French Cabinet—forever since the beginning of the

ing to stay its progress e the unpopularity in Francs

unite even all the Ultras in their favour, and in thel

supported, the cause of freedom and of Spain bail
been sacrificed, by the presumption and want of
sa-
gacity in the Spanish Ministry. That such a Cause
1
would be thus decided, and decided by such means,
throws ridicule on every attempt to get up new Con!,
stitutions; and yet if the destinies of the human race
in any way depend, as it is in general thought they
do, on the issue of this contest, that they should be in
the hands of such presumptuous and imbecile people,
would seem of itself sufficient to prove that some
change, greater than yet contemplated,. is not only
necessary, but at hand. The failare of the Spa-
niards—for it must now be considered as a failure—
is a moral lesion which, it is hoped, the lovers of
freedom will never forget. However righteous their
cause, however much, in the eye of reason, the re-.
forms they propose may be needed—and certainly the
old Government of Spain is not the km, idestiof good
Governments--however just and cautious they mnt
be in their proceedings, they can never succeed un-.
supported by the people; and, consequently, the only
just, safe, and successful reform must begin by en-
lightening them, and must end too in their improve-
meat."

BAYONNE, JUNE 5. _ :

Though we have no post from Madrid to-day, in-
teresting news has been received by other channels,
not to speak of the many reports in circulation, which
we will first notice. First, it is said, we know not
upon what foundation, that Abisbal has not been
taken to Seville—that lie has not even quitted Ma-
drid, but that he has remained there far the purpose
of giving the Prince all the information that he
may require, respecting the strength 'and the situa-
Lion of the Constitutionalists. It is addcd, thouiit
