The discharge of the soldiers whose time of service
is completed, and who belong to the troops forming
the corps of observation, is to take place the day after
to-morrow. The number of those who quit the di-
eisien of Count d'Autichamp is estimated at 3,000
men. This measure, added to the impossibility of
undertaking a long expedition this winter, confirms
the accounts of peace. Four thousand conscripts are.
expected, to replace the soldiers to be discharged. •

should ilia be absolute fools, it has happened that in
the whole Spanish army not more than two or three
per Ons of any degree of reputation have been seduced
by the cajoling proinises made to them. The failure
of this attempt at seduction ought surely to undeceive
those persons who fatigue themselves to prove that
the Constitutional system adopted in Spain is con-
trary to the general wish of the nation, and that the
most distinguished men of all classes are lorded over
by a faction composed of the very dregs of the rabble.

might be invited to put.himself forward in the insur-
rection, must have foreseen that one, of two things
would be his fate—either to live abhorred, detested,.
and in continual terror in his country, if, which was-
next to impossible,. the enterprise.should have a suc-
cessful issue; or to be condemned to perpetual exile,'
and live despised in a foreign land. That Eroies
