flattering speeches from foreign Potentates. The
passage which follows cannot by strict interpre-
tation, we should hope, be extended in its mean-
ing beyond Old Spain. If it should be capable
of being applied to the now emancipated States
of South America, it would declare that the
King of Spain might hope to regain those cOun-
tries, among other means, " by the interest with
" which he would be sure to inspire his allies
an intimation of very painful import indeed.
Let us first vise the words, and thert,see what
import they will bear:—
" Las dificultades quo V. M. no puede menos de encontrar
pare la pacificacion de sus vastos dominios, no haran inns quo
aumentar el merito de haberlas superado : los medios de con-
seguirla los hallara en la prudencia de sus tnismas determine.
ciones, en las virtudcs de sus pueblos y en el interes que siempre
puede ester seguro inspirara a sus aliados ; de este mode ten.
dra V. M. la gloria de terminar la ultims de las revoluciones
poi la &mesa quo a la quo impide el Tie renuican, y per la
clemencia quo las hate olvidar."

(TRANSLATION.)

The difficulties which your Majesty cannot fail to encoun
ter in the pacification of your vast dominions, will only serve to
add to the merit of having overcome. them. The means of ob-
taining that pacification will be found in the prudence of your
own determinations, in the virtues of your people, and in the
interest which you may always be certain you will inspire in
your Allies. Thus will your Majesty have the glory of termi-
nating the last of the revolutions, by that firmness which pre-
vents their revival,' and that clemency which cal:4es them to be
forgotten."
The expression of " vast dominions," we do
not like certainly, .because it may seem to com-
prise the trans-Atlantic States; but it is not
unusual to speak of the acknowledged possessions
of a Sovereign as great—extensive—vast. It is
the language of compliment, and the magnitude
of Old Spain entitles it to any of those epithets.
Indeed,`` the difficulties which his Majesty can-
: " not fail to encounter in the pacification of
.his
" vast dembilons"—this whole expression, we
say, will not well apply to trans-Atlantic
Spain, which is already pacified, or with which,
at least, any interference of the King of Spain.
could not fail to produce the most horrible
commotion. The. term 44 pacification," there-
fore, cannot, in plain sense, mean attacking and
striving to regain the trans-Atlantic StateS. But
it is natural to speak of the pacification of a coun-
try just overrun and subdued by foreigners, as is
the case with Old Spain : to the cares of which
pacification it is now natural to suppose that the
triumphant Sovereign may apply himself ; and in
which he will, no doubt, be assisted by his allies,
the French, who positively remain behind for
that purpose. Such is the interpretation which
we are willing to draw from this important pas-
Sage. of M. Pozzo di Borgo's speech, and which,
if our wishes do not mislead us, we also think
the most natural. M. 'Pozzo di' Borgo is said to
have had many conferences with the Monk Suez.
Could not his Excellency persuade his Reverence
to retire ? It appears that - the King of France
was welt enough to hold a Court on Sunday last,
at which Prince 'l'alleyrand was present.

[Nave, Tstars.)
We this day re-publish the speech of M.
Pozzo di Borgo, the Russian Ambassador to
Spain, which we received yesterday morning by
Express, and published in our second edition. It
formed of course the chief subject of interest in
the political conversations of yesterday. The most
prominent topic was that of the South American
territories, which were evidently alluded to by
M. Pozzo di Borgo; but, after all, the terms
were so guarded and general, that little more
could be inferred from them than a wish on the
part of the Emperor .Alexander to express genii..
ments agreeable to Spanish feeling. Perhaps
it
may be considered that the re-acquisition of
South America by Spain is essential to her re-1
covery as u Naval Power, and that the Spanish
Navy may be an„ important constituent in any
great maritime confederacy hereafter, whether
directed against Great Britain, or the rising
Navy of North America. In 1703 Spain had a
Navy amounting to 79 lino of battle ships,
besides frigates, &c. and no less than 37,500
able seamen on her Naval Register. 0'

.ese by far the greater part were bred in
ler Colonial Trade ; but it is hardly neces-
sary to add, that the return of such a state
of things is not to be expected. In truth,
it is not to be desired. If Spain be un-
wisely governed, she can derive no advantage
from it ; if she be wisely governed, she will de.
rive much greater advantages by trading on fair
and liberal terms with her former Colonies. We

ave repeatedly said, that we believe the eau

eels of moderetion and good sense will prevail
in the end ; and any vague speculations on the
future power of Spain will give place to sober
views of the present welfare of all Europe.

however elevated his rank, or pure his prin-
ciples, is now safe, in SpaiD) from the dark
suspicions of the gloomy tyrant, and the circle
of fanatics and monks that surround him.
,Spain
is at this moment in a dreadful state ;
its detestable Government is bankrupt--
destitute of all credit in foreign countries,
and without a piastre in the treasury. The
Constitutional corps and the Faith banditti have
dispersed themselves over the country, and are
levying contributions, and plundering all travel-
lers. -In Gallicia the peasants, at length, were
rising in arms, and several of the Monks and
French soldiers had been sacrificed by them.
The attempts to enforce the exploded tithes,
and the arrears during the three years of the
Constitution, had incensed them in the highest
degree. The traitor, Morillo, had lost all
influence in that province, and general hatred
was now directed against him. Guebhard's
loan has utterly failetion the Exchange of Paris;
his brokers were hissed off the bourse, and it was
even decided, that. the proposed loan should not
be registered in the regular list of the different
stocks. Thus all the tyrant's efforts to raise a
ducat have failed; and to possess any hope of
doing so, he must, in despite of him, recognise
the former loans. A new instance of the free-
dom of the Press ha; just been exhibited in
Paris : the last number of the Courier Fran-
cuis, now the most independent Journal in
France, has been seized in consequence of a
lengthened article in it from M. Keratry, the
patriotic Deputy for Finisterre, on the subject of
the dissolution of the Chambers, and the intend-
ed renewal of that of the Deputies for seven
years. It is denounced as tending to bring into
hatred and contempt Louis's Government. There
s now no liberty in France ; the little that ex-
ited has gradually been destroy4d.
