ohic,h the Allied Powers have determined to

loom.
Is not this sufficient evidence that our Ministers
tile attack on Spain in a very different light from
oer Allies? Nothing could have been more clear or :
decisive, than our policy from the first. AI the
pore
congress at Verona, M. de VILLELE wished to have a
lecliiration from the Allied Powers, as to what line
oi would each take, in case events should force
france to
war. What the declaration of the BritisliGo-
rerniment was in answer to such a proposition, we learn
distinctly enough, from the letter of Mr. Secretary
cotton to the Duke of WELLINGTON, dated Sep-
tember 152.2.
~If, said the British Minister for Foreign Affairs,
„dire be a determined project to interfere by force
irrngace in the present struggle in Spain, so con-
,iacci are his MAJESTY'S Government of the useless-
„ess and danger of any such interference—so &Vet--
,ionabledoes it appear in principle, as well as utterly
impracticable in execution—that when the necessity
gises, or (1 would rather say) when the opportunity
opts, I am to instruct your Grace at once frankly
lad peremptorily to declare, that to any such inter-
ference, come what may, his MaJtsrx will Hot be
a PM."
With such a declaration of the determination of
air Government, which is almost as strong as a pro-
te,tagainst the views of the other Allied Powers, it
not appear strange that any one should for a mo-
ment contend that no difference exists between the
liz;:i)h Ministers and the Foreign Cabinets as to thel
ccuse.of war or the mode of interference.
the tirA c'eclaration our Representative at the
Congress might have qui aed Verona, have shaken the
'lust eff his feet, and left the Allied Sovereigns to
consummate a measure against which we had so
slrongly protested: but the Duke of WELLINGTON still
remained, in hopes that with the knowledge of our
determination, some opportunity might still occur of

averting the war.
The E. r 1 of I,I%;ERPOOL, in the speech to which
re Lave already alluded, declared that from the time
that the Cortes %ere re-eaablislied up to the meeting
(.1 the Congress of Verona, 4, no opportunity for the
Government of this country to espress its sentiments
ladsrisen, in which any interference with Spain had
at been deprecated. Every attempt of that kind
hd been deprecated over and over, on the ground
eat all interference tcith the internal (spire of ono-
t erSate was artjaut and contrary to the policy of

aces:sily."
When the French Minister, at Verona, required
formal answer from each of the Allied Powers to the
ttre questions, as to the recalliatthe Ambassadors
fran Madrid, the moral support, and the assistance
to be given to France in case of war, the Duke of
WILLINGToN enforced the determination of the Bri
liihGoverninent, and declared, that " any ameliora-
tion which might be desired in the Spanish system,
fir the'sake of Spain herself, ought to be sought for
a measures to be adopted in Spain rather than
abroaJ ;" that " such an interference always ap-
peared to the British Government an unnecessary as-
maptioa of responsibility which, considering all the
circumstances. must expose the King of SPAIN to
danger, and the Powers of Europe, which should in-
Were, to obloquy, certain risks, and possible dil-
aters; to enermous espenses, and final disappoint-
nest in producing any result."
When the Allied Sovereigns bad determined- to
end imtructions to their Ambassadors at Madrid, to
demand an alteration of the Constitution, as the con-
dition of their remaining at the Court of Spain, the
Doke of Vimmorou, in his letter to the Ministers
of the Allies, dated Nov. 20, 1822, urged that re-.
manstratices at such a time ought not to be made to
Spain, the Government of which they were calculated
to irritate; and that " The King's Government must
therefore decline to advise his Majesty to hold a com-
moelanguage with his Allies upon this occasion; and
it is so necessary for his Majesty not to be supposed
to participate in a measure of this description, and
calculated to promote such consequences, that his
Governnsent must equally refrain from advising his
Majesty to direct that. any communication should be
made to the Spanish Government on the subject of
its relations with France."
How completely does this declaration refute another
assertion in this demi-official Manifesto, by which it
is attempted to make the world believe that the Bri-
tish Government sanctions a policy which it is found
impossible to defend. It is said that the British Mi-
nisters considered the political changes in the Penin-
sula as opposed to the existing European system.
And it is asked, " Would they else have so earnestly
advised modifications in the Constitution of Madrid?"
We have seen that the Duke of WELLINGTON de-
clams that our Government refuses not merely to advise
Spain to cut and carve her Constitution at the will
of the Allied Powers; but sensible that the time for
our interference, even in a mediatory capacity, had not
set come, we refused to make any communication to'
Spain on the subject of its relations with France.—
But we went further ; and when the Allies had sent
their respective dispatches to the Spanish Govern-
ment, we did not then ask Spain to modify her Con-
stituti,n " No," says the Duke of WELLINGTON, " his
iilmesry must limit his exertions and good offices to
the endeavours of his Minister at Madrid."—To do
what? To get the Spanish Government to consent to
the wishes erpressed in the dispatches of the Allied
rel.* ni; but "to allay the ferment which these

