IltTiArT OP .1 LiTTER FROM LAUCIRA, MARCH 3.

s' We have accounts teat the lad-ad chrief.o%

31r. Clay seems disposed to try the question ot
knowlellging the independrace of South Amerit%
again ; this he doe•, by the motion to make prorisitoi
fur the out-lit of the Minister which the frrshirat ut
the United States may deem it neossary to •end to
one or more of the liovernnu•nt< ut Numb America.
We presume that the time is 1)..1 far distant when all
the powers of Europe will juin in such an aclinow-

The discussion of Fritlay last has terminated as we
anticipated. 3lr. limounnast's object has been (le-
(sated, but the et.untry has obtained as insight into
the character and disposition of the new Parliament.
'That insight, we an: happy to ray, is not calculated to
excite either despondency or ziarin. Ministers have
triumphed, it is true, but under cLcunistances whit h
considerably reduce the inivurtanee of their sicturv.
there are cases when to diminish and neutralize the
advantages whit h an enemy rifest inevitably ;min

that they were hopeless. On the side of Gtveetmitt.%
therefore, there was an anxious wish to display ,a,li
a strength of nnuthers as would at once annihilate all
idea of successful opposition, and strike with palsy the
energy and patriotism of their antagonists.
