PROVINCIAL JOURNALS.

[From The (Mddin) Cwye.spondent.]
There is scarcely a dooht, that if the presen
enlightened and generous confidence which pre
vails anroug the went Sovereigns of Entrope con
tionea a most beneficial anti important change it
the condition of mankind, generally, most follov
as a consequence. To hope that wars sholdt
utterly cease, and that the jarring iutetests of na,
dons should be adjusted by maxims of interna•
tioual equity only, would be rather a calculatiol
of romantic benevolence, than of experience in tht
affairs of life or of reason ; but, should the con.
federacy for the.preserval hot of the peace of Eu-
rope remain united, and should it act, in-all re-
spects, faithful to its professed end, it is.not
un-
reasonable to expect that wars must become con-
siderably less frequent that) they have been, and
the design of the Christian Gospel 'greatly pro-
moted in consequence. It is nor possible to con-
template such. consequences, without looking for-
ward, with elated confidence, to an important
amelioration in the condition of the human race.
The appeal which Spain has made to the arbitra
tioo of the united Sovereigns, affords a flue op-
Rortunity for commencing the system of pacific
adjustment in all respects. The very mention of
this Power calls up, in its natural shape and form,
the t»elancholy and critical question which is de-
pending between her and. her South American
Colonies. It is not necessary to set it forth in
formal words; it is universally known. This
question is now referred to tie Tribunal of Sove-
reigns, invested with power to enforce the awards
of their justice ; and the appellant party has, of
itself, come into Court, it must be allowed, with
clean hands.
Spain urges her cause with an equitable temper
certainly. She professes unqualified amnesty—
complete oblivion of the past—as a preliminary
step. She offers to prostrate all the obstacles
which intercepted the march of honourable ambi-
tioa among her South American subjects, and to
place them upon a civil equality with native-born
Spaniards. She promises them enlarged com-
merce ;--and, upon those undertakings, she looks
to the united power of Europe for the benefit of
her moderation, and of her voluntary atonement
for former errors. Concessions of such magni-
tude leave the revolted subjects of Spain but little
to insist upon. They originally required no more
than what they now have conceded to them—and
conceded, under the power and authority of
Europe, who will take care to guarantee the due
performatice of the conditions.
Some think that the Insurgents will plead to the
jurisdiction, if the phrase may be allowed, and
pursue the appeal to arms, which they themselves
have made. It is doubtless the misfortune of
those whom choice or necessity force to take up
arms, to become, after a time, more or less slaves
to the ambition of their leaders. A civil war
leaves, in a short pet iod, no other profession but
that of arms ; and those who rise in the struggle,
and become ascendant, very rarely practice a pa-
triotic moderation, or watch opportunities of sur-
rendering their power, as a neeessaly sacrifice to
the public welfare. A feeble, though, perhaps, a
cruel Provisional Government, is but ill calculated
to repress the ambition of military Chieftains,
with whom war•is become a trade, and plunder a
nieole of subsistence ;—a nd, for those reasons,
perhaps, the South American leaders of the 111511r-
section will be more willing to return defiance,
than to avow any accordance with the placability
and moderation of the mother country. Still, it
is hardly to be apprehended, that the great hotly
of the South American people should persist ill
staking their fate upon the issue of the Insurrec-
tion, when terms of such importance and value
are tendered for their acceptance. The probabi•
lity is, that when they find their cause referred to
a Tribunal which is able to enforce its decrees,
they. will feel the policy as well as the necessity of
submitting to its judgment—and especially as that
judgment must be in their favour, as subjects of
the Spanish Monarchy.
The appeal of the Spanish Government, and the
entertainment of it by the oohed sovereigns, have
been exclaimed against, as trenching upon prin-
ciples of liberty, which are said to be involved ill
the struggle between Spain and her Colonies.—
There is no sound reason, however, advanced for
this. There is no law forbidding the Sovereigns
of Europe to constitute themselves a loyal Ma-
gistracy, for the preservation of peace among na-
tions. It is as lawful to'preserve peace by medi-
ation and adjustment, or to restore it, when in-
fringed, by the sally metros, as by sword and fire,
and the slaughter of armies, the old resource of
Monarchs. What does it signify whether the com-
mon tranquillity be disturbed by a furious civil
war, winch spreads over so many seas and regions,
as the civil war now raging between Spain and
her Colonies does, or by an ordinary war It
peace be good, all men are bound to keep it. If
the Sovereigns of Europe coalesce to maintain it,
it matters not who the parties are, whether State
against State, or the people of the same State
against each other, the combatants must be sepa-
rated, and order restored.
The Sovereigns are peace-makers, but they are
peace-makers iu justice. Spain oppressed her
Colonies, and the Colonies, taking advantage of
her weakness, Hew to arms, and nu Potver inter-
terett, or espoused the side of either of the con-
tendiug parties. Spain relents her folmer
atul severity—she disavows, for ever, all the
planted of—she offers, hi atone-
oppression coin
ment, substantial inummities and privileges-,—and
she calls on all the rowers of Ettrope to witness
her disavowal of her old bad sy,:tetn, and the con-
cession she oilers, and to record them. The
nature of the contest becomes at mice changed,

[PRICE SEVENPENCE

and the Soveicigns of Europe now become me-
diators, and will no longer sic the genera ►race
abused.

But, say some of the speculators upon this mat-
ter, the South Americans may be able to establish
themselves as an independent State, and they
should not be prevented from doing so by the in-
terference of the Legitimates. it ►could be treat-
ing an hypothi:sis of this kind with very criminal
deference, if anarchy and rapine, and molder and
massacre, «•ere to be enduted, and if the maritime
interests of all the conin►etcial uatit►t,s of the
%vot Id were left exposed to molesta►ion and injury,
that the question may be settled—whether or not
the South Atnetieans are strong enough to suc-
ceed in their rebellion. It is not to he presumed
that all rebellions are to be successful—that the
raising tip of a• staadatd confers upon all who
fight under it the attributes politically belong in,:
to independent States—or that rebels in aims are
too sacred to be visited by the rt►ediatlou of Mo-
narchs, who finite to•preserve peace, and to render
justice. T-Ite natural justification which oppres -
sion affords, is the only one which the South
Atinericans could plead for resorting to arms ; but
the oppression is now over—the justification halt
perished—the cause is gone—the South Ameri-

cans are still subjects of the Spanish Ctown, an►l
their experiments of rebellion and piracy ►mist be
concluded. There is not a commeteial St ,te
which does not stiffer consequence of the buc-
caneering practices which are revived un►ter the
flag of the Spanish Insurgents. Is all this to he
permi:ted--is the inmult of the flags, and the rob-
bery of the properties of the subjects, of great
and powerful nations to be tamely suffered, lest
the etiquette due to rebellion should he tin-
fated, and its final succe,s by possibility cut
dangere►l ?

Ihe Sovereigns of Europe are imperatively
called upon to put a stop -to this contest—resting
their mediation, however, upon principles of jus-
tice, and resolving to support what is just, and
what is essential to the restoration of peace, ►o
the utmost of their power. It ►miv not he the
least valuable result of the confederacy of Sove-
reigns for n►aint►►ing a rene►al peace, that the in-
ternal discord of States cannot burst out into per-
nicions violence hereafter, without bring met by
their salutary interference; that the a Ipise3

power may meet a dispassionate corrective,
and rebellion have limits prescribed,- if not t,)
its wickedness altogether, at least to its ambi-
