French Funds are said to have risen to 81 f. 50c.

The French Papers of Tuesday (Feb. sth) evening
contain accounts of the proceedings in the Chamber
of Deputies on that day ; and they make us the ex-
pected-Speech of M. de CHATEAUBRIAND, the French
Minister for Foreign Affairs. We shall give such
extracts from this Speech as serve either to justify
the conduct of. the French Government, or which
bear on the question of Peace or War:--

Hobbes," says M. Chateaubriand, Grotius, Puffendorf,
and all old publicists, have thought that it was lawful to take
arms in the natpe of human society, against a people which
violates the principle of that society, in the same way as one
punishes a disturber of public order.
" However, I say with modern politicians, no Government
has a right te► interfere in the Airs of another Government,
because if this principle were admitted, no State would be
tranquil; for there would always be the right of saying, change
your institutions, they displease us.'

" This, I hope, is a great concession made to our adversaries.
Then how are we to justify the right of interference with Spain ?
Our adversaries look for evidence to England ; I will do so too.
At the beginning of the Revoluti:m, the interference of the &I-
-RA hi the affairs of France, and the arguments which they ad-
dated Sis justify that interference, must be remembered. It was
to stay the progress of an evil which only exists through the vio.
lotion of all rights, and of the fundamental principles which bind
men in society.

" Our interference has no other object than to destroy also
an anarchy which has plunged in fire and blood whole Pro-
vinces, which demand their King, their Goo, and their Religion ;
and if it has been permitted to England to repel French coats-
gion, shall we be-foe-bidden to repel Spanish contagion ?—(Scn-
settee in the Chamber).
me When Ragland published Its famous Declaration, Louis
XVI. and Marie-Antoinette were no longer iu existence, ate I
agree with the last speaker, that the King of Spain is wily a
prisoner in his palace, as Louis XVI. was before he a.cended ,
the scaffold.

" Gentlemen! Another such assassination, and we shall have
establiebed, by precedents, the code, the oakum, of raising people
against Kings—(Bravos on the right).
" What England acknowledged at the beginning of our revo-
lution she still acknowledges—(M. de Chateubriand then refer-
red to Lord Castlereagh's Circular).—She acknowledged that
Austria bad the right of destroying, at Naples, the Constitution
of the Cortes. She cannot, then, refuse to France the right of
of destroying, at Madrid, institutions which are fatal to her. We
are really in a situation which gives us the right of interference.
" Our political interests are compromised ; the revolution of
Spain hap destroyed a part of our commerce, and we are obliged
to keep up ships of war.to protect what remains. The war in
Spain, by interrupting our relations with Spain, has reduced to
half the value land in the departments bordering on Spain. A
great number of manufactures have log their vent in Spain ;
our Consuls have been threatened in their persons; in fine, our
territory has been violated three times--(Murmurs on the, left).
6* Waa, turn, is zontsernesautl.7—lt is preferable toshis state
of demi-hostilities, which has an the inconveniencies of war,
without its advantages, said which exposes our soldiers to all in..
sinuations of the agents of disorder.

" The violation of our territory• is enough to justify our armed
intervention. England herself declared at Verona—Lord Wel-
lington said there, that the King, his master, had no objection to
make to the measures of France towards the Spaniards, and
especially those to guard against the moral contagion of political
principles and the violation of the French territory."

M. CHATLAUBRIAAO COIICIUdta by observing, that
" the King wibhed 100,000 soldiers to assemble under
the command of a Prince, who, at the passage of Le
'Drome, chewed himself frank like Henry IV. He has
confided the uliite flag to Generals who have con-
quered under other colours; they will teach our
Larmies the road to victory."

Here then we have the conduct of England in
waging war against the French Revolution, and the
Circular of LordCMITLIMAGH, brought prnminentll
forward to justify din meditatecl invasion of Spnins
But few Englishmen, and we are sure our must
Ministerfor F. reign Affairs is not one of them, air
prove of Lord. CASTLEREAGIA Circular; and the
whole nation loudly condemns that invasiociff
tria of Naples, which M. de CHASSAVBRIMPD pro.,
tends only to imitate, and which it was Lord Cnestaf-,
aanott's duty to have prevented.

