any. This practice of getting up a reputation
for pluck, and then not showing any, is one OF
the most stupid humbugs of the age, and it is
high time that it was stopped.

what Spain will not do, while they have not the
slightest idea of what really is passing in Spain,
we now translate from a full report of the pro
ceedings of the Spanish Cortes on the 18th of
December last, the following remarks of Senor
Calderon Collantes, the present Minister ofState
