ENGLISH PAPERS.

we continue our selections, says The
Baltimore American, from English papers
received by the ship Belvidera, Captain
Hobson, at this por; from Liverpool.
The M~unchausen stories told daily by
the Journal des Debats. L'Etoile, and 9TH
er Of the Partisan papers respecting the
success Of the armies in Spain, are thus
wbimsically noticed by the editor of the
Courier Francois:
Nina, seven weeks ago, had 700 men
under his command. With these zoo
men he made a p~recipitate fight. Out oil
these TOO men 8,00 deserted. In his

PARIS, Iuly 2-Tbe suspension of our
Joprn,' has not permitted US TO examine an
event very important IN the pre-ent con
iuncturr. fhe recall by the three powers
OF the North OF their Charge d'Afaifes al
the Court OF Wirtemburg will probably
produce impOr,an: results, and deserves to
be considered. This measure gives a de-
cIdedly 1t ~ character to the pbilCy oi Ca
blnets. Ii does not operate merely upon
the freedom OF nations, but ugOn the indie.
pendence OF Princes, tor the Holy Alliance
extends is jurisdiction from subjects TO the
Governments themselves. We have fore.
seen this step, and ven confirm our con-
lectures. Ii appears that finding he pro-
ceedIngs Of the Holy Alliance contrary 10
diplomacy, The King of Wirlenb burg reject
ed its decisions. The retreat OF the Ann
La,sadors OF the three cabinets indicates
that he was determined no, t. adopt mea-
sures in which he had not participated, or
subscribe 10 the internal change exacted
OF him. Will they act mIlitarily IN his
case, al r having exhausted their stock of
invitations? In SPAN, the retirement OF
Ambassadors followed the rupture of me-
gutialions and was followed by the retreat
OF the Ambassadors. viii il be the same

In the latter event It will becor e evident
that it is detern med to make absolute

tative Government is attacked 10 all pla.

Ii is attempted 10 prevent il where it is
not established, and to destroy II where it
pas triumphed. For some time, it not be-
ing wished to attack CONSTITUTIONS openly,
Revolution, were the mark, and It seemed
not TO be wished To ann al liberty, but al
disorder. The doctrine OF vlcinage and
that of moral contagIon have served idf the
invasion OF several states. and the pretext
tor these MEASURES has been the prpservs-
ton OF order. But now there must he a

therefore, this time be confessed, that they
no longer attack revolutions but liberty:
that they do not direct their measures a.

The Drapeau Blanc, TO show the true
state Of affairs, published a list of the for
tresses which we have still to take, and OF
the Generals and Guerrilla Chiefs who are
still to be subjected. Tbs list appears to
US incorrecl; we believe the following will
be found more correct and complete.
