bal, before he took the decisive step he
has taken, had communication with the
other Constitutional Generals. 1t is this
circumstance which creates the belief,
that pacifick arrangements viii grow out
of the transaction. 10 fact, if the army,
which proclaimed the Constitution, now
chooses to modify it, we do not see why
its will should not be omnipotent one
way as the other, especially if the mod
ifications are of nature to secure the
cooperation of the invaders. We must
wait for particular details before we can
understand the precise bearings Of re-
cent events; but if Abisbal continues to
be followed by his troops, we should not
be surprised to find him and them en-
ployed in escorting Ferdinand back to
Madrid and Seville. Their summons the
Cortes and Ministers would vainly at
tempt to dispute"
Bells Weekly Messenger, in speaking
Of the affairs Of Spain, remarks-Our
own opinion is briefly this If the diff
culties of the French army in Spain
should require the Austrian and Russian
armies to march up to their aid, and to
take the Swiss Cantons in their course,
we have no doubt but that these armies
would force their passage, if necessary.
We have no doubt whatever, that the
cause of legitimacy, as it is termed, has
become the rallying point of ALI the
Sovereigns of the Continent; and that
they will all move up, if required, for,
the subjagation of Spain. We have no
hopes, indeed, for Spanish liberty but in
two circumstances the first, that the
courage and patriotism of the Spaniards
themselves will be at length awakened;
aud the second, that in their time Of
need, that is to say, when the King and
Cortes shall be besieged at Cadiz, the
English Government will assist them
with maritime force.
The Duke del InEantado is said to
have refused to become a member of
the new Regency at Madrid.

upon Greece, both by land and sea-
Their feet, about 10 sail, amounts to

The individuals who are expected to
form the Regency at Madrid to govern
in King Ferdinand's name so long as his
captivity may endure, are three of the
most distinguished personages in Spain
namely, the Dukes de San Carlos and
del Infantado, and the Marquis de Casa
Yrujo.
