II was reported, at Cadiz on the 10th,
that $4,000 French troops had entered
Spain.
AT the session of the Cortes, on the 9Th,
a deputation was sent to the King with
a reply to his speech. We have select
ed the following passages, which con-
tain the most important of its sentiments.
'sThe nnheard of pretension Of dc
tating laws 10 independent nations, if not
resisted, will draw in its train the ruin
and dissolution of the States of Europe
| and an endless war of determination
will reduce this cultivated country to
the barharism of Asia. Your Majesty
has replied ~ith dignity TO the notes of
| the powers; and the Cortes have only
to subscribe TO your just reflections on
the conduct of his most Christian Ma
)esty, and to agree that it would be un-
| reasonable TO reply to errors so anti-so-
cial, and indecorous in the Constitution
al King of Spain to make an apology for
our just cause, in opposition 10 malice
and hypocrisy. They assure your Alal-
esty that the energy, the reason and
the constancy of the Cortes vGll be the
best reply TO the speech of the most
Christian King.
If this nation performed such prodi-
gies, while deprived of the aid and CO.
operation of yoar Majesty, what will it
not be capable of doing when intimately
united with its Monarch, favoured by
the Constitution Of 1919, and with your
Majesty disposed TO contribute with all
ysur power to realize lis hopes? The
/ liberty of your Majesty, your security,
and that of the Government, are above
all things indispensable to such co-ope-
ration. The Cortes have taken all the
steps for removal to the place you and
your Government shall select"
| This address was delivered to the
King, who signi6ed his appreciation,
though his health still continued very
feeble; and preparations were immedi-
ately made for conveying him to Seville
in litter.
MADRID, MARCH 6.
During the discussions on the Sd, the
members speak of the situation Of the
country as most critical. The nation,
says one, is in the very crater of a vol
cano; moments are precious; conspir-
acy, like that at Naples, has been form
ed on all sides; and the most unheard-of
exertions will be necessary 10 secure
the country.
| Senior Rico said, that it would be in
vain to free themselves from that single
danger of falling into the power of the
French, unless they took care to destroy
the root of these evils. 1t was now time
TO take measures by which they might
escape a thousand misfortunes. He
could conscientiously say, that it was
necessary, and that it was the critical
time for the Cortes, to declare the plsysi-
cal impotency Of his Majesty (Great APP
| plause in the galleries.) When order
was restored by the president, Canga
| said, that the Cortes were in condition
to decree the place for removal, the
hour, and the very moment.
| 1t was on motion made by this last
| deputy, that it was resolved to recon-
mend to the government apunctual con-
clusion of the treaty of alliance with the
noble and valiant Portuguese nation"
| 1t is not little remarkable TO fad the
leading opposition paper of England
holding such language as the following,
when the leaders of the opposition in
Parlian emf, talk in the opposite strain:
| GA departure from the neutrality
might be productive of very serious
consequences. The French nation now
opposed to war with Spain, might, if
we were to become parties. forget the
injustice and impolicy its Government
in a contest with us. At present we
calculate on the people Of France as al
lies Of the people of Spain. Were We
to send an army TO the Peninsula, we
should infallibly rouse the national yani-
ty of the French, and give rise, perhaps,
TO an interminable war This is a con-
sequence which it would be madness to
hazard. Spain is strong in situation, and
does not want men,. We can serve her
more effectually by remaining at peace
than by sending force to the Peninsula.
Repeal the foreign Enlisting Bill--allow
free scope TO British generosity, and the
l French government, or we are much mis-
taken, will soon repent its undertaking.
