Extract Of a letter TO the London Courier.
! PARIS, Dec. p" Dispatches were sent off this
afternoon to Spain. The question of declaration
OF war, will In all probability, depend upon the an.
swer TO these dispatches. The decisions OF the
Congress was sent off to Madrid from Verona, and
the dispatches now spoken Of, supposed to con

QUESTION to do certain acts, on the refusal 10 comply
with which requlsilion, war is threatened.
The late &C counts from Madrid, by no means
lead to the expectation, that the present govern
ment OF Spain will be willing to make any conces-
sisns for the sake of preserving peace. The last
tadvlces from Madrid are only eight days old and
by them we find that $ the Cortes were adopting
very actiye'and vigorous measures to raise large
military force The conduct of France was freely
spoken of, and loudly condemned in a recent de-
bate, when it wa again required, that France should
igiVe clear and categorical answer TO the question:
as to her intention to bring SO large army the
frontiers. Ii seems that this demand was answ cred
by statement OH the part OF the Spanish Ministry,
that negotiations were pending upon the subject.
1t vas declared in this discussion, according to a
private letter that but for the aid Of France in
ney, arms and projections the rebellion IN the north
east would have been Terminated long since.
| "Aii the news from Toulouse, Bayonne, and
Perpignan relative TO the successes OF the Consti
tutiouslists, is receiving daily confirmation; and
having quelled th. domestic enemy for the present
a, least il is not likely that the Spanish govern
ment will be inclined, on this account, to be more
Submissive"
FROM Tue L0nd0n courier, lee a.
| We have, since our last, given the deepest atten-
ton to the mass OF intelligence which we have re-
ceived, both public and private and we are iress-
by led TO this conclusion, that must take place
between France and Spain, unless of TWO things
happen which we have not al present the leas, right
Ito expect--1st, that the Cores will abandon their
Constitution and consent to model one upon the
views and principles OF the Continental Powers; or,
2dly, that France has persisted with such constan-
cy, and determination in getting her claim of right
to an armed Intervention With the affairs o! Spain
acknowledged without having the intention of eX-
ercising it. What a ridiculous figure would She
cut in the eyes oil European particularly
lin those Of Spain Instead OF discouraging the Re
voutonists in that country or in any other, she
would give them additional efronteiy and spirits.
They would argue in this way-"rhe Holy Ali
ance think TO ntimidate us by threats, but dare not
TO carry them into execution " Why, in that case
infinitely more in ury than benefit would be done to
the cause of legitimacy, and it would have been bet
ter that the claim of right had never been enforced
bu. that Spain had been left unnoced and unouch-
ed, to all the mischief and mseries Of the reyolu
ltonary warfare.
! Upon these grounds which appear to us perfectly
plain and natural, we cannot but be OF opinion, tina,
war will take place. And, as far as We have been
able to ascertain both parties have for some time
been making preparations for such an event. We
stated some days ago, that Spain had been giving
Increased activity to all her military efforts; ordering
fresh eyies to be raised forthwith under The seve
rest penalties; terrifying garrisons and indeed doing
every thing that announced the expectation OF al
immediate attack. Nina, was at the same time
directed to press the Army Of the Faith as closely
as posslble in order that their strength might b'
weakened, and their strong holds forced before tht
entrance of foreign army. Nor has France beer

creasing her army the Spanish frontiers and WI

she has ordered 10000 men of the class OF 1892 t.
