FRANCE AMI SPAIN

Jun. tuC HcWo iEOn ittEFiOT nt SPAN, COFl-
tsned in these papers, may be said to be of an
encouraging aspect, The constitutional bands
appeared to move withersoever they pleased,
and the political governors of various provinces
TO hold regular communication with Cadiz.-
We should infer. on he whole, from what we
have read in the Spanish accounts, that the
French have lost more men than the Spanards;
that their sdherents consist, in general OF the
dregs of the country, that the fortresses will
hold out; the Guerilla parties multiply in every
direction: Cadiz proves true to the Cortes, and
the invaders still meet considerable embarrass-
ment, If not utter destruction.
On the 18th and 18th June, the municipal boz
dies OF Cadlz presented to the Cortes, by depu-
tations, addresses in which they Congratulated
themselves AMI Spain, on the presence of that
assembly in Cadiz, and REQUIRED to the circum.
stances of the constitution having been formed
there in 1912, defended there in the las, resort
| and there proclaimed anew and re.established
in 1920 They anticipated thAtp peace and pros
perty would again be dlffused from the same
lmpregnable citadel of freedom, and answer ed

Their than submit to French coniroul The
| Cortes held their sittings in the same hall in
which the Constitution was framed IN 1912.

"Why should We not expect, notwt lstand ny
the TRIALS and conflicts which ali lovers OF their
country must now meet, that the cause of llber-

the soil OF the 4, ninsula; we have the KIM and
executive government and the Cortes IN our

On opening the Cores on the 10Th June, the

we presented no idle and costly array OF pomp
