Our readers will be glad, but not surprised, to see that this contest is at last terminated, by the return of the deluded workmen to their occupa tion : so must all such combinations end, let but the masters stand firm and true to themselves. " LEEDS MERCURY OFFICE, NOY. 7. " SECOND EDITION. " The contest between the master manufac turers and their workmen, at Bradford, is happily at end. The good advice given to the men has been taken. On Saturday, in the afternoon, near ly a hundred of the Union men applied to Mr. Wood, one of the principal spinners in the town, for work at the old wages ; and this morning the combers and Iveavers generally followed their ex ample. On Saturday, the weekly allowance was for the most part paid to the turn-outs by the Union Committee, sitting at the Roebuck inn ; but the hopeless nature of the contest, as demonstrated in this paper of the 29th ult., had diminished the supplies, while the approach of winter was daily increasing the demands upon their funds, which could not be answered by a less sum than twelve or fourteen hundred pounds a week. The danger of losing their work entirely, by the in troduction of machinery, and the arrival of work men from other places, had its influence on the decision. The Committee, bowing to circum stances, left the workmen to resume their work ; and the masters seem disposed to receive as many of them as they can employ, which may be about one half the number. The town of Bradford is. in the meantime, in a state of considerable excitation. The streets are tilled with groups of workmen, some of them deliberating upon the course to be taken, and others reporting the success or failure of their applications to their former employers. The inhabitants in general are congratulating each other very cordially upon the termination of the contest, and anticipating the revival of that pro sperity which for the last '2O years has rendered Bradford one of the most flourishing and increas ing places of its size in the kingdom.—The meet., log at Fairweather Green took place this after- 000n,-John Tester in the chair : after some pre liminary explanations relating to the conflicting statements which had been published ou the subject of the amount of wages earned by the combers before the strike, the Chairman announced, that having found that the mas ths could not afford to give nu advance of wages at the price at which manufactured stuff goods were now selling, a number of the men had applied for work at the former prices, and some of them had succeeded ; others, it was hoped, would be equally fortunate, and those who could not obtain work would still continue to be paid the usual allowance from the Union funds. in conclusion they were congratulated on the recog nition of the Union Society by the Masters, so far as not to require any of their workmen to dis own it. With this explanation,and this consolation, the meeting, which consisted of from 1,200 to . 1,500 workmen, seemed satisfied ; and a vote of thanks was carried unanimously, on the motion of Mr. Tester, seconded, by Mr. Walworth, to Mr. Wood and Messrs. Rand, for the readiness they had shown to meet the men on the present occa sion, and for their liberal conduct towards their workmen. The meeting dispersed in perfect good humour at nightfal, it having been pre viously announced frtpfn the chair, that no further meetings would be held at this place." STATE PAPER. AUTHENTIC)COPY of a NOTE addressed by the Right Hon. GEORGE CANNING, His Majesty's Principal Se. cretary of State for Foreign Affairs, to the Chevalier DE LOS RIOS, Minister Plenipotentiary of His Most Catho. lie Majesty. YOUEIGH OFFICE, MARCH 25, 1825. The Undersigned, his Majesty's Principal Se cretary of State for Foreign Affairs, is commanded by his Sovereign to deliver to the Chevalier De Los Rios, for the purpose of being transmitted to his Court, the following reply to the Official Note addressed by his Excellency M. Zea to his Majesty's Charge d'Affaires at Madrid on .the 21st of Ja• nuary. So large a portion of the Official Note of M. Zen was founded upon a denial of the facts which had been reported to the British Government with respect to the state of the several countries of Spanish America, and upon an anticipation of events expected by the Court of Spain to take place in those countries, by which the credibility of the reports transmitted to the British Government would be effectually disproved, that it has been thought advisable to await the issue of the expected events in Spanish America rather than to confront evidence with evidence, and to discuss probabilities and conjectures. Of that decisive issue, as it appears to be, the undersigned is directed to say that it is a great satisfaction to the British Government that it had actually taken place before the intentions of the British Government towards Spanish America were announced. Those intentions therefore cannot possibly have had the slightest Influence upon the result of the war in Peru. IVith this single observation the undersigned is directed to pass over all that part of M. 