Among, various Estimates ot Miscelianeous Service, just laid before Parliament, we find one entitled, "An Esti- " mate of the Sum whicrk will be required to defray the charge of purchasing, together with the expenses inci dental to the preservation anrd public exhibition of the late -Mr. ANGERSTEIIi'S Pietures-60,OOO1." Of this sum the public will see that S7,000L. is the naked price of the pictures, and the rest is to be appliedl to the otlher purposes mentioned in the preceding extract. The fufure management of the Picture Gallery and its contenits, is sketched in a Treasury minute, addressed by Lord Li- VERPOOI. to th e Board; in which his Lordship states, that there ought to be a keeper, with a salaryof 2001. per annum, an assistant keeper with 1501.,Ivith some subor(linate agents. The lovers of the arts, and probably the nation at largea, will have no objection to this plan: but looking to the duities imposed on the first keeper, and .lhe aoquire- ments which he otught to possess, we think he is but moderately remunerated. " He is to have the clharge of the collection, to attend particularly to the prcservation of the pictures; but he is also to be competent to value, and, if called upon, t6 nego- tiate the purchase of any picturcs that nmay in future be added to the collection." 3Now it is evident, that the man whio shall have these latter duties to perform, must be a connoisseur of the most infallible judgment-one who has spenteis life in the studv of pictures-who is ac- quainte(I by travcl and reading vith their history, and by observation and taste with their faults and excellencies: and that 2001. per annum is not an adequate remuneration for the employment of suchI talents, is, we think, quite clear. rhe C.stodi of the great collections of Italy are persons of the rank of nohlesse; and being eminently distinguished by their skill in the fine arts, they are adequately renmu- neratcd. It mast also be observed farther, that much more .alent is necessary for the formation, of a National Gallery, than for the management of a gallery already fort-ned. If 2001. a year were sufficient for the person to whom the latter duty should be confided, twice that sum would be in- adequate pay to oue who should have to direct the former; and who, in ad(ldition to the duty of preserving the pictures already possesscd, shoul(d have the infinitely more difficult task of selecting others for purchase, and managing the ne- gotiation. The collection, it seems, is to remain for the present in its old abode in Pall-mall, Lord LIvEPt0ooL having made an arrangement to that effect, " during the remainder of the term for wlhich it is held by Mr. AN- GCRsTin,, and at the same rent."

'Ve observe with pleasure, that thc liberal piinciples of commerciaI policy announced an)d enforced by NIr. Hus- KISsoN, in the debate on the silk trade, have been echoed and recommended by a very influential part of the French press. The following quotation from the reported speech of the Right Hon. Gentleman has been translated into most of the journals, and eulogized by many of them:- " If for advocatingsucl principles he should be u-cused of lean- ing gtrongly to a liberal policy, he should at once plead guilty to the charge :but they were principles founded on experience, and sane. tioned by the best authorities. In his opinion, to be liberal in mat- ters of commercial policy was to remove the jealousies which had hitherto prevented a free intercourse between different nations-was to cxtend to each the advantages and enjoyrments of the other_ was to promote arts, science, and cihilization ; and, in a *rord, was to advance those salutary, beneficial, and enlightened views which were best calculated to increase the wealth, opulence, and power of the country. In short, he was liberal to other countries, because by being bo he felt that he best consulted the interest of his own." The Constitutionnel, which is most extensively read amon)g those powerful classes of French soeiety de- voted to commerce and manufactures, and which, as their organ, has frequently expressed an illiberal jealousy of the progress of English trade and industry, lias been the first to give to the above sentiments all the advantage of its circulation, and all the weight of its authority. It even goes farther; and, as MIr. Hussissov professed that he would be hberal to the corrnnerce of other countries, be- cause in being so be best consulted the interests of his own, the French journalist recommends the abolition of certain restrictions on the importatiou of foreign manufactures into France,because they provoked reprisals "iinjurious toFrench "agriculture and industry." By frequently reciprocating such sentiments between the enlightened orders ofliffierent nations,prejudices must bc graduhally removed,and jealousies allayed, among thosepersons who aremost liabletotakethe alarm at every proposed improvement, who consider every relkxation of monoply as a boon granted to foreigners at their expense., and who unhap:pily act too powerfully on the ignorance or timidity of their rulers to allow the imme- diate adoption of better principles. By a free cormmerce of liberal ideas, we shall soon have a free commerce of commodities.

(Prorn n tln-rre?nond nt) It is understood that the recent deliberations of the Ca- binet have been principally occupied with the question be. tween Spain andLher late colonies, respecting. which somc new communications are said- to have been received ftow iMadrid. The offer of mediiation, it is ndwV asserted,'hat been positively rejected, as implying in the very proposi- tiOil that certain concessions are to be required of-tlf mother country, which are wholly at variance with the Itone assumed by the Spanish Ministry. 'The last Govern- |ment messenger from Madri4i is believed to have brought this rejection of our interference in the character of me- diator, but it is accompanied by other proposals, which appear to have been resorted. to as a middle course, between mediation and leavinT the whole affair to the chances of intrigue or of an attempt at conquest. Spain has now expresced a (lesire that the infineince of this GOe- 'vernment may be exerted in the first instance vwith her late colonial possessions, to induce the-m to make the preliminary advances necessary to save her dignity. WVe learn that the Ministrv have so far acceded to this. vish in their desire to bring about an accommodation on amicable terms, that they have determined on immediately sending a special mission to Mexico, the country on which Spain has represented the experimentas mosr likely tobe made with success. Through the aristocracy and priesthood of that country, it is coIl- ceived that the ties wvhich before hell it for Spain may be again cemeented, and that an example of concession may be set there hiahlv impoTtant to the futnre arrangements oF Spain isith the South American States. That this ex- pectation will be frustrated,there requires verv little discern.. ment to predict; but the e-xperiment is, we hear, at all events, to be made imnmediately. A confidential agent has been selected for the special mission, and orders havc been given for immediately preparing a ship of war to convey him to that countrY. Such is the dlegree of inportance at- tached to the mission, that although tlha end. might perhaps have been obtained by additional instructions to the gen- tletnan who has gone out to Mexico in the character of Consul-General, it has been preferred to employ a person high in ministerial connexion for this express purpose.

WVe believe, that in regard to the politics of this country towvardls thc states of South America, the speech of Lord Livr.tirooi. oni Aloi:day nighV will have created no dis- agreeable sensation throughout this counitry. WVe practi- cally acknowledge the independc-nce of the new States; wc trade with thln ; we station Constls in their ports ; and, at the momcnt that we publicly attest the inability of the mother coutitry to recover her ancient possession of them, we declare that we sball not sufficr a tlhird Power to inter- fere. Tiic States of South America, we should conceive, can want nothing more from us than this ; and If they aye content, the fiiends of freedom in England nmay be content likewise. Clould our refusal to acknowledge their indle- pentlence prevent or suspend the attainment of that bless- ing, then, indeed, they would have reason t complain, and their more ardenit friends in England miglht with justice re-echo their cries; but as they tnay be perfectly free without our taking any public or formal notice of the fact, it appears that we have nothing miiore to do, for ei:hcr their convenience or ours, than to treat themn exactly as they are-as we find thetu, 'witltout troubling ourselves to de- clare wlhat they are eitlher to others or to_thelnselves. f.jNDOJA', JEDYES.L'A1, MARCH 17. 18-24.
