FOREIGN. AFFAIRS.


WIN The Allied Sovereigos of Earope, 10 ia.
king in regsrd 10 the affairs of Spain, is by
10 uaeans the result, OF sudden and ha,y
ceci-ion. There can be TO doubt that is wss
r-.cived upon, before the assembling of the
Congress OF Verona; and all that was there
done, upon this subject, was the fruiless at,
tempt to ia6uce Gseat Britain TO involve
herself in the crusade, & to consul. upon the
mere ceremony of giving u solemn sanction
to q neasvse already PREDETERMINED. All.
though the opposition of the British Cabinet,
and the earnest remonstrapces of the Duke
Of Wellington against the folly, madness,
and wickedness OF the enterprise, caused
France to pause for moment, yet she was
too far committed &c recede. Various cir
camstances have trAnspired, which udubita.
Ely sbov,that such was.the fact, 4 that there
was previous understanding Diweeu che
governments and certain individuals. As
far back as December, il was understood at
St. Petersburg, that q private treay, Often
sive & driensivs, had been entered into ee,
tween ths goyernnentsnf Rus.iaxS France, of
great importance, y that war was, sthereiore
inevitab e. This was OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES &
the enmpac. was probably sealed without
the privity of tbs Dake of Wellington, else
be would have spaced himself The las, effort
at mediation which he made si Paris
Taere was also another occurrence, which
II may be prcper 10 mention mere, as illus
.rative of the jncslins that has prevailed.

were uttered officially to transpire, promo

Army of the Faith,'' A suit was brought
against the parties before ranied, nv the
Spanish Minister, resident st Paris, who
complained that it constituted az of.
fence under article IL of the law IN May,
1919; it therefore prayed that the wDrds Re
Sency of Spa,n established az Urgep be

be forbidden TO isi1e the like in future, IN.
