THE EVEJ

There can be little or no doubt that the present polity
.of Old Spain, with respect to Mexico, must lead to
separation, and that the Spanish Americans. Would
prefer in intimate connection with Great brttlio ;
but if we abandon them under our treaty with Old
Spain, it -is also evident that they must and will court
the assistance of any power that will unite with them
in resisting,' what they deem, the injustice of the Mo-
ther Country. The intercourse between North Amt•
rita and Mexico is very active and acceptable—while
the English are daily becoming more unpopular in
Spanish America, in consequence of our apparent
onjust preference of the Mother Country.
• The Spanish Americans, on learning the decision
of the Cartes respecting our offer of mediation, and
on perceiving our acquiemencein that tiecision, Win
naturally give up every expectation of proteetioi
from Great Britain, and wiltlook to and claim the aa.
sistance of America or France, or of both these powers
(now at war with England) conjointly. Mexico may
be brought again to produce 25 millions of dollar‘
while she possesses many other very valua.bleresOurces.,
It is no hard task, therefore, to anticipate the comfit.
quences of an union between so rich a possession and a'
people of such enteiprize, activity, and angry feelins
towards England as the North Americans.,
