the implied apathy of the
protesting nation, and the embarrassments supposed
to threaten our Indian possessions, will not,
as is presumed, shield France from the diffi-
culties her rulers have themselves originated.
In relation to these imaginings, we would especially
remind the Ministerial press of Paris, that churlish-
ness is not logic, that parade is not triumph, and that,
though Colonel BLOOD could bear a regalia away
in his pocket, it would be somewhat difficult for any
one to commit a burglary upon a constitution, or to
carry off, surreptitiously, the affections and obedience
of a people.

Great emergencies compel a recourse to extraordi

nary means to overcome transitory and unforesetn
difficulties. The functions of a Government are pri-
marily of an executive character. Their next chief
duty is to take the initiative in legislating upon all
matters of important public interest. This duty is
best performed when the Executive are successful in
anticipating the wants of the people. Inasmuch as
Parliament is not always assembled, and also because,
even when it is, legislation is frequently a tardy pro-
cess, the Government are authorised in many in-
stances by orders in Council, to check an evil, which,
without such intervention, would prove highly in-
jurious to the country ; and again, such is the imper-
fection of human wisdom, that Ministers, overtaken
by unexpected embarrassments of vast national con-
cern, have frequently, and with marked wisdom,
either exceeded a particular law, or altogether set it
aside upon their own responsibility, trusting to
Parliament to indemnify them for their several or
' collective acts. We have recently had a notable
instance of this policy in the conduct of Lord
BESBOEOUOLL The defects of the Labour-rate
Act for Ireland were peculiarly manifest. The Lord-
Lieutenant, warmly pressed by all the leading men
in Ireland to extend its operations, has adopted the
recommendation upon his own responsibility. But,
although this is a wise resolution, yet it is not to be
doubted that It would have been infinitely better in
the Government to have concurred in the propriety
of its adoption much earlier than they did. Much of
valuable time has been lost by the delay, and we are
so much behind hand in carrying out the necessary
means for mitigating the alarming consequences of
the heavy visitation that has fallen upon Ireland.
The evils the Administration had to cope with lay
glaringly on the surface, and weeks ago not a moment
should have been lost by them, in either convening
Parliament for the necessary powers, or in assuming
them, as they have at length done, upon the faith of
future indemnity. This was precisely a state of
things where energy and boldness on the
part of a Government could have been most
happily and efficaciously exhibited ; instead of
which, the Cabinet have failed, to a great extent, in
what is an invaluable portion of their duty, the anti-
cipation of the wants of the community, first, by not
having passed their Labour-rate Bill so as to autho•
rise and include theinvestment of capital in reproduc-
tive works in Ireland, and next by_the procrastina-
tion they permitted previous to curing this defect in
the way we have alluded to. Delay is often tanta-
mount to destruction, and exigencies will not stand
still whilst numerous public meetings are being as-
sembled to indicate to the Executive the adequate
steps to be adopted for warding off great and im-
pending calamities. The celebrated PITT, was in the
habit of having closeted with him the leading mercan-
tile men, and by these means was eminently success-
ful in legislating in due season fur the security of
commercial harmony. Last yeir Sir ROBERT
PEEL, fully alive to the then existing and
greater prospective distress in Ireland, was
prepared to open the ports, and subsequently
stated is Parliament, that had his colleagues not
coincided with his own views, he was fully prepared
to undertake the entire responsibility of that and
every other means for averting the horrors of famine
that menaced to shadow the length and breadth of
the sister isle.
‘Ve have been led to these observations in conse-
quence of an important memorial that has been ad-
dressed to Lord Joint RUSSELL by the working
classes of ilanchester, at a public meeting which
they held in their Town-hall on Tuesday last. They
have entreated the GovernMent to call an immediate
Council, to throw open the ports of the United
Kingdom to all kinds of provisions, free of duty. We
trust the Cabinet Hill promptly accede to their re-
quest,, The rise in the price of bread has within a
short time become nearly equivalent to three-
fifths of its entire cost. The consequence is,
that the receipts of the general tradesman are
seriously diminished, and the home market for
manufactures is already in a languishing
condition. But what should determine the Govern-
ment in favour of the memorialists is, that, by the
statistics presented at their meeting, it would appear
there is in abundance of food in the country, and
that, therefore, the enhanced price of bread is attri-
butable to speculation. We blame not the mono-
plising holders of corn ; they have a right to use
their capital as they think most advantageous to
themselves; but we shall view it as a matter of
serious culpability if, when famine and crime are
haunting us on all sides, the servants of the Crown
should not put_ an end to the noxious system of
gambling which
.is being carried on in the chief
article of human food. Let the ports be promptly
opened; it will immediately once more place the loaf
within the, reach of the starving poor, arrest the hand
of crime,, enliven commerce, and speedily dispel the
gloom which is hourly pervading every portion of
her MAJESTY'S dominions.

