official duty to caution the Public, by pointing to the List of

' sure guide, and that no assertion of Persons assuming such
titles, and publicly admrtising them, without being sane-

dangerous cases of Strictures, Debility, and other supposed

The subject of the present warfare between

As to -attract the
,attention of all tnapkind:• To
gratify the curiosity of the. Public, we are in tt -
great measure ()Aged to insert whatever reaches
tts•on this interesting po►nt, and consequently are
coMpelled to admit indiscriminately the misrepre-
_sentations. of botJ► sides. But -we shall this day
"avail ourselves of a voidable atticle, extracted
born the last number or THE QUARTERI:Y REVIEW,
a work pre-.emineut for authentic ;information,
spotlit doctritres,.and political integrity. In. this
work the subject is treated in a masterly manner;
•.and the origin,• progress, .and: various beatings of
it displayed s ith such• xecoi acy, caudnur, and•
judgment, as cannot but highly gratify those of
Readers, if a'ny, who'may not possess such a
treasury of critieal•aCallell, learning, taste, and
Constitutional rectitude.

"•It seems quite evident that this revolution is
not the effect of partial intrigue, or of a tempo-
rary and,casual hurst of _discontent ; but that prci..;
seeding frOm causes, in their nature radical, and
certain, though gradual in their operation, it has
extended itself, without previous concert, over
the whole of that vast continent, has survived the
trials of defeat, and of civil dissensions, and, in,
all human probability, can terminate only in one
of• the following results : either in the independ-
•ence of the colonists—or in such an alteration
in the system of the Spanish Governthent, as May
induce.them to acquiesce in the future supre-.
.macy of the'mother-country. That their Obso.-
flute and unconditional subjugation is far beyond
the power.of Spain, 6n,hardly be doubfed by any
one who considers the
,present condition of that
country,
.and compares the strength, the resources
and the'conduct of theheontending parties. Wiat-
ever .may he the comparatiVe probability,of the
two results which we have stated., it urquiestion-
ably becomes this country to, adopt and to sustain
a steady litre of policy, coosi‘stent With nationa
honour, _aitd not .to be warped either by sordid
''views of interest, or by any vague notions-of uh-

discriminating philanthropy • . • •
" The mere recital of the'names that distin-
guish the Spanish. cnlonie's in America, the vast
extent of their mountains,. their rivers and
forests, and their real or fabulous riches, have in
all ages captivated the imaginations of men, and
•ituflam.ed the spirit oradrenture. This impres-
sion has been rendered more forcible by the con-
sideration, that 'rich as these favoured regions are,
in the productions of every climate, and posse,s-
ing all•the natural facilities of internal traffic, and
of foreign commerce, they have been depressed
by a system of government, not more harassing
'to the governed, than inefficient for its oWn'uar-
'yow purposes. It would have, been no creditable
symptom of the state of public feeling in Eng-
land if it had been altogether unmoved on a ques-
tion forcibly applying itself to so many just sen-
timents and lofty, prejudices, nay, if irs. tendency
had not been rather favourable than otherwise to
the cause of the Americans.—l3ut on the 'other
hand, when.it is taken into account how pone to
change is the genius of the present age, and .how
fearful are the untried chances of a struggle which
shakes society to its foundations through a con-
tinent of unexplored extent, and involves millions
of all ranks, habits, colours, and conditions, in
a bloody, desultory, and apparently interminable
warfare, we may well rejoice that the zovernment
of this country has not: suffered it.Jelf to be so far
infected by the feeling of the public as to ionient
a contest of snot a character by any assistance or
encouragement. In arguing, therefore, for. the
advantages of a strict neutrality, we must enter
an early protest against any imputations of hos-
tility to the cause of genuine freedom, or of any
passion for
,despotism and the I nquisitioli. We
Are no more. the panegyrists of legitimate autho-
rity in all times, citcumstances, and situations,
than we are the advocates of revolution in the,

abstract. We should regret. that the colohitts
were sobtkied before they have 'secured to them-

selves a change of system—the. admission of. the
descendano of Spaiiiards, natives. of America,
into offices of ,the State and of JOdicature7,the
removal of absurd and oppressiVe restrictions on
their industry, their trade,. and their priv4e rei-
joyments.—lV these concessions had been sponta-
neously offered by the mother-country at an ear-
lier petiod of the war, and .guaranteed by Eng-
land,- they would probably have, couciliated,the
colonies,.exhausted,. as they were, .by the severe
and to them unknown calamities of war, and ;!is-
gdsted and discouraged by the misconOut t.of their
leaders. If these conotssions should. be extdr‘ed
frnm Spain, as the price of future stibmission, to
Spain herself they will be prod Active oL equal or
even of greater benefits, than to the colonies.-
`‘ But the time for concession is rapidly pass-
ing away, and if it be allowed to pass,_ Spain may
expect to solve the problemAitoposed by many of
her
most intelligent- writers, whether the separa-
tion of the American Contirent trom.lier domi-
nion will ultimately impair or ensure her welfare.
It would be. as rational for the l'ope to issue his
hull in the nineteenth century, granting certain
degrees of the Pacific to the Republic of San
Marino, as it is for Spain to attempt, in the
,Cro-
%eminent of her colonies, to adhere to the maxims
of the sixteenth century. The system could not
resist the force of public opinion, thoutzh a
Charles were mi her throne, and though her
, armies were commanded by a Pizarro or at Alvu.

