inan to the editors of the Commercial ./ldvcr-
iisér, dated Lozwotv, October, 1323.

The contest in Spain may be considered

' as virtually over, and legitimacy has obtained

(5!

 

a triumpli. The neutrality of England on
the one head,’and the defection oftlreir gene'-
rals on the o'ther,left tlieCortes butlittlc. chance
ofmaking head -against the armies of France.

The French entered Spain with a perfect
confidence of succeeding in their attempt,
calculating, us they did, not only on tlreirown
rneari,s,colrlsi'stin‘g as well ofmoiiey, as ofnren,
but r'el_vii‘i'g upon the strong ‘and efficient sup-
port they ivoiild receive from lhe‘pries'ts‘a'rid
nobility of Spain, 'str'erigtlieiied by the fears
oftlre itiurid aridjtiriie-servi'rig, who dreaded
tlregpower of France ; strengtlrened, as it was,
by the c'orrrrte'narrce'ofthe Holy Alliance, and
supported, as tlreyilioriglrt itwould have been.
if n'ece'ssa'r'y, 'by their ‘willing co‘-operation;
while France, 'u'o'doubt,'felt wall'assu'red that
this country would take no pait in the 'ii‘:t't'—
Eiigliinil appearing determined on neutrality,
if wa'r'could‘possibly be avoided. The French
troops, in all probability, will reriraiirin mili-
tary occupation of some-of the "principal -for-
tresscs of Spain, rintil the adored Ferdinand,
aswhs lately the case with Louis ‘ll.’ dcseire,’
shall feel hinrself-strong enotrglr to dispense
with the presence of his -deliverers. The.
=Bourbori dynasty,irr the mean time, has gain-
ed an important accession of strength from
this campaign. The Duke d’Augouleme has
disappointed the expectations that were form-
ed oflriiri,lry exccedingthe hopes oflrrs friends.
He has on some occasions displayed more lib-
erality than he was CV61‘ Sll[,)p0S8(l UYPOSSESS-Z
but, above all, he has rendered himself popu-
l'ar'witb his troops; and, by alittle display,
on one or two occasions, Of some personal
bravery, appears to have secured the esteem
ofthe armv. ‘Louis, tlrercfore, has gained an
importantdpoint. The Bourbous have :1 Gen-

eral, at least in name; and they-liave air ar-

my, in fact, devotedto their cause. The coir-
tinuance of this army in Spain, will also be
the means of assisting them ; the soldiers will

be removedifrom the ‘possibility of becouiing

infected with ftlic spirit of ‘discontent wlriclr
niav’e'xist in France,‘wlrile an army "is gene-,
rally disposed to preserve its avllcgianceto the-
governureut that pays them well, and supports
them in case in a foreign country ; and as for
the expense of keeping oirfoot 50,000’nrcu, if
not home by Spain, it will be a matter ofbu:
little consequence to France, rvlrose resources
are ample, and whose debt is rncorisiderable.
From every vierv, therefore, tlratl can take ol_
the stthjcct, I see no hope fortbe cause ofra-
tioiial freedom. Legitimacy has obtained a
Uitllltpli, andtlre sleep ofdcspctisrn will corr-
tintinue to impose its heavy chains on the peo-
ple of Europe for a still longer period. It is
rumored, and even seriously asserted, that
France is to be remunerated ‘for‘lrer services
to Spain, by the possession ‘of some of the
'Spani.slr ‘colonies, for which purpose a large
forceis to be sent out to reduce tlrern'to obedi-
ence. But England would never be so uri-
mindful ofhcr interests, as to permit the vast
and iircrcasiug markets of South America to
be closed to her commerce and manufactures,
while she has it in her power to prevent it:
and it iscorifidenily thought that war would
inevrtalrly he the consequence of such an at-
tempt on the part ofthe European alliance.-—
England in the mean time, is losing her influ-
‘ence on the Continent, the. necessary conse-.
quence of the present state of affairs. With
the exception ofthe king ofthe Netherlands,
who is, no doubt, disposed tofavor the views
‘ of England, this country meets no friendly
feeling among the rulers of the continent.
Until the period ofthe overthrow of Napo-
’leon, England was the animating spirit that
kept together every cozilitiou ; but when their
object was effected, and the power of'f\'apole-
on was prostrate, the ministers of -England
took no precautions tosccure for her those
fruits which her exertimis had so mainly cori-
tributed to perfect, and which her lavish ex-
penditures so frilly entitled her to demand :
being considered by Lord Castlereagh as un-
wnrtlry of his notice, they Werethrowu, with
:1 liberal lrantl, into the lap of the continental
sovereigns. Russia and England are uiutual-
.ly jealous of each other, and the people of
'.France entertain no seirtimcnts of good feel-
‘ ing towards the ‘ lianglrty islanders.’
The military pride of France was humbled
by the former campaigns in Spain,aiid receiv-
«ed its final blow on the field of Waterloo ; be-
sides thc debt of gratitiusle, wlttch Lewis ac-
knowledged ‘he owed to England for having
restored him to the throne of his ancestors:
These considerations have_ no tendency to
produce feeliirgs of good will on the part of
"Frenchmen towards England. On the con-
trary, the dispusitious of the two nations in
regard to caclr other, influenced as they have
been by the late events in Spain, are quite of
a «.i’rii'c-rent clraracter ; and but little would be
required, in case it should be thought neces-
sary, tokindle a spirit of mutual animosity.-'
England however, at the present moment, is’