We have news from Geneva of the 12th. The
Provisioi al Governmect was conducting affairs in

the most orderly manner, and the canton was per-
fectly tranquil. The party in the ascendant do not
appear disposed to abuse their vi: tor,-, The Berne de
Geneve, which is conducted by M. ?Jr-Alms FAZY, the
chief of the revolutionists, c;)ntains an article strongly
condemnatory of-a propositiOn which had been made
in an anonymous paper circulated through the city
for the formation of an exceptional tribunal for the
trial of those members of the ex-Government who
had ordered the troops to fire on the people.

Madrid papers of the 9th hkve arrived. The He-
rald° says—
" Two days ago it was reported that the British Go-
vernment had sent in another enervtic note against the
consequences of the marriarre of the Infants; but yester-
day we were assured on the contrary that Queen Vic-
toria had written a very satisfactory letter to Louis
Philippe, in reply to one which she had received from
him. The rise of the funds here yesterday is attributed
to this announcement."

The same journal, in allusion to the man who had
been arrested on a charge of attempting to shoot the
Duc DE MONTPENSIER, says there are various rum.ours
as to who he is, but it is disposed to attach credit to a
report that he is the brother of Gne of the tutors of
the daughters of Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA, and that
he is insane, and will probably be confined in one of
the lunatic asylums.
Mr. BULWER returned to Madrid on the evening
of the Bth, and on the same du Mr. COBDEN arrived
in that city.

We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday.
The Madrid correspondent of the Constitutionnel
gives the following account of the reception of the
French Princes in the Spanish capital :

" The space traversed by the Princes from the Bilboa
gate to the Palace is much about the same as that from
the Hotel de Ville at Paris to the Place du Carrousel
All the balconies and windows along their passage,
which was through thn streets called Fuencaral, Mon-
tera, Puerta del Sol, Calle Mayor, Platerias, and the
Arch of the Palace, were filled with people, and yet
neither the spc•ctatcrs at the windows nor the crowds
in the streets made any re,ponse to the gracious sa-
lutations which the Princes ineasantly directed on every
side. Not a single cry of approbation or Oisapproba-
tion was uttered by the populace during the whole way.
At the Calle de la Montera, in which there are many
shops kept by Fr( nehmen, a Jew women at the windows
waved their handkerchiefs, but they found themselves so
completely alone in their testimonies, that they very soon
ceased giving them. On arriving in St. Mary's-square,
at the end o! the Platerias, the houses in which are in
habited by the French and Neapolitan embassies, the
representative of the h-use of Rothschild, and by the
officers of the Palace, their Royal Highnesses were
generally saluted, but even at this point there were no
acclamations. As the procession passed the Puerta del
Sol a man, standing close to a group of oolice officers,
cried Long live the Duke de illontpensier,' but this only
provoked a counter-cry of Spain for ever.' This is
the only incident worthy of remark that occurred in the
entry of the Princes. Their reception in the capital
may therefore he said to have been circumspect and cold,
but not hostile."

