I BAN I KERS' NOTES. TO THE EDITOR. OF TIIE STAR. Plymouth, Apiil 18, 1821. s i z—The following paragraph appears in your Paper of the 14th instant, viz. 4 , An erroneous Idea being prevab fit that the small notes of Country linkers are to be withdrawn from circulatk.n i n May next, we deem it necessary to state, that, by An Act of Parlia ment, passed in the last Session, such notes are authorized to be circulated until the sth January, 1824." I am inclined to think, Mr. Editor, that the period during which Country Bankers are authorized to issue small notes ex tends to January, 1853, instead of 1324. At least so it appears Ly an Act of the last Session, 1,165,a L=d July, 1822, intitled " An Act to continue, until the stlr January, 1833, an Act of the 57th year of bia late Majesty for suspending the operation of a p Act of the 17th year of his Lite Majesty, for restrmining the nigociation of Promissory Notes and Bills of Exchange, under a Bruins' sum in England; and I am not aware that this Act has been superseded by any subsequent Act. As your Paper is distinguished for its general accuracy in re gard to legal matters, I have uo doubt of your readiness to cor rect the present error, if it prove to be one. I am, %Ir. Editor, your's, &c. A CONSTANT READER. [Our Correspondent is in the right ; and we are obliged to him lie the correction.' • THE POSSESSION OF CUB 4. • TO THE EDITOR OF Tilt STAR. Sia-A few days ago you inserted an article, dated Dublin, in which an assertion was made that " Cuba was n o t wort h a farthing to this country." This must be the effusion either or ignorance or of private interest misunderstood. That a West India Plantar, who has large estates in an English 'dad, should wish not to enlarge the extent of sugar plantations, from the fancied danger of diminishing the bentfit of his mono poly, is perhaps not unnatural. But the question embraces a great political and military consideration. The Americans are now possessed of West Florida, and consequently of Pensacola, cot of the first harbours in the West, which coniniatuls the Gulph 01 Mexico. On the event, which may be nearer than some persons imagine, of a war with that rising and ambitious country, our fleets of merchantmen will find obstacles, to be sur mounted only by a very powerful convoy, in sailing from our Writ India Islands. The cruisers from Pensacola, and the shelter and protection which they will receive in that port, will infallibly capture our vessels that are not under the immediate guard of a strong squadron. Nothing but the possession of the Havannah C/0 counterbalance the advantages in the hands of the Americans, asd afford security to our trade. We have a provident and able Administration, and it is believed that this subject has occupied their attention. They will at leant take care that Cuba, the finest Island in the West Indies, does not fall into the hands of the French, wha have been, and may again, he united with the Americans against us. • C.

'lhere can he no doubt of the general danger which menaces, more or less, the staHlity of all existing Gorcrnmenis, front the principles which are aft..,at, and from the circumstances that so many States of Europe are now employed in the difficult task of casting anew their Governments upon the representative princi ple; but the notion of revising, limiting, or regulating the course of such experiments, either by foreign ct.tiecil or by foreign force, would be as dialerous to avow, as it would he impossible to ezetute) and the illusion too prevalent on this subject, should not be encouraged in our intercourse with the Allies.= That circumstances might arise out of such experiments in any country direCtly menacing to the safety of other States, cannot be denies], and against such a danger, well ascertained, the Al lies may. justifiably, and must. in all prudence, be on -their guard; but such is not the present case. Fearful as is the ex ample which is furnished by Spain, of an army in revolt, and a Monarch swearing to a Constitution which contains in its frame hardly the semblance of a Monarchy, there is no ground for apprehension that Europe is likely to be speedily endangered by Spanish arms. In this alliance, as in all other human arrangements, nothing is more likely to impair, or even to destroy its real utility, than any attempt to 'push iti duties and its obligations beyond the sphere which its original ci.tiception and undcistond principles will warrant. It was an union for the re-conquest and libera tion of a great proportion of the Continent of _Europe from the military dominion of France; and having subdued the conqueror, it took the state of possession, as established by the Peace, under the protection of the Ailizece. It never was, however, intended as an union for Coe government of the world, or for the super intendence of the internal affairs of other States. • • • We shall be found in our place when actual danger menaces the system of Etirort.; but this country cannot, and wid not, act upon abstract and slicculatiye principles of precaution. The alliance which exists had no such purpose in view in its original formation. ft was never so explained to Parliament ; if it had, most assuredly the sanction of Parliament would never have been given to it; and it would now be a breach of faith, were the Ministers of the Crown to acquiesce in a construction being put upon it, or were they to suffer themselves to be betrayed into a course of measures, inconsistent with those principles which they avowed at the time, and which they have - since uniformly maintained both at home and abroad.

