all *Atonable person!
There is no mention of England In .the Coneen.
Uteri ',which have been made. Will that Power con-
sent to be thus disregarded, when other nations are
deciding how they shall conduct themselves with -re-
gard to Bpaia ?
si Be this as it may, it necessarily results from the
*hide in the Monilear that Frame, in the name of
the high Centime/kat Pinvers of Europe, is going to
enter into new negotiations with Spain.
It would not be very difficult to fovea thp nature
of the concessions which will be demanded film the
Spanish Cortes ; and it is equally easy to foresee the
answer to them. If they will not consent to anyene-
dification in the form of their institutions, it appears
probable that there is an intention to use force to
compel them. But will England consent tithe armed
intervention which is tb result from the refusal of
Spain to accede to the proposals which will be of-
fered taller? The article of the *online is a suff-
cient answer to..thitt question. •
But ifEngland does not consent to the intervene
tion, will it preserve, at least, neutrality ? The
niteur has not released us from this ditiltulve.
Thus it may be said, that the tardy publication in;
the Moniteu?.leaves things in the very spite in which
people supposed them to be before it bloke sflenee. -
[The Journal des Debats and the Gazettasill Francs
insert the article from the Moniker, without making
any observation upon it. The Journal de- ConentEree
neither copies it nor notices itj.
PROM THE COURIER FRANCOIS.
The Congress has changed its place: it is no longer
at Verona. According to an article in the Moniteur
of Sunday, it will be for Spain at Paris—for Italy at
Vienna—and for the East wherever "the. Emperor
Alexander may happen to be. A new political sys-
tem is to take place of the old. Instead of admitting
in Europe only one single interest, -that of the Holy
Alliance, the new system of policy reduces everything
to the particular interests of each separate State. If
there still exist any community of relations among,
the Powers, it is now only to be found in the decorum
of diplomatic forms; nothing, in fact, being so diffi-
cult to reconcile as former interests which have pro-
duced connexion, and present interests which may
lead to a rupture.—(After quoting that part of the
article in the Moniteur which states that to France la
to be left the settlement of the affairs of Spain, the
Editor.proceeds:)
Thus, as we conjectured, there is to be no general
declaration, and Congress is determined to decide
nothing po.itively, for fear of deciding too much.
Each Power repaired to the Congress with an inte-
rest of its own, and in the same way leaves it. 'France
carried thither a proposition which she will bring
back, without' its being either condemned or ap-
proved; Austria will retain her desire of peace, Russia
her projects, and England her fears. This is the con-
clusion which may be drawn from the article in the
Moniteur, and it is what was to be anticipated from
the situation of the different States. When Cabinets
arrive at this point, the questions in discussion are
close upon the point of being decided, not by diplo-
matists, but by soldiers.
The official journal bestows due honour on the
French Plenipotentiaries and the present Ministry, for
the consignment which the Continental Powers have
made to France of the Spanish question. It seems to
us that they have no great reason to congratulate
themselveson thisconfidence which Europe has placed
in them. Do the other Powers bind themselves to
ours with respect to Spain ? By no means. They do
not promise to aid it ; they leave it all the honour of
invading another country, and secure to it only the
advantages of a new occupation for France. There
is no other way of explaining the contours de toutes
leurs forces aus volt d'esecution qua la France pOkrait
etre dans le cat d'adoptcr. Our neighbours are disposed
to act, with regard to us, upon the same principle as
we wish to act towards the Spaniards, by rendering
themselves secure on the side of Fiance, as France
would secure herself on the side of the Peninsula.—
Thus, according to the Moniteur, it appears certain
that, if an army crosses the Pyrennees, an army from
the north will pass the Rhine.
We know not whether France ought on this account
to congratulate herself on the triumph of her diplo-
matists. We also do not know whether our merchants
ought to rejoice at that triumph. From the statement
of the Moniteur, England is not included among the
Powers which have abandoned Spain to our Govern-
ment, for she is not a Continental Power, as all the
world well knew before the Moniker declared it. At
present, from the mere fear of war, it is difficult to
insure at London the return of a French ship from
India at 50 per cent. What will the insurance be if
war break out? But it is not yet decided. It is at
Paris the question is now to be agitated, since ithas
not been decided at Verona. The speedy arrival of
the Duke of Wellington and the Russian Ambassador
is announced, who may be regarded as the represen-
tatives of peace and war. If they have anything to
say to our Government, it will n• longer be in the
general interest of the Holy Alliance, but in the par-
ticular
interest of their Cabinets. Such is the new
diplomatic jurisprudence established at Laybach and
confirmed at Verona. The Holy Alliance is nothing,
the vicinage is everything. It is in virtue of this
right that Austria invaded Naples, that France wishes
to invade Spain, and that Russia will, without doubt,
invade the east. If we do not deceive ourselves, this
was the law of nations before there was any Holy
Alliance, and the Holy Alliance was only created to
make this law of nations disappear. Since, however,
it appears again, others may conclude that the Holy
Alliance no longer exists.

being carried away, by dangerous theories and by
vain systems, simp* espress the wants of society,
are mostfrequehtly in accordance with the ideas of
Governments, and can indicate their determinatibm
beforehand.,Thii has occurred with respect to the
Quoadienne, in all that we have written on the slues-
tion of the Congress, and the intervention of the.,
Powers on the subject of Spain. We have repeatedly
said, not merely that war was a right, for that was
needless; but that it was necessary and inevitable:
necessary for the defence,of the principles of society
and the honour of the Crown of France—inevitable,
because it was absurd to suppose all the Sovereigns
of Europe should hurry to the same place, merely
to hold a parley, without coming to any conchs:ion.