Tne Constitutionne/ remarks with much severity
upon the conduct pursued by the Spanish Govern-
ment to the Opposition press. What that conduct is
may be judged of from the following account which
appears in the same paper :
"Nothing gives so just an idea of the sprit with
which the Government is animated, as the fact that
yesterday four journals, the Espanol, the Eco del Comer-
cio, the Clamor Publico, and Espe:;tador were seized on
na other ground than that in their accounts of the entry
of the Princes, they suited that it was not attended with
any enthusiasm, aid that the entire ceremony bore an
official character. I cannot call your attention too
strong!y to the condition to which the Government has
rednced the press. After basing by four successive de-
crees changed, and by nin ans of simple royal ordon-
winces, rendered more rigid the a. vere laws by
which the press was governed—a law which, in
fact, was a copy of your law of September ; after
having abolished the trial by jury, ald subjected
the press to a special tribunal, composed of judges

removable at Veasure, the Government has intro-
duced the previous censorship by a process worthy in all
its points, of the maxims of Escobar. The last law on
the press prescribes that the first copy printed of every
work shall be laid before the Prefecture befora it is sent
into circulation. Now, this is what the Ministry gains
by this simple provision—it is enjoined that directors of
journals shall suffer three hours to elapse between the
delivery of the first copy at the Prefecture and the send.
ing out of the impression. During these three hours a
censor named by the Prefect examines the journal, and
marks those whose publicatit.n is to be interdicted. Then
a police-officer presents himself at the office of the jour-
nal, and seises the whole impression. It might be be-
lieved that satisfied with thus preventing the ,appear-
as ce of such journals as are displeasing to it, and, having
thus insured the practical exercise of the previous cen-
sorship, the Ministry would rest content; but despotism
is contagious, and Governments accustomed to it, carry
their t) ninny to the bounds of absurdity. After having
subjected the journals of Madrid to the censorship,
they have imposed upon them the same penal
ties and fines for their censured articles as
they would have been liable to had these
articles been published. The Eco del Commie
and Espectador have each been just condemned
twice to pay fines amounting to 25,000 f., and this, not
' for having published, but for having had the intention of
publishing articles denounced by the Public Minister,
and adjudged by men in the pay of the Government.
Such is the liberty of the press in Spain, such is the

constitutional system of our Ministers, and to which
France is about to lend the support of her strong arm.
You are now able to appreciate the accounts given by
the Herald°, and the two journals in the pay of the Go-
vernment—the Impartial and Popular—and in which it
is gravely stated that the greatest enthusiasm and
deeptst sympathy P.ttended the reception of your Princes
by our people. Nothing more effectual could be done
if it were desired to render the sojourn of the sons of
the King of the French at Madrid unpopular, and cer-
tainly their personal affability, and the private qualities
fur which Viey are so distinguished, would have over.
come. the repugnance excited by the po:icy of the French
Cabinet, if the rigorous exaction of the penalties, and
the other coercions with which the Government burden:-
and fetters the press, did not destroy every fav,purable
impression."
The organs of the Ministerial pasty are chuckling
vastly at the idea of the approaching ruin of England,
who, according to the Journal, des Debuts, is on the
point of losing her Indian Empire, and is disabled
from moving by the Irish famine. This from the
friends, supporters, and originators of the entente
cordiale is very amusing. The Slade, the organ of
the O'Dillon Barret party, has an an admirably-
written article on this same entente-cordiale, for which
it would, in common with ourselves, wish to see sub-
stituted a durable alliance between the two nations
on honourable terms. We give this important article
in extenso

