The tententS of the late Nor& American Papers
LrriFy rove, that there the same indifference does not
reign with reg:nd to tire fate-of Spanish America, as
in.,Englaid. Hints are frequently thrown out respec-
ting Vie magnitude And gains of the, tra,le. we have
been estirying on for some years, which !hew that the
Americans will also pow d every thing to prtake of
It. The estract, however, from a Philadelphia pupil.
riispcting the amount of our past trade there, and
copied into most of our own papers within these taw
days, is founded in error, and, consequently, it may
not he improper to . subjoin the following statement,
formed onthvbest mercantile inlormation,and on some
official data : _

This is, accurately as can be ascertained, the
amount of our past trade,.and double what the Ame-
rican prints suppose Mexico here 'comes in for .a
small proportion, owing to the wars ; though by far
the most populous country. Humboldt states Spa-
nish America, when subject to Spain, to have consu-
med annualiv .59# millions of dollars of European im-
ports, in that scale Buenos Ayres is only rated at
three millions, and she now consumes nine from Eng-
land alone, of which amount the port of London has
sent yearly £500,000 sterling. Sixty-four British
vessels have been seen riding triumphantly in the
River Plate at onetime, and the amount of property
belonging to our merchanti at present in that Sec-
tion alone, is not less than 1,800,000 sterling, inde-
pendent of that of British subjects resident there,
which reaches ,C 230,000 sterling more.
Humboldt state:, the yearly consumption of New
Sp.tin or Mexico to be 35 millions of dollars, yet not
more than one-sixth of the people use European
goods. What world not this be if it were open, when
the increase of Buenos Ayres has been so great ?
The best criterion of our trade to Spanish Ametica
is, however, the following fact :—ln 1805, 20 mil-
lions sterling were exported to North America alone,
and three only to the oth-r ;rats os the Western
World. In 1505, ss hen-our intercourse with the Uni-
ted States was interrupted, we shipped there only five
millions sterling, and 13 millions to Spanish America
bad West Indies; so that of the 20 millions sent to
the United States in 1805, 13 at least must have gone'
lo Spanish America. In 1809, seven millions ster-
ling were s:xported to North America, and nineteen'
to Spanish Settlements' and West Indies ; and in
1810, our total exports westward reached 28 millions.
111 the present unsettled state of that country, our
trade has been immense, as may be seen by Walton's
Expose •in the Dissentions of Spanish America ; )et
the Is lost to us the moment Spanish power is
again (di vices] there, ht ihat were Vossible ; or as
50..11 AS North A (iscricsit euterprlze gets into full play.
Is not:this a question on which British Ministers and
nielehants ought to ponder whilst it is yet time ?--
Atter we have finished oar work in Europe, is it not
time to look across the Atlantic ?

Letters from Cadiz have reached us to the Ist iost.
and we (1.1 not find that the general amnesty is any
longer talked of, which for some time had been so
confidently expected. A notion was entertained, that
the. prohib.ti .n on cotton goods would be withdrawn.
A new expedition was preparing from Cadiz t pro-
ceed to Sulith America, but. the business was not con-
ducted with much activity.

fIRREV.—CROVDOI4, JUL?
LORp La burstaliß v. LVIILEIOII.
The whole of this day was occupied in this one
cause, which was a claim of tithes of woodland in cer,
taint parishes on the borders of the Medway, between
hlatdstone and Tunbridge. It being claimed by one
party that woodlands within the Weald of Kent were
exempt trop tithe of underwood. Another question
was, how far the Weald of Kent extended ? the one
side contending, that what is called tie Red Hills
were the boundary—the other that tl.e Pilgrims Road
at the foot of the Chalk Hill, near Wrothatn, was the
boundary. This latter question was not, however,
decided, as the defendant, the claimant to the tithes,
confined his evidence to the precise spot in question,
and by the production of a number of old tenures, sur-
veys, recotds, &c. %hewed that the Church had imme-
morially been paid tithe of woodland, the spot which
was now claimed in consequence of which the de-
fendant had a verdict. This leaves the question open.
as to the exemption of other parishes, not having set-
tled the boundary line of the Weald. •
