FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Gazette de France of Monday, March 5.)
(PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.)
MADRID, FEB. 21.—The Madrid Gazette of this day
contains the followim, article :
" The enemies of the tranquillity and happiness of Spain,-
fruitful in resources which bear the stamp of malice against
its Government, spare no pains to combat it at.d to obstruct
its progress, which they might effect by depreciating its
credit. It is with these views that some 'infamous pant-
phlets have been published out of the Peninsula, whiclews
will leave in the oblivion to which the public indignation
condemns them; and that articles have been inserted in
some foreign journals intended to censure the acts of the
principal functionaries of the Administration. They are all
'written.by Spaniards, though they endeavour to disguise
themselves ; they have been drawn up out of the kingdom,
though they are inserted in the journals under the head of
Spain, and in the form of private correspondence. Their
object is the same—viz. the ruin of the Government ; they
are all actuated by the same desire of revenge.

" Some Spaniards, offended at not having obtained what
they desired, or at having lost what they unjustly enjoyed,
forge all these shameful diatribes, in which they attack,
sometimes the principal depositaries of power, sometimes
only a part of them, to give the appearance of a kind of im-
partiality in their satires, or because their hatred is exclu-
sively directed against certain persons. The aggressors in
this perfidious combat make use of all kinds of prohibited
arms. • Disfigured facts, malicious suppressions, and calum-
nies,,: -are the means which they employ. If' these
pamphleteers had any modesty, their ,ituation would hinder
them from writing against the persons by whom they
think themselves offended. The invectives of a man who
is offended are ineffectual to obtain the credit which he
desires, *and are an authentic testimony of the ignoble con-
dition of his mind. Let the defamers learn that they are
.
known., and they must expect to be one day unmasked, to
obtain the complete reward of the!: ignominy. • -
"This language, which is unusual in our .oflicial journal,
and so unusual to real statesmen, has made a certain sensa-
tion among persons who are in a situation to be acquainted
with the motives of such an article, and the critical position
of the autherg. At present I confine myself to this reflec-
tion, which I shall be.able to develop in the sequel.
"" No news from Turkey."