raised us in the estiiiiatiori both of England

cy is restored to the standard of gold, in which
inet-al the interest of her debt is now paid to
her fund holders; while her finances, her
connnerce and her manufactures are in a most
flodrislilng condition. Her system of agri-T
culture has greatly improved ; her taxes have
been reduced; her trade is increasirig, and
her manufactures, in most instances are sold,
t‘.h'ei_ip'er than those of other nations. The
population of England at the present moment
is nearly all employed '; while in coiisequence
ofthe low price ‘of articles, as well of neces-
sity as of corivenienee,toge‘tlrer with the cheap-'
ness of provisions geirerally, (not excepting
bread stuffs, in spite qfher corn laws) the poor-
~ er classes have it nowin their power to enjoy
-a greater portion of tlrecomforts oflife than
perhaps they were ever enabled to do before.
I cannot, tlrerefore, adopt the opinion sup-
posed to exist in France, that England ab-
stained from going-to war on the side of Spain,
from her inability to meet the expense. VVith-
out, however, entering upon the qr.iestion,
wlis-iher another protracted struggle could be
maintained by England, withouta recurrence
to a system ofpaper currency, and all its cori-
sequences, I must. say, upon the whole, that
after a coinparison of her present situation,
with that in which she stood after the peace
ofl8l5, Iain induced to think more high-
ly of the duration and extent of her power
and resources. A

, Englandgat the ‘present moment, certainly
feels wcll disposed towards America. During
the contest bc'tw'een this country gnd Napole-
on, oiir country was thought of but little con-
sequence, by either party. England envied
us the advantages we derived from our neu-
tral situation’; and it was the policy ofFrance,
[0 force us into ‘a w'ar with Great Britain,
while our rights were trampled upon by both
helligerents. O'r‘ir war brought u‘s into no-
tice, ‘and as its progress developed, in. some
r'espe'cts, our national character, its result has

and the ‘contirrenr. The continental powers

regard us as the rival of England, while she

herself feels a disposition to coiiciliate the

good will, and secure the esteem of a power,

whose conrnr‘cr"ce ‘is advaritageoiis, if not es-

sential to her ; whose growing importance is

too apparent to be overlooked, and whose en-

mity, experience has taught her, is to be held

in no light estimation ; and with whom, in the

present state of the affairs of the contineirt,

she no doubt wishes to cultivate the strictest

friendship. This disposition,lrowever, isiuere-

ly the result of policy, and should not lull us

into a blind and fatal security. There irxflnd

rrférglcesaity‘ must lire a lui‘lting feelfinlg ofenvy

air iscontent, w lE‘llEVrl’ some 0 t re events

of our late war are broug'lrt to recollection:

and zrltliougli she may be disposed to give

credit to theggallantry ‘and skill of her enemy.

her naval pride has received a wound wlriclr

time iiray sear over, but can never entirely

heal, and which, we may be assured, she tie-

ver can nor ever will forget.

