population. This daring attempt to root the influence
of the French Government in the Peninsula, has, in
reality, done little more than brought all the
political parties of the latter country into
a collision of such violence, as renders some
calamitous demonstration inevitable. A general and
not bloodless pronunciamenio may be calculated upon
with some certainty, and the passion which will be
thereby engendered must tend rather to the diminu-
tion than to the permanent establishment of Gallic
influence. The balance upon which the continued
tranquillity, or the almost interminable disturbance,
of Spain now oscillates, is of infinite delicacy.
Every diligence is expected to bring intelligence to
Madrid of some Carlist insurrection. It is certain
that the expectations of the antagonists to the Cama-
rilla are centering in the person of the Count
DE MONTEMOLIN. Many are undoubtedly inclined
to turn for a co-operation to General NAtEVAEZ, but
the consummate duplicity and eminent selfishness of
the ex-Minister renders any steady reliance upon his
assistance impossible. In the second " Young Cava-
lier," the Carlists recognise tha representative of an
illustrious house, and a Prince who would be insti-
gated to a resolute campaign by the very magnifi-
cence and vastness of the guerdun for which he has
already proclaimed it as his intention to struggle—
namely, the Spanish diadem. Nothing couldimpart such
an extraordinaryprestige to the cause of this aspirant as
the recent proceedings of the vassals of BRESSOT4 ;
nothing could render a coalition of the Carlists with
the Progressistas more probable than the despotic
means by which the Afrancesados have latterly en-
deavoured to compel the community to swallow the
unpalatable and deleterious draught concocted in the
Cabinet of the Tuileries.

Little has the hitherto sagacious Sovereign of
France benefited his position among the European
Powers by his recent attempt to gain the prepon-
derance. What:the delegated authority of Louis XIV.
had proved incapable of accomplishing, the pen and
the standing of diplomacy have surely no higher
power to realise. The obstacles which were
impossible, even:before the batons of NAPOLEON'S Mar-
shals, are surely not more calculated to yield before
the thrust of a hymeneal torch. A logical exposi-
tion of this improbability is, however, rendered
wholly needless, now that occurrences are rapidly
attesting the reality. Rhetorical flourishes are
altogether superfluous at a period when the trumpet
of revolt is eagerly listened for by the populace. Two
gigantic and neighbouring nations are already
estranged from King Louis PnuirrE by the grasp-
ing and insidious policy lately adopted by his Govern-
ment. Of one of these nations he is juggling away the
liberties ; the honest and constitutional remonstrances
of the other he is treating as idle garrulity. There
is so much of unnecessary rashness, and so much of
spontaneous recklessness about the Spanish policy of his
Ministry, that we should be tempted to attribute it to
a paroxysm of political insanity ; nevertheless we are
persuaded that this appearance is altogether an affecta-
tion, that the alliance is not merely a " family
affair," as the Presse would wish to insinuate, and
that M. GIIIZOT, like HAMLET, "knows a hawk from
a band-saw."

The sentence of the court-martial on private
AIATTBEWSON, of the 7th Hussars, has at length been
promulgated. Six months' imprisonment, two of
them in solitary confinement, has been considered a
punishment only adequate for a petulant expression,
for words derogatory to the dignity of a non-com-
missioned officer, and those, too, uttered in a moment
of excitement and irritation, when he was smarting
nnder exasperated feelings, when his simple petition
for liberty to exchange his term of duty with a
brother private, in order that he might for a few short
hours enjoy the society of his mother and a brother-
in-law, whom he had not seen for nine years, was
contemptuously negatived, and he was told "that
the commanding officer could not grant his request,
neither would he see him ;" and when the complain-
ing sergeant threw himself in the way of the angry
man, unaccompanied by any other soldier of the
guard, thereby himself violating a regimental order,
and depriving the accused of the benefit of testimony
to which he should have been entitled, as if he sought .
to entrap the poor'young man into some indiscreet or
hasty expression. Taking all these circumstances
into consideration, it does appear to us, civilians, rather
a severe penalty for the offence, although it will, we
suppose, be considered most lenient by those officers
who on a former occasion condemned the same person
to 100 lashes, every one of which was fully inflicted
without favour or affection, for calling out " Hallos"
to another of that dignified grade.
Seriously speaking, can it be wondered at that the
people have a strong repugnance, a decided objection
to enter into a service where such things are tolerated ?
It is said that our soldiers are of an inferior class, that
they are less respectable in their characters and con-
duct than the non-military part of the population ;
that they can only be acted on, their obedience
enforced, by an extraordinary degree of severity ; and
this is the attempted justification of the present
system. We believe that such an assertion is an
unjust aspersion, a gross calumny against a very large
proportion of our gallant brethren ; but, were it even
the truth, is it not manifest that the superior and
better description of men are thereby deterred from
joining the ranks, that it occasions the very mischief
it proposes to remedy ?
It is the just, the humane principle of the British
law, that "it is better that ninety-nine guilty men
should escape than that one innocent man should
suffer." Every protection is given by our social law
to each person within its jurisdiction : the crimes are
fully and clearly defined, the punishments are ex-
plicitly set firth, and, above all, no one can be con-
victed of any crime, or subjected to any punishment,
except upon the unanimous verdict of twelve men, his
peers, before whom he has had an opportunity of
urging every mitigating and favourable circumstance We have received the Paris papers of Sunday.

