LONDON. MONDAY, tlmicx 8, 1844.

The French papers of Friday ?cached us last night.
The most interesting portion of thesejournals is that evhich
contains extracts from Madrid papers and letters: from
the tone of the Spanish Government -Go-x/le, we arc led
to believe that some enterprize is meditated against the
rising independence of Mexico, ankthe other South Ame-
rican Colonies. l'rivatc letters state, that. his Catholic
Majesty has declined an offer made by England to medi-
ate between Spain and the Colonies, and that Russia has
engaged to render some assistance to Ferdinand in his
attempt to reconquer his American possessions ; amongst
other reports, one is, that a negotiation ie on foot, -with
the Court of Petersbnrgh, for the purchase by Spain of ,1
several ships of war, which arc to be directed against
Mexico. The Spanish Government are said to look with'
great confidence to any attempt against that fie'
province, from the powerful Royalist and Church party,
which is reported still to exist there, and from the circum-
stance of a Spenielt force continuing to maintain itself on
tie southern coast. A private letter from Medrid states that
Pie present occupation of Spain by French troops leaves
the Government a disposable force, part of which is now
marching towards the coast. From all that we can learn,
we certainly think some attempt will be made by Spain tot
recover possession of the American provinces ; but unless
'!IC Allied Powers should aid this attempt, the freedom of
the Colonies will not he endangered ; and should the mem-
hers of the Holy Alliance extend their kind offices to the
American Continent, another and a very obvious question I
will undoubtedly arise, in the consideration of which this
country and the United States will be deeply interested.
Amoagat other reasons for urging the Allies to assist the
Spanish Government in its crusade against the provinces,
toe Madrid Go :,ite tells them that their trade with South
America will be totally ruined, unless Ferdinand recovers
possession of h:e Colonies. ii2veral decrees have lately been
published at Madrid ; one imposing new taxes, and an-
ether forbidding the importation of gain, meat, or pulse,
into the Peninsula. In one of his recent decrees, the King
expresses his ietention to re-establish in his finances " the
'• hass and the methods of the ancient revenues of the
• monarchy, 'rel.. as they have been sanctioned and no-
" toralised by the lapse of time." In France the elections
almost exclusively occupy the attention of the public.

The Gazette of Madrid contains two extremely remarkable
articles, relative to the Spanish Colonies ; they are the complement
of what that official Journal has Wilier published on the subject.