VERONA, NOVEMBER ti.
EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.
" What I can inform you of as cei lain is, that in-
telligence has arrived here, that several foreign mer-
chants have requested letters of marque from the
Spanish Government to arm privateers, in cast war
should be declared between France and Spain, and
that a great quantity of these letters of marque have
alreidyinen transmitted to different Spanish Consuls,
lerticirlarly to those who reside in England, in order
to be delivered to the ship-owners, the moment they
have official intelligence of the declaration of war."
" The French Plenipotentiaries remaining here will
not take any part in the secondary objects with which
the Congress will yet be occupied. These objects
are the affairs of Greece, the occupation of Naples
and Piedmont by the Aultrian forces ; bat it is said
that these two points may be regarded as already
decided. The conduct of the Ottoman Porte has
been severely condemned by the Congress, and by
the Duke of Wellington himself, who has been. fired
with indignation by the Emperor Alexander, who is
said to have no longer any hope of accommodating
matters, and that he only waits the arrival cf
Lutzow to make known his final determination with
regard to Turkey. The Envoys of the Greeks have
not been officially admitted to see the Sovereigns.
Evet ybody believes, however, that two of them are
here incognito,' and that the notes which they have
presented- have been favourably received.
" As for-Naples and Piedmont, the report is une-
rally spread that the Sovereigns and Ministers °Mese
two countries have done all in their power to procure
the recal of the Austrian troops, but Austria has op-
posed their demands,which found only feeble support
in one principal Member of the Congress, and, in
consequence, it is believed that these two extremities
of Italy will be occupied some time longer by the
Austrian troops, The principal reason alleged by
Austria is the situation of the Peninsula.
" The King of-Naples had allowed his intention of
abdicating to be known, but he was told that then the
Crown would go to the Duke of Calabria; this ob-
servation was followed by others, which appeared to
hue induced his Majesty to give up this intention."

t• If this news is true, led we are disposed to believe it, the
external commerce of France will be instantly annihilated. We
shall see the disaster renewed to which we were victims, when,
on the faith of peace with England, we sent an immense number
of vouch to sea, which became the prey of the privateers and
ships of Great Britain: the memory of this great disaster is not
yet effaced. Our maritime commerce will be again ruined, from
having calculated on the durability of a peace which promised to
be lasting. It appears, that not one of the many vessels which
we have at sea will escape the many privateers which will put
immediately to sea under the Spanish flag, and which will
blockade all our ports during the whole duration of the ward—i

We are informed from the Southern frontiers of the
empire that the passage of numerous bands of Greek
refugees, forced to quit Odessa, its environs, and
other countries under the Russian Government, con-
tinue without interruption.
VIENNA, NOVEMBER 21.

There are to be great changes, it is said, in the des-
tinations of the principal members of our diplomatic

Embassy at London to that of Paris. Baron Vincent
returns here. Count Zichy goes from Berlin to Lon-
don ; Baron Bender goes to Berlin, aad Baron Steig-
entesch to Turin. New changes are also spoken of
Among the Members of the Diet at Frankfort.

The very valuable Philosophical Apparatus which
belonged to the late Dr. COPaLAND, has been pun,
chased by the Faculty of Marischal College, Aber-
deen, and is new their exclusive property.
The astronomers of the Continent appear to have
been actively employed during the present year in
observing the three comets which were first discovered
by M. Pons, at Marlia, and subsequently by other
astronomers. From the north to the south of Europe
the journals are filled with observations and calcula-
tions relative to these singular visitors of our system.
Every principal Observatory, front Prague to Milan,
appears to have directed its attention to these objects;
and the favourable state of the weather has enabled
the observers to pursue their researches with unex-
ampled success. Among those who have devoted
their valuable time, either in making observations or
in calculating the orbits of these comets, we observe
the names of-Pons Preposi du Ciel, as he is calle
by Zach). Carlini, antini, Ursin, Schumacher, Gam-
bart, Bella, Hall hka, Caturegli, Frisiani Olbers,
Harding, nke. It does not appear that either
of these comets have been seen, or even looked after,
in this couptry. They have, is fact, scarcely been
heard of, except
dtr:puigh the vague notices in the
newspapers.—Ph' ical Magazine.
