the ildlcule We Stall ulnels 20, tnc seh-
rcproach we shall feel, if TIE British min
listers shall be found Ia have fOrestallrd,
by secret negotiation, all the advantages
of an exclusive commercial treaty with
South America. That she will do it as
soon as, by proper management OF the ca
binets of Europe, che tan venture it with
out risk of falling out with them, is Ger.
tain. That she has already done much
towards it, appears highly probable from
the i'll disguised manner in which the a.
gents Of the Patriots are c'andestinely
accommodating in Great Britain, and draw
ing from that country, abundance OF the
sinews of war-arms, ammunition, men
and officers. No man, who has Informed
himself Of the inevitable and prompt exc
cution Of ministerial power in England,
when aud where it chuses TO ACT, will
hesitate to say that not twenty men
could prepare to get to the Patriots from
England without government being i'm
mediately apprised of it; and yet men
do 60, and are enlisted for The purpose in
several Of the seaports Of England; and
we hope that multitudes will be every day
added to the number.
As to mourning the hazard Of war, We
ask with whom such an event can reason
ably be expected to take place. Assured
ly with none Of the powers of Europe but
Spain; aud if we have not had provoca-
ton enough to go to war with her, we
must have di,mounted forever and turn
ed to gra,s our war horse with ven
geance, and prepared ourselves to mount
our dapple and tarn OUT Mambginu's he'll
met iato repository for curds, in imi:a.
ton o! Sancho Panca.
Let Us, for a moment, imagine the Pa
triots and their cause suppressed, aud
the de,pot Of Spain master in full power
% South America. In the course OF five
years his dominion would, with ordinary
management, be higher and mere ire
sistble than ever. Enriched by tie
mines of that country, his military and
naval means will swell to size sufficient
to enable him, if not to make war with
ultimate success, at least to be an ever
lasting serious annoyance to the United
States. A large share Of the population
Of South America will be gradually drawn
in arms to those parts which lie next our
frontier, and a system Of vexatious hes
tili,y, worse than bold war, will con-
tinuslly hang like slow fever upon The
finest parts 81 our country.
We shall then wish, bat wish in vain,
that we had acted in time. We say in
vain, because il this occasion be let TO pass
unimproved.-if the Patriots are o"ee
subduch, the cause Of liberty will not
for centuries be able TO raise its head on
that continent.
