PRIVATR CORRRSPONDRNCIS.
MADRID, THURSDAY, JAN. 9.—lhave kid this moment
erttorned from the Cortes. after witnessing a nation's
anew and a sation's tears. At this hour I see no de-
letion inconsistency, no evil, in the Spanish Conatitu-
tiois4 To me it is the part of a people resolved to be
Ink altd worthy of liberty, and thrum Kings who oppose
Oast wish itS downfall, are despots, whose onlyobject is
biltteep their subjects in eternal chains. If this be
norm laaguage, you must impute it to that irresistible
imitslie of nature which bids an Euglishman always to
nip„ pathise with the free, for I feel that I could take op
, s for a constitution which I have just seen so as-
d'id so defended. In a large assembly of agi•
1 t silmlioll of one heart and pulse, there is a phy-
nermearaleation of thoughts sod resolutions from
one to the other, and he must be either more or less
thlin man who can steel himself against it.
aifore this time you have, of course, read the notes
e three northern courts, and the circular answer
h this government has sent to them. Yon have
,no doubt, 'seen the accounts of the proceedings
lch took place to-day in the Cortes, when these do-
cdeaents, as well as the instructions to the French hli-
nliter, and the reply to them, were read by San Miguel.
Bslt an verbal description can convey to you the effect
prmluced by these papers upon the assembled Ministers,
Deputies. and strangers, wiko heard them thus solemnly
opted to the whole world. The Curtes had been pre-
viously engaged upon a question relating to ecclestas•
tical property; but from the manner in which it was
pasted, it was easy to perceive that the minds of the
Deputies were fell of anxiety and fervour upon another
subject. Now soil then this sentiment broke out, and
there was a partial cheer, when Senor Velasco, a cler-
wean, oald, " I have learned to suffer pr!vations. hut
*re is no sacrifice which I can deem too great for the
benefit df Spain ; and even though I were about to be-
come the victim of indigence, still my last resources
should be exhausted for the constitution and the liberty
of the nation." This discussion was anspended when
tho Secretary of State enteral the Hall of the Cones,
mid San Miguel rote. Upon the instant every person
present was breathless with attention, and the silence
not pervaded the Hall and the crowded tribunes and
galleries was as profound as if it were a desert. He is

caught almost before it was spoken and rooted

task very badly. reeding in a dull monotonous voice, as

enthusiasm, many of the Deputies and the spectators
clapping their bands. These applause• were renewed
at the close of almost every subsequent paragraph, and
when this paper was concluded, they were continued
for several minutes. The Austrian Note was heard in
silence until the Minister came to the words " and a
military reriellios never ran form :lie basis of an auspi
ciousaud permanent Government ;" there was a short
murmur of indignation, which would hare been louder
but for the intense desire which was felt to hear dis-
needy what followed. The Assembly, taking it altoge-
ther, seemed struck with surprise at the light in which
this Note represented the history of the Spanish Revo.
lodes. iVhes they heard it said that the principal in-
struments of the Spanish revolution had excited
Naples and Piedmont to follow the example of the
Peninsula, Riego, Gallant), Arguelles, and others,
smiled at the assertion, wondering at the hardihood of
Metternich, who could put forth such a falsehood ; yet
it was soon evident that this note, the result of Metter
nick's experienced wisdom, was drawn op with tact and
a knowledge of human nature, for before the general
indignation was raised to its height, it was wonderfully
softened by that appeal to national pride which was so
artfully wrought up in the allusion to ,the peculiar pried.
tion of of Austria. But this result was only for the
moment, for, although the remainder of the Note was
framed in language alternately soothing and severe, the
terms in which the King was spoken of, as a captive
deprived of his liberty—and the authors of the Consti-
tution represented as acknowledging its impracticability,
excited unqualified hostility. When the Note was con-
cluded, however, there was no very general expression
of indignation. as its effect was in some measure
qualified by the friendly and admonitory tone in which
'tended. _ -

After pausing a few minutes, San Miguel proceeded
to read the Note from Prussia. Every thing depends
chiefly upon the manner in which it is done. There %vas
a great deal of Battery in the commencement of the
Prussian Note, but it sounded hollow, end evidently ap-
peared as if throws in by a command which said, " Put
down something in the beginning to cajole them." The
consequence use, it was laughed at. Ihe dignity of the
Assembly could se arcely be preserved when that passage
was read, which stated that the Cortes " presented no-
thing more than a conflict of opinions and objects, and
a struggle of interests and passions in the euidst of
which the most foolish resolutions and ptopositions have
been constantly crossed, combatted, or neutralized."
This picture of the Cortes and its d bates, if not 'aide,
was at least well calculated to exeite laughter by the
zeal which it professed to entertain for those proposi-
tions which it terms " the most foolish." The remain-
der of the Note, which is full of invectives against
the Constitution, was received with indignation, not
unfrequrntly interrupted by strong expressions of con-
tempt.

But all the rage of the Cortes—or rather, I might say,
of the public Assembly, for the spectators in the galleries
seemed to form an integral part of the meeting—all the
rage of ibis crowded and anxious assetutsly appeared to

galleries and the Deputies, and amidst these I heard
itu•re than once the imprecation, " Abase° el tiruno!"
(dotes oath the Tyrant) uttered with a tiercenes4 of toile
peculiarly Spanish. I should have informed you that
