The Wilmingtonian, and Delaware advertiser., 1827-02-08

ridiculed the convention formed in Buenos
Ayres in 1928 with the Spanish Commits
sioners. 1t had progressed and been con-
Quoted with so much reserve, that it was on
ly recently developed, when put into ope-
ration by certain agents of the Holy Alli-
ance; such, for example, are Prince Ester
hazy, Count Paimeia, both ambassadors
resident in London, the former for Austria,
the second for Portugai-including Mr..
Hartado,~ who is supposed to be completely
initiated in the project, and is laboring with
activity in negotiating its adoption, even on
the part of England. 1t is said that the
French Government is likewise at the bot
tom of the business, maintaining, however,
the greatest circumspection. probably a.
waiting the fiat os Great Britain, without
whose cooperation it is in vain to hope for
the success of any European scheme for
planting itself ON the territory OF America.
We do not admire at the project, nor at all
which is said on the subject respecting the
Holy Alliance. Nor do we at the generos-
ity Of the European Powers. What we do
admire at, and what will appear most sin
gular before our readers, is, that the name
of Columbia should appear as taking a part
IN this business, and part so conspicuous.
1t is question worthy of examination, how
this intervention of Colombia is to be resolved:
out without entering deeply into the ques-
tion, an observation is started, at once,
which disburthens us of every doubt. 1t
seems TO be a fact that such plan has ex-
listed ard docs exist: another fact is that it
cannot be realized except by one of two
modes: either with the express consent of the
first maritime power in Europe, and of the
first OF that character in Ameriea;-.or with
tho accord and consent Of the States estab-
ilshcd in the formerly Spanish Colonies.
But there is existing, likewise, another fact.
which is that both England and the United
States are strongly compromised by the
most solemn acts, to resist any attempt by
Europe to ointroduce herself in America, with
powerful intervention there is existing,
still, another--that England. in such pro-
ject, must see directly attack kcd the base of
her former exterior policy, which consists
in diminishing, by every possible mean, the
sphere q influence of foreign Governments;
and that the Y. States, in such project, can
not but be aware ofthe great danger to which
their liberty is exposed, seeing thus blasted
the progress of the sacred cause throughout
America; and all these facts being evident,
it results that the said project can only be
founded or sustained upon calculation on
the consent of all, or, at least, of greater
part Of the new states.
1t is not necessary that we introduce here
a particular notice Of Brazil. 1t must be re.
ceived as established that its Government is
one of the two to which this new monster is
to give birth. Mexico decapitates Empe-
rors She has to dread the vengeance of
him who is to come in royal robes or per-
haps he who is designated would do well to
bear 10 mind the old proverb, El 9ae Aace
ua eesto Aara I'm ciento." [I.iterally, he
who makes one maund can make hun
dred.)
The argentine Republic is engaged in
actual struggle, and in struggle which will
be bloody, against these imperial ideas which
are appearing in every direction to iismem-
Der her, and if it be possible, to extingnish
i'll her every sentiment of liberty or civili-
cation.
Guatemala and Chile encounter difficult
ties in organizing themselves. They seek
to enjoy the greatest possible liberty; and
this is problem not SO easy to resolve as
that of making one man free, and enslaying
a whole people. What remains to us? Bo-
lvia. Peru, and Columbia: three states in
which one only chief sways his influence: and
which chief has established, or is about es-
tablishing, in two of them, a hereditary and
imperial form ofgovernment, and proposes
to extend that form to the third--to Colom-
bia itself
Thus, then, not counting on England and
the United States for effecting the object of
such plan; nor on the disposition in favor of
it on the part of the four states above nam
edit being evident that the project can
never be realized with the consent of said
States nor with a s,lneriority of influence
