New YORK, Dec. 10.
BY the ship London, from London and
Cowes, we have papers to the 9th, in
elusive, from London. Terrible disas
tiers had prevailed along the English
and French coasts. and upwards of one
hundred and fifty vessels are S id to have
been lost-among them is the fine Pack
ct ship Paris, Capt. Robinson, of this
port. near Cherbourg crew and forty.
passengers saved; about thirty vessels
were stranded near the same place.
LONDON, Nov. s.
Intelligence reached town from Paris
last night, that the king of France was
alarmingly i'll, occasioned by an attack
of the govt in the stomach. ,
PARIS, Nov. 4.
Letters have been received from Ma
drid, dated the Goth ult. The Duke
d'Angouleme was expected at Madrid on
the lst inst. from which he was 10 pro-.
coed, without delay of more than two
or three days on his route TO France
and it was understood that the schism
between him and Ferdinand was so great
that they would not again meet. The
French troops were rapidly withdraw
ing from all parts of the Peninsula, and
the monthly supplies of French money
to the Spanish treasury had ceased.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept 70.
Many we'll informed persons EXPECT
that the meeting of the Emperors of
Russia and Austria, at Czernowitz, will
be attended with favourable result to
the cause of the Greeks. Ii seems that
the Courts of St. Petersburg, Vienna &
London, are at last agreed on the prin-
clpie, that the Christian nations are
bound to each other, against the Mahom-
etans, and that the honour of the HOLY
Alliance, is engaged not 10 leave to the
enemies of Kings so specious motive
OF defamation, as the abandonment of
the Greeks to the fate of a sanguinary
contest.
LONDON, Nov 9.
The point Of present importance, as
regards foreign politics, is the question
OF South America and whether it snfi
GENTLY affects the immediate interests of
England, so as to induce our government
to act decisively. Upon this head, we
shall briefly state the measures, which
we believe will be pursued. The first
OF these will he, that England will not
admit the discussion of the question in
the Congress; that is to say, that her
Minister will withdraw himself in the
first instance, and viii enter a solemn
protest against any common measure.
The grounds of this protest will be, that
any aid TO Spain for this purpose, will
not be warranted by the Law of Ma
tons, but will be equivalent TO confed-
eracy for disturbing the state of posses
sion OF third Power; which Power, as
to such confederates with Spain, is eff
tectually, and in fact, independent. As
regards Spain herself the question may
remain unsettled, and therefore, open to
her own prudence, so long as any posi-
BILE chance of recovering her provinces
may exist, and so long as such time has
not passed over as TO constitute spe-
cies of political prescription. As regards
Spain, therefore, we do not dispute her
right TO attempt 10 recover her Ameri-
Can colonies in part, or in whole. But
as respects third Powers, the independ-
ence oflhese States is so strongly esab-
Iished In. fact, and has been so long acted
upon, that the question now is, whether
the commercial interests Of England, and
Europe generally, can allow a cotfeder-
acy to put down a Power, which now
exists in fact. and which notoriously pos
sesses sufficient degree ofstrength and
establishment, to exercise the functions
Of independence. Suppose thai France
should renew her claims TO the island of
Hayti, and construct general confeder-
acy of European powers to assist in re-
possessing her. AS regarded France
itself, England would doubtless make no
complaint But would England be equal
iy silent as against any confederate fleets
employed in such an object? 1t will be
urged that the, question as to South A.
merlca must proceed upon the same
principle. The nearer and higher in
terests of Spain may justify an effort up
on her part. But the confederates can
have no such interest and no such rights.
as can prevail against the common inter
est Of the civilized world TO remain at
peace, and against the right of colonies,
Gas against|thifd parties) to defend and
maintain that independent establishment,
which they have in fact accomplished.
If this remonstrance shall fail of effect,
the question then occurs-shall we 90
