WILL THERE HE WAR? ,
• What are we sow told? Why this, that the Holy
Brotherhood have resolved oot to meddle with Split,
but, at the same time, net to make knows their inter-
tions, in this respect, till the dose of the Cen.lrers.
Why not make %dr decision known ? But, let us stop
hema little to express our indignation at the very exist-
ence of this insolent combination. No burl thitig was
ever beard of before; and it is a very shameful thing in
low opinion, that England lends it its troontasimee by
lauding an Ambassador to it. What business have these
Sags and Emperors to disease what sort gyguctiouic..!

tt[as attack on Spaia,barre,st any rate,obtained • respite
ki the tittering of a declaration against it. To this
we sea give no credit. We cannot believe, that tha
'Hedy Brotherhood will lime any declaration optimc ie.
At last, they will leave the matter as it is; and we are
olopinion, that France will obtain an ossuraoce, that
she may invade Spain, at any time, with the beet rithr-
-01 the holy Brotherhood. The only objection that the
Brotherhood can have to such invasion is, that it might,

The French will not, wa think, bad it difficult to eon.
dam them, that to put down the new Government is
Spain is the way to prevent, and is acermary to pro-enf.
another revolution in France. We ourselves are dealt-
, wily of this opinion ; and, therefore, it ig that we think,
that, sooner or later, the French will invade Spain. If.
indeed, England were in a situation to act the part that
the plainest policy points not, the army Baniariee, for
more properly Sairtanry. and the " army of the truth'

I already Fatty well known, will become obvious to all
the world the moment the Parliament shall meet. That
body must do something ; bet while it still not th,

to convince the French that they may invade Spain eine

moment for doing it. hint, alas, one Government knew,

THE FRENCH ARMY•

The Chronirte of yesterday qnotev, in bill, our re.
marks on the absurdity of supposing, that the Bull
" Saint Esprit" Bourbons woad be exposed to danger
in consequence of the philosophy of their army. Every
thing that the Chronich has said, and in a pretty forg
article, tends to eopriros our opinion. IV. had furtoll'lt
that AlwA3l Sutra was for standing armies, as a part sf
the " wcahlr of nations;" but are not at all surprised tr
find that be was. A Tutor (say Tosideater) to a Lord;
a Trugarherer, has paytmmt by thepuit:r for his Fire,:
terriers as Toad-eater, he was natitpilly in Grow ei
taxes and standing armies. The man who had the folly
or the unprincipled audacity, to assert, that fairs tctulot
to give a spar to indrot ry, was capable of saying any
thing, however absurd or impudent. And yet, we arc
told, that Mr. Fox was the man who first iotradaer•.l
SMITH'S took to pohlie noaer ! The book however,
more remarkable for folly than for a irked nest, ft lux
been the '• cluas•baok", as the apes rail it, of our pretty
gentlemen, who have brought vs into the present de-
lightful mesa of mischief.

INO.
We were very glad to lieu, that this gentleman bad
got safe out of the claws of the Bourbons, and we us
sure, that he will take care how he gets into thus again.
The Chronicle (otes VATTI&L to show, that our govern.
must ought to have interfered in the way of reprisal.!
The Chronicle is not serious. It cannot be serious.—
Yuri-Li. has no such case in his eye as that of a mere
Traveller carrying letters, which the Government of the
country chooses to regard as suspected. There could
be BO independence if one nation could interfere
With another in this way. There must be some-
thing of general or pobiic *altar to warrant such
interference. We thick of " Old Loris" just the sane
as the Chronicle does ; hut, we must spree, I think, that.
it is oatural for the (lid Boy to do all lie can to wire
hiaisetl! The fault is not in Old Lot rs, but in we, who
put him where he now is, against the wishes of the
French people.
