The Statesman.
London, England, 1818-03-21 00:00:00

Penn° Cevau.os, the complaints of the American
Government are made in a strong determined tone.
The American Government demands the restitution
of the captures made under the illegal Proclamation
of Monit.r.o, and it is hinted that any demur or de.
lay in affording the satisfaction demanded will
not be very pleasant to the American Government.
The motive in submitting the line pursued by the
Government, in regard to the dispute with his Ca.
tholk Majesty, in this particular, to the House of
Representatives, is perhaps not so much for the pur-
pose of affording desirable information, as to get
the Representatives of the country yoked into the
support of the measures and the objects of the Go-
vernment towards Spain ; and in this view, if hos-
tility be the ultimate or only end of the jarring cor-
respondence with the Spanish Court and its agents, the
American Esecuti we are not likely to be disappointed.
The voice of the People of the United States is de.
cidedly in favour of the struggling Patriots, and every
thing that transpires contains promise of success to
the Colonies.

From South America we are furnished with several
interesting articles. The Commercial Advertiser of
the 17th of February contains the following:—
" Captain Lairs, of the brig Franklin, in 35 days
from St. Martha, informs es that the Patriots were
caryying all before them to tbi windward. About
the 26th January, the Patriot troops, four or xis
thousand strong, were within a day's march of the
city of Santa Fe, which was garrisoned by only
about 200 Royalists, and they in a sickly state.-
4bout the same time, a deet of tea sill aloe to the
mouth of the harbour of St. Martha, and then stood
to the westward for Centimetre, for the purpose, as
was supposed, of blocking that pert."
The Meeting which is to be held is Palace-yard
ea Monday, has excited a fearful expectation in the
minds of the corruptionists. They would fain local-
cate the preposterous idea that the,,Majorities who
passed the Suspension and Indemnity Bilk were ibit
organs of the nation. They .the of the oa-,
tional sentiment The supporters of theknost co sel,
anklet, and arbitrary imprisonments that modern
times base witnessed, including even the distructell:
period of the French Revolution, can never buvirep.

be taken u a transcript of the public mind, the
Medlos ea Monday will in all probability show.—

several of the arrangements agreed upon by the Con.
greqs of Vienna bad not yet been carried into effect.
King Louis now appears so much occupied either
with business, the Mass, or the table, that he receives
the Minister for Foreign Affairs at nine at night. It
would 'seem that the negotiations with the Doke of
WELLINGTON ON pressed, with a serious intention
to bring them to a speedy conclusion. An opinion
that their tendency is lenient t• France, is in all pro-
bability the cause of the progressive rise of French
Stocks, which has been going on for several weeks.
The Five per Cents. are now at 65 fr. SO c. ex. din.
a price equivalentlo 68 fr. 30c. with the diiridend.
The Prussian claims were those which threatened
the French Treasury most; perhaps they have re-
lased a little of late.

This political impostor (for I call every man an
impostor who does trot write the sentiments of his

parts of the above celebrated work; which remiinle
me of an excellent observation of STERNE, who say.,
that "imposture it all dissonance, let what master so-
