We now see that lr. tanning has no hope but for the Repisblic of Colombia. This Is a singular defet fot tne hopes he gave rise to when he announced to the World in Parliament that tiheapanish Americas were. defacto indepetidebt. For the second time Nr. Caioning is about to commita great failt. When the wair with Spair. was in question, he made sucis declara- tions to the Parliamenit, that it wvas believed Englanl would take ac- tive part with thie revolutionists, Hethought to strike terror. Af- terwards he lavished his advice.on both parties; anid at last, durinig the siege of Cadiz, in the latest m-oments of the existence of the re- volution, he still offered his mediation. 'the course which Mr. Canning follows with Spain and herArnericas is the same.At first iidepeudeiceede*fbcto; it was believed that England would take active part for tlie Americans- he wished to create alarn) ; then came counsels to Spain that she herself should declare the independence of her colonies- and at last lie offers a mediation between the mother coLntry ann liertransrnarine possessions. It is imipossible hat this policy should not have the sanie results as tllat wbhich was followed towards the Spanisl revolutionists and Mr. Canning will write to Colonel lfaniilton the same lettertbatihewrote to Sir William A'Court a few days before the surrender of Cadiz. In that letter lie made the agsnvede honorable as to the strength which he thought the Spanisih revolution to possess, and announced that the other memibers of His hlajesty's council had better judged of the state of thiings thar he had. a p , , * U The only interest, the immnediate interest (of England) is to trade with tine Spanish colonies ou paying moderate duties, as has lo0ng been dlone in Ifavainahi, aril the Philippine Islands. The Bnglisli, Frencl, and other trading nations, by aiding the prosperity of these islands, have aid still do carry oni a brillianit traffic. The whole coast of Peru and Chili will soon lbe open to thei, wilch will givc an iimense outlet to European manufatcturea. Later, indubitably, wYill conie the liberty ot trale with Mlexico, and then all the most irniportarit commerce of America will be open; for tie Terra Firma and Buenos Ayres ,vili be in ruins for a long tine to coli.c If the other possessotons enioved the same (le facto independence so lon? as thcse iwo Republic;, they would also be ruined. And what jradie coxuld be carried on witl countries wasted by so many years of'azarchy? " The too brilliati hopes" which Mr. Canning' warnied his hearers against, are applicable to this fact. It is evident then, even by his own admission, that the iminediate interest of comimnierce, as wel1 Engli8h as of other nationis, is. that the Spauish colonies sliould retirn to subm3ission to the Peninsula-.that a tarifli' with moderate duties should be established by Spain, atid tiathence- forward all nations should participate in ari ativantageoud trade,with. out fearing piracy on sea or land. Ni'e venture to lpredict that such will be the issue of so manly dis- cussions. The energy of the English Cabinet, and its love of order and legitiniacy, tay be displayed, and will be displayed-we can- riot doubt it-once more in favour of Spain, of universally acknow- ledged principles of justice.-Rl-ile. f EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.1 IllSSOLONGHI, M1AY 15. " Otr town has for some dlays past presented the most touching spectacle. Tie death of l,ord Byron is, without contradiction, a ca- lamitv far all Greece. Thissublime poet, who, by the accents of iis Iyrc alone, dismaved our infanous tyrants, who by his heroic genius animated the courage of our initrepid warriors, and wliose gifteei strains were alone equal to art army, has renderetl up his last sigh in the milist of our warriors, and in the arms of ourr worthy Prince Mlavrocordato. He died with the most ardent wvish for the perfect independence of Greece, hiis adop.ed and highly beloved country. Thefollowing are the words which he pronounced in the last moments of lixs lHie, and which pass froni mouth to mouth tilroughout all this country:- ` I die content, witli the sweet hope that Greecev will soon bee'n- tirely delivered from her barbarous oppressors, and that the So- vereigns of Christendom will make it a sacred duty to preclaim her independence. Mlay my death at least render tkese Sovereigns less haughty, anrd more generous towards your heroic country. But for you, brave Greeks, persevere in your glorious career, crush your tyrants, and always maintain the decree- TleDeliverance of Greece, or Deathl.' "Suci were the words of our immortal benefactor. We all assisted to-ay n a solemn mass celebratedl in the mCetropolitan church in 130nour ofthis great nian. The procession of our voung girls, when they repairedl to tire TemoDle of the Lord, above all increased our tears. With dishevelled hair, and covered witlh black crape, they sang a funeral hymn in the choir; then followe-l tire priests, the civil dignitaries, and rntlitary officers, followed by all the soldiery, whose colours were decoratetd with branches of cypress. "On Easter-day M Spiridion Tricoupis,a young Etolian of nierit, and belonging to one of the first famUies of oar town, delivered in the same church a funeral oration on Lord Byron, of which the fol- losing passage is the most remarkable:-' At this moment the whole army, ready to march agairrst the enemy at' the Christian name, surround the bier of the immortal poet and warrior, the be- nefactor of Greece. She proffers over his bodv the oath of never forgetting the sacrifices of that great man, and of never allowing the barbarians to soil with their footsteps the place where his heart re- poses. Every mouth makes the temple of the God of Christians resound with prayers for the hapiy arrival of his mortal remains in the country of his birth, and that'his soul may reposc in the same place with the great men, benefactors to humanity, and with the righteous of every condition.'"-_4onraal des D>cbats.
