LONDON. OF. II.
Two parties seem to be now especial
Iy agitated in Europe, by the meeting
of the Congress-the Ultras upon both
sides--the Ultra-Roya!ists and the u
tra-Liberals. They are both Of them
likely to be disappointed. We have
great respect for the one, and great dis
gust for the other. Both carry their
respective principles too far. The
one do not see that the time is gone by
for the success of their system-the
other persevere 10 their designs, with
an activity and a daringness that defy
all dangers; but, happily for the peace
of the world, despise all prudence
Both of them hope TO make Spain the
means of forwarding their projects
and they look to the Congress as their
great auxiliary. The Congress, we are
sure, will disaPPoint all parties, aud all
principles, and all persons that are ultra.
We are confident that it will not rec
ommend, that it will not sanction, that
it will not suffer any appeal TO the
sword, TO inculcate its principles and TO
enforce its DEGREES.
The Congress has to soothe, not 10
irrtate-to heal, not TO wound-to pro-
mote peace, not 10 inflict war. 1t is TO
bind and knit together more closely the
bonds of union between the nations OF
Europe. We cannot imagine any prin
ciple of aggression that can or will
force the subject of their deliberations.
No words, but those of peace, are like
ly to be heard from the sanctuary
Spain may be admonished to profit by
the experience OF the miseries Of rev
olutionary doctrines in ncighbourng
kingdom TO listen TO the lessons of cS-
perience, and to the voice OF gratitude,
but to expect no active Interference in
her internal affairs in favour of either
party. unless she attempt to carry rev.
dictionary principles beyoad her own
territories, or to put in peril the lives
of her sovereign and bis family.
We will venture TO affirm, that the
po1Osr Of Greut-Britain 7siH not be caLled
into ofensire action IN the efGiss Of Spain.
The conduct of Great-BritaIn, indeed,
has been clearly and broadly traced in