In 1822 we decliped the services of three French Regiments of the Army of ObseiVation. ljp to this day, no French soldier or peasant can be cited whom we have seduced, armed, paid, and thrust into the bosom of his country to devastate it. We have nut raised the tri-calor tag ; we' have not refused to publish a generous and salutary amnesty ; we have not invited to evening assemblies of etiquette French outlaws and conspirators; we have not tolerated that an individual at Madrid should invest himself publicly with the tick. of Charge d'Affaires of the.

In fine, we hays done nothing (for these negative proofs might form too diffuse a cata logne)—we have done not/sing against the French of those things which the French (that is to say the French Government), have done against us; and we have done for the Governments which excommunicate us, what none of them have done for us.

The Portuguese Government thinks proper to &Ores( ig•iinst the principle promulgated in the Speech delivered jesty on the 28th or January, at the opening.of the_present Ses. sion. The King of lfr dice has a right to hold to his Progethe language which suits them ; and it would be difeult io stand how the Portuguese Government can take umbras* a a Speech addressed to the Deputies of France. If the French army should be obliged to enter Spain, the Portuguese Charge d'Affaires will be at perfect liberty to quit the French tell ory; in conformity to the orders he has re ceived from his Court. If the French Government is forced to declare war against :be Spanish Government, it is not to support political theories, •but beeatise her immediate safety and her essential interests are compromised by the internal transactions of Spain.. France, not being in the same situation With regard to Por tugal, sees no plausible motive to induce the Government of his Most Faithful Majesty to renounce the relations of peace and friendship. France hopes that she shall not have to repel an - unprovoked aggression, nor to maintain a defensive war, which would have no other foundation or pretext on the part of those who should declare it than the promulgation of a principle on • which the political law of France is founded. As to future arrangements respecting the residence of Con suls, the French Government sees no occasion to enter into any amingement upon that subject, because it has never been the in tention of his Most Christian Majesty to recall either his Charge d'Affaires or hib Consuls from Portugal. He will in future adopt such measures as may be consistent with his dignity.—The undersigned, &c. (Signed) CHATEAUBRIAND. (TRANSLATION OT NO. 4.) M.

