From the london Courier, Jan. 3.

We have more than once lately directed The at.
tenion OF our readers, to the state of affairs rather
to the politics Of the different Cabinets, upon the
Continent And we have not shrunk from express
ing an opinion, that however smooth and pacific the
prospect may at first appear, more attentive con.
sderation must bring us to the conclusion that the
situation OF the Continent is by no means satsfaco
Try. Apparent peace--real eparation--outward
harmony Inward jealousy. 1t should seem as iEthc
elements of the Holy Alliance were NOT well cemen-
ted and that they could not long hold together. One
principle, however, they seem to have in common
1.-The principle OF Loan raising-and OF making the
capitalists OF this country place them in state Of
preparation. We shall in day or two, lay before
our readers the nature and amount OF each loan that
has been raised in this country during the peace,
and endeavor to shew in what way they have been
applied by the countries raising such Loans We
told it will be found that the predictions of those
who assured us that each loan would be beneficial
10 our trade, have been completely disappointed
for much Of these loans has been kept by different
powers in spece.-We are quite sure our readers
have no idea of their total amount-and more, we
hear are coming. To be sure they will, as long
as British Capitalists will furnish these snues ofwar
to the Continental Powers, so long will the CONT
mental Powers favor us by accepting them. We
should like to know too, the exact amount OF British
gold and silver coin which has of late been exported
The very eagcrness for raising loans in this country
fought 10 have created suspicion, if not alarm There
can, in opinion be but one and one motive
for this eagerness. But some politicians will not
or they do not see it. They rely too much upon
the fact, that we have deserved nothing but the
gratitude and affection of every nation for TO every
nation we have given the powerful aid OF our arm,
and the benefit OF our wealth.
But there is restlessness, an Impotence, an i'll
concealed dissatisfaction every where al the existing
&c Hatr Each of
text. This shews itself in small events we'll as
in great AS far we have been able to follow the
course of events France has conducted herself to-
wards her Allies with good faith But it should seem
as if other Continental Powers thought there was
100 much Of the liberal system in her politics. She
has not according TO them Cat least according 10 one
of them been sufficiently ultra in her policy toward
Spain. Probably some dissatisfaction has been ex-
pressed at the intention of the French government
10 withdraw the French troops in July. This is
said to have been considered too carly period. And
again the amount of French troops stationed in that
kingdom is considered TO be too lew. M. De Viii
lele is suspected by the Power to which we allude
ofbeDg too liberal and moderate in his views, and
hence in the honors lately bestowed, his name has
been altogether omitted, although he is President off
the Council--equiValent TO the post of Prime Min
lister here. This circumstance has, according toll
priyase letters, given considerable offence TO the
King Of France. 1t is not very important occur
renee certainly, but it shews the anirnns and should
hosties be avoided in the East Ut Europe, (though
there begins TO look rather gloomy)i
there is another point which we have all along be-
lieved, it will be impossible to arrange amcably--
we mean the fate Of South America. II is quite
probable that France is inclined TO follow our exam
pie, and that she would have gone hand and hand
with US in the recognition of South American indie
pendence, but her engagements with her Allies re-
mt r,ray q anrd
too that the Russians at Paris have expressed equal
