THE LONDON JOURNALS.

DAILY
EXik (lat/iron the Morning Papers, Oct. TT, 189.5.

[THE TIMES.]
We received last night the Paris Papers of
Monday. The letters from Madrid contain
rumours statements, and discussions, respecting'
the prospects of Spain, the intentions of Ferdi-
nand, the alleged negotiations with the new Re-!
publics•of America. On this last topic, it is said
that Mexico has proposed to pay, as the price!
of its independence, half the debt of Spain, and!
to admit Spanish vessels into its ports at half the
rate of duty imposed on those of other nations.
This, however, is merely stated as a rumour.--
t is added, that the propositions of Colombia
were entirely neglected, because that Republic
• axed upon no specific indemnity for its recog-
nition. The fact, no doubt, is, that Mexico
and Colombia proffered precisely the same sum
—that is, not a farthing; and that the whole
of these reports are as little to be relied upon as
the oath or the promises of Ferdinand. NVe some
time ago alluded to the temper lately evinced by
the Catholic Clergy in the kingdom of the Ne-
therlands, and the uneasy position in which their
bigotted obstinacy had placed the Government in
„•Telation to the Church. We mentioned that the
Archbishop Mechlin,_heading the other prelates,
had opposed the establishment of the new college
of Louvain, and had protested against the aboli-
tion of the provincial establishments whose place
it was intended to supply. In the Papers before
us we have the copy of a letter addressed to the
Archbishop by the Court of the Vatican, in which
the Holy Father praises the Belgic Clergy for
':their courageous protests, commands them to be
passive if the Government proceeds to the execs.
tion of its views, and mentions that he himself
,
lard addressed his Majesty of the Nether-
lands to the same elfect.- It would seem
very evident, from the sagacious under.
standing- and cautious disposition of the King,
that his Government has trenched on no religious
principle, and attempted no innovation on the
established relations between the State and the
Church. He knows the turbulent bigotry which
defeated the ill-concerted plans of the Emperor
Joseph, and he is aware that a sufficient portion
of the old leaven still remains in Belgium to fer-
ment into religious disturbances. In whatever
he has done, therefore,- he must calculate on the
general approbation of his people, though he may
be opposed by some of the tramontane Bishops.

[THE PUBLIC LIZDGEIt.I
It is easy to foresee that the Spanish Govern-
ment would soon shift its ground on the dispute
with its ei-divan! Colonies. This anticipation has
received the most ample confirmation in late ac-
counts from the Spanish capital ; and a question,
which embraced political principles and interests
of the highest order, Is now reduced to one of
simple pecuniary compensation. It is confidently
stated, that Ferdinand has wholly abandoned the
principle—that, under no circumstances, should
e legitimate Sovereign treat upon equal terms
with revolted subjects. This concession is as-
cribed to the persevering exertions of the French
Government, who, seeing in this dispute the
germs of future war, were most anxious, it is said,
to bring it to a close. It is even strongly suspect-
ed, that one of the chief motives of that Govern.
meat in forming the treaty with Hayti, was to set
au example to the Spanish Monarch. If there be
any truth in thia supposition, it must be ad-
mitted, however, that they did not neglect their
own interests, whilst they were consulting those
of their Ally ; and upon this very rock, if we are
not mistaken, will their hopes split of effecting an
amicable arrangement between Spain and her
former Colonies. They set too high a price upon
their acknowledgment of llaytian independence;
and as they have succeeded, the King of Spain
will, doubtless, try to obtain terms equally exor-
bitant. But the Governments of the New Con-
tinental States will not be found so accommodat-
ing in pecuniary matters as the President of Hayti
has shown himself ; and therefore time French
Ministry must blame themselves if their plan
should fail. A moderate pecuniary compensation
it would he perhaps wise on the part of the late
Colonies to offer, particularly as their motives
would be liable to no base suspicion ; but should
Spain insist upon more, negociations would only
teud to disappointment, and instead of consoli-
dating peace, detract from its security.