'Lea's Note which turns upon the supposed incorrectness of the information on which the decision of the British Government was founded. The questions which remain to be examined are, whether in treating with deficit) governments, now established beyond the danger of any external assailment, Great Britain has violated either any general principle of international law, or any posi tive obligation tif.treaty. To begin with the latter as the most specific accusation. M. Zea brings forward repeatedly the general charge of vio lated treaties; but as he specifies only two—that of 1809 and that of 1814, it may be presumed that he relies on them alone to substantiate his charge. First as to the Treaty of 1809. That Treaty was made at the beginning of the Spanish struggle against France, and was directed wholly, and in terms not to be misapprehended, to the circumstances of the moment at which it was made. It was a Treaty of Peace putting an end to the war in which we had been since 1804 engaged with Spain. It is expressly described in the first Article as a Treaty of " Alliance during the war," in which we were engaged jointly with Spain against France. All the stipulations of the Treaty had evident reference to the de clared determination of the then ruler of France to uphold a branch of his own family upon the Throne of Spain and of the Indies ; and they undoubtedly- pledged us to Spain not to lay down our arms until that design should be defeated in Spain, and the pretension altogether abandoned as to Ame rica—a pledge which it is not, and cannot, be denied that Grezit Britain amply redeemed. But, those objects once ac complished, the stipulations of the Treaty were fulfilled, and its obligation.: necessarily expired, together with the matter to which they related. In effect, at the happy conclusion of the war in the Penin sula, and after the restoration, by British assistance, of his Catholic Majesty to the Throne of his ancestors, the Treaty of 1809 was replaced by the Treaty of 1814. And what does that Treaty contain ? First, the expression of an earnest wish on the part of his Majesty, that Spanish America may be re united to the Spanish Monarchy ; and secondly, an engage ment to prohibit British subjects from supplying the Spanish Americans with munitions of war. This engagement was in. stantly carried into effect by an Order in Council of 1814. And in furtherance of the like object, beyond the obligation of the Treaty, an Act of Parliament was passed in 1019, prohibiting the service of British subjects in the ranks of the resisting Colonies. That th© wish expressed in this Treaty was sincere, the proof is to he found not only in the measures above-men tioned, but in the repeated offers of Great Britain to mediate between Spain and her Colonies. Nor were these offers of mediation, as M. de Zea alleges, uniformly founded on the single basis of the admission by Spain of the independence of the Spanish Provinces. Years had elapsed, and many opportunities had been missed of negociating on better terms for Spain, before that basis was assumed to be the only one on which negociation could be suc cessfully opened. It was not assumed in IEI2, when our mediation was offered to the Cortes. It was not assumed in 1815, when Spain asked our media tion, but refused to state the terms to which she was willing to agree. It was not assumed in 1813, in the Conferences at Aix-la- Chapelle, in which Conferences the question of an arrangement between Spain and her Americas was for the first and last time discussed between the Great Powers of Europe. After the silence, indeed, which Spain observed as to the opinion of the Powers assisting at those Conferences, when laid before her, two things became perfectly clear ; the first, that Spain had at that time no serious intention of offering any terms such as the Spanish American Provinces were likely to accept ; the second, that any subsequent reference of the sub. ject to a Congress must be wholly fluidess, and unsatisfactory. Front that time forth, Great Britain abstained from stirring the subject of negociation with the Colonies, till, in the month of May, 1822, Spain spontaneously announced to Great Britain that she had measures in contemplation for the pacification of her Americas on a basis entirely new, which basis, however, was not explicitly described. In answer to that notification, Spain was exhorted by Great Britain to hasten, as much as possible, her negociation with the Colonies, as the course of events was evidently so rapid as not to admit of a much longer delay ; but no suggestion was even then brought forward by Great Britain, as to the adoption of the basis of independence. The first suggestion of that basis came, in fact, from the Go vernment of Spain itself in the month of November, 1822,when the British Minister at Madrid received an intimation that the Cortes meditated opening negociations with the Colonies on the basis of colonial independence ; negotiations which were in fact subsequently opened, and carried to a successful termination, with Buenos Ayres, though they were afterwards disavowed by his Catholic Majesty. It was not till after this last-mentioned communication from the Spanish Government, that Great Britain expressed the opi nion which she entertained as to the hopelessness of negotiating upon any other basis than that then first suggested by the Spa nish Government. This opinion stated (as has been said) in the first instance con. fidentially to Spain, was nearly a twelvemonth afterwards, that is to say, in the month of October, 1823, mentioned by the un dersigned in a conference with the French Ambassador in Lon don, the substance of which conference was communicated to Spain, and to the other Powers. It was repeated and enforced in the Dispatch from the undersigned to Sir Wm. A'Court, in