[MOUNING CHRONICLE :I
There is: a pettiness and a spirit of vindictive-
ness about the Botirbon Government of France,
which renders it very contemptible in the eyes of
Europe. When Mr. Bowring was liberated,
after the most„persevering efforts to find matter
of orimination against him, they were forced to
declare that there was no charge to authorize his
detention. With a Police, to which every thing
is known, they could not substantiate the shadow
of nit offence. The only thing that bears the
semblance of justification for their conduct, is the
Oarm into which they were then thrown with re-
spect to the disposition of their Army. Ono would
think, then, that now, when that Army has shewn
itself as devoted an instrument for any unholy pur-
pose r.s they could have wished for, they would be
magnanimous enough to pardon M. Bowring for
their groundless fears. However forgiveness is
it seems much rarer on the part of those who
injure, them on the part of the injured. Mr.
Bowring having a most urgent call to Paris on
commercial affairs, Sir Charles Stuart applied to
M. deChateaubriand, on the '2lst of October,
for a safe conduct for him, assuring the French
Minister that his objects were purely matters of
business, and that his visit was only for a few
days. rd. de Chateaubriand did not honour Sir
Charles with an answer till the 6th instant (17
slays!)--'flat answer was as follows :
" MONSIEUR eit lIASSADEU —J'ai reeu la lettre que
votre Excellence m'a fait I'honneur de m`4crire le 21 du mois
dernier, et par laquelle elle faisait connoitre que M. Bowring
'Windt obtenir un sauf conduit pour venir passer six on butt

—The French Government are no ',doubt at
liberty to exclude whom they please from their
dominions. We do not here charge them with a
positive violation of international law towards a
British subject ; but certainly while there is a
treaty of peace and amity between the two coun-
tries, and commercial relation are very extensive,
it does not seem stretching the powers of Govern-
ment a great way to use them in this manner,
to the injury of the commercial speculations of
individuals, acting in good faith under these re

[MORNING Pow.]
French Papers to the 13th inst. reached us last
night by express. With the exception of a short
communication from Spain, announcing that Hos-
taltich and Tarragona were occupied by the
French on the same day as Barcelona, and that
a vessel was allowed to the gallant Chiefs, Mina
and Rotten, to convey them in ►self-banishment
to France, these Papers are wholly barren of
politicut intelligenoe.

We received last night Ilaniburgli Papers to
the Bth instant. I t appears that the gold
Minty discovered in the , great chain of
the .Ural mountains in Russia, are likely to be
productive. Two Members of the Commission
sent to examine their nature had returned. to
St. Petersburg!), and reported that they were
rich, particularly those on the East side of
the Ural. if these mines should be worked, of
which there can be no doubt after such a re-
port, that immense empire, whose military force
already exceeds in numbers the united armies of
all the other Powers of Europe, will also pos-
sess within itself .the means of bringing is easily
into action, .whenever caprice► or ambition may
dictate, 't'i►e poverty of the Russian finances
has eitherto saved the Continent from subjuga-
tion,; this obstacle once removed, who knows how
far, before many years, the domination of the
Czars may extend

It is justly observed that " the independence of
the Spanish Colonies irs the interest, mere or less,
of every country in Europe; and Spain herself,
whatever she may think to the contrary, will
probably not gain the least by the change."—
The reasoning is obviously founded on the ex-
ample of the United States, whose commercial
intercourse with us is so much more valuable now
than w lien they were held in colonial depend-
ence, There are, however, several points to be
considered ; and as we wish for the general good
of all nations, though our first duty h to our
own country, so we should hope that in
establishing the' independence of South Ame-
rica the errors which attended North Atne-
tken 4410'0(1CM:1: will be avoided. The
first and chief of those evils we consider to
btr-the bitter spirit of animosity which the revo.
ktionary vrar excited between the United States
and the Mother Country, and which so long per-
vetted the policy of the former, but which is now
happily much on the decline. Any fresh hosti-
'Mit-, between Spain anti her former Colonies
must be attended with similar results ; and for
this reLson, among many others, we trust the at-
'tempt will not be made. The next Pvii WOUld
be, that the South Americans should fall into the
hands of a democratical faction, who would este-
blish Governments unsuitable to the habits and
interests of the people. This consequent:At Ism
Lye think likely to be promoted by a war; and,
therefore, we trust, that hostilities between Spain
and the rising States will not be renewed.
