have every reason tn believe that the plans

nature, as not only 10 remove from the New
States all apprenticeship of external danger {;
but also Ia afford their respective Govern
ments considerable, although indirect, aid in
the grand work of consolidat,0n-a service
We ourselves consider infinitely more imnor-
tant than the mere ceremony of formal re-
cogni'ion in the diplomatic way, and without
which, the good effects of the latter might
| possibly be lost.
| On the highest possible authority we NOW
proceed 10 state, that the overtures and PRO 70
positions respecting the recognition Of South
America, tn which Mr.. Canning alluded the
| other night in the House, were made by Great
Britain direct 10 Spain, and in terms so strong
and explicit, that they were properly attend
I'd 10 the moment they reached Madrid In
consequences the Duke San Carlos at present
| the Ambassador nf Spain at the Court of
France, was appointed to a special mission o
| London, and the necessary credits and funds
| for carrying into effect this special mission
had been forwarded To him from Madrid when
the last accounts came away. The choice of
the individual may also in some measure be
considered favorable to the issue of the i'm
poriant trust confded to him. The Duke de-
San Carlos, is a native OfSouth America and
| although at the time he was the ambassador
| of desputic 1ing, and resided in the British
metropolis, he labored hard to rountpract the
Independence of his native land, and often re
sorted to means both impolitic and uniustifia-
BILE, we hope he has learnt some bpra!iiy in
the school Of adrrrsiiv in which he has since
been placed, and that the pledges he gave
when the revolution broke ont in 1920, were
not insincare. No man can be more sensible
than he is ofthe folly of further sacrifices on
the part of Spain for the attainment of an
object long since placed beyond her reach.
and as the basis on which he is now to act is
already agreed on, and all the preliminary ne
gnilations over, we have every reason To anti
cipate a speedy AMI successful issue.
No doubt a stipulation for the payment OF
a sum ofHOney will form part ofihe nego-
ciati0n, and in this most probably the British
Government will deem it expedent to coon
crate, in order that every obstacle NAV be re-
moved, and an important object secured, one 10
which the wishes Of Minister'S have uniformly
been directed, and this is, the recognition on
the part ofSpain, as being the most effrctual of
all others, and that which would prev ent flu
ture jealouses and chickering's among the corti-
mental powers. We frel indeed perfectly con-
fdent that Ministers have acted wise and
liberal part in this affair, and that upon it
there is most clear understanding with
France, from whence an Agent. with very full
powers, has Just been dispatched TO one of the
sections of South America. The whole of
the Allied Powers since they heard the Ian
guage in which England has expressed her
self have deemed it advisable not TO risk the
tranquility ef Europe. They even seem in
clined to believe, that the opening Of an inn
mense Continent, extending from the Missis-
sppi TO Cape Horn, will form the basis of
new commercial system, highly interesting 10
all (; and that those States will be- fortunate
which are wise enough early To avail them
selves of it. We therefore confidently give il
as our opinion that the relations Of Europe
with S. America will soon be placed upon a
regular established footing, founded on the
firm and lasting basis ofInutua interest. We
further feel confident that the Governments
OF South America, when the several States
have taken their equal stations amidst the ma
tions Of The earth. will endeavour to be on the
best terms with Europe, as the quarter in
which their productions must he consumed
As Englishmen. we also trust they will not
forget the debt of gratitude they owe to u.s.
We wish for no preferences, but such as our
own fair competition affords us we ask ONLY
for justice and consistency. On Colombia.
no doubt our cOuntrymen have claims of an
extensive and sacred kind, and such as she
will feel it her interest and duty to answer
with the utmost serupulosity. Her future
prosperity depends on the character under
+ which she now enters the great family of ma
tons and any deviation from the principles
of rectitude-any swPrring from the engage
ments she is under. must materially affect her
growing credit. The general plans in opera
iion for the welfare of all the New States, we
have every reason to believe, will tend mate
rally to improve the particular concerns Of
each, and then we hope to see them not only
enjoying All the local advantages of inde2en-
dence, but also the respect and consideration
due to acknowledged nations.