January, 1824. Nothing therefore can be less exact than the supposition that Britain has uniformly put forward the basis of independence, as the sine qua non condition of her counsel and assistance to Spain in negotiating with her Colonies. To come now to the second charge against Great Britain, the alleged violation of general international law—Has it ever been admitted as an axiom, or ever been observed by any nation or Government, as a practical maxim, that no circumstances and no time should entitle a de facto Government to recognition ? or should entitle third Powers, who may have a deep interest in defining and establishing their relations with a defacto Govern- ment to do so ? Such a proceeding on the part of third Powers undoubt edly docs not decide the question of right against the Mother Country'. The Netherlands had thrown off the supremacy of Spain long before the end of the 16th century ; but that supremacy was not formally renounced by Spain till the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648. Portugal declared in 1640 her independence of the Spa nish Monarchy ; but it was not till 1668 that Spain by Treaty acknowledged that independence. During each of these intervals the abstract rights of Spain may be said •to have remained unextinguished. But third Powers did not in either of these instances wait the slow conviction of 'Spain, before they thought themselves war ranted to establish direct relations, and even to contract in timate alliances with the Republic of the United Nether lands, as well as with the new Monarchy of the House of Braganza. The Separation of the Spanish Colonies from Spain has been neither our work nor our wish. Events in which the British Government had no participation, decided that separation—a separation which we are still of opinion might have been avert ed if our counsels had been listened to in time. But out of that separation grew a state of things to which it was the duty of the British Government (,proportion as it became the plain and legitimate interest of the nation whose welfare is committed to its charge) to conform its measures as well as its language, not hastily and precipitately, but with due deliberation and circum- spection. To continue to call that a possession of Spain, in which all Spanish occupation and power had been actually extinguished and effaced, could render no practical service to the Mother Country ;—but it would have risked the peace of the world. For all political communities are responsible to other political communities for their conduct :—that is, they are bound to per form the ordinary international duties, and to afford redress for any violation of the rights of others by their citizens or subjects. Now either the Mother Country must have continued respon sible for acts over which it could no longer exercise the shadow of a controul ; or the inhabitants of those countries, whose inde pendent political existence was, in fact, established, but to whom the acknowledgement of that independence was denied, must have been placed in a situation in which they were either wholly irresponsible for all their actions, or were to be visited for such of those actions as might famish ground of complaint to other nations with the punisoment.due to pirates and outlaws. If the former of these alternatives, the total irresponsibility of unrecognised States, be too absurd to be maintained, anti lithe latter, the treatment of their inhabitants as pirates and outlaws, be too monstrous to be applied for an indefinitelength of time to a large portion of the habitable globe—no other chance re mained for Great Britain, or for any country having inter course with the Spanish American Provinces, but to recog nise, in due time, their political existence as States, and thus to bring them within the pale of those rights and duties which civilized nation are bound mutually to respect, and are entitled reciprocally to claim from each other. The example of the late revolution in France, and of the ultimate hapy restoration of his Majesty Louis XVIII., is pleaded by M. Zea, in illustration of the principle of unextin guishable right in a legitimate sovereign ; and of the respect to which that right is entitled from all foreig wers ; and he calls upon Great Britain, in justice to her o a consistency, to act with the same reserve towards the new States of Spanish America, which she enirloyed so much to her honour, towards revolutionary France. But can M. Zea need to be reminded, that every Power in Europe, and specifically Spain amongst the foremost, not only acknowleded the several successive Governments de facto by which the house of Bourbon was first expelled from the throne of France, and afterwards kept for near a quarter of a century out of possession of it, but contracted intimate alliances with them all ; and above all, with that which M. Let justly de scribes as the strongest of de fiwts Governments, the Govern ment of Buonaparte ; against whom, not any principle of re spect for the rights of legitimate monarchy, but his own un governable ambition, finally brought combined Europe into the field ? There is no use in endeavouring to give a species colouring to facts which are now the property of history. The undersigned is therefore compelled to add, that Great Britain herself cannot justly accept the praise which M. Zea is willing to ascribe to her in this respect, nor can she claim to be altogether exempted from the