TO CORRESPONDENT.
W.. will inquire to-day personally respecting the correctness of
thtlice report we published on %I ednesday, from Lambeth-street
*Wee. If it should tura out that the statement we were induced
to contradict is true. the party shall suffer signally for his impudent
attempt to deceive us.

gur but contemptuously of the wisdom that guides the
councils of the Golden konarch. Our Indian army is
most anxious to meet the enemy in the field ; and we
are glad td find that none partake wore strorgly of this
feeling than our native troops.

The advice' received from Paris in the course of yester-
day confirm the report of an intended Congress of Sove-
reigns at Milan, which was mentioned in the important
intelligence from Madrid we exclusively published in the
morning. I'Ve have repeatedly expressed our persuasion,
that acme attempt will be made on the independence of
the new American States by the Holy Alliance, if the
pecuniary means for fitting out an expedition can be
raised; and we have not hesitated to declare our utter
distrust of the pacific professions made by the French
Government. For these opinions we have stated our
reasons distinctly, and we have no doubt satisfactorily, to
our readers. Within these few days several facts have
transpired, which clearly sliew that the project of recover-
ing the Spanish colonies in America is in a train of pre-
paration. The new Spanish loan will, we dare say, in
some shape or other, be brought into the market. Ferdi-
nand will promise any terms to his new creditors; and
as the contractors will take care, with their knowledge
of the character of the transaction, to make a safe bar
gain for themselves, they will most likely continue to
sell their bad debt at a large profit. The contractors
for the Poyais loan lost nothing by issuing the bonds
of MacGregor, though every sane man in England
foresaw that neither principal nor interest could ever be
paid. The Spanish Government, therefore, do not miscal-
; culate, when, relying on the proceeds of their new loan,
they send out agents to buy up vessels for their American
armada. None of our leading capitalists, we firmly believe.
will take any share in this disgraceful fraud on the British
public; but there are needy and dishonest adventurers
enough, who will be tempted to undertake a speculation
by which they may, in case of success, make an immense
sum, while, in case of failure, they have neither fame nor
fortune to lose. As soon as this loan shall be negociated,

the next step will most probably be, to hold the Congress,
which can have no object but the subjugation of America.
There is no other question of sufficient importance to call
together the members of the Holy Alliance. The Gi _ek
contest is yet undecided, and some years hence it may re-
main so ; at least the war between the Greeks and the
Turks may be continued. Whatever professions France
may have made as to its policy in regard of Spanish Ame-
rica, the Congress will annul them. As a single mem-
kr, France must submit to the decision of the majority,
and we know that the other members are all avowedly and
deeply hostile to the independence of America. Mean-
while France, by professing a liberal feeling, gains whatever
information may be useful when the violence is to be carried
into effect. M. Hurtado is invited to Paris, and M. Samuel
is sent to Mexico. We observe, by the by, that the
Journal des Debats alludes to the mission of this person
In a somewhat mysterious manner. M. de Chateaubriand
remarks, that M. Samuel is sent to Mexico only by the Go-
vernor of Martinique, and not by the French Government.
The word of M. de Chateaubriand is important as to this
affair, as be must have been acquainted, while a Minister,
with the real design of sending out this spy. Throwing
aside all confidence in the declarations of the French Go-
vernment, and bearing steadily in mind the instructive his-
tory of the cordon sanitaire, we wish our countrymen to
watch the conduct of the Allies, and of France particu-
larly, with regard to South America. A great blow is me-
ditated. Every fact tends to that conclusion. Let us be
on the alert to protect our interests in the forthcoming
struggle.
