further continuance Of the war. and nothing
was left to the Queen but TO retain the cabinet
and the policy of Narvaez.
This failure Of Spain in its attempt to subiu-
gate an American country will be received with
the greatest delight by all who desire the eman.
cipation of the entire American Continent from
European rule. They will regard it as the har-
binger of the fate OF Spain in the Peruvian ques-
ton. and Of Louis Napoleon and MaInilian IN
Mexico. With regard to the former, we con.
slider it as certain, that most of the South Ameri-
can republics will henceiorth be united in resist
ing any European encroachment upon South
American Territory. They represent spopula-
ton Of at least ten millions, and most of them
are now fortunately advancing rapidly on the
road Of material prosperity. Their warlike
strength is increasing from year to year. and II
Spain was unable to carry through war against
the smallest Of all American States, San Do
mngo protractel war against half dozen oil
the South American States is entirely out OF the
question. The army aud navy Of the former
may not yet be quite equal to that Of the latter;
but an effort to continue war against South
America for six months, would hopelessly ruin
the Spanish finances.
The Republican party OF Mexico must like.
wise find itself greatly encouraged by the issue
of the San Domingo struggle. We give Maxi
milan credit for sincere cndeavors to conclliate
the good wishes iof the Mexican people, and to
some extent even Of the neighbOring American
States. and we should not be in the least sur.
prised it, i'll proportion o. we succeed III sup
pressing the Rebellion, he should appear more
and more anxious to court the favor oil the
Government OF the United States. But all the
promises Of material reform which his Govern
ment is so cagor. 10 hold out, cannot doaway with
the fact that his rule is forced upon an American
people by European bayoneis. The majority OF
the Mexican population and most OF the State
capitals may be at present within the military
lines of the invading army; but this proves as

tain himself as the temporary subsection
Of ali the Dominican territory to the Spanish
rule, was proof Of the permanent downfall OF
Dominican independence. The perseverance
and final triumph of tho patriots OF San
Domingo will strengthen the hope Of the Mexi-
can republicans that the eclipse OF the republic
shall be temporary, aud its glorious restoration
speedy. II only the people remain as firm in
their devotion 10 national independence and free
institutions, as the Domincans, neither Maxi
milan nor Louis Napoleon will have financial
resources sufficiently ample to keep them in sub
lection against their will.
Since writing the above, w have received
the ,elegaphic summary of the Asin's news.
from which We learn that the Queens speech on
the opening OF the Cortes did not refer to San
Domingo, but announced that to remedy the
unsatisfactory condition Of Spain, bill of great
importance would lie laid before the Cortes. 1t
is expected that this bill will relate to the affairs
oil san Domingo.
