REPUBLICAN ECONOMY.

The Encyclopedias Britannica states,
that the war for our independence, cos,
Great Britain los, 654,9l4i sterling, and
1858 men while the expense to the
United States was only 45O,O84l This
fact strickingly illustrates the difference
between the habits of the two countries
between republican simplicity Il regal
pomp SC parade. Our own hardy country>
men with rusty guns and in the dress of
peasantry, successfully encountered the
legions OF England equipped in glittering
armour and the paraphernalia of royalty.
The London Morning Chronicle, of
the 9th of Oct. is quite alarmed lest this
country should get foot hold in South
America, to the prejudice of British
Commerce. He speaks thus on the sub
ject:
"We cannot too often dwell on the
nnaccountable delay in recognising the
independence of the South American
States. We have every reason to believe
that this delay will be attended with very
great prejudice to some of the most va
liable interests 81 this country. While
we are hesitatipg, the United States, go
vernment with its usual dexterity, avail
itself Of the first favorable opening to
send accredited ministers and agents to
the different states, who, we may rest as
sured, will not be idle, because we might
wish them to be so. Should these agents
ask and obtain from the governments of
South America the concession of some
privileges as reward for the aiacrity
they have displayed, could we blame
either the United States or the South A
mericans? The individual sent to Chi.
ii, for Instance, is understood to be an a.
BILE negociator aud should he merely sue
coed in obtaining from the Gillian go
verDment the privilege of being placed
on the footing Of the most favored state,
the North Americans would be thereby
entitled to trade from port to port in the
manner the Peruvians are entitled to do,
and would thus in a short time, get near
ly the whole carrying trade ofthe Pacific
into their hands. 1t is not trifliDg mat
ter to see our own Skipping sacrificed in
this Way.

YOUTH OF ENGLAND.

The last number OF the (London)
"British Review" holds this language.
"Fhe dangers with which the youth
of England are suffered to be beset, from
the want Of vigor or strength somewhere,
to suppress custom and practices which
intellectually multiply the temptations to
crime, ARE so great as to allow us to hope,
as long as these continue, for little bene-
FIT from any partial plans of moral refor-
nation. 1t is disgusting truth that in
the immediate vicinity of London, there
are no less than eighty trvo fair days IN
the space Of seven months; every one
of which is day of debauchery, gamb-
ling, drunkenness, and seduction among
the common people,"