NO. h—CONFIDENTIAL MINUTE OF VISCOUNT CAS TLEREAGH ON THE AFFAIRS OF SPAIN, CONIMUNI CATED TO THE COURTS OF AtISTRIA, FRANCE, PRUSSIA, AND RUSSIA, IN MAY, 1320.. (Extract.) The events which have occurred in Spain have, as milat be expected, excited, in proportion as they have developed them. , selves, the utmost anxiety throughout Europe. The British Cabinet upon this, as upon all other occasions, is ever ready to deliberate with those of the Allies, and will unre-- servedly explain itself upon this great question of common- in terest ; but a.s to the form on which it may be prudent ;o con- • duct these deliberations, they conceive, they cannot ton early re commend that course of deliberation which will excite-the leisiu: attention or alarm, or which can least provoke jealousy in the minds of the Spanish Nation or Government. In this view, it appears to them advisable, studimesly to avoid any re-union of the Sovereigns;—to abstain, at least in the present stage of the question, from charging any ostensible conference with commis 'inn to deliberate on the affairs of Spain. They conceive it pre ferable that their intercourse should be limited to those confi dential communications between the Cabinets, which are, In themselves, best adapted to approximate ideas, and to lead, as far as may be; to the adoption of common principles, rather than to hazard a discussion in a Ministerial conference, which, from the necessarily limited powers of the individuals composing it, must ever be better fitted to execute a purpose already decided upon, than to frame a course of policy under delicate and diffi cult circumstances. There seems the less motive for precipitating any step of this nature in the case immediately under consideration, as, from all the information which reaches us, there exists in Spain no order of things upon which to deliberate; nor as yet any governing authority with which foreign Powers can commienicate. The King's authority, for the moment at least, seems to be dissolved. His Majesty is represented, in the I sat Dispatches from Madrid, as having wholly abandoned himself to the tide of events, and as conceding whatever is called fur by the Provi sional Junta and the Clubs. The authority of the Provisicnal Government does not ap pear to extend beyond the two Castilles and a part of Andalu sia :—distinct local authorities prevail in'the various provinces, and the King's personal safety -is regarded as extremely liable to be hazarded, by any step which might lay him open to the sus picion of entertaining a design to bring about a counter-revolu tion, whether by internal or external means. This important subject having been referred to, and consi dered by the Duke of Wellington, his Memorandum accom panies this Minute. His Grace does not hesitate, upon his inti mate experience of Spanish affairs, to pronounce, that the Spa. nish nation is, of all the European people, that, which will least brook any interference from abroad ; he states the many instances in which, during the last war, this distinguishing trait ofnae tional character rendered them obstinately blind to the most pressing considerations of public safety : he states the imminent danger in which the suspicion of foreign interference, and more especially of interference on the part of France, is likely to in volve the King ;—and he further describes the difficulties which would oppose themselves to any military operations in Spain, undertaken for the purpose of reducing, by force, the nation to submit themselves to an order of things, to be either suggested or prescribed to them from without. Sir Henry Wellesley has, in coincidence with this opinion, re ported the alarm which the intended mission of M. de la Tour du Pin bail excited at Madrid, the prejudice which, in the opi nion of all the Foreign Ministers at Madrid, it was calculated to occasion to the King's interests and possible safety. He also reports the steps which it was in contemplation to have adopted, on the part of the King, to endeavour to prevent the French Mi niater from prosecuting his journey to Madrid, when the intelli gence of the abandonment of the mission was received from Paris. At all events, thetefure, until some central Authority shall establish itself in Spain, all notion of operating upon her councils seems utterly impracticable; and calculated to lead to no other p,,,siVle result, than that of compromising either the King or the Allies, or probably both. .1 he present state of Spain, no doubt, seriously extends the 1 range of political agitation its Europe, but it must nevertheless be admitted, that there is no portion of Europe of equal magnitude, in which such a Revolution could have happened, less likely to menace other States with that direct and imminent danger, which has always been: regarded.at least in this country, as alone con stituting the case which would justify external interference. If the case is not such as to warrant such an be:reference—if we : do not feel that we have at this moment either the right or the means to interfere with effect by force—if the semblance of such an interference is more likely to irritate than to overawe; and if we have proved, by experience, how little a. Spanish Govern ment, whether of King or of Cortes, is disposed to Hate', to advice from foreign States, is it not prudelit at least to pause, before we assume an attitude which would seem to pledge us in ! the eyes of Europe to some decisive proceeding? Before we embark in such a measure, is it not expedient, at least, to Wet-, tain with some degree of recision, what we really mean to do? This course of temperate and cautious policy, so befitting the occasion, and the cr.tical position in whints the King is personally placed. will in no degree fetter our screen, when, if ever, the cause for acting shall arise. • NO. h.....
