SPIRIT OP THE JOURNALS.

Trans.—Among other evideneaTof the vat: of public tiding on the
Continent, and of the kind of movement about to take plar..! to Spain,
we have to mention, as a feet which has reached us Com the I.est au-
thority, that $ large body of students or the Polytechnic 5.:i.001, and of
the Ecole de biedicin at Paris, have offercii their services to a &stip..
guished officer among the Spanish Constitutionalists, a near connexioo
of General Torrijos, and have proceeded under his i!iiection to
Bayonne. These young men were leaders at the Frenah 11w:de in the
' memorable battles of the last week of July at Pari-. The French Go.
vernment, of court, has no concern with these proceedings of i;:dependero
volunteers. We may add, that intelligence has boen rtcetecd of com-
mittees having been established both at Paul o2ui Lyons, for the
purpose of assisting, equipping, and !orwardlog oo their j gurney to
the frontier, the Spanish exiles, who Ar.: flocking itlin oh quarters,
and are generally destitute of oecuniary means.

lon board many passengers. The accounts by ikr s ate that 11. e people
of Brussels sallied out and completely cut to pieces :lie ativanc.ti euard
of the King's mops. The information front tile L...d.quarterN of the
Dutch army was to the effect that the Prince was in a state of nit.: h un-
certainty as to what course he should adopt. lie had sent d.••, it:hes

dlately. A cosident feeling eziouoi among the litigious that thy u utile'

the King of the Netherlands was about to rail for the moisten:. or di,:
other Powers of Europe to maintain bier authority in Belgium, atrorcl-
ing to the existing Treaties for that purpose. At the Hague Ow tii..,o-t
consternation existed an consequence of the defeat of the Hut.h tr top..
There were no disturbances at Rotterdam, neither was it known I..i.re
Teter that any public manifestations in op Ilion to the tinvernrnevt kid
been made at Ghent. It was at Itotterdani that in Inc spore
of one or two days the whole o the Pays Bas would be up to :errit.
spinet the Dutch troops. The utmost difficulty was experier,tl I,y
the British residents and others to get away from Belgium.

CHROMICLZ.—We cannot iwing ourselves to believe thst them is
any truth in the report alluded to in some of the French Papers. a,. i
which is general in Paris, that the Great Powers as they ar calkti.
have communicated to the Irene., Government their intention to n.
terfere in the affairs of the Netherlands. These Powers know s,_:f-
ficiently well, tnat it is not in the power of the French Governme,./
to avoid hostilities, should a single foreigner enter Belgium.
know, moreover, that they are no longer, as In 1814 and 131.1,
strong from the support of the people of Europe. The pcoply
everywhere would now oppose their Governments, where they to at-
tempt to involve them in war ; and, moreover, It is not even o:r-
-lain that their regular armies would in all cases support them. Who
are the Great Powers—England?—We believe the Duke of Welling-
ton possesses too much good sense to commit the country In any war on
account of any squabble between the King of the Netherlands and his
quondam Belgian subjects. Prussia ? Prussia has not a large dispo-
sable army, though a very large militia; but Prussia is a power emit-
Rally_ dependent on public opinion. Then are too many clever men about
the Ring of Prussia to allow us to fear his embarking in a war which
would plan his Rhenish provinces in the utmost jeopardy. Austria?
with Italy and her financial difficulties ? We cannot think so in of
Metternich. Russia ? This power was very well in the hands of Sir R.
Wilson, who works wonders on paper as a bugbear of the first order.
But people have found out that a population does not increase in power
as it extends its territory. Some wise man would in such a ease be for
making the whole world one Empire. Twenty millions of men occupy -
ing a hundrend thousand square miles, are more powerful for purposes
of attack than sixty millions scattered over millions of square miles.
Russia cannot move into the West of Europe an army of 160,000 men,
without subsidies. Besides the Russian Emperor has not forgown
what happened to the last Russian troops that visited this pan of Eu •
rope. Alexander duns not trust them, and the regiments were broken up
on crossing the frontiers, and incorporated with the rest of the regiments
at home. It cannot be that the Great Powers will be so foolish. If
they so far forget themselves as to become guilty of so wanton an attack
on the people of Belgium, they will lament their crime in sackcloth and
ashes. Thi nations impatient at being sacrificed to the caprice of Rulers,
may forget to emulate the French in their magnanimity. The first
Wag who draws the sword In a war of aggression should be hurled front
Me ifs& The nations can have no interest in waning 'pant each
ease; sod with respect to a psrdadse nation, let subjects and Rulers
ads Millirem& as they best can. There must be no solemn leagues
and secants amongst Kings to assist each other.
