LONDON:
TUURSDAY, JUNE 25, 1812.

An Heligoland Mail reached town this morning;
the following is the only article of importance which
it brings :

HFLIGOL4NI), Tors 19.

We still continue completely excluded from
all intercourse with the opposite coast. We were
in hopes. that the jouraey of IlonApAwrs to the
North, where it stas to be supposed his 'alien- I
thus would be engrossed by the magnitude of the
object of his ambition in that quarter; would
hive offered a facility to a communication, equally
desired by those on the neighbouring shores as our-
selves. The system, however, Continues to be followed
up with the same unrelenting strictness, and for up-
wards of a month we have had no arrival from the
coast worth mentioning. Baron KERIILM who was
scat back to the island in a flag of trace from Den-
mark, about six weeks ago, and kept in confine-
ment here ever since, sailed on the 17th inst. with
the convoy for the Baltic, and is, it is understood,
to be landed, by his own desire, in Russia.

Intelligence has been, received from an official
quarter, that there is no truth in the story► respect-
ing BZI.LINGIIUR4T at Buenos Ayres, or of the in-
terposition of Lord STIIANGIORD in his thvonr.
Through the same channel it is understood, that.
whatever may be the exertions of the parent state,
there is not the smallest prospect of impeding the
Revolution in South America. These accounts are
further confirmed by private letters received from
Vera Cruz, in one of which, dated 11th April, it is
stated, that the Patriots in that country " are about
100,000 strong, and the KING'S army, to meet this
multitude, consists only of 25,000 men, ill pre-
pared, and badly prnsidod. The Revolutionists, to
the number of 40,000, obstruct the road between
this city and Mexico, and their principal station is
about twenty leagues from the latter."-. In wishing
success to the exertions of this people, we do no more
than express our attachment to the cause of civil and
religious liberty.

When any new or extraordinary phenomena ap.
pear in the natural world, the eager and inquisitive
efforts of science are immediately directed to investi-
gate the causes by which these appearances are pro-,
sluced, the substantial changes which they indicate,
'and the consequences which may most probably at-
tend them. It would be to the benefit of mankind,
if the changes which, from time to time, are exhi-
bited in the political world, excited the same spirit
of liberal curiosity, and the same energies of active
and enlightened research. The state of parties in
our own country may not unfrequentls, become one
of those interesting problems, which well deserve the
attention of the pl.ilosop' ic politician ; and althinigh
we have not the presumption to pretend to that cha-
racter, ) et, if the prcblem which we now submit to
public attention, and the feeble attempts which we
shall make to solve, it, serve but to instigate the ex-
ertions of more able enquirers, we shall have the
happiness to reflect, that our humble efforts have not
been altogether useless. Let us imagine ourselves
presented with the novel spectacle of an Adminis-
tration, whose leading Members had repeatedly ex-
pressed, in the strongest possible terms, their full con-
viction of the truth of certain political maxims, and of
the propriety and policy of a certain course of political
conduct—departing from that course, and abandoning
those maxims, in order to adopt the maxims and the con-
d act recommended by its Parliamentary opponents. I.At
us imagine this change to take place, under circum-
stances which positively and decidedly exclude every
pretension to the candour and liberality of acknow.
lodged conviction—which invest it with the unequi-
vocal ct6racter of a sacrifice to temporary cone,
