deep interest' in every act of the Govetnment of the
United States, and blushes, unconsciously, at the
very supposition that the fair, onsollied fame of the
Republic could be tarnished. America ought to be
the defender of liberty—the magnanimous isse- riot a
national justice—not the invader of others' territeets
and the destroyer-of independence. Florida is, me
doubt, a great acquisition to the United States; het
great acquisitions are not to be unfairly or unjustly
obtained. Because America is able to take Florida,
this is not a sufficient reason why It should

polaory acquiescence to foreign . power.--We
confess we see no good reason to justify these
encroachments on the part of the United Statet, foe
they are evidently hostile to the wishes of the Is..
waded.. The part which North America has taken is
the war for Liberty, and against Slavery of the
blackest hue, is not worthy of the free and lade..
pendent character of that nation. It has had the
appearance of timid pusillanimity that originated is
a far fetched jealousy of a rival Republic, and a
childish fear of offending European Legitimates. In.
terferencel—not to dishearten—to disarm and weakeo
the struggling and the oppressed,—but to lift up those
that were fallen, to beat down their oppressors, and
give energy to the spirit of liberty in all regions pant. t
ing to he free—would have been mercy, justice, every,
thing that is great and virtooes. How much blood,
hosi much misery would have been saved by i(!
What a noble and befit:ing office would the li.
beration of that boondliss Contineot base bee*
for the United State, ! a Republic that was itself
established by the generous aid of France, and
that, it would seem, had obtained a charter from
Heaven for unchaining both ti:e New and the Old
IVorld, and converting the entire Globe into one
Empire of Freedom ! The independence of South
America would have been a cause worthy the Country
of Washington and Franklin, and sot the couquest of
a petty Province, such as Florida.
It is pretty broadly intimated io the Nalionat
Infelligencer, that the Mission to the United Pro.
winces of La Plata may soon lead to a recognition of
their Independence by the American Government.—
We wish it may be so.

The recent conspiracy against the Bovneow Go.
vernment is to be made a subject of deliberation for
the approaching Congress of Sovereigns. We could
hive sormised as much sod more. These plots arecori.
venient pretences fur keeping op armies, and compell-
ing unfortunate Stales to pay for them. The Dike of
ilicomeu has drawn up a Note on the subject of
the recent conspiracy, to be submitted to the Meet-
ing of Sovereigns. We are assured of this through
the medium of communications from France err the
Dutch Papers.---The French Journals afford no
farther information on the subject of this plot,
then that the necessary legal steps are taking to
bring the conspirators to trial.—Ao open investiga.
Lion is, indeed, imperiously requisite. ft it this sort
of enquiry alone which can be either satisfactory
to the nation at large, or useful for the guidance
of the Government itself, because by this means
alone the whole troth can in any case he eli-
cited. ft seems certain that enough will appear
to demonstrate that the party concerned are only
not the worst because they are the weakest ene-
mies of the Throne and the Charter, and that
the King will see fresh reason to congratulate him•

"pernicious of all counsellor,, indiscreet friendship.
Louts continues to promenade in the privacies of the
little Park of St. Clood,and taking his airingsin an open
carriage in its neighbourhood. M. DI Ceze, the
Minister of Police, has lately been much engaged in
transacting business with his Majesty ; but upon,
what subject it is not mentioned. The Duke of
WELLINGTON arrived at Cambray on the 16th inst.
Before leasing Paris, he is said to hate laid the basis
of a reconciliation between the Courts of Madrid and
Rio Janeiro. It is still uncertain whether he will
go to England before he goes to Ais.la-Chapelle.
The Flanders Mails bring Papers from Brussels
to the ?Id instant. The great Allied Sovereigns who
propose to meet shortly in Congress at Ais-ht.
Chapelle, are, it is ,said, to appear in public only as
privets persons. The incognito of these great per-
song's is, however, not always very strictly pre- '
served. It is an ostentatious incognito which resem•
bles the modesty of the coquet--all the pains taken,
to conceal the rank some how or other tend to re. • :
veal it. Accident end the pomp of circumstances—.
the occasional revelation of a star or en order—are
always sure, if no inherent dignity should produce
the elect, to be made to dash conviction on the eyes
of the astonished beholders, that they are looking epee
sone of the great ones. The little one:, that is, the
Petty Princes, whom the great ones have robbed of
their territories, are not to be allowed to sit in
this sagest Assembly, escept, perhaps, when by
tidos of this assumed incognito, this condescend.
