There is a rumo•ir now on foot that the King of Spain, to get another loan, will make some concession with regard to the holders of the present bonds; that he will take them, in part of payment, at a low rate; bat that a distinction will be made between the loans. The New Times, with its accustomed prostitution of principle, and utter contempt of reason, has the follbwitig remarks upon the matter: We long ago stated the principle on which " the recognition or disavowal of those securities must " ultimately rest, and which W4ll simply the bona fides of " each particular transaction. Both parties dissented " from this rational position. On one side it was contended " that none of the loans should be recognised ; on the " other, that they should all be so. One party cried out, '• would you have a lawful Sovereign sanction the acts " of rebels:: The other party ahsurdly maintained, that " the King was bound to pay for the eery daggers pointed  " at his throat. It non• appears that both those extreme •' opinions bare been practically abandoned." Now, it so happens, that:one of the misfortunes of Spain was, perhaps, that there were not any daggers pointed at the throat of Ferdinand ; since they have not only been pointed at, but plunged into the throats of much better men.onanciutt4naie, preservation. But look at the reasoning of the New Time:. It is not to be expected that the King should psy for daggers pointed at his throat. 'let the. New Times tells us. he is going to pay fur Muse very daggers ; that it going to premise to pay for them; not at (befell price,indeed,f- but at a much lower rate." To the fast, and the feeling, whether promises to pay one farthing; or a thousand pounds, the matter is just the same ; but the troth is, that the earlier loans were more fatal to his authority, than the later ; and the first was aimed more directly at his supremacy than the last. If there ware at any tims danger to Ferdinand. ft was at the commencement, and not at the termination of his imprisonment; for after the repeated proofs that his life was not sought by the revolutionists, he could have no fear that it was in any danger. From the first mo meet or the revolution, Ferdinand bas been actually and necessarily under the same restraint ; differing in the degree as affected his personal movements, but always under the observance of those who had the charge of him. Is it not basely villainous for any public writer to talk of his haring bad " daggers at his throat," when be has been treated with a respect and courtesy, the most undeserved , and has repaid with the most infamous hypocrisy ; an hypocrisy which only falls shortlof that ofour English Advocate ," murder. The New Tinsel affects to caution the moneylenders against a new loan to Ferdinand ; but at the same