Mr. Canning, lam iirduced to think, has

changed the opinion he once entertained of
us. He no doubt, sought the occasion ofthe

dinner at ‘Liverpool to express his sentiments

on the subji.-ct of Ainerica; and I have every

reason to believe, speaking of him always as

a politician, that lie honestly felt what he

spoke: and be assured, his speech, together

with "the manner and tone in which it was re-

plied ‘to by Mr. Hughes, lrasproduccd no lit-

tle effect, not only among the-people at large,

but'in ‘the higher circles of a country where

the language ofthe minister ofthe day is ne-

ver without its influence. Mr. Canning is

rendering lriinself extremelv popular—-his tal-

ents are tlroriglrt to be superior to those of the

late Lord Castlereagh, and he has credit for
possessing more of the old liberal ‘English

feeling, as it istermcd, than his predecessor.
The toire in which America is now spokeu'ol'
'iri=Errgland is evidently changed from what it
was when I was last in this country; they

know us better as a nation, and respect us
more asindiviiluals: and although there is
still a wish (pcrhapsn natural wish) to assume
a superiority over our country, in polished so-
icicty,‘tlre coinforts and luxuries of life, and
general amcuity of mariners, there is still an
apparent respect,‘antlpccasional good feeling
slrewn on the subject of Amerrca,by the more
liberal portion ofthe corrnnirnitv,wlricb lwas‘
much pleased -to discover. Our comrnercial
relations, with Great -Britain are so liutirnatc,
as well as extensive, the siirrilarity trat exists
between the institutions and laws,aud in some?
respects between the feelings ofthe people of.
theicspective countries, is so great—-there is
so much-iii her commercial policy and inter-
nal regulatious, which, in some instances, we
might copy with advantage, and in others, it
should be our study to avoid, that there is no
nation with whom it is more important for ris
to becometliorouglrly acquaiuted,tlrat we may
neither ‘undervalue the consequences of her
enmit nor over-rate the value of her friend-

. Y’ .
ship. A war between the two countries seems,
at present, to be far distant; but the time,
must, sooner or later, arrive, when we must
again contend with her on that element over
which she has so long held exclusive domin-.
ion. Already we have eucroaclred upon her
,plreroga_it|v‘cl—erp long. werslhall, probagly,
s rare wit rer t re empire 0 tie seas; an e-'
ventually, in the fulness oftime, if we are on-?
ly true to ourselves, the Sceptre nrust, in the
natural course of things, fall from her hands
into those of her descendants.

In literature, England still maintains, to a
certain degree, the supcriorty over us, which
she has so long claimed: keeping in view the
relative population of the two countries, gen-
eral knowledge iriav be considered as more
diffused through the U. States,tlran England;
but shp‘p0sses’ses a greater number of literary.
men. I he writings of our couutryman,\Vaslr-
iugton Irving, have acquired coirsiderable ce-
lebrity, and secured for their author very great‘
popularity. His works are generally read
and admired ; his style is approved, while
the manirer in which he speaks of England
could not fail to please. The Spy was also
Well received, and although not quite so res-'
pcctlul to England as ‘ Bracebridgc Hall,’ its
Il)lel‘(‘St:ll'«lS obtained for it no small share of
popularity in the most fashionable circles of
this country.

