THREE DAYS LATER FROM LIVERPOOL.
PHrLADELpHfA, April 22.-By the arri-
val of the packet ship Montczuma, captain
Potts, in SO days from Liverpool, we have
received London papers 10 the nth, and
Liverppol to the l2th ut.
The Paris dates are not 50 late as those
received by the Cadmus--of course these
papers throw no new light on the policy of
France.
The English editors appear generally To
deprccate warbetwcen France and Spain,
aud yet most of them seem 10 think that
the efforts OF the British government TO
preserve peace should he confined to nego-
tiation. " We know Of nothing" says the
Evening Star of the 10th, " that can now
be wanting to convey 10 the ministers OF
France, the Unanimous sense which the
British people and government entertain
of the injustice and impoIiey ut their threa-
tened aggression 10 SPAIN The editor
then proceeds To tell us, that " he wishes

of Spanish Independence j; but he Trunks

of this) but for the sake of ma ntaining the
peace of Europe. His grace the duke of

the editor of this paper, by remarking at

dture, yet the people were ready to iorego
personal consideration, and undergo far
greater sacrifices, rather thau see the tri-
unph OF despotlsm over the Independence

the Courier, "his grace knew very little
what he was talking about. We are CON

whose Judgment is worth any thing, who
would affirm il TO be- the interest of Eng

IN order that Spain might consolidate her

of the thing. IL is ridiculous to talk of as

all, we must assi her not only against
! France, but against Russia, against Austria,
and against Prussia we must, IN fact, lin-
ravc the foreign policy of the country du-
ring the last ten years, and by so doing,
give TO the impending war character
which would icarfully extend its duration,
aud incidentally multiply lis mischief"-
Ii will be recollected, that the Courier has
| lately lost its official authority at the organ
OF the British government, it however, con-
tinues to sing the old song To the old tune
of Legitimacy.
The New Times-Ibid
The Liverpool Courier, n firm anti-radi-
cal, holds language somewhat different
from its London namcsake. II speaks Of
the policy of France as stuitifed, aud OF
the reaction which must necessarily be
produced, as to be dreaded--is of opinion
that folly has not been converted into wis
dom by the labored speech oiChateaubriand
aud wonders how English newspapers can
praise composition as insulting TO the
understanding from its weakness, as To
all honesty and justice from its principles. ="
Billings Liverpool Advertiser, is even
iirmer in Its expectations of the result, per
hdps because its hopes are warmer. Speak
M of the scenes which were witnessed at
the expulsion of NJ. Manuel from the cham
Der OF deputies, it says, " Such is the first
fruits of the fatal policy adopted by the
Bourbon cabinet and there is every rea-
son TO believe that these agitations are on
ly the precursors OF much more serious in
d'catlons of popa.ar discomfort. With IA
feeble and rash cabinet, a distracted legis-
lative body, IA disatfeeted people, and a
mutlnous soldicry, it requires IA very small
portion of political discernment, to pre-
dict the issue of war, undertaken I'M
