This fuhjett LONDON, SATURDAY, JANV.tIIY 10, 1819. 11'e continue our extracts from tin , America's Papers, and this day present a orison of Mr. CLAY . y speech in the House of nepre..ototiv,,,. on proposing that Committee be is.structed to in quire what prosi.ions of law wet e necessary to in sore to the American Colonies of Spain a Jost o'.servatice of the duties insistent to the neutral relation in whip the United States statist in the present contest betweeu them sold the Mother Country. This proposition was stilstnitted to the House in cousequence of the recent arrest at Moho slrlphia of' (line or ten dislatiolesl of of the Rriti3h army, who were chargtd, and most pro bably with jostice, of intending to unite them selves with the Independents in the Southern Pro vinces. 'These Gentlemeo, it would seem. bad not concealed their purpose, and are said to hare ap peared in public in their military costume ; but they are not accused of having attempted to seduce any citizen of the United States into a participation of their honourable danger, our of having in a neutral port organised a military enter prise against either of the belligerent parties. They had merely touched at Philadelphia in their voyage from England to the intended scene of their future exploits, and being there, as Mr. CLAY supposes, pointed ut by souse Spanish agent, were proceeded against with the greatest rigour. as having violated the neutral relations of the United States. Mr. CLAY is Speaker of the House of Representative., and tnust consequently be considered one of the best continentals's-1i upon the nature ands spirit of the law passed under Ilia auspices during the last Session ; and we are happy to lied that his opinion it decidedly favourable to the British ()Seers. Mr. CLAY, in remarking upon the neutrality to be observed by the Stater towards the contending par ties, complains that it has not been impartial ; that the spirit of neutrality hat not been fairly ob served lay the authorities within thes Union ; that 4 , the Acts of the Government had been all on one side—hod all borne against the Colonies, against the cause in which the Patriots of South America were arduously engaged." This charge 'Tains' the Goverument of the United Stater, from all authority so high as the first Representative of the Union, must sound strangely to those Euro peans who have accustomed themselves to husk fur a ready sympathy in those halt %W.. cee,led by a revolution in establishing their 0;:n dependence towards their Southern neighbour., i‘lio were striving by similar means to accomplish a tine• lar object. But we are far from thinking the charge wet' substantiated. If the acts of the n neu c have appeared to be directed against the Colonists, a because such acts alone were calculated to in- . . mire a perfect neutrality: Had the feeliop of tlio people been as strongly iuterested to favour of Sputa as we know them to be on the side of the Colonists, and were the Government of the Utiimi desirous of maintaining a strict neutrality betwet t: the contending; powers, the trans of the i•lc^-'R had heels atterrd, and the acts :if the G.%....:1ieht had then *tensed to have been directed ;.!higetl,Er against the Mother Comitiy.

It is, however, no difficult matter to ili•cern the tendency of Air. CLAY'S mnid, upon the sislije:l of this contest ; and we believe that lois generous sentiments may be fairly considered as a specitut Is of those which prevail throughout the great extent of the Union. It is difficult to imagine that the Government should, on such a point, stand imitated its the midst of the nation ; but us Statesmen must. as Gulliver has laid it down, be " creatures wholly exempt f all generous feelings," so thoee in the United States, in obedience to the cold dic• totes of political expediency, have suppressed all emotions of pity ; sympathy, and indignation, and stiffer their unfortunate neighbours to endure the miseries of a protracted civil war, exposed to tlic Instal excesses of the Royalists, and the destructive disseutions of the colonial Chiefs, where, even if the i •er of Spain were flung off, the want of uniformity in action, and the absence of a regular s)eteitt, present iii their consequences an ults!rnative scarcely less dreadful than a relapse into former slavery. fled France acted with a similar reserve, while the success of the struggle between Great Britain stud her Colonies war yet doubtful, the United States might not, at the present Monient, be debating the propriety of their neutrality. 11'e have received Philadelphia Papers to tree 0, and Nal,i ix to the 4d last.