communications must occasion, and to do all the
good in his power."
Our Government felt that Spain was not the ar,
gressor, and that faulty as her institutions were, she
ought not to be called on to alter. them at the will of
any foreign Pow er. It was with France that our
Ministers conceived remonstrance was not only most
justifiable, but most likely to be effectual. 4, No ar-
gument," says Mr. CANNING, in a dispatch to Sir.
WILLIAM A'Coutur, dated December 17, 1322; " no
argument will be left unemployed, on the part of his
MAJESTY, which may tend to allay a warlike dispo-
sition in his Most Christian Majesty's councils."
The Minister adds, that " his Mansrv's media-
tion between France and Spain, if solicited by Spain
and accepted by France, would be gladly given and
earnestly exerted, to settle the disputes between those
Powers, and to preserie the peace of the world."
Nothing further, we presume, need lie said to
prove that, whatever may be the result of the mea-
sures
adopted by the Allies against Spain, that our
Government has not bean a party to them ; that we
have not merely differed with the Allies as to how
the interference with Spain was to be made, but that,
denying the right of such interference on general
principles, we most unequivocally protested against it
in the present instance, as " an unnecessary assump-
tion of responsibility," as exposing the King of SPAIN
to danger, " the Allied Powers to obloquy," and as a
measure to which, 66 come what may, his Britannic
MAJESTY would not be a party."

Frankfort Papers to the 9th inst. reached us this
forenoon. They contain little but details of the pre-
parations making by the Greeks for the approaching
third campaign, shich is expected Id be very impor-
tant and decisive. The Turkish fleet, consisting of
120 sail, among which are several frigates of the
largest • size, and 15,000 troops, is said to Mare
sailed on the 4th of June from Andre Capo d'Oro
towards the Peloponnesus. It is represented that
the Turks will have about 200,000 men in the Morea.
The following extract of an article from Corfu is
interesting :

is CORFU, JUNE 5.

" The latest accounts from the Nolea are favour-
able to the Greeks. Colocotroni has submitted, and
their whole force is said to be nearly 60,000 men. Hi-
therto they have been chiefly in want of money, but
they have now received some from the Society in Eng-
lanct, and the promise of a further supply.
"They are now negociating with the Albanians,
and if thiy can raise the sum which these people re-
quire, the consequences may be decisive. The Sulioti
are with them even without money, and the Albanians
would rather be with them,than with the Pacha of Scu-.
taxi, who on his side makes them very tempting offers.
—He required from the Divan five millions of piastres
to give the Albanians; but the Sultan seems unwil-
ling, perhaps uriable, at present to sacrifice so large
a sum. It is true that the Chiefs of the Insurgents
do not agree together ; this proceeds from their am-
bition and rapacious disposition ; but when danger is
I to be apprehended from the. Turks, harmony is soon

restored.
" The declaration published by Lord Strangford,
relative to the resolutions of the Congress at Verona,
has rather increased than depressed the courage of
the Greeks, who declare that they will not listen to
any proposals for a compromise."
