MADRID, FEBRUARY 1.
Then Was yesier‘i a secret sitting of Congeress,
which sv% presume wais to deliberate upon thereport,of,
the CoMinittee appointed.to, propose what should be
done if our Monarch- ippearerlpn the frontiers. If we
are to believe Credible rumours, the Committee pre.
,rented their report in the shape of a cleat*, at the same
time decorous, honourable, and-suitable to the-ooca;
sion ; but Cong!ess was .not unastirnous, and isith4out
-approving the Committee's report, it was sent to the
Council of State for examination. We believe there
must be some mistake in this. How is it possible that
the Cortes could send an affair to a Royal Council,
which had been discussed by a National Congress ?
• . (rrioM THE CONCISO 01,* Irfig 31ST JANUARY.)
Never were the Spanish nation and government in
a more critical situation than at the present moment.
Six years of a disastrous war, of a bloody contest, and
innumerable sacrifices to recover our liberty, our in-
dependence, to 'rescue our beloved Ferdinand, have
-placed that object within our reach, and now we hesi-
tate to receive, him ! Yes, and in that hesitation the
Spanish nation does not shew less heroism than in the
proud efforts which it has, made in the field. It is
Bonaparte, the execrable monster, whom the .French
teaticitc still so dishonourably to themselves, support
as_ their chief; it is Bonaparte, who comes-now to
present .to us the olive, and to crown our liberty and
independence ! _ , . „ •
'Bonaparte has made. a treaty with ,King Ferdi-
nand ; but it is easy to estimate the validity of a deed.
of agreement between the
sofifiressor and the, oppressed.
General. Palafbr, it'appears, has brought some new
additions to his treaty between the wolf and the lamb.
Senor Palafox also brings ordets..to execute the
Treaty transmitted by the Duke of San Carlos, as if
no doubt could be entertained of its fulfilment. .
We see, then, the diligence dAtich BOnaparte 'em-
ploys in concluding
,this business: and there • would
be nothing extraordinary in, King Ferdinand very
,hortly appearing on our frontiers. The nation thus
sees itself placed in the circumstances of great deli-
cacy. We are offered the object of our wishes but
not in away beßtting the Spanish people, our welfare,
or the policy.and happiness of the nations of Env*.
We have great satisfaction in saying, that all pas-
sions have been silenced in the National Congress,
when discussing this serious and interesting affair.
l: he unanimity of the Deputies has been such, that
there has been only one opinion among them, having
'or its object the welfare of the Spanish people. The
Regency feeling it a question of so much delicacy,
what course should be pursued if Ferdinand VII. ap-
pears on our frontiers, have appealed to the,Cortes,
requesting instructions by which their conduct may
!)e regulated. In consequence of this, the Cortes
referred the whole matter to a special Committee..
If wt may be ailowed to giie our opinion on this
topic, we would say, that when notice is given of the
approach' of the King on our frontins. proper ar-
rangements should be made for meeting hint at a
fixed point ; that there Ferdinand should be received,
but alone, and without any attendant whatever ; that
AS soon as he touches the Spanish soil., he should swear
to the constitution of the Spanish urettarchy, and that
done should encircle hirp,but those who have shewn
a decided attachment to their country, their King,
and the new instittrticmtr.
_ VITTORIA;IMMIJARY g
On the 20th the Frenct3 approackxl so near General
Morillo that he attacked them, and they retired with-
out firing a musket. Having reached their position,
they sent a message to Morillo, saying that Peace
having been concluded .between Napoleon and Fer-
dinand, thei had orders not to Eyre upon the Spanish
troops, but in their own defence. It is easy to pene-
trate the deSign of such -cooduCt.

FRENCH PATERS.

PARIS, FEBRUARY 15.

The "column of Russian and Prussian prisoners
:s expected. to•day or to-morrow. 'The national,
guard is to go to meet them at th,! liar-Her. The
enemy will be convinced that we are ready to give
them a good reception if they appear before the ca-
pital.
Letters from Switzerland say, that in Italy a large
)ody of French troops is in motion to come to France.
We have in our hinds the original of a letter writ-
cen from Chateau 'rhierry, at the moment when the
remains of the Russian and Prussian armies were
driven from it. It is written by an Officer of high
rank in the French army, not less distinguished for
-the moderation and-sincerity of his character, than
fir his talents and services, as he has been twenty
years. in-the service, and has often witnessed the evils
inseparable from war, even when carried on accoad-
ing to the laws which civilized nations have imposed
on themselves, it may be supposed, that if he had seen
only such evils as are usual, he would not have been
so deeply affected by them. These are his words :
6, There is no -kind of atrocity, of abomination;
which the, enemy has not committed at Chateau
Thierry. The meisthorrid excesses that wickedness
could invent have been exercised by the ltussians
'indPressians. My pen refuses to trice the picture.'

PARIS, FEBRUARY 16. • '
As report hacheen spread of the death of the Prus-

outward boulevards on the north.
