    conspiracy was to set aside the reigning monarch , and to substitute in his place his brother , so well known in the beginning of the revolution by the title of Count d'Artffis * Now it is well known

    that of the Bourbon family the sovereign himself is the most popular , and with him is connected the observance of the charter to which the nation is much attached . The Ultra Royalists view ia this charter much unfriendly to their hopes and expectations , but their absence from their country has

    taught them little , and they had not the sense to perceive , that if their wishes had been gratified , in the monarch resigning Iiis charge , the y are themselves in so small a minority that they could never bring the nation to uuite with them in their projects .

    One of them evidently was to make some inroads on the possession of property as it is isow held , and probably the farther advancement of the popish religion would have been a great point with them . In what manner they were to have effected their purpose remains to be discovered . Several

    persons have been seized and a judicial inquiry is on foot , but probably it will never come to a public hearing and the matter will be hushed up . A great question is the withdrawing of the troops under whose surveillance the French nation is now kept . The sovereigns of the holy alliance are to

    have a grand meeting in the autumn , and this is to be a great subject of their discussions , but perhaps it is as much the interest of the reigning monarch that the troops should be kept near him , as it is of the other party to prevent France from falling into confusion . It is wow evident that the concordat is covered with such difficulties that it cannot appear without being in great measure re-modelled .

    The cause of the Spanish colonies in America becomes every day more and more interesting * . A decisive battle in Chili has so manifested the superiority of the iusurgents , that they have not hesitated t # th row off the odious yoke by which they have been so long enthralled , and by % well-written and spirited manifesto the ^

    have declared their independence to the world . Troops are said to bare gone fron& Spain , but before they can reach the western coast of America , the Independent * will be fully prepared to meet them . Thus the southern part of the south of America may be considered as emancipated . In

    the northern part the question is no * so decisively settled ; but the royal cause has suffered by such defeats , that we may expect soon to hear of its being * entirely annihilated . Upon the seas also a considerable maritime force is employed , part under the constituted authorities of the

    newly independent countries , and part of & piratical nature , which , taking * advantage of the circumstances of the times , is making predatory incursions on the commerce of Spain . The mother country in the mean time seems to be in such a state of

    imbecility , that it cannot take any vigorous measures for regaining its lost dominions . When the independent countries are settled into leg-itimate governments , a new spuj will he given to commercial enterprise , and it will be the fault of Great Britain if

    it is not a great gainer by this change of dominion . There is a great talk of a rupture between Spain and the United States , but it is not likely that the former will enter upon open hostilities , which would only proclaim more strongly its imbecility t < - tiie whole world .
