paw and happiness—that any interreition for the pur-
pose of oppressing and controuling the new Govern-
ments, which we have fully recognized, by any Euro-
_ pear Power, cannot.be viewed in any other light than
as hostility to csurselves ; and in fact, he had as much as
declared, to. Earope, that we shall resist all attempts of
the kind, and tolerate no American Moniirchy created
by her arms or influence. Neither she nor ourselves can
be at aloss to comprehend themeaning of the phrase—
.. it is only when our rights are invaded, or seriously
menaced, %lilt we resent injuries, or make preparations
for our defence
The danger, then, being thought real and urgent, it!
is to be expected that the President will submit-
platy
for rendering the country more' secure, and that COD.'
press ss ill exert energy and liberality in providing addi-
tional means of carrying the new policy into effect.—
Should-France send an armament to Mexico or Colom-
bia, it must be intercepted at once, or our resources be,
employed in some other mode to defeat its object. Na,
gociation will accomplish nothing for us. Delay, till tinfoil
countries shall have been subdued, will leave a task
greatly aggravated, or perhaps impossible. The appre-
hended rum will impend (O'er our peace and happiness.
If the Allies propose to extend their system to this
hemisphere, they will not long postpone the execution'
of their design. if Fiance has resolved openly to co-
operate with Spain in eontrouling the destiny of the new
American States, no time will be lost in dispatching ex-
pedition; for the purpose. It behoves us, therefore, to
be prompt and vigorous; to equip all Our ships; to keep
all our active force within reach of orders for imme-
diate service; to complete our fortifications and
strengthen our army ; .and, in general, to be resolved
upon the sacrifices and efforts requisite for success in an
arduous contest.
Though.we may pronounce the views of the Presi-
dent to be those of a sagacious, provident, and lofty-
minded Magistri:te—of a vigilant, wise, and intrepid
sentinel—yet if we remain supine and inert, our con-
duct will imply the lateit opinion, that he has sounded
a false or idle alarm, and pledged, unwarrantably, the
power and sentiment of the Union. It is, we know, the
idea of some politicians that he has gone too far, and
thrown down the gauntlet to the Holy Alliance rashly
and prematurely. We must trust and believe that they
are wrong ; but, doubtless, they will appear, in the
sequel, to be right, if lie and the nation should repose
upon the bold phrases. which have been uttered ; or if,
in endeavouring to put the country' in array suited to
his language, he should not find, on all sides, the most
zealous and determined concurrence.
The Holy Alliance are now quite accustomed to the
tone of defiance and heroic patriotism, followed by pu-
sillanimous submission or miserable inefficiency. Let
them not find another instance of this sad contrast, in
out case. They are not to be overawed nor stayed by
big words—they fear nothing but strong military de-
fences, stout hearts, and desperate spirits. If they have
• formed designs against the independence and liberties
of any part of America,. they will not be deterred from
essaying the execution of them, by any passage of the
President's Message. They must see us 4. making pre-
parations for our defence." We hope much &pm the in-
fluence of that paper at home, but very little from its,
influence abroad, in respect to our National safety. It
will not dissolve nor shake the leagues of Despots—
any more than the subset iption opened at New York for
the Greeks will achieve their independence, as was seri-
ously asserted at the late Meeting in that city.

This forenoon we received the Moniteur and the
Etode (Evening Paper), of Tuesday, by express. The
Etatle contains an abstract of a decree ismed try the
King of SPAIN, appointing a Junta of Commerce,
whose office is likely to be a sinecnre. An ar-
ticle from Lisbon states, that the last blow has been
given to the commerce with Brazil, by Lord COCK-,
RATE having cart ered seven vessels. The whole ship-
ping of Portur.l seorni destined to form the future
navy of Brazil, and with such a force as Lord COCII-
- ILA, he will be able to check any attempts on the
part,of the ENternon to restore that country to Portu-
gal, should he make them. The Moniteur contains
an ext..-act of a letter, said to have been written from
Rio de.janeiro, and dated the 25th November, which,
if true, gives.strimger evidence of the intentions of the
Emperor of BRAZIL to b:el:ray the cause he has sworn
to dairtain, than the accounts received by the Mail this
7norni9g, on which we have commented, or than the
intelligence given in the STAR of Saturday. • It is pro.
bable that the next Papers from the United States may

unravel the mystery.
The:Fticle from Rio gives the names of the Spanish
Mtoi„sters as they stood on the sth of November, which
atsrthiutnie as given in the STAR ofSaturday, and adds
thiitothey are all Braziljans,: • circumstance rather fa-
": ifbfiVable, •we should presumc- --itstlte independence of
