FRANCE AND SPAIN. ,.
The following article from a French Gov-
ernment paper, probably contains all the ‘ar-
guments that could be adduced in justification
ofthe conduct of France, in the war against
Spain.~—-Mercdntile ./ldvertiser.
From the Paris Jllonitcur, flpril 16. V
The question of war with Spain has pursued
the direction which the forms and spirit ofour
Government have traced for it. Opinion first
subjected it to the independence of its decis-
ions, and afterwards rising to the tribune of
the Chambers, it found opponents in the most
ardent leaders of the opposition, and support-
ers and defenders in the Orators of our__1_’;gL<f
liamentary majority.
This grand debate, so novel in our manners
and our arinals ud which held the eye ofEu-
rope fixed upon us, allowed every thing to be
said, and afforded the time to say it. Every
passion made its voice heard: every interest,
even that most contrary to France, did not
want an expositor; there was nothing even
to the spirit of faction, which, lifting up its
head through our liberties, has not appeared
with its hatred, its projects, its turbulence, and
its sopliisms. The subject is then quite ex-
hausted. Facts alone have now to speak,
they form the historical part ofa discussion to
which it is time that they should lend their
support. It will be seen that the war with '
Spain, far from being an aggression, as it has
been pretended, is undertaken in the exclusive
interest oflegitimate defence ; it will be seen
that far from attacking a faithful ally,devoted,
as it has been sought to have believed, to the
cares which its nascent liberty require, we take
arms to support our independence against an
enemy who molests and threatens it. Let us
say aloud, since it is so, that the Spanish rev-
olution is a war against the French monarchy.
The revolotion, that blight of modern society,
did only attach itself to Spain to extend at a
later period to us. I~Ve were surrounded, and
as it were, besieged by a system ofperfidy,
fraud and hatred, from which it was necessa-
ry at any price to deliver ourselves; it is not
then the thirst ofconquest, nor the senseless
project of forcing back a nation to its laws,
which urges and impels us beyond our fron-
tiers. It is the care ofour political existence;
in a word, it is necessity, which marches, with
justice, at the head of our legions.
When revolt, that coiunion parent of all
traitors, gave in the isle ofLeon a signal to
the revoliitionists of all countries, our eyes
were turned with apprehension towards Spain.
Her revolution, which was then only mena-
cing to our future, already stripped the pres-
ent of its security.
Very soon the events ofNaples, where the
Constitution ofthe Cortes was proclaimed;
those of Turin where the scenes of Madrid
and Naples were repeated, and of which the
repercussion was felt as far as Grenoble,taught
us that the moment was approaching when
the ill-extinguished embers of our civil discord
were about to be re-kindled. Naples and
Turin being compressed, diminished the dati-
ger, which existed no longer except upon one
point. We believed that the Pyrenees would
suliice to defend us. Ason of France upon
the throne of Spain, had lowered them before
us ; before the Cortes it was necessary to raise
them up. The political situation ofthe two
kingdoms was then greatly changed, and yet
our relations were not interrupted; only Spain
has ceased to render them frank and amica-
ble. She even dared, in the illusions ofa pre-
tended superiority, to hold a language, which
France is more accustomed to utter than to
hear. By what the Spanish revolutioiiists
say, to bring down the tri-coloured flag from
the top ofthe mountains which skirt our fron-
tiers, was sufficient to snbinerge the throne of
our Kings beneath the billows ofa revolted
population. To dream of the tri-colored flag
was to reveal what design was at the bottom
of the Spanish revolution, and what interests
it sought to set in action. This design mani-
festing itself every day more and more, Spain
no longer concealed her evidently hostile acts.
The arrival of the scourge which desolated
Barcelona, imposed on us the duty of estab-
lishing a cordon of troops to prevent the con-
tact of the two nations. This measure had in
it nothing alarming, nothing hostile towards
Spain. We employed the same measure in
1820, against one of our own Provinces,which
being a victim to a contagious disease, found
itself thus separated from the Kingdom ; not-
withstanding these precautions, we so little re-
garded Spain as opr enemy, that we sent to
her Frenchmen, with the mission to study the
malady and afford relief. Surely,good neigh-
borhood could not go further! Yet, what at
that period was the conduct of Spain ? She
received into her bosom our state criminals,
who, having escaped our tribunals, and being
enemies to the Bourbons on one side of the
Pyrenees, had only to pass those mountains to
find protectors in the Spanish Government.
From that moment every thing assumed a
serious character. The Spanish faction ob-
tained insertion in the English Journals for
articles,and even songs,insulting to the House
of France. Our troops were excited to revolt
by them, in the name of the Spanish revolu-
tion. Agents of the revolution came to Paris
to concert with the factions, over whom the
Government exercises an active surveillance.
Obliged to conceal their plots at home, our
conspirators revealed them in the French pa-
pers printed at Madrid. These papers de-
nounced to Europe our laws and institutions;
they held up our magistrates as sanguinary
men ; at length, by a last degree of audacity,
the Royal Family were treated by these libel-
lests, as Louis XVI. the Queen, and Madame
Elizabeth, had been treated by their predeces-
sors. We have here a proof of all these facts
derived from one ofthe papers,which is an in-
terpreter of the revolutionary party :-
“The sword of Damocles, which is suspen-
ded over theBourbons,will shortly smite them.
