The answer Of Lord Liverpool to the MARQUIS of
Lansdown, on the subject Of South America, seems
TO put al rest the idea that Europe will interfere to
reduce the iormer colonies Of Spain IN this continent
TO their ancient vassalage. The memorandum re-
ierred TO IN II, of a conversation between Mr.. Can
ming and the Prince de Pognac, asserted on lie
part OF MIR. G. that any attempt to recover those
colonies would only lead enc ed bloodshed with
out hope OF success and this was asscned to by the
French Minister. In the speech OF Mr. Huskisson,
IN the House of Commons, in support Of the Chan
celior OF the Exchequers budget, and especially in
reference 10 repeal OF the duties on silk he seems
to treat the question OF South American independence
as one no longer questionable, and that indepen-
prize and " nsy an W% T field TO British enter
able speech not without blush lhat we seem mady
bent on adopting, at all hazards, the errors which
exposes !" the most mastery aud conclusive style.

The Marquis OF Landsdown had on Friday last
intma' ed his intention Of putting some questions 10
N he stfi,t nf ,l,a
which had been laid the table on The previous
day, relating 10 South America ; and though from,
circumstances which had taken place elsewhere,
some ot The points which he had wished for infor-
nalion might be considered already answered vet

desIroUs OF obtaining explanation from the Noble
Earl. he first question ont of that mart of

between the Prince de Poliguac and MI Canning

stated, thai permission TO trade with the Spanish
colonies had been conceded to GTeai Britain in the
year lGlO Row lie certainly did not recolect 10
nave seen any treaty TO that effect any document
containing stipulation or concession of the kind
described. He would, therefore he glad TO know
whether any such stipulation or concession existed
ana where 1t was 10 he found. His second Question
related to the last despatch Of MIR. Canning, dated
Jan 80, which contained offer of mediation be-
tween SPAN aud her colonies made on the patt of
this county. He thought that sufficient lime had
elapsed Tor receiving answer to this despafcb .
mInI'iers TO come 10 final deter minaiinn on the
measures they were adopt. He therefore wished

eu 70 thIs despatch. The third question The Noble
Marquis thought TO he still more important Than the