"It we unreservedy blame the faults committed by a
government whose decisions appear to be all dictated by
egotism—if we reproach it for the honour even of our
country for those acts of duplicity of which Europe at
this moment calls on it to reader an account, and of
which we regret it has not been yet able to justify itself,
we are not the less decided on supporting the right and
the cause of France. And let it not be believed that we
are deceived, like our pretended Conservatives, as to the
state of affairs which the proceedings of our diplomatic
agents, if they are such as they are reported to be, has
created for our country. It is a gross illusion to per-
suade oneself, like the I'resse, that Lord Palmerston, in
case lie should think it necessary to demand reparation
for what his journals call an act of trickery, would find
himself isolated even in England, and particularly
Europe. It is in vain to bring forward against him,
without proof, the opinions of Lord Aberdeen and of
Sir Robert Peel ; it is in vain to say that he has ac-
quired for himself the reputation of a mischief-
maker and of a revolutionist with the European Ca-
binets, and; that if he were Mad enough to carry this
affair of the marriage any furthellt is well known what
would be the result of it—all this is boasting and
puerility. The Debats held a nearly similar Language
in 1840, and it is nevertheless known what took place.
Lord Palmerston, approved of or not by his colleagues,
was supported by them to the end of his policy.
Austria, who at first on the Egyptian question appeared
disposed to accept the arrangement proposed by France,
suddenly changed her opinion, and united herself to the
coalition already formed of the other powers, and the
Court of the Tuileries, which thought itself so sure 'ci
overthrowing Lord Palmerston, was compelled to beat
a retreat, and bend before him. Then, nevertheless, no
hesitation was felt in denouncing Lord Palmerston as a
dangerous agitator, as an incendiary Minister ; than
also, or a little before, there were pointed out with
great outcry those appeals to revolt of subjects against
their Governments, which proceeded, it was said, from
the Cabinet of London. But, when it wr.s necessary
to act, the absolute monarchs did not hesitate to
range themselves on the side of the o!d British aris-
tocracy against the French nation, which never ceased
in their eyes, whatever language its Government might
use, to represent revolution. We will say, moreover,
if the attacks of our Conservatives against Lord PA-
LM rston were all merited ; if it were true that, instead

of confining himself to keeping up some miserable
agitations, sometimes in Spain, and at another
time on some other point, for an interest exclusively
English, he was really, as the Presse sap, the natural
supporter of revolution in the world ; if that were true,
we should regard such attacks as a title of honour for the
representative of the Whig Cabinet, and we should re-
gret still more that instead of embroiling itself with that
Cabinet for a purely dynas'ie interest, Government had
not endeavoured to foni.d.v,ith it the durable alliance of
the two nations in some grand enterprise useful to the
liberty of the people. It is in fact solely on the condition
of protecting the welc, acting in defence of right, at.d
promoting the development of liberty in the world,
that Eng:and and Fiance can honourably unite to-
g6-ther ; and we may add, that if this union be pos-
sible, it is with the Whigs rather than with the

Tories, whose si.‘ntirnenta are invincibly in favour of
absolute monerchiee. At every—period, when the ill-
will cif the English Government shows itself towards
France, ore :le-.•tyri the prospect in perspective of
an alliance with But, iu the first place, this
alliance is not, that e e are ewer° of, offered to to-.; end,
were it even offered, it would not probably be obtained
except on revolting end impious conditions—the &Au-
donment of the Poles, of the Italians; of all suffering na-
without speaking of the mere or less remote
abandonment of Constantinople. At such a price
the alliance of Russia would be too dearly purchased ;
France entire would reject it. We believe in the possi-
bility of an alliance with part of Germany, when
Prussia shall lave a Liberal constitution, and shall be
interested in preserving it. Until that time a serious
and sincere good understanding with Great Britain
founded, not on the exchange of some courteous words
between prince:, but on the true interest of the people,
and on the community of the principles which govern
their institutions, is ,a hat is to be desired for our
guntry. This understanding might have been esta-
blished after 1830, and again in the year 1836, if the
fear of the ultra-Conservatives had not paralysed all
movement. In the last ten yea's it has only existed in
aprearanne ; now it is quite broken, broken by the advo-
cates of peace a fwd. pi ix, for a family in'erev, aed, it it
must be said, for a dowry! It is a serious re-ponsibility
which is taken before the country by those Ministers
who have so many times repeated to us that
the entente cordiale was for us a sheet anchor,
for the preservation of which no sacrifice of
power or of dignity was too great for the nation to
lighter
make.

