The French Papers of Sunday and Monday have.
reached us. The Journal des Debits of the former
day, has a long and-well-written article on the recogni-
tion of the independence of Sr:klub America. After
tracing the progress of the separation from Spain from
its commencement, the writer truly asserts that " the

independence of South America is not founded upon
molutionary spirit, but on the contrary, it was pro-
voked by a legitimiate resistance to usurpation, and
afterwards continued by the refusal of the -ancient
authority to give any guarantee to the people, whom
an event had placed under new institutions."
Such is clearly the situation of the South American
States; and if the war in which they have engaged has
been sometimes carried on with a ferocity disgraceful
'to humanity, it ii to be recollected that it was the
Spaniards who first set the example. The Journal des
Debate next notices the policy which England has
adopted, in relation to Spain and-her Colooies,. Eng-
land," says the writer* 41 representied ,to the Cabinet of
Madrid thepecessity and utility of treating with nations
not actually in a, state of rebellion. Spain refnied this
wise counsel. England then-declared herself neutral ;
she denied to both the belligerent parties the power of
recruiting or making hostile preparations upon British
soil. This was an injurious denial to the Americans; she
renewed.her offers of mediation; they are oncemm e re-
fused. She announces that she will wait some months,
to give Spain time to arrange her affairs. She has
waited a year ; her dutiei to Europe are fulfilled ;'
but England has also duties to perform towards the
Americans, which, with the consent of the Royalist
Regency of Spain, she supported in 1810 against the
efforts of the partisans of Justus. She has also duties
towards her own subjects, to whom, at the period above
mentioned,she gave encouragement to furnish arms and
ammunitiodto all the subjects risen against the Usurper.
The consequence of these connexions has been the em•
ploy ment of great English capital in A tnericaus commerce
—England has fulfilled this double duty in regulating,
by commercial treaties, her existing relations with
America, and she cannot conclude a treaty with a State
without acknowledging the fact of its independent ex-
istence. The interest of England, as a free, industrious,
and commercial nation, is comprised in these words—
liberty, civil, religious, and commercial, throughout
the entire world."

These is a spirit of liberality as well as justice in these
remarks, which is not always met with in the French
Journals, when England is the subject of their oblerva-
tions. Thus far we agree with the writer in the Journal
des Debate; not so when he comes to 'speak of France;
for without questioning the policy of France attempting
to erect every South American State into a Monarchy,
with a Bourbon Prince at its head, we may (ably ques-
ties its practicability at any period, and, if accomplished,
feel convinced that the thrones would not have been
permanent. The jealousy of the United States of North
America, of a Monarchy near them, would have been fatal
to such an attempt; and we have only to look'at the
uneasiness manifested in those States at the ephemera:
empire of Irunarns in Mexico, and the existing one in
Brazil, to be convinced that the monarchical principle
will always rank the Government and people of the
United States as its enemies is► the New World.
The Journal des Debras again blames France for not
fulfilling Net duties, and assuring her interests in the
New World, which is attributed to her ignorance of our
colonial system, and a disbelief that we should provoke
a revolt of our own' polonies by recognizing the inde-
pendence of others. The writer then proceeds to shew
the difference between the British Colonies and the
South American States. "India is au empire held by
military occupation, where there are 100,000 English
and foreigners is the service of the Company. Canada
is a free country, governed by its Parliament. Jamaica
has its two Chambers; everywhere, except perhaps at
the Cape, English policy has calculated upon the insti-
tutions and eves the illusions which gratify the moral
wants of the inhabitants of these distant possessions:
How, then, can these colonies be compared with the
Spanish Americas? The latter are real nations, which
cannot be governed as colonies; their emancipation,
therefore, will not have the least influence upon the
inhabitants of the English Colonies."

The other French Papers contain Nub news of any
interest. The official part of the Mouton, of Sunday,
January 16, contains the promulgation of the law re-
specting the Civil List, its adopted by the two Chain-
ben. Also two Royal Ordonnsusces; the first relative
to the contract made by K Si NTORA for finishing the
canals, called that tithe Disks of Aegouleme, and that
of the Ardennes; the snood, relative to a lead mine
caisesay at Cbasalwisafte.

The Carrier Frew& tasks of plots, intripes, and
conspiracies is Lisbon, and thin gravely assures us,
that s the pin *deb the Sok and Jasaiticid

gagement between BOLIVAR and CANTERAC in the
plains of Jauja, in which BOLIVAR was completely suc-
cessful. CANTRRAO93 loss is stated at 6,200 men, and
BOLIVAR'S at 4,000, and that the latter was in full march
towards Cusco. No dates are given, and it is supposed
there is some exaggeration in the numbers lost on
both bides.

The AURORA frigate is said to have sailed from Val-
paraiso for England., The letter in which the action be-
tweets CANTEItAC and BOLIVAR is related, was written
by a partner
.in the house of Dtxox, MONTGOMERY,
and Co. of Buenos Ayres, to their correspondent in
Liverpool. It is added, in another letter, that when the
news of the victory reached Lima, the Spanish troops
which were- in that city immediately retired to the
fortress of Callao, leaving the rabble committing all
manner of depredations, until the Captain of his
Majesty's ship CAMBRIDGE landed part a his crew,
which had the desired effect of quelling the rioters,
and protecting the lives and properties of the respect-
able citizens.

It is said that our Government has received dispatches
from Holland, announcing that the King of the Ns-
THEaLANDS has determined upon the recognition of
Mexico and the South American States, and upon
opening a commerce with them for his subjects., Let-
ters are also said to have been received from our Am-
bassador at Paris, which indicate that even the French
Government feels a similar inclination ; and that M.
de VILLELE has addressed a note to (the Ministers of)
FERDINAND, on the object of our recognition, of the
trans-Atlantic States, conjuring his MAJESTY to take
in good part a measure which could no longer be de-
layed; and not to irritate by any expression of a nuga-
tory dissatisfaction, or to waste any efforts in endeavour-
ing to engage any other European Powers to induce
England to change her deter mination.
We copy the above from the Times of this morning,
but we learn that Government has not received any in-
timation of the sort, either from Fr once or Holland.

Philadelphia Papers to the 23J ult. have reached us.
The following estract from a letter written on board
the frigate Protector, in the Bay of Callao, dated 17th
July, contains an account of a gallant affair, in the de•
)truction of several vessels :

sg On the 9th Joly, Admiral Guise dispatched Capt.
Robertson, accompanied by Lieutenant Sulman, of
his vessel, with one hunched and twenty-five men,
in nine boats, to take or destroy as many of the enemy's
vessels as were in Callao; at his entrance he was opposed
by more than 1000 soldiers and marines in the vessels,
and 1500 artillerymen, who manned the batteries ofi
the Castle, and kept up a tremendous fire on our men.
Notwithstanding, they effected the object of their enter-
prise, by detroying and taking the following vessels: the
President, 20 guns, brunt ; Juanna Gordon, flag-ship
taken; Perla, formerly ofChile,taken ;a brigantine; name
unknown, taken ; a large vessel, Dame unknown,
burnt. The Protector, the Congress, and the Ma-
cedonia, were employed in diverting the attention
of the batteries; but all the fire of the latter was
directed towards the boats and men charged with the
destruction of the vessels."