Itevelt in Torte, Amide& is to inistilciaate

±- the aid of an ally in such a cause, would, if
a: ally were Ett4land, be to suppose this ctinn-
y as forge,ful.of its own lea\st history as of its
mtnedi.,itv inlet c.:ts arid duties. Far better would
it be for Spain, instead of calling for our aid, to
profit our expel fence ; and_ to substitute, ere
it hd tare, t,,r efforts like those by Mach the
North American colonies were lost to this coun-
try, the -conciliating measures by which they
have been retained. , • . .

" It must further be confessed, that no, two cases
in history are so precisely parallel, as the first view
of some striking 'points ofteiemblaace induces su-
perficial observers to imagine.; and that there are
points of difference as well as of likeness between
the c:nitests of thii country with her colonies, and
that of Spain with hers in the present day, which,
though they do not destroy the warning force of
example, yet forbid- too hasty an.inference as .to
the ultimate issue of the contest: In both cases
there is a mother country struggling with her co-
lonies, in bOth cases•those:_colonies are in A Inc-,
rica. The general difficulties, therefore, of dis-
- taw. enterpr:ze and uncertain communication, of
armies to be transported, to be recruited, _and
maintained across the ocean, are in both cases the
bume in nature if nut in degree ; and the general
principles of .justice and moderation, of Christian
forhedranee, and of mutual and timely concession,
are and ought to be la both cases, as in other.
poi.sthle cases, the,same. . But when we !lave ad-
Mitered these general. similitudes, we have disposed
of nearly all the flOilitS in which the two cases are
really;mikr. The rest of their most yemaikahle
characteristics are such as widely distinguish them
from each other. Of these distinctions, while some
are more favourable to the cause of. the Colonies,
others to that of the mother-country, all.conspire
to make 4 he Case, a more difficult mid complicated
one sliaa chat which is held out to them as a pre-
cedent.. Spain, for instance, has greater. military
disadvantages in lice struggle. than this country
bad to contend against in that with the colonies
of North Americo ;-,-her greater distance from the
must valuable of her colonies ;.:---her own compa-
rative weakness ;—and the original anti inveterate

sins of her colonial system. Politically considered,
the question which she, has to decide is a more dit-
iicult one. Vie Anglo-Ankericaus, an active and
enlightened people, animated by she spirit and
information derived from the mother-country, con-'
tended,
.as.they had done in the pi eceding centn-
-TY, with_ pertinaCi9o zeal 'for a civil righf, the
grant of which, in the early part of Om contest,
Dilgut Have retoro their trantrilliiy, and pre-
. served' their allegiance. The South Americans. to
rise a legal phrase, plead the gefieral is-sue against
Spain; !bey are altogether at variance with the
mother-country, not on some single insulated
point, which grows out of their admitted rela-
tions, and might be adjus.!ed. on its own merits,
leaving those relations unchanged and Unimpaired,
but. upon the
,whole -,scherne and system 91 those
relations themselves. On the one band, therefore,
'Spain is less powerful to 'coerce ; on the other
hand she may
.reasonably be less v illing to,
give up all
.oml is -required of her :—we say
reasonably, not in the sense of approving of the
oppressive and impolitic system of trade and of
government of Spain over 'her Colonies ; not as
putting out of sight the increased spirit of intelli-
gence and information, which pervades not only
the colonies but the world, and which tenders the
colonial. system of Spain obsolete and inapplica.ble
to the present state of things ;—not as underva-
luing the successful example of the United States,
'as a caution to Spain how mud) she hazards by
a continuance of the contest ;—we mean simply
to say. that it is natural—i:m(l it is so—tor any
.country not to surrender, without a struggle; or
while it has yet the means of struggling for them,.
long established posses:Aons of immense value,
arid loog.cherished prejudices connected ‘vitit re-
collections of national power and glory: We state
this---not as what Spain ought to reel, but as what
it is natural that she should fi el; notes a laudable
motise for indefinite perseverance, but, as a prat-
tical,difficulty (such as did not exist in the case of
.this wit-pry) in the.way of unlimited concession.
if it took England some, time and some teaching .
before she veptild consent to repeal a tax—it can-
not be th6ughr sorprising that Spainshnuld hesitate
to surrender. an empire. Nor 'is it more Tvonderfnl
that this struggle should be national in Spain, than
that the American war should have been, in its
origin and printTle (as it unquestionably was), ,
popnlar in. England. •

