Peninsula.— Whisteeor lino of conduct Ministers might have adoptePillsoecgard to Spain, nothing, •howeebr, ought to have retarded the execntion bf the grand plan of the emancipation of the inhabitants of South America, to whom, ever since 1790, Mr. PITT and all. his successors, not excepting the actual Ministry, have been promising their assist.., ance to enable them to throw off the cruel and oppressive yoke of the mother.country, whick , bad become so odious and intolerable to all, the thinking natives of that rich continents. It is. well known, that Ministers were on the point of sendiug au expeditiou to America, fur the expresi purpose of proclaiming and protecting the indelicate, deuce of that country (the impracticable projects ; of conquest having been happily relinquished after ithe disgraceful transactions at Boca's& Ayres), when the arrival of some deputies of one of the self tamed Spanish Junta di‘concerted this most glorious projoct as effectually as could have wished any of BONAPAItreS warmest friends. Ministers lirent,el to their propositions, and not only ad journed, but afterwards gave up the Intended enatturiptiou, and absolutely sokl the interests of this country, and those of dighteen millions Ines, to the monopolising views of the promoter of the insurrection in Spain. I shall not attacity this measure on the Ennud of injesticu and breach, of faith, .beeitise I kilo * , that these oreqncre trifles for politicians of theiiscoos ; but litiw can Mi nisters justify their conduct as tit the real an.l d hrest interests of their country, thus so inexcus ably destroyed ? Wily, shall we ask, was there any stipulation made concerning America, with the Spanish pa triots! Way did we pledge ourselves for the Caill11(1211Ce of the slavery of our natural friends ? Why hot allow to Meet the same liberty of thous • • ing a goverainent which the Spaniards claimed ? Iliad the self-elected Juntas actioired, or inherited, any rights over America ? And had they mot, ou the cootiary, acknowledged the very reverse, by hating invited them to send deputies to the Cortes e foe the avowed purpose of framing a coustitution ? If cc were determined to support the Spanish I only &Livery, and issued et their lie. ws, appointed by the Prince of PIACI, lon them others chosen by Martin de GARAY ) ROO! IMMO, We, of mdi rankly-to thirAlliffiCktllll, connections, it It impts succeed, wkile by our fruit iy increase the influence e is master of Spain, over tiocContinent of Armories. ~.linue_observations will render this more plain. rate America we ought to distlegitisie two classes tliQ 'datives, who compose the immense inafiii4ty, and who bear principally the weight of oppressioa, and the Spaniards, who fill most of the places of trust, who are nt the head of tie cisil and Ailitary departments, and are in the es- Junin what the Heehaws and Janissaries are in Turkey. Independence is the cry of the former; tiniest with Spain the constant wish of the latter. Whatever then increases the number and influetice ; of this second class, tends to give greater weight to the influence of the mother country ; and as the conquest of Spain is ceasingy at hand, we shall fi id that we have been furnishing BONA. PARTS with tools, by means of which he may finally succeed in the annexation of America to the kingdom of his brother Joni% Ile will not I fail to geaqt them more privileges than ever the ISupreme Junta held out to the inhabitants of the colonies, as his admission of American deputies at the Aisembly of Bayonne clearly proves. These who have not, like myself, been in Spanish Ame rica, will hardly conceive the full extent of the influence of the mother coutitry over the colonies: , the general and almost universal ignorance of evety, other language but the Spanish, the numerous' fa: tinily connections, the power of the priests and ~ monks, who consider themselves as dependent on the mother country, and the influence of the mi. litary consmanders, who are mostly Europeans, are all circumstances that afford great facilities le the possessor of Spain for the subjugation of Atne. rice. Let us not trust to oaths of allegiance and protestations of attachment to our cause from the Spanish Patriots, many of whom, no doubt, ere long, like the viewless highly welled D. Tstou.ts Motu, s, figure among the meats ser. mitt Of BONAPARTE, as do, indeed, at the pre sent day, two-thirds of the elm loyal French no. bility, who had sworn uglier to Almoiloo•tke cause of Louis XVIII. The ease is quite parallel; these noblemen meld not forget their native cows., try, where they still possessed friends and reld. tions, if net some remains of their property ; it, was for them the promised laud of the lees, and' so will Spain be that of most of the Spanish grants, when their enthusiress and resentment shall have subsided, and as soon as they sh ill sie 7 quire a conviction that the amnesty, which will no doubt be offered to them, is religiously ob served ; and Biriar.t RTC is too gnu, a politician out to adopt in Spain what with much less realism. lie has done in France and Naples. For many years to come, the fashions and opinions of .1 /a. drid will be I tws in Al •siro, Peru, ti.. as those of Paris and L 'tidies have long been in their re. spective provinces. Th.: sooner Men t.:ngland gives up all connection with Spain the better. It is as useless :is absurd and dangerous, to oiler the Americans a Kies; of Sicily whem the Spansarils have rejected...a Princess of BRAziL...or an font Don Pi:nuo, whom the inhabitants of Buenos' Ay res have refused to admit (in spite of the lista- 1 , nuations of Sir Synwcy SMITH)...aS to take a ship load of Spanish rubles, friars, priests, and I iw s ers, to govern them. Let the waives alone Iframe their own government; and all that ne have to il ~ is to watch ever the projects of the French, to intercept their agents and expeditions ! and !ts assist the natives against those friends of BONA. PA are who may have already acquired some in. (hence in the country. Honesty here, as in all other circumstances, will be faucet to be our beat policy, and the only atonement we can make for our past sins against Spanish America: LAS CASA& bream:mien, we spited to bare done it without binding ourselves to teeirthe eolonieh united with the suother.couutry. There was in such a treaty no sort of reciprocity ; we gave the Spaniards teu times more than they could hope for, or ever be able to repay us, in the inadmissible hypothesis of their triumph over BONAPARTE. Our policy was sery plain, for any other men but the present Ali. nisters....to give whatever assistance we might judge .proper to Old Spain, if we bad any reason to expect that an effeletual diversion could thus be operated in favour ) of Austria, if we thought a now coalition possible, or likely to have a better issue than the preceding ones; but never to stipu. late agalitst one interests and tint of the Attie !) ricsns.