Among politicians, iMr. Brougham seems,
upon the whole, to be considered, at present,
the most promrnentmaii in England. He Is
not tlrought to be a very able parliamentary
leader, nt-ulrer has he cretlit fo.r being a very
profourrd lawyer; but he is almost universal-
-ly admitted to be a man of enlarged under-
standing—of most extensive inforination-of

GEOL'OG'Y.——Tlii's,i,s', er dc'sc'rip't'ion ofthe

structui‘e oftlie earth. This study may be di-
vi'tl‘ed iiit'o"two parts, oliservatiori and theory ;
by the first we learn the ‘relative positions of
the great rocky or iiriueriil, aggregates that
composetlre crust of our globe; tlrrougli the
second we entletivor to penetrate ii'ito the can-
ses of those collocations. The materials of
which the crust of our earth is composed, ap-
pear to be arranged in strata ofdifl'erent kinds
called formations in the language ofgeolugy.
These formations are divided into five clases ;
first,-primitive rocks; second, transition rocks;
third, floetz rocks; fourth, alluvial rocks; and
fifth, volcanic rocks. It is a curious fact, that
organic, vegetable, and animal remains are
scattered through some of these formations.
Shells, corals, ferns, flags, re€ds, large trunks
of plains, now smingers to our globe, are dis-
covered among the different substances which
make up the second formations. The primi-
tive rocks lie tuidermost,and never contain a-
iry organic remains. The vegetable and ani-
iual petrifactions are not irrcgrilarly disposed
through the secondary formations, but dispo-
sed in fzuirilies, each formation containing an
association ofspecies peculiar,iii nrany instan-
ces, to itself, widely differing from those of
other 'f_ormations, and acconrpaiiyiug it thro’-
out its whole course, so that at two distinct
points on the line of the same formation, we
are sure of ureetmg the satire general assem-
blage Qf fossil remains. If we cast a hasty
glance over the phenomena of this distribu-
tion, the subject must appear to present sortie
ofthe most singular problems which can en-
gage the attention ofthe irrquirer into nature.
Sometimes are found shells merely preserved
(not petrifiecl,) and in such a state, that when
the sand or clay in which they lie is washed
off, they might appear to be i-_ecerit,liad they
not have lost their colour aiul become brittle.
In the strata which cover the chalk, we. find
beds ofmariue shells alternating with others
peculiar to fresh water, so that they seem to
have been deposited by ‘reciprocating inunda-
tions of fresh and salt water.’ The remains
of land animals arelikewise met witlr,sucli as
the '_bon‘es,8I.c. of the iirastodou,eleplrarrt,bear,
elk, lryeuas, and others,straugcrs to the coun-
tries where they are fouird, yet associated, in
these remains, ‘with many at present occupy-
ing the same countries.
From the occureiice ofthe marine remains
lately noticed, occupying, as they do, rocks
spread over two-thirds of the surface of every
part of our coutineirt wliicb has been explo-
red, and rising to lriglrest situations, even to
the loftiest smiririits of the Pyrennees,and still
more elevated poiirts on the Audes,it is an in-
evitable irrfereirce, that the greater part of
these continents have not only "been covered
by the ocean, but forured of iiiaterials collect-
ed within its bosom. The great and funda-
mental problem, therefore, of theoretical geo-
logy, is to assign adequate causes for the
change of level in this ocean, which has per-
mitted these masses,that once formed the bot-
tom ofits channel, to rise in hills and moori-
tains above its waves. Either a diminution
of the quantity of water has occurred, or a
clraiigeoflevel has been ‘produced by some‘a-
geney or other. It has been ascribed to vio-
lent convulsions,which have either heaved up
the present continents, or repressed the pres-
ent channels of the ocean. In support of the
hypothesis which ascribes air iurportarit part
to volcanic agency in modifying the surface
of our planet, -the following plausible argu-
irrents might be adduced :

1. It'must'be kept in view, that the object is
to assign an adequate cause for the undoubted
fact ofthe emergence ofthe loftiest mountains
ofthe coirtinent; and tlurt,wlren so mighty air
effectis to be accounted fur,tlre mind must be
prepared to adiiiit,without being start'led,cau-
scs of a force and energy greatly exceeding:
those with which we are acqrrainted from actu-r
al observation. ‘

2. The broken and disturbed state, and in-
clined positiou of the strata composing those
continents, many of which must have been at’
the time of their original formation horizon-
tal, indicate, as we have seen, that orre,at least‘
of the causes operating to effect this great.
change of relative level between the laiul and,
waters, was the elevation of the former by ine--
clianical force. '

8. Tire only agent with which we are cori-
versant,wlrose operation bears any proportion
to the effects above specified is the volcanic
energy, which still occasionally forius new isl-‘
ands, and elevates new mountains.

