In wresting from England every vestige of

influence in Europe. From the irresistible
farcel of these considerations, more than one
. the Morning Papers of to-day, as will be seen
uY our extracts from the London Journals, are
of
°Pinion with us, that, if a war break out, it
dill be next to impossible that Great Britain
310/11d remain an inactive spectator of the
Fruggle. If we suffer Spain to be subjugated by
'ranee (says one of them), it will only be that we
aY afterwards be compelled to make the most
eXtensive sacrifices for her emancipation from
thraldom. If Spain be attacked, we must,
so,
ner or latter, and, therefore, the sooner the
better—interpose with all our strength, to pre-
-I"it, her from becoming in any manner de-
pendent -upon -aim the Government of France•. The
last
• act of the Congress of Verona, in sanction-..
tUg a Spanish .invasion, not only without the
I:)ucttrrence, but in . opposition to the de-
clared wishes and the remonstrances, of Eng-
-andy proves more than ever the necessity of
Preserving some portion of the Continent
free from the controlling dictum of the Grand
Allies. Those very Powers which have now
determined on attacking Spain, in spite of
13.1.1 r remonstrances, may, after Spain, and con-
:equently Portugal, have been bent to their

str.

(z`l'at they cannot do notc,)---in spite of our
l'or4er,—on shutting us out from the Continent,
41tozether,—on closing every port against our
°lrllnerce-, and on preparing the certain means
°f
effecting the downfal of that unrivalled Em-
Aire, whose greatness can never cease to be an
viect of envy to surrounding-Governments ! It
11 Of' immeasurable importance to this country,
geeing that the Continental Allies act independ-
ently Of her, that a section of the Continent
411°Iild manifest a resolution to act independ-
ently of, and even in opposition to, them .1—
..'4ngland will be fatally blind to her own best
interests if she do not now, while it is in her
Power, enable the resolution so manifested by

Spain to maintain her independence, to be suc-
cessfully excited. So long as Great Britain stands
I'l the relation of a Protector to the Peninsula,
II:long will her influence on the Continent be un-
l'Qken ! But if, from misplaced confidence, or
14" timid Councils, she suffer the Peninsula,
Ike every other part of the Continent, to be
fillbjected to the uncoutroulable direction of those

leives obliged to consult her, she may bid an
eternal farewell to her ancient grandeur.

(From the Royal Gazette of the 19th October.)

Colombia Gazettes have been received here, and the 'follow-
!'no communication to Spaniards at present residing in Colonies
ltlbiect to the King of Spain has been translated:—

• `` The Government, in order to.preserve the tranquillity of
the Republic, has resolved not to permit an entrance into the
territories of Colombia to the Emigrants of those Provinces
that have remained in any colonies faithful to the cause of the
assisting the enemies of independence, and despising
the favour of different amnesties published. I hope that your
''xcellency, through the medium of necessary Authorities, will
Watch most strictly into the fulfilment of this Ordonance, which
alone Will exclude those Emigrants spoken of in the 7th Article
'5l the Law of the Ist October, the 11th year of our Inde-
pendence. If the. Spanish will yield on their part their preten-
-110113, that of the Republic will reform this Ordonance.

M. GIFFORD.—We feel great pleasure in

an ornament to our Literature, but a solid
