LONDON:

TIIVILSDAY, AUGUST V, 1618,

The details which we insert in another part elf this
day's Paper will show, that the cease of the South
American Independents continues to be 800015101,
and that it will be no easy matter for Spain and all
her Allies to bring the self-liberated empire of the
South again under the dominion of an inbmpitable
bondage. Yet it seems from the Spanish Note to the
Allied Courts, which is admitted by the Ministerial
Journals to be authentic, and from the allusions
made to the nature of the answers to the application,
that the Foreign Powers are disposed to interfere in
the South American contest. This is to be date in
the first place under the plea of mediating between
Spain and the revolted Colonies ; but if this media-
don shall not base the effect desired by the very pa-
cific arbiters, we are given to understand that the
Allies, " as the conservators of universal peace,
will take measures to enforce such arrangements as
they may deem It espedient to propose." This
is mediating and interfering with a vengeance. But
we hope the Allies will pause and weigh well the con.
seckesuces of such a conduct on their part, before
they embroil themselves in another and a distant war,
to establish their absurd projects on the ruins of the
liberties of the South American States. Can it be that
oar Ministers, at a moment when we can scarcely be
said to have tasted the blessings of peace, ore about
to plunge us into a wanton, unnecessary, and unjust
contest, the extent and duration of which ors man can
foresee—and all to re-establish the reign of bigotry,
enmity, and terror on the emancipator, shores of South
America! If this is the serious design of the European
Courts, if the British `Cabinet is disposed, to Ptinge
irate such an enterprise, we have arrived at the reign
of infatuation indeed. Do the " interest" of huma-
nity" regain an alliance of the European Powers to
re-establish the direful reign of the Inquisition and
the arbitrary rule of the Spaoish Goverogoent on the
free provinces of South America, whose rising pro-
sperity affords the fairest prospect of profitable
and peacesi connection to industrious cations
that ever dawned upon Europe ? The interests, the
honour of Great Britain, forbid her minting in a
contest for any such objects. Yet the Courier tells
es that if the mediation of the Powers to whom the
affairs of South America will unquestionably be sob•
knitted, and of whom Great Britain is the principal,
shall fail " from the insolent or unreasonabk pre.
tensions of the Insurgents (still), the mediators will
employ means to enforce the adoption of that which
-the interests of humanity require." It will of course
.bo deemed insolent and unreasonable in the
South Americans to maintain that they are en-
titled to laws and Governments of their own
chasing, and to deny the right of Foreign Powers to
take cognizance of their affairs, or to impose upon
;them a thraldom which they have shaken off. It will
he the height of presumption for them to consider

tensions .
unreasonable at the Ali-la-Chapelle CoPgress ; "d
as the South American Provisate are not likely to
disks pretensions 'mach humbler than these, if they
condescend to acknowledge the Mediators in their
assented capacity at all, which we do not believe they i
will, the Conservatori of Universal Peace *lll bete to e i
adopt their threatened alternative, and levy " sal-
versa' war," immediately, if they Can find the means
of doing so, to pet down on the shores of the Pacific,
in the heart of Mexico, Chili, and the scenes already
so fatal to oar arms, where the streets of a free city
were stained with British blood,—the principles
which teach men to resist injustice and consider. them-
selves as born free—the property of no essumingty rant
—the system which gave birth to the Revolutioo., the
glory and prosperity of America.— TES Cettpepx
must buckle on its armour fora fearful fight if this be
the resolution of the Powers that compose it. But the
Coniervators cannot he so mad or vain as to suppose
that they can thus annihilate the fabric of American
Independence. If the insane imbecility of a Go.
vernment as unjust and insolent as it is" feeble and
despicable has forced its subjects into an attitude of
hostility to maintain the rights of nature and the in-
terests of the country they inhabit ; if that Govern-
ment will persevere in its unjust and ruinous policy,
for unobtainable objects, such a Government de-
serves not the support of European States; wisdom and
humanity would equally dictate the abandonment of its
atilance,and it would be weakneas in those whom it has
forced to take up the sword in their own defence, to
shrink from that attitude, and fail to maintain the
advantages which injustice has compelled them to
achieve. We have a better opinion of the pru-
dence of the Allied Powers, did even their finances
admit of attempting such extra- Earopean.Crusades,
than to believe that they will venture on such distant
expeditions to restore to his Catholic Majesty his.
Trans-Atlantic dominions. Whatever the Cabinet'
of Madrid may conceive of its rights or their duty,
they know that their jurisdiction does not extend
so far, and they know they would be laughed
at every where if they said it did. The juris•
diction of which his Catholic Majesty talks, it
quite a new doctrine, and is a point beyond' he ut-
most limit to which the system of public law has ever
been pushed by the most extravagant theorists. It is
a doctrine which has been carried quite far enough
already in Europe. We desiretti hear of ne more
favourable tanners being returned by European
Powers to such apptications.
