[THE TIMES.]
The-news which we have this day to commu-
nicate is of considerable importance. Our Go-
vernment has received dispatches from Holland,
announcing that the King of that country—
whether from the suggestion of his own mind, or
in concert with us, or in pursuance of our ex-
ample previously intimated, we know not, but—
that the King of that country has determined also
upon the recognition of Mexico and the South
American States, and of opening a commerce
with them for his Dutch subjects. Nor is this
all; letters are also said to have been received
from our Ambassador at Paris, which indicate
that even the French Government feels a similar
inclination ; and that M. Villele has addressed a
note to (tile Ministers of) Ferdinand on the sub-
ject of our recognition of the trans-Atlantic
States, conjuring his Majesty to take in good
part a measure which could no longer be delayed,
and not to irritate by any expression of a nuga-
to-ry dissatisfaction, or to waste any efforts in en-
deavouring to engage any other European Powers
to induce England to change her determination.
If all this be true, as me have no doubt is the
ease with the first part of it—the adhesion of the
Dutch—probably our recognition of the indepen-
dence of the new States may not be so valorous
an act as we had at first imagined ; but that the
way to it may have been paved by several pre-
vious discussions and explanations with those who
had no right to demand from us an account of our
conduct. However, discretion is still the better
part of valour ; and if the act of recognition has
been performed by us without giving offence on
the one hand, and without any humiliation of our
own dignity on the other, so much the better.—
The news also from South America is gratifying.
By the Flora, arrived at Liverpool, letters have
been received from Buenos Ayres, dated Novem-
ber the 14th, being six days later than the
packet. They state that accounts had just been
received from Chile, of a desperate engagement
between Bolivar and Cantarac in the plains of
fauja (but no dates are given), in which Bolivar
was completely successful. Cantarnc's loss is
stated at 6,200 men, and Bolivar's at 4,000, and
that the latter was in full march towards Cusco.
It is supposed that there is some exaggeration in
the numbers lost on both sides. The dates by
the Flora from Valparaiso are to the 14th of Oc-
tober; the previous accounts from Chile did not
extend later in date than the end of September.
—The Aurora frigate is said to have sailed from
Valparaiso for England. The letter in which
the action between Cantarac and Bolivar is re-
lated, was written by a partner in the house of
Dixon, Montgomery, and Co., of Buenos Ayres,
to their correspondent in Liverpool. It is added
in another letter, that when the news of the vic-
tory reached Lima, the Spanish troops which
were in that city immediately retired to the for-
tress of Callao, leaving the rabble committing all
manner of depredations, until the Captain of his
Majesty's ship Cambridge landed part of his
crew, which had the desired effect of quelling the
rioters, and protecting the lit es and properties of
the respectable citizens.

[Beinsll PR ESlc]
It appears from the letters of our Paris Cor-
;espondent, that the projet de lot: for awarding a
compensation to the emigrants is pregnant with
difficulties, which M. de Villele, fertile as he is
in resources, seems ill able to cope with. We do
not wonder at this : such a measure, at this crisis
of the affairs of France, is not only most
jaidged, hut is unwarranted by any principle
either of justice or expediency.. It was the duty
of these Royalists, at the breaking out of the
Revolution, to have applied all the influence
of their ptrsonal - t.ituation to sustain the
cause of their Sovereign and their country ; in-
stead of which, they fled from the scene of
conflict, and abandoned both to their fate. It
was the opinion of those best versed in the affairs
of that convulsed period, that if the army which
might have been raised by the Royalist party, if
the French Noblemen had remained in the coun-
try, it would have been more than sufficient to
have subdued the Republican insurgents, and to
have kept Louis X VI. on his throne. If they
had remained in the country, they would have
kept in check that insurrectionary spirit which
grew ferocious beyond controul, when those who
should have fought against it to the last were the
first to fly before it. The Royalist forces raised
at different times by some high spirited individuals,
in Poitou, in Brittany, and in Anjou, sufficiently
showed what might have been done, had the
Nobles, whose selfish and miscalculating policy
led them to emigrate, been governed by
manlier feelings, and leagued thene,elves. as
they might and ought to have done, to the fate
and fortunes of the monarchy. No body of
Men ever
,put forward a claim to indemnity with
less title to have it granted. Messrs. de Villele
and de Corbieres have contrived, by means of
bribery, chicane, and intrigue, to secure a majo-
rity of the Deputies; but in what will this effec-
tive alliance between the Ministry and the emi-
grants end ? They have already introduced all
the evils of faction into the Government. M.
de Villele, though without any great powers of
mind, is not wanting in sagacity, and has a fair
share of foresight; he is well aware that the great
body of proprietors will not listen to any talk
of restitution ; he feels the weight of their
power to be very heavy in the scale against
him, and that the instant his movements indi-
cate any thing like a determined hostility, lie
will be found too weak to defend himself either
by stratagem or force, and his fall from power is
certain. Among those very emigrants who so
importunately prefer their claims of compensa-
tion, there are a considerable number now in
France, who, having served in foreign corps,
raised in England, and employed by us during
the revolutionary war, are, at this moment, re-
ceiving. balf-pay from our Government, as Lieu-
tenants and Capthius; while, as Colonels anti
fdareschals de Camp, they are receiving full pay
