and there is really reason to fear that Ferdinand
will risk war rather than accedc to the just
claims of this country and OF Portugal. The
| Qvotidieaar, French ultra paper, and the organ
of the Apostolicas, states positively that FcIsin-
and has rejected the demands of the british
Government with more hrmness than civllity; and
the London Courier, paper likely to be well
acquainted with the matter, speaks of the state
of the negotiations as most unsatisfactory. 1t
is stated that the Church, the only body possess
ed Of wealth in Spain, has offered to support
Ferdinand with all its treasure and its influence,
and an army estimated at from to 10000 men,
is assembling on the frontiers of Portugal. This
looks more like war than peace.
