Mexico into her safe-keeping.***
All this and more may beattemp*
vtd in this age of political mira
cles.
To check the daring progress
f the republic of the United
States, has been openly avowed
by British statesmen, and is now
openly inculcated by the British
writers of the present times. If
tiie girdle that was proposed at
Ghent to encircle this country,
could not be accomplished, that is
• .o reason why Great Britain will
heshate now to plant her sceptre
2 a the vicinage of the U States.
Americans be on your guard.
Be assured that the coalition of
Agitimatcs in Europe are dispos
ed for a crusade against whatever
people, or country that have hoist
ed the b anners of liberty.
Mexico free and independent,
r od allied to the Uuited States by
interest and gratitude as well as
by the laws ot nature, would be
< >i more importance to the human
race and to the civilized world
than any event that has occurred
since the 4th day of July 1775.

Be it known to all those who

ways preserving in my royal mind

minions in America and also to
the abundance and variety of the
precious sources of wealth which
they pos Sess; and being moreo- j
ver, convinced of the advantages
to my faithful vassals in general,
a perfect union and indenmy of
|my Kingdoms of Portugal and
i the Algarves, with my dominions
of Brazil, by raising the latter to
that great and political rank,,to
which, in consideration of the a
foresaid reasons they ought to at

dominions were already viewed
by the plenipotentiaries of the
power who formed the Congress

Our affairs with Spain become
every day more interesting——
The perplexities which the Span
ish authorities have subjected
our commerce to, must bring a*
bout a more serious state of;
things, if their policy be not speed-1
ily abandoned.
We have this day given rootn
to the communication of Jos* Al -.
vareZ De Toledo —This publica- !<
lion will be read with sensations ■
of satisfaction, admiration & re- ‘
gret! Americans well know how; •
to set the value on a production jl
tending to the advancement ofji
Liberty—And while they ad
mire his noble defence, they will •
regret that it has not heretofore
been in the power of ihe United
States, to render the Patriots of
Spanish America that assistance
they so richly deserve, in their
struggle against slavery, both
bodily and mental. This gentle
man, like some of the noble sons
6f France and Ireland, who have
left their native land—all the en
joyments of domestic
arranged themselves under die
banner of the American Repub
lic—-is worthy of our unfeigned
regard. Such Spirits kindle new
life in the breasts of the sons of
Columbia, and will at some future
day richly remunerate them for
the hospitalities extended to the
oppressed of ail nations.
A PLAN,
To stop the currency of Foreign
Change Paper in Louisville .
Let ten or twelve responsi
ble men of the town form a
Change Company, and issue a
sufficiency of Change Bills to an
swer all the purposes of trade.—
Such paper would he readily re
ceived in the vicinity,and would!
lessen the evil—in as much, that j
we should not then be imposed
>n with myriads of spurious pa
per.
The Spanish authorities acting
mder Ferdinand VII. upon the
Main are acting in the most un
precedented h unprincipled man
ner towards American vessels
A detail of a particular case has
been submitted to our perusal;
and we hav,e advised the parlies
injured to send a statement of the
transaction to the secretary of
state, a mode which we conceive
i preferable to laying the case be
fore the public in a newspaper.

Salvator de Mozo, Ifrigadier
general and captain general of
Caracas has issued a proclama*

* sel, whether Spanish or foreign,
i which shall resist any Spanish
ship for the purpose of aiding the
cause 6f the patriots, shall bt

On the return of pesce, both
in Europe ,and America, it was
imagined, by some people, that
what is usually denominated
NEWS, would become altogeth
er dull and uninte resting. „We
are not now indeed amused with,
battles and murders and human
slaughter on so large a scale a#
formerly, but the affairs of bon*
1 are as important I#’
| ever—Europe 5s still convuk&L \
jis still the grand theatre,on which
are exhibited every thing that om
interest the feelings and the inter
ests of thinking & benevolent men
wfiere the last quarter of a cen
tury, the evil has predominated
over the good Principle. The
late peace, it is to be apprehended,
is only a prelude to new wars, &
new encroachments on the civil
and religious Rights of Man.
Under a despotic government,
there may be a constrained calm,
or a constrained tranquility, as in
Spain, and as the legitimates are
now endeavoring to force upon
France, when the intellectual
mind may be chained in prisons,
or buried in the dungeons of the
iquisition. In this happy portion
of the globe, we have better pros*
pects, both moral and political-*
here the mind is free, and open
to new discoveries, to new iim
provements, and to new hopes, &
rising from the possession of all
those privileges which enlighten
and tnoble the sons of men * -
Where there is freedom, there
will be emulation, and a laudable
desire to learn wisdom from the
faults and follies of other nations,
instead of saying, ‘‘that there
is now a want of every thing in
teresting,” on the contrary we
think there never was a time,
when our curiosity should be
; more alive.-—The agony is not;
* yet over in Europe, the last chap
j ter of its eventual history is not
I yet opened.—The convulsions in
j South America, also are deeply
1 interesting to every man in these
United States—and our own af
fairs acquire constant attention,
and the most wakeful vigilence, to
guard our Palladium from the
machinations of foreign or domes
tic enemies.-— —Balt. Amer.

The House of Representatives
has passed two bills admitting the

states. Should these bills pass
the Senate, of which there can be
little doubt the whole number
will be twenty.
