One event in the Northern part seems fatal to Ibe Spanish power . It is said , that General Humbohlt , with a great body of French offieect , has entered into the service oi the insurgent * of Mexico , and with such in *
* fcruc $ ors in the art of war , they will find no great difficulty in overcoming their opponents . In the South , apprehensions are entertained for the . independence of Buenos Ayres ; and the kingdom of Brazil is reported to have sent considerable forces tobeards Lra Plata , if not to attack the rising
republic , to secure at least the territory North of its banks . Enough is to be done by the court of Brazil in its own kingdom , without interfering in this contest ; for . by looking well to its own internal government , H may soon become a power of far greater consequence than it can be by a return to Europe .

A mistaken policy gave way
perhaps too * much oh the alarm , and a strange alarm it was , on tfre comparative cheapness « f provisions ; but the hopes raised by their becoming dearer have been falsified . The evil took its rise from another source , which no prohibitions could -remedy . We had lived with ait artificial circulating medium , which could not bear tine sudden shock that

There has been distress at the end of every war , but peace brings healing in its wings . Only let us not be wanting to ourselves , nor think too slightingly of its blessings .
Meetings have been held in town and in several parts of the country , for the relief of the poor . One at the London Tavern was presided over by the Puke of York * accompanied by two of his brothers , tae Archbishop of Canterbury , several othet members of tlie Houses of Lords and Commons , and a very respectable body of members and tradesmen of the city of London . The purport of the meeting was to raise a
subscription , but tib& framers of tbe motions gave an erroneous statement of th * causes of the distress , which led to a sharp discussion , ending i a the alteration of the motion and the withdrawing of the amend meot . The latter entered into a political disquisition , in which a very great majority
of the room concurred , censuring the lavish expeadlturerof the public money , and calling for reform in various particulars . Tfeeit -was much truth in the assertions of all par * ties , for it is to a complication of cans ** that the present distress is owing , among which the injudicious act , under the nan * of the com-bill , is apprehended by many to bear no inconsiderable share . The &ct
is , that whatever may have been the causes * ihe diatress actually exists ; and thou $ b # society of this kind cart go but little waf towards the general relief ,, yet t&e spidt < rf benevolence which it engenders cannot bt too highly , commended ^ and in many iAr stances its assistance will be « flMdoi »' A Common Hall has « bo beent hetik