As to the conduct of England in making war on
France, there is now but 04.0 opiiiion. Before the

caects of that contest were•known, its ilitadvantart
could not be appreciated : but now, when the Na-
tional:Debt has been dotibled.when the whole pro-
perty of the country has been esposed to the wont
ruinous fluctuations of valve—when tbose very Prig-
ciPles which that war was undertaken to put dews,bave fly its means acquired an overwhelming and ir-
resistible power—it can no longer be doubted that
Great Britain never engaged in a war which was, on
the whole, mote adverse to its best interest.. The
Trench Minister, therefore, justifies the meditated at-
tack on Spain,.by appealing, on the onehand, to this
disastrous conflict, and on the other, to a principle
which the whole nation condemns.

Sorry are we to see that anything in the conduct
of Great Britain can be urged as a paniatiqn of wan-
ton aggression: but after we have suffered from this
aggression—after we have become sensible to the
impropriety of our conduct—after we ourselves con-
demn it, and hold it up as a warning, not as an ex-
ample, to other nations, the French, in their usual
ape-like manner, seize on this one false action, and
hasten to surpass us in the cat eer of iniquity.—
Such, it is probable; will in general be the conduct
of statesmen who regulate the affairs of Nations
by the precedents of by-gone, and perhaps bar-
barous times, instead of appealing to the sound
wholesome sense and knowledge of existing men.
However the French Ultras may flatter themselves
with hearing their own praises chaunted by all the
Monks of Spain, or expect canonization for testor-
ing the Inquisition, or fancy themselves decorated
with the wreaths of conquest, and however much,
therefore, the war may be for their advantage, there
can be no doubt that for the French nation—for the
great mass of the French people, whom the Ultras
pretend to represent, and whose interests and honour
they boast of consulting, this war will he one of the
most afflicting and ruinous events which can pbssi-
bly happen.
We hope and trust that these Ultras and their weak
old master will live to repent of the folly of their
conduct; and that the gallair.: People over whom
they now rule will save themselves from poverty and
misery and bloodshed, by once more banishing the
contemptible faction which is now making them
despicable in the eyes of all Europe.

We are unable to comprehend either the principles
or the policy which actuates the Courier, hitherto
considered in some sort as the whipper-in to the opi-
nions of the Government. Although the Speech from
the Throne decidedly and firmly expressed his Ma-
Jam's. determination to remain neutral in the war
with which France menaces the people of Spain—and
although the explanations of Lord Llvraroor, and
the other 'Ministers have distinctly told the world,
that they-regard the conduct of the BOURBON Go-
vernment as fraught with evil to itself, and wicked-
ness to the best interests of mankind, yet the Cost-
lier of last night speaks as if the 'measures and
arguments of M. de VILLEta were congenial to
the present spirit which universally animates the Bri-
tish Councils and kingdoms. We should infer from
this, to use an official phrase, that the Courier has
lost the confidence of Government, else, wheiefore,
d ,es it chew so manifest a partiality to the aggres-
sive declaration of those who would again lay waste
the Continent ?

It is flattering to a raau's vanity to be not only the
subject of correspondence between Nations, but the
commiserated object of Legislative harangues. In
this respect Mr. Bowel:so has been abundantly
gratified, indeed, we should say indemnified, for
all his sufferings from the Police of France. TI-ere
was, without doubt,. hardship in his case; but then
he had committed in offence against the laws of
France, heedlessly we admit, and was he, not to,
endure the consequences? We refer to Mr. CAN-
NING'S reply to Lord ARCHIBALD HASHItON far the
prompt, consistent, and regular measures which the
British Gpvernment adopted on the occasion.
It is lamentable to see how some minds are con.
stituted : the Chronicle imputes to Sir ROBERT Vu..
SON a nonsensical interjection, in which he is made
to cry out—st Was it to be endured that Eng-
lishmen should be subjected to the tyrannical caprice
Of odious despots, who were accustomed to act to-
wards their own slaves with fearless licentiousness?"
and then follows g tirade about Gland Signiors,' and
women in sacks. Does the Chronicle 111c313 to Say—
or, rather, to snake Sir Roneur Wri.son say—that
England should interfere with the laws and domestic
policy of other States? What then becomes of the
proprietyof its own daily eshcrtations against theHdy
Allies for their meddling with the affairs of Italy, to I
say nothing of the impending French war with Spain?
Yes : it is to be endured that Englishmen should
be subject to the tyrannical caprice of odious Des-
pots," accustomed to use Auks and bow-strings, if
they are fools enough to trust thcmselvel within the,
grasp of their talons-and to afford them cornea pro,
vocation. But Sir Botany's flourish does not apply
to Mr. BOWRINCA caw—which, it now appears, is
simply that " HS WAS DETECTSD IN SMHOOLISO LIT-
