By the following article in the nom
official part of the Moniieur OF Tuesday,
it might indeed appear that the French
Cabinet had already assumed what may
be termed tone Of apology, for The tar
dy progress of preparations in Spain, Tor
the attack on South America.
Madrid, Dec. lS.-The government
beng Obliged 10 give its whole attention
10 the affairs OF the Peninsula, seems 10
relax in its preparations against t mde-
pendence OF the colonies. Some persons
pretend that answers from foreign cabi
nets az expected before our operations
beyond the ocean are concerted. There
is a report that the loans of the Coftes
will be recognized, with some modltca-
tions. The negotiation is deemed lnd!s-
pensable o maintain our credit.
The President, Message reach Lon
don IN Friday, the 26ih, and by the or
dluary course of the post, would be re-
celsed in Paris on Sunday, the 28th.
This article appears in the Monneur
Of Tuesday, the S0th, and although dated
Madrid, Deoemb.r Is, is VIGOROUSLY OF
Partisan manufacture. For 4" The whole
attention 10 he AFFAIRS oil The Peninsula"
to which the - relaxation of "prepara-
tons against the independents y Is attrl-
buted, no particular ne essity appears to
have arisen. Then as TO its being IRE
teuded' that answers from foreign cabi-
nets are expected. before corporations
beyond the ocean are concerted
now for the first time learn that these
operations beyond the ocean," Of which
SO much has been vaunted-are vet TO
be concerted Taking together the cir
cnmstances thus noticed, there cannot
be much risk of error in ascribing this
apologize article to the French Cabinet.
But the conclusion is nothing less than
amusing. The recognition OF the loan
Of the Cortes, is deemed indispensable
TO 6 maintain our credit"--the credit OF
Spain under the absolute government Of
Ferdinand.

me evident; and it 10 equally SO that
