Monarchical Man9uvres-rhe True Policy
OF the United States.

Ofthe United States.
We published in our paper ofWednes day last intel
ligence OF highly interesting and significant cha :
racer, from Buenos Ayres. 1t appears that the ma
val forces of the allied powers of France and Eng
land had taken possession of the Buenos Ayrean
SOU ,dron-that General Oribe commanding the
army Of Rosas, had had notice to retire from the
Banda Oriental-that the English and French mi
nisters had left for Monte video and that there was
every indication of direct and open collision be-
tween England and France and the Argentine Re-
public This intelligence is, indeed of the utmost
Importance, and indicates results and consequences
OF much more serious and weighy character than
at first sight might appear 10 be foreshadowed.
Ever since the formation Of the Holy Alliance, or
combination of the kingly powers of Europe, after
the downfall of Napoleon, it has pursued set
tied line of policy, and that is the establishment and
maintenance of monarch.cdl government. To the
accomplishment of this purpose, every aim Of that
powerful confederacy has been directed, and the
employed have been varied, cunnngly de-
vised, and employed with perseverance, unscru-
puousness and unanimty OF action, which have
but rarely failed of success One Of the most sue
c.sstul schemes which this alliance has employed
for the overthrow Of republicanism in the old
world, has been the adroit and secret encou-
ragement OF the spirit OF faction, and af-
forwards direct and dictatoria interference in the
quarres OF the contending parties, when the time
was fully ripe for the appearance OF the Alliance In
the subtle gulse of friendly mediator, in the in
solenly avowed character of sovereign Judge and
ruler. Thus 1t was that Belgium was placed under
monarchlcal government. So too, Greece alas!
Living Greece more"-
received the accused gift of king. The same po-
Icy we have now every reason to believe has been
adopted with regard 10 the republic of Buenos Ayres,
the first republic formed in South America. II is
obviously the design of the allied powers TO subvert
the republican form Of government in those proun-
ces, and to erect them into monarchy, with some
European prince as its head. The Alliance can have
no difficulty in finding king. They can supply the
whole world with the article. Princes are as plenty
as blackberries, and Of all descriptions. from the
sotttaced pauper-boy selected TO recruit the exhaust
ed royal line OF England, to the burly bandit living
By plumber IN his castle on the Rhine.
This opinion relative 10 the designs of France
and England, gathers greatly added force from the
fact that IN the recent work of NJ de Mofras on
Mexco-a work published under the sanction Of
Louis Phillppe,-lt is gravey proposed to trans
form that republic into monarchy, with Eu-
ropean prince at its head. The ground on which
this Is commended for 5, that SUCH step alone
can prevent that "exte aslon Of the area of free
donl"--scotied at by pseudo patriots at home,
and anathematized by enemies of liberty abroad
which has already struck terror to the hearts
of the monarchists OF Europe. The empire OF
Brazil allied 10 the Kingdom of France
by intermarrage, and De Mofras and those lead
ing members Of the French government, who, it
is understood, have gwen their especial approba-
ton his work, decidedly OF opinion, that it
would be only simple matter of common sense and
equity that French Prince should occupy throne
in Mexico. That the allied powers OF Europe are
indeed seriously alarmed al the progress of republi-
cdnsm on this continent, no man can doubt. Their
fears have been written leglby in their man9uvres
with respect TO Texas annexatlonn their intrgues
with Mexlco-ln he violent and frenzed assaults of
their orators journalists, and reviewers, on the
American character and American institutions
and now, mot less significantly their meddling with
the affairs OF the Argentine Republic And, what
right, we should like to know, have France and
England TO interfere IN the affairs OF that republic
What right had they to thrust their mediation on the
government of Buenos Ayres? Ought not our gov
eminent al once TO send out fleet to counterfeit the
designs OF those allied powers, who now, in direct
and insolen violation OF every principle OF interna-
tlona law, dare 10 threaten the Buenos Ayreans
with war, because the latter did not think proper to
accept the terms w,lch they prescribed in their un-
solicited mediation More gross and mpudent
conduct has never been exhibited on the part of any
government, than that OF which the French and
English governments have been guilty in this in
stance.
DO not let US imagine that ourselves are no
threatened in this movement-that il is matter in
which we have no immediate concern. II is far
otherwise. The monarchical powers OF Europe
have seen the United States, day by day, waxing
greater aid greater in all the elements of national
prosperity and national glory. They have seen US
year after year, gradually and surely adopting and
putting into practical operation, with perfect sue