Our means-of vengeance are _rnanifest.Besides
the valiant Spanish army, have we not in that
sanitary army, 10,000 chevaliers of Liberty,
ready to join themselves to their ancient oin-
'oers,' andto turn their arms against the oppres-
sors qf France? Have we/not more than
100,000 of these chevali'e_rs_in the interior of
the Kingdom, of which at least 925,000 are in
the ar'my,.and more than 1000 in the Royal
Guards ? Have we not on our side that irasci-
ble hatred that nine-tenths of France have
vowed towards execrable tyrants f?”
It was thus that the Madrid Observer, writ-
ten in French, expressed itself in the number
of October 1st, tliree months before France
heard war spoken ofb the mouth ofher king;
long before our liospi able soil received the
tr 3 of the Faith ; at a period,in sliort,when
inistration was reproached for stop-
ping, at Bayonne, transports of muskets desti-
ned for the Spanish Royalists. '
It would be easy to multiply these ‘citations ;
should find the qualification of infamous giv-
en to the government. of Louis XVIII. In
another, we should learn-that a French Gene-
qf the fall of the Bourbons. In all of them,
in short, are found the same language, the
nies against our Princes, that we could not
transcribe without exciting indignation in all
French hearts. These public revelations
are confirmed by secret revelations. Letters
of high importance, written by men whose
names we forbear to mention, have fallen into
the hands of the Government. In them part
ofthe plans are unveiled ;_we there meet with
the project of forming corps under the tri-co-
colored flag, and proclaiming Napoleon II.-—-
The Spanish Ministers are represented as len-
ding themselves to these measures. TheJour-
nal published in French at Madrid, already
cited, thus announces these conspiracies :-
“ Several Frenchmen of distinction,of those
men in whom the nation prides itself,and who
have so greatly contributed to its glory, have
formed the project of passing into Spain, and
offorming there a regency which will dispatch
orders and decrees in the name ofNapoleon
II. legitimate Emperor of the French, and will
proclaim the additional act of 1815. The
consent of the Spanish government, which
they have solicited, will not be refused.”
And lower down the same Journal says-
“ Her Majesty, the Empress Maria Louisa,
will be invited to preside over the regency.—-
It is very certain that if the invasion does
take place, we shall see astonishing things.”
Thus the veil falls off, and the revolutionists
of Europe believing themselves secure of their
success, allow tkemselves to utter language a-
gainst France of which the audacity scarcely
exceeds the indiscretion. It was impossible.
thatthe French government could shut its eyes
to projects so clear and perils so imminent.—-
In proportion as events unfolded themselves,
other legitimate causes for war occurred to ii-
nite with the former. Civil war by extending
in Spain increased our danger every instant,
and on the other hand almost the totality _of
the Spanish nation called us to their succour,
which in the laws of nations has ever been
considered as a legal motive for intervention.
In short, those who are not disposed to admit
either the plans of our enemies or the efibrts
which they made to find in our ranks imitat-
ors of Quiroga and Riego ; those who would
contest with us the right ofapp reheiidiug and
repelling the moral contagion of the Spanish
revolution ; even those persons cannot contest
the facts, more or less. [An extract is here
given from a pamphlet which had been distri-
buted among the French soldicrs.]
The following important documents were
taken from a man who was apprehended on
the frontiers by the gendarnies. In them the
rcvolutionists fully reveal their designs.
‘ Grand Head- Quarters of the Army of Free-
men, upon the Pyrenean Mountains, the
———day Qf———, 1823.
‘Annaess T0 nu: rasncrr ARMY.
‘ Frenchmen-—The period is at hand to
which you have been called by the destinies of
great nations, to teach, in your turn, to the
whole world what the love ofcountry and na-
tioiial independence can etfect upon great
minds; you have incessantly combatted with
renewed success the hydra of despotism arm-
ed against you, in a single day upon all the
points ofEurope: in vain the hordes ofthe
north, in vain the machiaval manoeuvres of
haughty Albion tried to weary out your can-
stancy anc courage ; you have astonished, by
multiplied prodigies of valor, the corrupt men
who flattered themselves, in their pride. that
they had only to present themselves in order
to impose on you the yoke, and to carry you
back again under the feudal power; you an-
swered to their sacriligious cries of duty and
submission by the sacred shouts of Liberty and
the Country ; to live free or die, was your
motio: it always led you in the path of glory ;
you lived, your enemies turned pale, and fa-
naticism and feud ality broke their torches and
their chains, in the despair of rage and death.
‘ It would be a most astonishing spectacle to
present and future generations, to see you, at
this day, the blind instruments of tyranny,
warring against a nation as great as it is gen-
erous, who, long the admirer of your virtues,
has dared to march in your footsteps! French-
men, we run to you not as enemies, but "as
brethren ; we are present with you and in
arms. \’Vho is there among you, iflie glories
in the French name, that does not shudder
before he thrusts the murderous steel, which,
to whatever point it may be directed, must