general charge of having treated with the powers of the French Revolution. It is trite, indeed, that up to the year 1798, she abstained from treating with revolutionary France long after other Powers of Europe had set her the example. But the reasons alleged in Parliament and in State P.ga'rs, for that abstinence, was the unsettled state of the French Government. And it cannot be denied that both in 1796 and 1797, Great Britain opened a ne gociation for peace with the Directory of France, a negociation, the favourable conclusion of which would have implied a recog nition of that fonts of Government—that in 1801 she made peace with the Consulate; that it in 1808 she did not conclude a Treaty with Buonaparte, Emperor of France, the uegociation was broken ofl'merely on a question of terms ; and that if from 11103 to 1814, she steadily refused to listen to any overtures from France; she did so declaredly and notoriously on account of Spain alone, whom Buonaparte pertinaciously refused to admit as party to the negociation. Nay, further it cannot be denied that even in 1814, the year in which the Bourbon Dynasty was eventually restored, peace would have been made by Great Britain with Buonaparte if he had not been unreasonable in his demands ; and Spain cannot be ignorant that even after Buonaparte was set aside, there was question among the Allies of the possible expediency of placing some other than a Bourbon on the Throne of France. The appeal, therefore, to the conduct of the Powers of Europe and even to that of Great Britain herself with respect to the French Revolution, does but recall abundant instances of the recognition of de facto Governments by Great Britain, perhaps later and more reluctaety than by others, but by Great Britain herself however reluctant, after the example set to her by the other Powers of Europe, and especially by Spain. There arc two other points in 31. Zea's note which appear to call for particular attention. 31. Zea declares that the King of Spain will never recognize the new States of South America, and that his Majesty will never cease to employ the force of arms against his rebellious subjects in that part of the world. We have neither the pretension nor the desire to controul his Catholic 3lajesty's conduct—but this declaration of 31. Zea com prises a complete justification of our conduct in having taken the opportunity which to us, seemed ripe for placing our relations with the New States of America on a definite footing. For this declaration plainly shows that the complaint against us is not merely as to the mode or the time of our advances towards those States : it shows that the dispute between us and Spain is not merely as to the question of fact, whether the internal condition of any of those States be such as to justify the entering into de finite relations with them : that it was not merely a reasonable delay for the purpose of verifying contradictory reports, and of affording opportunity for friendly negociation that was required of us : it shews that no extent of forbearance on our part would have satisfied Spain, and that, defer our advances towards the New States as long as we might, we should still have had to make them without the consent of Spain ; fur that Spain is de termined against all compromise, under any circumstances and at any time, and is resolved upon interminable war with her late Colonies in America. 31. Zea concludes with declaring that his Catholic Majesty will protest, in the most solemn manner, against the measures announced by the British Government, as violating existing Treaties, and the imprescriptible rights of the throne of Spain. Against what will Spain protest ? It has been proved that no treaties are violated by us : and we admit that no question of right is decided by our recognition of the New States of America. But if the argument on which this declaration is founded be true, it is eternal; and the offence of which we are guilty in placing our intercourse with those countries under the protec tion of Treaties is one of which no time and circumstance could in the view of Spain have mitigated the character. Having thus entered with great pain and unwillingness into the several topics of 31. Zea's Note, time Undersigned is directed, in conclusion, to express the anxious hope of his Government that a discussion now wholly without object may be allowed here to close. The Undersigned is directed to declare to the Spanish Minister, that no feeling of or even of indif ference to the interests of his Catholic Majesty has prompted the steps which his Majesty's Government has taken—that his Majesty still cherishes an anxious wish for the welfare of Spain—and that his Majesty still retains the disposition, and commands the Undersigned again to renew to his Catholic Majesty's Government the offer, to employ his Majesty's good offices for -the bringing about of any amicable arrangements which may yet be practicable, between his Catholic Majesty and the countries of America which have separated themselves from Spain.

If it was possible to add to the glory of this great man, this letter was every way calculated to do it. Himself a chief actor in the glorious achievement of the liberties of Columbia, his dis interested patriotism has taught him moderation, and his worth has inspired him with mo desty—a modesty which forbids him to see what is clear before the world—that the liberties of South America owe their existence to him.
