COPENHAGEN, Dec. 14.—Our exchange has
risen within a short time to 580 per cent. and
though many fortunate circumstances, among
which we will only mention the large purchases
of corn in Denmark, have doubtless concurred to
effect it, yet it is not to be denied that the active,
economical, and admirably organised administra-
tion of the finances has most essentially contri-
buted to it.
Extracts of a Letter from Madrid, from good
authority, has been lent us for insertion
" We observe with pleasure that the hostility
of some public Journals against our Government
begins to diminish. The detention of the Ame-
rican ship the Firebrand, in the Gulph of Mexico,
has, however, lately given new occasion to a ter-
rible outcry of the friends of the Insurgents, in
the American Papers. According to them, the ge-
neral cry in these Provinces is war with Spain !
Only adventurers and vagabonds, who have no-
thing to lose in a Revolutionary war, and who
think every man allowed to acquire riches and
employments, can flatter themselves with the
senseless hope of inducing the wise Senate of North
America, by such Newspaper articles, to hostilities
with Spain. The United States, rich and happy
through their Constitution, will not risk this hap-
pines for the sake of to few persons exiled from
other nations.
" The fall of the great urper has every where
banished Revolutionary principles. An open sup-
port of the Rebels in our Colonies would make
Spain, Brazil, England, France, the Netherlands,
and Dennuuk, become enemies of the United
States. Bound by the future fate of their own
Colonies, and by their friendly relations with
Spain, they cannot see with indifference such a
violation of the principles generally received. Af-
ter the entire pacification of the Tetra Firma, we
declare Carthagena in the West Indies a free port
fur attained and nem rat nations; at an earlier period
we did the same with the Ilavannali and Porto
Rico. We shall. do the same in the kingdoms
which are not yet wholly tranquillized. Thus
even commercial interest could tint lead. America
to a breach with us. Hwe declare the Celpli of
Mexico in a state of blockade, we fltelCiSC a right
which incontestibly belongs to us. At Carthagena
Meurillo found several English and American
ships generosity am! equity judged them. We
know that it is as impossible to forbid the circu-
lation of the lies and calumnies spread by the In-
surgents,” to hinder, even by the strictest laws of
the American State, partial enterptizet from be-
ing undertaken to the countries occupied by the
Insurgents."
