Some doubts have been thrown out as to the le-
gality of any Subscriptions in this country, especially
by Corporate bodies, in behalf of the Spaniards ;
and the LORD Mayon, i.a the vigilint discharge of
sluty, as guardian of the franchises of the
'City, has intimated his determination of submitting
A case on the subject, for the Opinion of the Law
ogees of the Crown. Thit such Subscriptions are
art the spirit of the existing Laws of the
()misery, and in direct opposition to the line of
coaduct which both the Government aud the Legis-
lature have thought most to the honour and ad-
vantage of the nation, cannot, we presume, be de.
vied; but we must confess, at the same time, that it
appears to us but a weak invention of the French party
amongst us, to raise any alarm about the legal con-
sequences in which they may involve the'subscribers.
We are not lawyers enough to say how far such con-
duct may or may not constitute an offence cognizable
by oar Courts of Justice; but of this we feel well as-
sured, that stand the question of law as it may, it is
hot tine which is ever likely to be submitted for trial.
The Government is too wise, too discreet to waste its
powers in /contest with a paising gale like this; a Mere
squall which 'mist soon blow over, and leave our po-
litical atmosphere as serene and steady as ever.—
Meta besid.s, need any subscriber to the Spanish

the Crown to be so ill-advised, as to prostitute them
for this expression of a sympathy, honourable at least ?
The worst consequence that could befal them would
be merely personal—some pecuniary fine,