" Independently of the evil influence Of the Spa-
nish colonial-system, and of the general tendency
of colonies to outt;row restraint, there has existed
u peculiar and immediate, cause, which might have
se‘ered the union.-between any colony aml any
muther-country, in the events of the war in Ore
Peninsula, and the Manner in which the interests
of AmeriCa were treated by the successive tempo-
rary governments of that
.kingdoni. The'autho-
rity of Spain was so relaxed, the intercourse so
rare, (luting the first years of the ivar, that the
colonies had subsided into a state of virtual intle-
pendenCe, long before they had deterniined to as-
sume it. They hod received no intelligence. front
Europe, but tote vague reports of timid or treadle-

tons retugees ; they were told that Sl►ain was
conquered and over-run by the French armies ;
they were distracted by the pretensions and Squ►ab-
bles of rival Juntas. -At length the Corte; of
Spain were assembled, and deluded the Americans

_ _ ..... _ .
with hopes of attention and relief; but when, in-
stead of any substautialieforms, they were treated
with (lull dissthations on the Rights of Man, and

are now on board. The Officers are principally
British, the Non-commissioned Officers are chiefly
Prussian, Flemiih, and French. As far the greater
Slumber of these foreigners bad held Commissions
in the several services to which they had been at,
tacked, and many were Of highly respectable fa-
milies (though, from various causes; reduced and
estranged from theirTelations), hopes had been held
otit to them that they would have Commissions, hut
they were at length told by the South American
Agents here 'that none could go as Officers who
could 'not raise a suns considerably exceeding. one
hundred pounds, but that they would be accepted
as Non-commissioned Officers, and would be en-
titled to eighty dollars each Sergeant, on the arri-
val of the ship at her place of destination, from
which, however, it was stated that deductioni
were to be made. Unable to raise the ;AM re-
quired, and being desperate in their., situations,
some of them accepted the latter eonditiou.
Others, who had the means,` provided themselves
with articles that would have •tentlered theit
voyage more comfortable than being restricted to
such rations as they expected to find on board.
About one half, raised money enoughoto purchase
a sea-bed each, and the rest were 'without
one; anti to these eighty men a part of the
ship was assigned, of a size moth -too small
for such a voyage They were from day to day
told that the ship was to sail immediately: Many
of theta had beerton board from four to five weeks,
and consequently had exhausted • the little com-
farts with which they, had provided themselves,
and had not means to fprocure a fresh supply
Their allowance was confined to three-quarters of
a pound ormeat and the same quantity of biscuit per
day, with a very moderate supply of small beer., A .
ship now lies at Gravesend, named the Britannia, ,
destined for the conveyance of the Officers, Nan.

The Morniag Chronicle, this day, has tbouight
proper to notice the article which.appeared in our
Paper of Wednesday last, importing the intended
resiination of the Duke of 17°4. The Chronicle
says, " Tue Suer positively asserted it, and- last
night the Editor states that' the.notice came to
hitnunder the Seal of Office." Our words were
an Official Seat. There is a great difference in the
two expressions. The Seal of Office maybe sup--
posed to be the Office of ,the Commander-ia-Chief,
but 'an Official Seal ni.,y belOng to many offices.
however, the fact is, that we. stated last night,
that we, had been imposed up9n, and that we were
glad to find that theiCountty was still to retain
the services of the best Cammander-in-Chief it

ever had. The Chronicle, however, chuses to be-
line that we are responsible for, the . article

in question,• and says "- THE SUN was im-
posed upon in saying that it depended upon
the issue of the arrangement in favour of Sir
H. TORREKS, by' providing for the retire-
ment of Sir H. CALVERT;" It would have
been more candid tb treaethe whole aS an impo-
sition 'to which'Newspapers are alwwys liable.
The trick was artfully practised by our Corre-
spondent, whoever he is ; sod on the.snggested
arrangements, we may my,
.that " the wish was fa-
ther to the thought," or that the Whole was the

robable result of intrigue, if flu: latently(' as a

wanton falsehood.

We h;ave again to announce the non-arrival of
Varis P4pers; Three &y§ Journals, those of
Sunday, Monday, and Tueschy last, are dile.' .

The Charleston Courier, of ,Oct. 24, states, that
ELTaiv, Esq. Commander of the United
States brig Saranac., has libelied in the -District
Court of Georgia the armed schooner-rigged boat
,Sarah, of the Spanish schooner Santa Cruiz, her
prize, in company with which she was taken on

e 4th inst. us they were entering the St. Mary's

River. The Sarah is the same boat that was
picked up hi this harbour last rwomer, was re-
fitted here by JOHN Mormisobr, and sailed from
hence for Amelia, arid from thence she proceeded
to the- coast of Coba, where the above prize was
made, together with the British. schooner Two
Brothers, from
.Nassau botud to Barracoa, which
they captured and plundered, turning the crew on
shore, and brought in company with the above
prize to the mouth of the River Sr. Mary's, when
she was also detained by the Saranac,. and has
since arrived at Savannah in charge of-a crew be-
longing to that vessel. The late, Commander. of
