IL was thus that the Madid Observer,
written 10 French, expressed itself IN the
number of October lst, that is 10 say, three
months before France heard war spoken
of by the mouth Of her King long. before
our hospitable soil received the troops of
the Faith, al period 10 short, when the
Administration was reproached for stop
Plug, at Bayanne, Transports of muskets
destined for the Spanish royaiists.
II would be easy to multiply these cita-
tons in one of the numbers of the same
.Iourual, we should fnd the qualification of
Infamous given to the Government Of Lou
is XVIII. In another, we should learn
that French General in non-acfivity
writes hatMr first cannon fyed against the
Ssaniards aoiH b. the signal Of The fail Of
he Boiubons. In all of them, in short, are
found the same language, the same hatred,
and often expressions aud caluinnes a
gainst our Princes, that we could not trans
crlhe without exciting indignation in all
French hearts.
These public revelations are confirmed
by secretrevelatlons. Letters Of high inn
portance written by men whose names
to forbem 10 mention, that we may
not impede the future course of JUS
tce, have fallen into the hands Of the
Government. In them part of the plans
are unveiled We there meet with the pro
Ject of forming corps under the tri-colored
flag, and proclalming Napoleon H. The
Spanish Ministers are represented as lend
ing themselves TO these measures, only de
mand'ng of the c0nspiators discretion,
and recommending them not to proceed
too fast. The Journal, published in French
at Madrid, which We have already cited,
thns announces these conspiracies,:
Several Frenchmen of distinction, Of
those men IN which the nation prilessitself,
and who So greatly contributed to its glo-
ry, have formed the project of passing
into Spain, aud Of forming there a'regeney
which will dispatch orders Il DEGREES nthe
name Of Napoleon II, Legitimate Emperor
othe French, and wiz proclaim the addi-
ronal act of 1915. The consent of the
Spanish Government, which they have
solicited, will probably not be refused 10

Thus the vail falls of, and the revoli.
tionists of Europe believing themselves
secure of their success allow themselves
TO utter language against France of which
the audacity scarcely exceeds the indscrc-
ton.
II was Impossible that the French gov
| ernment could shut its eyes 10 projects 50
clear and perils so imminent.
In proportion rs events unfUdcd them
selves, other legitimate causes for war oc-
CURED To unite with the former. Civil war
by extending in Spain increased our dagger
every instant, and on the other hand al
most the totality of the Spanish naton
called IT'S tn their succour, which in thclaws
