20 | ARRIVAL OF THE BAVARIA. im which the question was limited to simple that was the wer carried ou between Spain her re- W ited egiouies, which went ob {rom 1808 to 1822 or 18B3 Without any proposal for a rec gnition, ‘This case is one worthy the attention of your lordships, because & was Mlustrated by the mild wisdom of Lord Lansaowne, by the profound research of Sir James Mackintosh, and by the dazziing gevius of Canping. We have therefore upen thts question of recognitiog a8 much light as cam pos sibly be thrown upon any subject Now [ beg to refer your lordships to the words of Lord Lansdowne. He was. zealois for the recognition of the South American pro- vinces, he thought it would be @ great advaptage to thie country to recognize them, aud he was entirely free from any trammels of oflice or any obligation to consult the in- day. But with that wisdom acterived every act of his public liie—(bear, hear)—he stated that the first'thing to be considered was the right, and he went on thus:—It will ‘be my duty thie night to point out to your lorcsbips the great advantiges which may result from the establish- ment of South American independence, 1 sball never ¢tand up in thie Heuse to recommend your iordships to adopt any course of policy ineonsistent with those principles of right which are paramount to all expediency, and which compogo that great law of nations any departure from which, to answer a selfi and ambitious policy, ever fails to recoil upon its authors.’? ar, hear. ‘These cre words upon which this House may Well reflect— (hear, hear)—and we may welt consider upon what grounds Lord Landsdowne founded the views which | have Just brought under the notice of your lordsbips. In the first place, he stated it was necessary that @ country which required to be ized should have established its independence |n the next placu, that it shoula be able to maintain that independence for the future; and, Jastly, that it should be able to oun on with all foreign vations those relations of peace amity which form the general international law of the world. Now, exam: ine the state of the revolted provinces of Spain at that time, as Sir James Mackintosh and as Mr. ining did. We find that the greater part of South America had been some twelve or fourteen years entirely free trom the Presence of Spanish armies. We find that with d to those provinces in which that was not absolutely the case-— namely, Mexico, were Vera Cruz alone was occuvied by. @ Spanish garrison, and Peru, where there were 4,000 or'6,000 Spanisn troops, although the cause of Spain seemed hopeless, it was agreed that their eee: should be deferred, ana that only in:the: case of 214 Yor a aotuber of yours eatahiehed thelr indepeasenss nd tor a number of years esta “i ‘Would it be “right “for Great.

Well inate re our consideration—here is a 8 tl 7 &e., ae. government of the day after canalaaraiias posed examination—bere is a course recommended by the Position of the day, not in avy harsh spirit, but notwith- standing the conviction which the country generally en- tertained that the cause of Spain was hopeless and that the independence of those provinces was firmly estab- lished. (Hear.) Well, vow, if we look tothe present position of North America and compare it with that of the States of which Lord Lansdowne spoke, we find that the war in North .i\merica is sti!l carried om with the utmost vigor—I bad almost said with the utmost fury. We find some of those provinves which were the first to proclaim their independence—a great part of Lowisiana, New Orleans and the banks of the Mississippi—occupied by the fedora! armies. There are very considerable fe- deral armies menacing cities of the confederation, such as Charleston and Savannah, So that no man can say it iga case of hopeless war. For my part, and speaking accord- ing to my limited vision, I do not believe those efforts of the federais will be successful. But no man can say that the war is finally over.or that the independence of the Southern States is established. (Hear, hear.) Well, then, what is the present state of the case? Although great efforts have becu made in vain, the great federal republic seems unwilling to accept the decision of events. So far from it, we find the last acts of the Con. gress which has inst expired are to place, by conscrip- tion. every man fit to carry arms at disposal of the President of the United States, and to yote sums of money amounting to no less than £180,000,000 sterling for the purp se of carrying on the war. Well, then, in this state of uflairs | should say that, ooking to the question of right, it would not bea friendly act towards the United States, it would not be to fulfil our obligations to a country with The Hamburg steamship Bavaria, Captain Mier, from amburg March 22, and Southampton the 25th, arrived at this port late last night.

It was with deep mortification and pain I perceived taat a son of the proud and bonored house of Stanly should so far forget bis noble ligeage as to descend to low abuse of bis own people for the sake of pleasing his Yankee masters. It is true that some houses were burnt in Plymouth by Confederate troops. It is alleged that it was dune to oust some Yan-. kee thieves and marauders who had taken shelter in them. I hope that this is so,and that the act was not ene of wanton wickedness. 1t is plain, however, that it the Yankee scoundrels bad been at home atiending to their own business Plymouth would not have been dis turbed.
