If it be true, as has been so confidently a 4.•
serted, that FERDINAND has applied to all the
great European Powers for their assistance *.o.
enable him to re-conquer South America, 'that
fact alone will furnish a sufficient, and indeed
a full and complete justification of this
country for recognising the independence of
the New Transatlantic. States. It, will in-
deed be a direct and unequivocal acknow-
ledgment, on the part of Spain herself, that
her authority over her ci-devant colonies is de..
power is insufficient for
re-subjectingstroy e—
tht a
themher owntOber sovereignity,—and that
their independence, therefore, even in her ow;
estimation, is substantially achieved. This is pre-
cisely the conjuncture contemplated by the
English Ministry in their declarations as to the
circumstances by hich their ultimate recogni-
tion of South America' independence would
be governed. Spain has admitted her inability to
bend the Colonies again to her yoke. She does,
indeed, still assert her lost right of supremacy,
and invokes the aid of foreign Powers for its esta-
blishment. England, however, has protected
against any such aid being afforded to her. The
moment, therefore, has obviously arrived at
which this country is released from every obli-
gation of honour, and even from every consider-
ation of mere delicacy towards Spain, as respects
the course which she will henceforth adopt
towards the South American States.

Whilst the French wish it to be believed ,that

they have threatened to withdraw their Ambas-
sador and their troops from Spain, unless FERDI'
NAND complies with the demands in the Ultimatum
which is alleged to have been transmitted to him
from Paris, the accounts from Madrid itself re-
present his CATHOLIC MAJESTY to be so en-

tirely dependent upon France for support,
and to be so incapable, therefore, of resist-.

ing her dictation, as to have declared ha
resolution to apply for an additional French
force of 45,000 men for the maintenance of

his authority. Indeed, as we have previously'
remarked, it is quite impossible that the French,
Government can have seriously required any'

thing from FERDINAND that he has ventured 10
refuse, .unless the requisition has been for the
performance of something which he is abso-
lutely without the power or the means of accom-
plishing. If any such demands have been inade,
they not only are a most perfidious abuse of that
Prince whom the French have by their

ship thrown prostrate at their feet, and are
not only utterly at variance with the professed
object. for which the war against the Spanish
Constitution was undertaken, but they can onll
have been advanced with the view of reducing
the Spanish Monarch and the Spanish Monarch!
to a dilemma which would facilitate the exectl"
tion of some ulterior and dark design against
the Peninsula. If the French should withdraw
their troops, the inevitable result would be s
new convulsion and a second overthrow of des'
potism and perhaps of every vestige of royalty 111
Spain ; and as the pretended danger of a moral or
political contagion would again furnish France
with a pretext for interfering, we should soon se°
her commerce a new aggression upon her unfor-
tunate neighbour, and that, too, without re•it
