LONDON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 14, 184.5.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday are filled chiefly with dis-
ennions respecting the new American States. The oppo-
sit:mi journals of each extreme continue absurdly to repre-
sent the British Government as having taken advantage of
the f.nancial schemes of M. de V:I.I.CLE, in order to strike
this How at the princ;ples of Continental Europe. Every
body. however, who has attended to the course of the Bri-
tish Ministry knows, that the act of recognition is only the
consummation of the policy on which they have for years
openly proceeded with regard to the late colonies of Spain.
The French ministerial journal, the Eloile, sins much less
against truth and reason : though it speaks in terms of
strong disapprobation of the measure, it reproaches this
ccentry with no mean trickery, unworthy of its high
diplomatic character. The Flak endeavours only to
show that our policy is unwise, both commercially and
" The treaties with the new Republics," we are
reminded, " will add nothing to what England already pos-
sessed—namely, the greater part of the commerce of those
countries." Has this French jurist then discovered, that in_
ternational treaties, for the regulation of commerce and the
protection of the interests arising from the mutual inter-
course of the States, are of no avail? He admits, indeed, some-
what lower, that " enormous private interests" have ren-
dered these treaties necessary. But then he asks, " Has
rot England committed an error in thus placing private
interests above public ones ?" It is true we have colonies,
snare and larger than any Power ever before possessed.
Ireland is insidiously mentioned, hut that is au integral
part of the kingdom ; and though the Catholics, whom the
writer In the Eloile clearly in this passage has in his eye
(by no wish or instruction of theirs we hope), may be,
and indeed have taken care to make known to the world
that they are, discontented, there is as yet no standard of
revolt unfurled amongst them, nor unless their leaders be
the basest and blindest of mankind, can there be any desire
for separation amongst them. In our colonies, properly so
called, no wish to cast off our authority ban ever been
whispered since the first American war ; and the expe-
rience of that contest is enough to satisfy us, that if we had
colonies in • state of revolt, it is not in either France or
Spain that we could confide for an honourable neutrality.
I f, through oppression or mismanagement, or the decline of
cur greatness, any colony should assert its independence,
we much doubt whether the same forbearance and delicacy
would be manifested towards us which we have shown
towards Spain, during the long struggle of nearly fifteen
years, which is now about to close. The two main pillars
of our colonial dominion are, the interest the colonies them-
selves have in our protection, and the power we possess to
defend and govern them : these are securities not de-
pendent on the faith of Princes, and they will be strength-
cued by the wise and liberal measures of our Cabinet.

'V lie progress of civilization is gradually superseding the
barbarous principles which used to disgrace the intercourse
or nations. Among the expedients invented by that nar-
row-minded jealousy of foreigners, which is now banished
from all but the very lowest and most ignorant classes of the
eassvounity,: the most favourite measure of governments
was the salute of the property of aliens after their de-
cease. This inhospitable right ?teen lately abolished
