The report to which we alluded yesterday, of Spain
sending one of her Princes. to South AMerica, gains
ground. Don FRANCIS,. the youngest brother of the
KING is named, and Meiico is said to be the place
where the experiment is to be made. This Prince, who
is thirty years of age, .and married to a grand-daugh-
ter of the King of PfarLes, it said to be of a mild dis-
position; but reallYloiittle Is known of the character
of the Infantas ofillpaistf-that it is difficult to know
whether .they have.oly,shitinctive character at all.
If we were to judge of the- apathy they manifest at
the affairs at dome, and My,' sluggishly they suffered
themselves to fbllovi in the xrain of the Kiwo, whether

education is such as makes:them-I;6r unwilling to rule
with, those 4444 institutiotis„whith are essential to the
New World, however long Spain may have done with-
out them herself.

In South America, there is a doable struggle going
on—one contest is against the mother country, in which
all parties are tolerably united—the other, that of the
two parties adiocathig a Republican or a Monarchical
Government against each other. This is particularly
the case in Brazil, where the Emperor Don PEDRO has
more to dread from the Pernambucans and the other
Provinces, in favour of a Republic, than from Portugal.
In Mexico too, the. adventurer ITURBID& has still
some friends, and monarchy itself still more, though
the tyranny of that man, when in power, was calculated
to bring it into odium. Whether a Spanish Prince ;an
redeem it or not seems doubtful ; but one thing is cer-
tain, that, without an army, no part of the Continent of
South America can again be brought into subjection,
or erected into a Monarchy under a Prince of Spain,
however conciliatory such a proposal might be, or
whatever support it might receive from the Spaniards
there. But when we consider the jealousy manifested
by the United States of a Monarchy in the New World,
and the assiduity with which the Press of that country
labours to get all new States to imitate its Republican
form of Government, we confess we cannot but consi-
der the establiibing of a permanent Monarchy in South
America, however desirable, as extremely problemati-
cal; though, that a well regulated Monarchy is mote
adapted to the habits, prejudices, and circumstances,
of a large portion of the inhabitants of the New World,
we feel no hesitation in asserting.
Hamburgh Papers, to the 21st instant, reached us this
morning. Denmark, it will be seen, has followed the
Netherlands in forming a Commercial Treaty with this
Country, on a liberal basis. We trust the policy of our
Ministers, as to matters of trade, will be adopted by
other Powers. The Storthing of Norway has closed its
Session without' consenting to the alteration in the
Constitution proposed by the King. The following
