T IIE a RE AL CAUgg OF THE*:AICISHAVAItr
• • -,.

-A:pamphlet has.jait appeared, entklesi,iteskie Car-
boneri; or the Sprnish Wai:assigned tditirict
ll~.presume this is the Freoch Manifesto which
some of our well infor;:.ed contemporaries insisted
waio town; it wants only the-ollicial formalities to
make it as good a declaration of the reasons for in-
vatpog Spain as can be expected to appear. These
Carbonari are sad devils. Black as coal (to use a
happy simile of the writer of the pamphlet before us),
are their designs. Incredible the depth, the breadth,
and the length of their machinations.
It is enough to make one's blood run cold, to read,
:is we here do, that they have actually, aye, and" for-
mally doomed to assassination," not only "every mem-
ber o' the Royal Family of France," but "the whole of
yid French NoLdity.". The ramifications of this
most awful and bloody conspiracy extend boo "throrc,,k
I.l.cry parish in France." The venerable FAvLrrE, as
if Lc had not seen enough of revolutionat y blood-
spilling, and " his son GEORGE," a genuine chip of
the old biccs% are at the head of it! And that amia-
ble wi iter of sonnets, Mr. 13ownixo, is one of its
most active external agents ! We should suppose that
nobody will be so unreasonable as to ask for evidence
of statements so highly probable as these; but lest there
should the sagacious author has prudently given,
both in French aid English, the Statutes of this order
of conspirators, so that out of their own mouths they
may stand condemned before the world. Nay, more;
least the reader of these Statutes might possibly be
sta3getod, on finding that, as far as words go, they
prove the very reverse of what they are brought for-
ward to establish, he kindly reminds us,. that con-,
spirators and traitors never divulge in express terms
what they would really be at; and that there can be
no surer or fairer rule of interpretation, in all such
cases, than the rule of contraries. Thus, when these
Carbunari cut-throats say that they " unite to 1e•
fend the KING and his august Family," we ought
to read, " unite to dethrone and murder them ;"
when they talk of upholding " the Chatter," we
should understand that they mean the Charter of
farility and Republicanism. Et sic in omnibus.
The conclusion to which all these indubitable truths
brings the writer is equally clear and convincing. '
The existing order of things in. France is likely.to be
destroyed by a fever which sages through every Vein,
(every parish in France). No medicines taken in-
wardly can allay it ; and the only thing, therefore,
that the French Government can, in wisdom, do, is to
stir up a similar disoreer in Spain, that so the Spa.
nish BOURBONS may not have to say that they
are better off than the French BounnoNs.

Such, in short, is the gist of the Pamphlet or Ma-
nifesto before us. It closes, however, with one sen-
sible remark. Whatever France and Spain may do in
the way of administering steel powders to each other,
for the bettering of their Constitutions, all that is
asked of England is, that she shall leave them to
thermelves. "In such a case the duty of England is
to observe a strict neutrality."
