The Circular of the Allied Sovereigns, appears to
have excited as little interest in Paris as it has done
. here ; and so far as the Funds are a barometer of the
state of public feeling, the impression has been fa-
vourable.. From this Sate Paper it would _ really
seem that M. de MONTMORENCY had been sadly out-
witted at Verona, for had he known that the Holy
Trio-durst go no further at present against Spain
'than fecal their Ambassadors, he could not have re-
turned to Paris so vauntingly as he did. That M. de
Morindoatricy's mission failed seems unquestionable:
object was to enlist all the Allied Powers into a
crusade against Spain. Let us see how far he has
succeeded.

' Tilt British Minister deprecated all interference;
viliile the Sovereigns of Austria, Russia, and Pros-
" we will recal our Ambassadors from
Madrid, that is all we shall do; but should France
bonder it essential to her interests to proceed to
mote direct acts of hostility, we shall not interfere
lO'prevent her; it belongs to her alone to judge how
far she is endangered by the prebent state of Spain."
This :sally appears to lave been all that the French.
Minister obtained, and which he might have ensured
*Ata going to Verona. France may be assured
that. she 'may at any time attack a people, who wish.
.•.
to effect a Political Reform in the Govetoment,
ileithtstit incurring the displeasure of the Holy Al-
Rowe, shift that is the basis on which this iniquitous
compact is founded.
.Austria, Russia, and Prussia, having recalled their
Ambassadors from. Madrid, Prance. haying. obtained'
iiermiision to act as she thinks fit, what follows?...
Val France venture to act upon the permission she
hai obtained, or has she demanded a power she is
afraid to .exercise ? We suspect she has, although,
fi.orn a circumstance which is said to have occurred
on the frontiers, and which is blazoned forth in the
french. Ultra Journals, it would appear that she
wants some justifiable, or excusable pretext for ex-
citing a quarrel with Spain.
It is stated in the French Papers, that a party
of the Constitutional Army violated the French
territory by passing the frontier, and killing twenty
wounded • soldiers of the Army of the Faith. We
must, however, have better authority than the Dra-
peau Blanc before we believe this statement, though
something of the sort may have happened. But ad-
mitting it even as stated in the French Ultra •Jour-
itals, it will shew a base and captious spirit on the
part of France to make it the pretext for an attack on
Spain; since such a violation of the French territory
cannot be attributed to the Spanish* Government, who
we are sure will be the first to punish it ; at the same
time we think it not improbable, that in the ardour
of pursuit, the Constitutionalists may have passed
the frontier, and filed a few shots at the rebels.
The Journal des Debars has a long and absurdly
laudatory article on the Circular of the Three Sove-
reigns, which is not worthy of notice.

An Express from Paris this forenoon brings Papers
and Letters from Madrid to the 7th inst. which are
of considerable importance, as they contain an account
of the reception the arrival of the Notes of the Allied
Sovereigns and that of M. de VILLELE had met with
in the Spanish Capital. The Notes of the Allied So-
vereigns appear to have excited as little interest in
Madrid as in Paris or London. From the following
letter it will be seen that the Spanish Government
cannot easily be disconcerted, but that it will act with
firmness and moderation :

" PARIS, JANUARY 12—Four o'Cuocii P. M.
• At last public anxiety has been somewhat allayed
by the arrival of three Couriers from Madrid, bring-
ing papers and letters to the 7th inst. The papers I
send you on, an4.4l?a4.l4oceefl to state a fact or two
contained in the private dispatches. The thavental

that it pro(lnhed little effect fin.the public mind, that
it scarcely attracted notice, and was. thought quits iu

but firm and collected answer will be given. All
*rtes seem determined, on this grave and-trying
occasion, to unite their counsels, and to dispute the
right of foreign Powers to dictate in their internal
affairs.

" There had been a secret Sitting of the Cortes to
treat of the question of the English indemnities for
the seizures of English vessels in the West Indies, of
which so much has been said of late. The Cortes
are willing to admit the claim, and an amicable ad-
justment will soon take place. We cannot expect an
answer from the Spanish Cabinet in less than a •week,
from the deliberate manner in which their proceed-
ings are conducted. •
" You will see in the Quatidienne of to-day that
the party of Constitutionalists who entered on the
French soil with arms in their hands were conducted
by a French Authority, which seems to put an end
to the supposed violation of territory."
The following is an extract of an article in the
Universal of the sth January :

The Universal, in a long article on the instructions
of M. de Villele, observes—,, We see in this note
only a second edition of the famous article published
in the Journal des Del'ats, on the 13th November.
The same imputations are here cast upon us; the
same principles established ; the same conditions
proposed to us for preserving the friendship of
Fiance; and the political excommunication is
threatened us in case we persist in mniinnining
the rights of our independence. In the mean
time we have only to give the same reply which
we formerly gave to the charges and . threats
of the French Government, fully persuaded that our
own Government will not on this occasion belie its
patriotism, andivarepel'with a noble pride, this new
"pecks, of .diploreatic war by which our 'constancy
"44 .loyalty ale endeavoured to be put to the proof."