of the people. Who are Lord Palmerston and his col-
leagues? Powerless mischief-makers, who will be easily
overthrown, if they do not take part in our dynastic
arrangements. This is a sad c ilculation, rind a dan-
gerous illusion. We are perfectly of 'opiaion that our
Government, even after having committed a fault, should
not yield to arrogant menaces, to importunate clamour;
that it should maintain its right when that of others has
not been violated; we do not feel the slightest sympathy
for those pretended Spanish patriots who range them-
selves behind the English Ambassador, to cry with all
their lungs, A Las la France!' But we again call on
our Government and thegreat Conservative party, before
giving way to their fits of ill- humour against the Whigs,
before denouncing them to the animadversion of the ab-
solute cabinets as the natural supporters of revolution
in the world, to look around them and to see what
port would remain to them in Europe on the day when,
no longer able to reckon on the British Cabinet, they
shall have turned against them all the interests of the
revolution."

The National has an able article, from the pen of
"A Veteran Diplomatist," in answer to the arguments
of the Presse, on the treaty of Utrecht. The answer
is complete. In allusion to the slight degree of im-
portance which the National attaches to the treaty of
Utrecht the " Veteran Diplomatist" admits th 4" the
KING elected in 1830 has completely accepted the
treaty of Utrecht," and then proceeds to show, by
the most incontrovertible arguments, that by
the provisions of that treaty the issue of the
marriage of the Due DE MONTPENSIER are
absolutely excluded from the succession to the
throne of Spain. With regard to the distinction
which the Presse attempts to draw between the
.wording of the preliminaries of 1709, in which alt
the French Princes were excluded from the throne of
Spain, by succession, marriage, convention, or other-
wise, and the text of the treaty of 1713, and from which
it draws the conclusion that in 1713 the principle of
exclusion was abandoned, the " Veteran Diplomatist"
replies—." What was in effect. the question under
consideration in the preliminary negotiations of 1709 ?
It was the recognition of Cliaar.Es of Austria as
King of Spain. It was very natural, under those
circumstances, to carry out the principle of absolute
exclusion as regarded all the French Princes without
exception. And you are astonished that this abso-
lute txclusion of all the French Princes
is not reproduced in the treaty of Utrecht, that is to
say in the very deed by which one of those Princes
received the crown of Spain !! ! The negotiators of
the treaty must have been idiots if they had exactly
copied the preliminaries." But the solemn renun-
ciations of 1712 are not less clear, nor less precise,
nor less obligatory. There was no n ecessity to ex-
clude Princes from the succession who, by their own
act, excluded themselves and their descendants for
ever. It was sufficient to verify these renunciations
in the treaty, and to incorporate them with it as an
integral part of it. This was done, and it was added
that the treaty should be observed scrupulously,
and with good faith. It is then to the terms of the
treaty—to the clear and precise expressions of the
' documents annexed to it, that ' we must return'
Now, the Presse insinuates that the word mar-
riage, which it carefully underlines, is not to b
found in the text of the treaty of 1713, . although it
does occur in the preliminaries of 1709. This is
puerile when we consider the words of the renuncia-
tion of the Dake of ORLEANS. The rights of our birth
or all others which may below.? to us in any manner
whatsoever in which the succession may arrive at our
line. He declares himself both for himself and fur
his descendants excluded, incapacitated, and abso-
lute% incapable; and for ever. Who can maintain
after this that the case of marriage has not been
provided against as well as those of testament, con-
vention, Scc.

" Besides, if the son of the Due DE MONTPEMIER
should succeed to the throne of Spain, it would not
be by marriar, but by inheritance, and in virtue of
the rights of the INFANTA, therefore the omission of
the word marriage in the treaty of Utrecht does not
invalidate the principle of exclusion, and under exist-
ing circumstances is of no importance."
We regret we cannot find room for the whole of this
admirably written article, which proves that the Duke
of ORLEANS renounced for himself and for his children
and descendants, however distant, for ever, and what-
ever might be their sex, all right of succession to thee.
Spanish throne, in whatsoever manner that right
might accrue to them, and that this renunciation was
registered by the Parliaments of Prance and Spain as
a fundamental law of the two countries.