Madrid papers of the 6th and 7th have arrived

The Espanol gives the following as the substance
of the note presented to M. GUJZOT by Lord NOR-
MANDY on the subject of the Montpensier marriage:—
" England, after having remarked upon the difference
between her disinterested conduct in the negotiations,
and the recent conduct of France, and the spirit of con-
ciliation and respect which she had shown towards
France in the question, observes that by an indirect
course the marriage of the Duke de Montpensier tends
to create fears which the King of the French had ad-
mitted it would not be just to excite, by renouncing all
pretension to the hand of the Queen of Spain for one
of his sons. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Eng-
land then insists upon the fact of the exclusion, as re-
gards the throne of Spain, which has been imposed
lipon the House of Orleans by the renunciation of
Utrecht, and the stipulations of that treaty considered
by it as forming an integral part of the public right of
Europe, and proves in an explicit and conclusive manner
th .t, conformably with the stipulations of that treaty,
the children of a Prince of the House of Orleans cannot
reign in Spain. The note of Lord Palmerston is so ex-
plicit on this point that it asserts that the treaty leaves
no doubt, and that although in conformity with its clauses
there can be no doubt entertained on the subject, the
English Government regards it as essential that no
pretension shall be set up which at a later period
might lead to an attempt to elude the guarantees pre-
sented by this treaty for the repose of Spain, the
balance of power in Europe. Englund, relying on these
considerations, declares that the descendants of the
House of Orleans cannot, on any pretension, aspire
to the succession in Spain, and states that these consi-
derations compel her to protest against the consequences
of the marriage, which, on such conditions, would com-
plicate the relations, and injure the interests of the other
powers. In conclusion, England applying to France the
principle which she has invoked relative to Spain, in the
protest addressed to our Government, declares that it is
not a petty interest of rivality which induces her to
snake these representations to the French Government,
and that she considers the power, the grandeur, and the
pro3rerity of France as one of the most essential ele-
ments of the balance of power in Europe ; but that
France is already so great a nation, and her own re-
sources are so immense, that the augmentation which
the would derive from the eventuality of rights acquired
by a French, prince to the throne of Spain can only tend
to menace as to the future, and even now the repose and
security of Europe."
Senor Imam has replied to Mr. BULWER'S pro-
test, but the nature of his reply has not transpired.
The French Princes entered Madrid on the 6th.
They were received quietly. No demonstration of
any sort was made on their arrival.

law should be abolished in time of peace. " Martial
law," says Sir WILLIAM BLACKSTONE, " which is
built upon no settled principles, but is certainly arbi-
trary in its decisions, is, as Sir MATTHEW HALE ob-
serves, in truth and reality no law, but something in-
dulged rather than allowed as law. The necessity of
order and discipline in an army is the only thing
which can give it countenance, and therefore it ought
not to be permitted in time of peace, when the
King's Courts are open for all persons to receive jus-
tice according to the law of the land." In addition to
these high authorities, let us add one of more modern
times—a distinguished soldier, who has devoted his
time to the acquisition of a thorough knowledge of
everything relating to his profession, and who has put
forward the soundest views with singular ability.
Sir CHARLES JAMES NAPIER says—" There ought to
be a military code for peace and a military code for
war. There is a peace establishment and a war esta-
blishment for most of the branches forming the mili-
tary system, and why not for military law." And
again—" If the objects to be gained by military law
in time of peace are, as I have said, different from
those demanded in time of war, and if they are also
of a gentler nature, and more approximate to those
sought for by social law, and if the soldier's life is in
peace very similar to the life led by a citizen, is it
not natural to abate that rigour of the law which in
war is necessary to attain the more urgent objects of
obedience and sanguinary results ? I think reason
tells us that this is both natural and wise."
%Ve shall for the present rest on the opinion of
those eminent persons. %Ve trust most sincerely
that what we have said is sufficient to direct the
public attention to a thorough investigation of the
subject, and that the force of public opinion, when
once fully awakened, will have the same deference
paid to it by the military authorities, and will be as
productive of a beneficial mitigation of this severity
of the code, as it has recently been in respect to cor-
poral punishment.

The following account of the revolution in Geneva
appears in the Journal des Debats

- -
" On the evening of the 6th the inhabitants of the
faubourg St. Gervais assembled and raised barricades at
the bridges. In the morning the militia, with the deter-
mination of destroying them, fired about 200 cannon shot,
which accomplished the desired object. After this the
soldiery made attempts at two different points to enter
and occupy the faubourg, but were received with a gall-
ing fire from almost every window. Each of the com-
mandants marched at the head of his regiment, and as
nearly all of them were wounded, the retreat was beat,
and the troops re-crossed the bridges. Still they re
mained in possession of the lower town and the course of
the Rhone, and the insurrection was confined to the fau-
bourg. In the night, however, the insurgents set fire to
the bridges, and the inhabitants of the lower town, find-
ing that their safety was compromised, rose in
their turn. At the same time the Radical auxiliaries
of the canton of Vaud came in great force to the aid of
the insurgents. The militia, thus threatened on all
sides, began to waver, and at length yielded, and the
Council of State gave in its resignation. By the even•
ing the arsenal and the principal public establishments
were in the hands of the insurgents, who formed a Pro-
visional Government. The courage with which the
colonels of the militia were the first to meet danger was
fatal to them. The families of the highest consideration
of Genera have to deplore losses; among these are
Colonel Chateauvieux, an old officer of the Royal Guard,
and M. Ravie. The militia has lost several men killed,
