The London Star, a most intelligent and independent paper, has disproved, from the very terms of the report itself, the assertion that a treaty had been carried into effect under the mediation of Russia, binding the maritime powers to join in concert to effect the submission of the Spanish colonies.

We agree with that judicious print that any such interference would be gross impolicy; for we think that there is not in Euclid a proposition more demonstrable than this, that the liberation of South America would tend to the augmentation of the wealth of the nations of Europe more than any other that can happen. In effect the emancipation and independence of that rich portion of the globe would be more to the advantage of Great Britain herself than the possession of it in colonial tenure; and it would give a new and a permanent spur to the industry, the enterprise, and the intellectual pursuits of the whole civilized world.
