American Policy \j South America. American policy in South America should be the policy of the United States. So should it be in North America, What has it been in our half of the New World? Nothing but the policy of irrepressible conflict. In South America, 1s well as in Mexico and Central America, people have but too well followed the polifical and diplomatic axioms of our jaunty aud trimming Secretary of State. Un- fortunately, however, the latter diplomat and foster fathier of strife here has had to make the acknowledgment that a certain war in South America was “manifestly imperfectly de- veloped, ai least it was very imperfectly ‘un- derstood ere” (in Washington). This admis- sion was made, under date of June 13, 1867, to our Minisier, General Sullivan, accredited to the republic of Colombia. It would seem that the political .understanding of South Americans has not been quite so obtuse; for the civil system of butchery that has come lately in vogue here under the auspices of Mr. Secretary Seward has been not only per- fectly developed, but thoroughly understood on the other side of the Equator. The history of the lust few years bears us out in this simple statement of facts. And the con- trast that might be made between the recent offers of mediation on the part of the United States in South American wars and the peace conferences attempted under Mr. Seward’s auspices at the beginning and end of our late civil war would clinch the ar- gument, now universally accepted in South America and Europe, that our present policy on this Continent is no policy at all, or at the best one of conflict—one of irrepressible con- flict, So it seems to us at home. We need but refer to our still unsettled irrepressible conflict, to the Paraguayan war and to the Spanish war on the Pacific, all-of which could and should have been long ago settled by a competent Foreign Secretary. It is true the American government bas never had a thoroughly well defined policy as to South America. Now is the time to form one and to proclaim it, The Paraguayan war moves every chord in the hearts of Ameri- cans. If our Minister to Brazil, General James Watson Webb, understands the whole secret of this war and can command the sup- port of our truly American republic, the con- trol of the great commercial artery of South America can be kept from the grasp of a mon- eyed aristocracy and from monarchical sway. All the republics of that half of our Continent can be so banded together and united in so close a brotherhood that the Rio de la Plata can be secured for the common good of South America and the universal profit of the busi- ‘ness world. More than this, republican insti- tutions can be so strengthened that in a short time the imperial régime of Brazil will have to be expunged. The latter event will react on Europe, and the political shock thus gene- fated may throw up from the depths of South- ern Europe small but secure islands of refuge for the cause of true government. But so far, we have no policy in South America, Let us have oue at once, Tae ALABAMA CLaiMs Serr.ep.—It is said that Mr. Seward has given a carte blanche to Reverdy Johnson to settle the Alabama claims with Lord Stanley just as he pleases, and it would appear from our new Minister's recent addresses to all manner of people in England that ho is playing his part with great fidelity to his instructions. We are not at all sur- prised to see the English papers declaring that there is no longer any difficulty in the way of settling the Alabama claims. Mr. Seward and Mr. Reverdy Johnson have no doubt ‘‘settled” them in a very amicable manner, quite agree- able to the government of Great Britain, A New anp Startiine Exorrement.—All the excitement of the political campaign is likely to be soon eclipsed by the startling dis- closures about the revenue frauds. President Johnson bas commenced in earnest to investi- gate these stupendous frauds of a hundred millions or more, and no doubt there will be a terrible shaking up of the whole rotten system, Involving high and low officials, from the Secretary of the Treasury, Commissioner of Internal Revenue and members of Congress down to the inspectors, assessors, collectors and district attorneys. It will be an earth- quake to the officeholders, and we may look out for the greatest havoc among the internal revenue thieves and rascals. 4 Bromcrasarr Apvick.—Professor Dana ad- vises Mr. Seymour to resign as candidate for the Prosidency, as he has no chance. It is of little consequence whether Mr. Seymour re- signs or not, for Grant will be elected. But this will be only a temporary state of things in the political affairs of the country. In the near future the Southerners will come up again, when, in conjunction with the demo- cratic elements of the West and North, and through their superior statesmanship, they will govern the country for fifty years.

LONDON, Sept. 25, 1868. Advices received this afternoon from Spatn indi- cate that the rebels are especially strong on the sea- board. On the northwestern coast they hold possession of the fortified seaport town of Corunna, capital of the Province of Corunna, situate in the bays of Betanzos and El Ferrol, on the Atlantic, and lying 320 miles northwest of Madrid. Corunna stands on the ‘east side of a small peninsula and consists of an upper and lower town. It is strongly fortified. The har- bor is safe and defended on the east by Fort San Diego, on the west by Fort San Antonio, On the north stands the Tower of Hercules, a lighthouse ninety-two feet in height, built on a Roman founda- tion, The Spanish Armada sailed from the port of Corunna for the invasion of England in the year 1588, and on the heights of £lvina above it the British general, Sir Jonn Moore, although mortally wounded, defeated the French on the 16th of January, 1809, The insurgents hold also on the same line the walled town of Pontevedra, capital of the province of the same name, situate near the mouth of the Levey, thirteen miles north-northeast of Vigo. The Port is safe and has a profitable coasting trade. | They have also possession of the port and town of Vigo, lying thirteen miies south-southwest of Ponte- vedra, and thus enjoy an excellent harbor, with ex- tensive entrenchments on shore. Vigo was attacked by the English under Admiral Drake in the years 1585 and 1589, and also by Lord Cobham in 1719. The revolutionists have also seized the mouth of the Tambre river, which, rising near the western edge of the Asturian mountains, enters the Bay of Noya, in the Atlantic, after a course of sixty miles west-southwest, Revolt of Royal Regiments.

It tends towards a combination be- tween the members of the Right and those of the tiers-part, M.

La Mar- mora, Lanza, Brignone, sella, in fact, all the Pied- montese, voted against him in the late discussion on the Tobacco bill. M. Cantelli, who repiaces dorna, belongs to Central Italy. He is modest, active and esteemed, and never had any other political bias than his con- atancy ip agreeing with the majority. M. Mordini is said to have accepted the Depart- ment of Agriculture and Commerce, which the re- tring Minister held ad interim. The new member of the Cabinet was formerly the soul of the Left, the friend of Garibaldi and Pro-Dictator in Sicily. He had almost retired from politics, After having, in company with M.
