The king of SPAIN'S application to the Allied
Powers, for assistance against his rebellious Cnlo••
flies, hasaisten a rue to the Ministerial Joernalioes
who, till enlightened by his Catholic Majesty il
reasoning, appeared as if lost amidst a st•a of doubts
on the complicated question of American strain.

against Republican Insurgent', Rebels, Revolted
Colonies, and men tliat deny the divine authority of
Kings to oppress, barter, or plunder the States
over which chance or Injustice had once given

oversight in the framer* of our manifold T.isaties
to permit the 66 organs of Government" to pro-
claim, as they lately did in adverting to the on.
fortunate occurrences on the American frontier, that
Ministers had made it a point it► their Isle political
arrangements, triateer clear of all auatantees and en
gsgetnents w hich might involve es its hostilities.
when, it turtis'out by the decia,ations of the (,'ourie►
of last night, that the very act of the *scrum alliance
Of the European Sovereigns contain, a guarantee or
engagement which may plunge U 4 into a war as diets
as our Allies may call for our assiltassce. 4t Spain,"
says the Treasury Scribe, " is one of the great family
of European Sore'reigos, and a subscribing party to
the Alliance by which mutual support is guaranteed
when stanttd." liere is itiformaii.,s, to the I3ti.
fish Public, of which even the British Senate was
not aware. If such a guarantee as this was implied
in the Treaty of Alliance, witty were not both Houses
of Parliament distinctly apprized of it, when the
Treaty was submitted to their consideration ? At
the moment o hen Ministers were professing to oh.
serve the strictest neutrality between the revolted Co.
Inuits and the Mother Country, would Parliament
have sanctioned an engagement binding us to co-ope-
rate in subduing them by the force of arms ?--
" Why," says the suddenly transformed advocate of
peace into the champion of war, 66 why should
sot the Allied Sovereigns accede to the request
if Spain ?" and then he asks, " were there no
treaty, no alliance, sin guarantee, what is there that
forbids the exercise of power, to stop the calamities
of war?"—What sort of mediation and tranquillity
they are that the exercise of power are required to
effect, we can have no difficulty in guessing.— Me-
diation is smother word for insisting on the submiasinn
of the American Colonies to the yoke of legitimacy ;
but theta are many things that forbid this, which do
not seem to enter into the coot...wino of the
Treasury oracle. This Quixotic disposition to stop
the calamities of war by the ezercise of poser,
and to force the blessings of peace upon every
body but ourselves, is truly laughable. What a
comfortable prospect of Knight Errantry and ex-
pence it opens to our loyal and legitimate views
The blessings of tranquillity are every thing that is
beastiful and desirable to the rest of the world, but
nothing to as. We are not, ought not to have
momentary opportunity of enjoying them, for the
calamities of war are raging in South America. And
who is the cause of the sanguinary acts that are per.
pirating in that quarter? Who is it that is withhold•
ing the blessings of peace from the provinces of
South America? Who are they, whose mandates,
in conformity with the most unsocial and Ini-
quitous system, forbid the relations of pacific
intercourse to subsist between the Nations of
Europe and the rich Empires of South America ?
Ungenerous and sophisticating hypocrites—the
causes of the calamities ye pretend to deprecate lie
amongst yourselves—in your own barbarous and er-
hitrary system, which cannot bear to behold human
freedom and the fruits of noble exertion rising even
amidst the distant regions of South America.—
" Spain has an unquestionable right to the South
Ameeicau Provinces because she conquered and co-
lonized them." This is the reasoning put forth, not
to maintain the right of Spain to the possession of
these Colonies against the userpation of any other
Foreign Power, but to justify the attempt to keep
the Southern Continent in a perpetual state of bond.
age. If the mere act of colonization confers such a
right, and if the Allies ere resolved to enforce it,
how will the question stand between us and the
United States of America ? NAPOLEON BONAPARTE
conquered the dominions of the Congress, and might
have colonized them with other subjects, if he had
chosen to send the now insolent slaves a.packing,but his
right to retain possession of the conquered provinces
has not been so conscientiously recognized by the Holy

Yesterday was settling day at the Stork Eachange.
One defaulter to a considerable amount was men-
tioned, but the Morning Papers say they hare heard
of none. Contrary to the prophecies of the Treasury
Journals, the fonds declined. The 3 per cent.
Consols left off at 75i. It will also be seen by our
Sinck.list, that the money price this day was the

same as yesterday.
