[THE TIMES.]
T:te struggle in the French Chambers, it would.
seem, is not yet wholly at an end. Some hopes
are entertained from the Chantber of Peers, but
they are wholly confined to that Chamber, with
regard to a. more favourable issue than had for
same days past been,anticipated of the two great

awasures—the indemnity, and .the reduction of

interest—which go in fact to . the very root both
of.policy aitti.of.society, throughput France, such
as they, had been constituted ten ye.ars ago by
the Charter. Both parties in the .House of Peers
are hen ting/up for reinforcements. The opposi-
tion members encntirdge each other by areference
to the triumph.gained last year, and to the public
enthusiasm which it excited ; as if enthusiasm
could be worth one farthh'lg id-16110S transferred

..with China and the East Indies; • in order to sup-
port which, they had to await the arrival of the
. specie conveyed by the. galleons from Acapulco,
on the Western coast of Mexico. ;Spain furnished
nothing,and receivedfittle from thew). Now that not
Acapulco only,but.eirery other portiivSouthArne-
rica, is thrown open to their trade,their prosperity
(if • independent), must hourly increase. This
consideration farnishes.the true secret of their late
proceedings ;,and when they hear of the wise mea-
sures adopted by Great .Britain, both with regard
to the. Spanish Colonies, and also to her own, it
is to ter pre•urned that they will altogether'
abandon. their connection with Spain. There was
formerly, and perhaps still is, iu Spain, a great
trading Association, called the Royal. Philippine
Company ; . but_ it did little, or nothing, for
the real benefit of these islands. It had fac-
tories at sCatiteit and Calcutta ; and pur':.:rased
commodities _there. According to Char-
ter, the Philippine,- Company should .`-rue made
all its imports direct fro:n its own estal:.;ishrnents;
but, in fact, it used to. buy large gaantities of
goods in London, from the East India
Company ; so that, as we have alr.-atly said, there
was little veal connection between Spain and the
Philippine Islands. It must not be forgotten, that
while our policy tends to detach from the Spanish
Government nine!een millions of persons iu South
America, and three millions in the Philippine
islands, Spain, and the other Continental. Powers,
are disposed, in return, to promote the. separa.
-Lion of Ireland fr&m the British Empire. Our
wisest policy is, no doubt, to counteract those
views by a liberal and indulgent treatment of the
Irish people. Nor is itto be overlooked, that the
great nsajority of Irishinen are members of the
same communion with the South Americans.- It
would he singular, that while we maintain the
cause of liberality towards Catholics in the Wes-
tern Hemisphere, we should act on opposite
principles with relation to our own fellow-sub-
jects in a neighbouring island. The Continental
enemies of Great Britain, no doubt, anticipate
this inconsistency in our conduct, and flatter
themselves that the result will be another 1776.
