This is by far the most important point in
the Speech, and settles lin our mind) the
most important of all pending political CUES
tioDs.
From the London Morning Herald Of Jan 81
Mr.. CodCeu.-The Register, for this week
is ON the 4" American Presidents speech rels-
tive to the Spanish Colonies" and an extract
from this document is thus introduced-" The
speech of the American President, or the Mes
sage, as it is called, which was delivered to
the Congress, on the 1st Of December, con
taIDs matter relative to South America, or ra-
Their relative To the Spanish Colonies in Anne
rica, which matter has most agreeably sur
prised me; that is 10 say, upon the presuinp-
ton that tho Congress and the next President
will act upon the principles here laid down by
Mr. Monroe"
The following are extracts from remarks
on a portion Of the message:
/ believe Mr.. Monroe himself to be per-
fectly sincere. He is an honest man, and a
real lover of freedom. But suspect the Con.
girss still and must see them take part "a
gainst the Holy Alliance, before shall believe
that they intend to do IL. The press which is
| on the side of Mr.. Monroe, that is to say, the
radical press OF America, asserts that there is
danger that the Holy Alliance will if they sue
coed in recoonizins S. America, enable the
House Of Bourbon, to resume the Floridas
and Louisiana These writer's acknowledge
that the independence of Mexico. New Grana-
da, and Venezuela, might be injurious to the
United States that it might supply Europe
with part, at least, Of those products which
it now receives from the United States, Sc
Mr. Monroe seems to be of the same opinion.
He hints at the possibility of the Holy ALI
ance extending their principle of interior
rnce so far as to endanger the safety of the
United States. 1t is impossible that he can
believe, that the safety of the United States
would be endangered merely by recoloniza-
ton of the South American Colonies. He
must have his eye upon Louisiana and the
Floridas; the former Of which was purchas-
ed by the United States from BOnaparte,
the latter Of which was extorted from the
| King Of Spain at a time when his Kingdom
was convulsed. The manner in which these
territories were acquired makes the possessor
always uneasy. The possession is like that
which arises from forged will or from the
fundamentally ola hrbed attorney or from
the violence of an unpublished punderer.-
The old saying, that what is got over the
Devils back goes under his belly, continual
ly haunts the Congress. sin every bush
they think they see constable.n* They
cannot therefore think of French armies,
coming across the Atlantic to put down the
revolution, without feeling some degree of
uneasiness. These Floridas and this Louisi-
, ana, make an immense tract of country
and upon the possession of this tract depends
the possession of more than one half of the
territory of the United States. Without the
Fioridas and Louisiana, the United States
have no outlet from the States west of the
Allegheny Mountains. To take these coun-
tries away from the United States. would
therefore, he, to break up the Union And
IT really would seem, that the radicals of A.
merica are afraid that the HoIy Alliance
would attempt 10 do this
" When was in America, in the year 1917,
eleven Englishmen, who had arrived in that
country, who had done nothing to ofiend IFS
laws, We're seized, thrown into prison, and
most cruelty treated, by the officers Of the
Congress Government because it was prov
, ed that they were about To proceed to South
, America To take part with those who ,ysre de-
nominated rebels ! Aud now we hear the
President sfthis same Congress talking Just
[ as IL he had always been the warm friend OF
. South American Independence.
Here we are now, actually taking our place
under these bits of striped bunting or, at
least, it is my opinion that we shall do this
for, though the opportunity is so fair, who is
to believe that it will be made use of The
! thing to 90, is, at once to declare Mexico in
{ dependent, and to send ont good stout fee,
! with 10000 men to establish that indepen-
dence. MIR. Monroe says that the policy oil
, the United States is TO leave the South Amer
, leans to themselves. That is not the policy
. of England.
" However, l cannot say that think the
Holy Alliance will make any movements
of great consequence, for the present They
have stfled that which they so much dread
| ed in Portugal and Spain. They will, per
. haps, intrigue, and threaten, with regard to
South America. They may dissembe in
order TO gain time. In the inean time we
ought To push on; we ought 10 make Mexi-
Gu independent, form treaty with her, often
, sive and defensive; and thus nut an eyerlast
ing bride into the mouth of the United States.
