Stuart, it is said, 10 consequence of having
observed that frequent communications
were made from the Russian Ambassador
TO the French government, respecting
which great secrecy was maintained, com
planned 10 Mr.. Canning of his reserve, as
leaving him entirely uniformed on the
policy Russia was pursuing on the great
question in agitation. Mr. Canning, in re-
| ply, gave positive instructions TO Sir {.
| Stuart To press the French Ministry, and
to demand an explanation on this point ;
when ii was disclosed to our Ambassador,
with some reluctance, that Russia had
been urging the French government, in
the strongest manner, TO undertake the IN
raslon of Spain and, to remove all pleas
of weakness for the enterprise, had offered
to support France, if thought necessary,
with force of 100000 men. Mr.. Can
ming, it is added, was so indignant at this
want of frankness at the time when the Of
fer of England's mediation was under con-
sideration, that he despatched messenger
to oyertake Lord Fitzroy Somerset, who
had Just quilted London, with Instructions
TO him, Immediately ON his arrival at Ma
