SEVILLE, June 1.-The. Secretary OF State has
transmitted the following Circular to the Diplomatic
Agents of IL. M. at Foreign Courts.
All know the constantly hostile aud perhdious
conduct of the Cabinet of the Tuilleries towards
Spain, from the moment that she reestabilshed the
political constitution by which she is governed -
The thick veil which for some time covered the
many treacherous designs of that cabinet, was to
the scandal of morality and public decency, torn by
the French Ministers in the midst OF Legislative
assembly and posterity will learn with indignation,
Iby the confession of the denquents themselves,
that the government of monarch styling himself
most christian, hurled on peaceful nation, its
lneghbor, friend and ally, the brands OF civil dis
cord created factions, and cherished assassins and
traitors thus violating the faith Of treaties that it
turned aside from the tranquil it would have
pursued, political revolution the most legitimate
and bloodess that is to be found in the annals of
nations, by stipending vile writers TO defame virtue
to sow distrust and TO preach anarchy that ii
Icalumniated the cause Of liberty, avaing itself Of
those very excesses OF those very commissions which
that it undermined the foundation of universal jus
tice and the law OF nations, by introducing that mi
Iquitous principle Of the interference Of one power
with the domestic concerns Of another principle
which destroys all independence, all tranquility and
all stability in society, in order to establish the ne
eessity OF an mpous war, and OF an invasion the
most abomnable that man has ever witnessed but
outrages Of SO henous nature were not sufficient
to satisfy the cabinet of the Tuillercs In order to
soothe the frenetc faction by which it is ruled il
was necessary to such wrongs by one OF those
deeds which appear from lime to time in the bloody
pages Of history, and are the opprobum Of ciyiza-
tion and the disgrace of the people who tolerate
them. 1t was requisite that government that
loudly procaims the dogma oil the legitimacy oil
dynasties and OF the sanctty oil monarchical power
as the only safeguard of the tranquility and happ
ness of nations, should hold out to the world the no
less vile than dangerous example OF creating, re-
cognsing and patronsing assembly of traitors TO
their country and king, that would dare 10 style il

be extolled sedhion excited, the bonds OF subord-
nation and public order broken, that the beneficial
charm OF authority should be from her. that, in
word, the foundation of the throne which il pre-
tends to strengthen, should be undermined, and
that an unworthy shade should be cast over the
good faith OF the august monarch who occupies it
supported by the loyalty of his subjects. 1t was
requisite, that, preceded by handfus Of deluded apd
wicked men, the army of power which supposes
itself first in the rank of civilization should so far
pervert the terrible laws of war (thus making them
still more odous and destructiye as TO receive as

gave the law to the rest is oday the object Of their
