Advices from Madrid induce be-

are determined to object TO any pro-
position which might be made to them
to modify the present Constitution.
The success of the COnsti!utionalists,
under the orders of the ierocious

trlumphs accelerate the execution of
the plans, whatever they may be,
which the French may have in view
TO adopt, in virtue of the discretionary
power, granted toit by the Congress
We have already said that it would
be unreasonable to supDose that France
has urged the recognition Of a right
which she does not propose to enforce.
ii the Royalists of Spain could alone
maintain their cause, France might
continue spcctatrcss of the pending
struggle, but now that it is known
with certainty that The Royalists can
not longer resist, unaided The march
OF Nina, and the retreat of the army
OF the Faith, are two circumstances
which ought to cut short all delay, and
force the government to act forthwith.
