"PARls, Dsc.-Ths Official Gazette
of Madrid Of the 25tb ult. contains an
article in reply to tho eitraSagsht dec.
lamation OF the Jacobin Journal. of
Paris and London, upon the indepen.
dence Of the Spanish Colonies. This
article 10 10 some sort repetition Of
those which we have slteady published
on tho same subject.
This Spanish writer observes, that
when tho Rsvolution,sls Of the Seine
& Thames speak Of the independent ns-
tons Of Peru, Mexico, Cotombia, &c.
they hold the same language ss they
were desirous OF applying to the inde-
pendent nations OF Naples, Piedmont
and Spain. When respectable force
approaches to take cognizsncs Of the
places subject to these Sovereig ntiss of
Ito people, nothing 10 10 be found but a
mass Of i.otious persons VINO are dissi-
pated like smoke. 1t will be the same
in the new world. The faithful off
spring Of the mother country, the de-.
voted subjects of the Boursons. are
there a. 10 thsir European doninioas, a
vast majori.y-a fact which the future
will demonstrate.
One Of the grand arguments Of the par.
tisans OF American independence 10, that
il is founded in right, as the mother coun-
try can no longer protect IL. The Gazette
! of Madrid replies 10 this argument OF the
Journalists by the following comparisons:
according TO the principles here ad.
vanesd, irelapd might to-morrow-"l
will be a sovereign state as soon as can
testablish my Independence. From that
Instant am independent in fact, for this
simple reason, that fidelity repo:ing uron
protection, and not receiving that protec"
ton from you. am not obliged to pay :he
price OF it. Once possessed OF the pow.
ct, and shall be as independent de jurs
as de tacto.