4. ‘There is certain proof that volcanic a-
gency was "formerly iirucli more active than at
iresent.

'5. Ifwe allow the trap rocks to be of volca-
nic origin, and admit the effects above recor-
ded, there is scarcely a country which has not
been a prey to the ravagesof this powerful
principle.

6. The ‘question will undoubtedly present
itself, whatis the originof volcanic action?
And sufficient proof exists that this source is
deeply sealcol beneath the lowest rocks with
which 0111' examination of the cartli’s surface
makes us acquainted. '

7. The very iiuportant recent discoveries
with regard to the increased temperature iro-
ticed in descending deep miries,2'sLc. bylilessrs.
Fox and Fourrier, will if further confirmed,
prove that soirre great source ofheat exists be-
neath the earth’s crust.

8. A degree ofpresrunption maybe thought
to derivefrom these consitleratioiis, that this
crust rests on a heated nucleus,tlre true source
of volcanic energy. If this nucleus be in a
fluid state, its undulations would account for
the convulsions that have affected the crust,
and at the same time afford a reason for the
figure of the globe."

9. On this supposition, we should at once
perceive a reason why the effects of the vol-
canic force may .liave been more violent in
early periods, while that mass of deposites
which now covers the supposed volcanic nu-
cleus, was-but graduallyforming,-than at the
present time. i

10. It must be remembered, that one ofthe
essential conditions oftlietheoryzrbove sketch-
ed,is the operation of volcanic agency beneath
the pressure of -the ocean: and it does not

med in the bosom ofthe deep.

Not only has ‘the earth been exposedito the
fury o'fv'olcanoes, but its appearance has also
been altere'd bya deluge. This flood ha's wash-
ed nruclr d'ir't,-gravicl,‘&.c. from place to place,
which has accumulated here and there, form-
ing what is called, in allusion to this great (ra-
tastrophe, cliluvium. The organic remains ‘of
land animals dispersed through this di-Iuvial
ground, ‘may be. refered to races extinguished
by the great convulsions which formed the
gravel. To the saiiieperiod may we ascribe
those bones found in caverns. Professor Buck-
land appears to have proved this was tliecase
in the remarkable cavern lately discovered
near Kirby, Eng. Here the remains in grea-
test abu'ndanc'e are those of Hyenas ; with
these are mingled fragments of various anim-
als, from the Marniirorli to the water-rat.
Probably the, Hyeuas had partially devoured
even the boiies of their prey,and dragged
them to tlieirdeirs. Caverns containing bones
ofa similar class have been found near Svan-
sea. at Hatton-hill and near Plynrouth.

./Qnccdate of Gcnerai J(zck’son.-—-A few days
since, when at Fredericksburg; Va. on his way
to VVashington, a small boy, about eight years
of age, and who was named after him, sooiiaf-
ter the glorious cightli ofJanuary, 1815, was
introduced to the General as his ir:rniesake.—
He took him in his arms and kissed him ; their
putting his hand oirlris head, said, ‘God bless
‘you, my dear little fellow: be a good boy:
‘learn your book; and be always ready to
‘fight the eueuiies ofyorir country.’ Then,
taking oirt of his purse a fifty cent coin, and
presenting it to him, he continued: ‘ Here is
‘ the Eagle ofyour courury—ircver desert it!
‘ VVear this next your lreart, and remember
‘me.’ The scene was striking; and the im-
pression tirade on the boy will be lasting. It
will influence his future life- He wears it
round his neck, and it isthe envy ofall his
sclroolfellows. The little fellow is already a
thorough Jac/rsonite, and says he will go to
Waslririgloir, when Jackson is President, and
shew it to him, in the Presitleiit’s House.

of which there is a commercial loss, on 200

100 any ‘considerable profit—700 are forgot-
ten within the year, other 100 in two years—
other 150 in three years—not more than 50
survive seven years, and scarcely 10 are tlio’t
