about the time that CASTLIERLAGH was repotted to ite

as article entitled, State of France. la that articls f

it as my opinion that she would men hare the dispwt•

The reader will further recollect, that, at Jicediagon

this : "Togo to war with gold payments is homey

" The die is east.—We leers, from an antherity on
which we rfil rely, that the decision of the Ceagrest of

to put as end to the pretreat state of things in Spain. A
demand will therefore he male on the Spar.iatile to set,•
stitute a Constitution, like that of France, in which the

will not be listened to one moment cannot be -dottittett.
The consequence therefore most be the invasion of the
