FROM THE LONDON MORNING CHRONICLE

The United States being the only republic in the world, will lead them naturally to favor any nation fighting for the avowed purpose of independence, but especially one geographically connected with them. And the desire which the United States has to extend her territories to the Gulf of Mexico, renders a war with Spain inevitable. The United States have to complain of numerous insults and injuries committed by Spain upon her commerce and her people. At the time of the war between America and Algiers, the former sent into Carthagena an Algerine frigate, which they had captured, when the commandant of the place ordered her off, stating that his Catholic Majesty would not interfere between the Americans and Algerines! The frigate was literally cut to pieces in her rigging and spars, and the American prize officer stated his inability to put to sea. The consequence was, that she was permitted to remain till a courier could be sent to the 'adorable' Ferdinand at Madrid, but before an answer was received, peace had been concluded between America and Algiers, and there the business dropped.

Again—The decoying of the American vessels into the port of Santa Martha, and then seizing the same for an alleged breach of the blockade, forcing the crews to march 200 and 300 miles without rest, and scarcely any food, and then imprisoning them. It is true, these men were afterwards given up, not from the justice, but the fears of the royal Spaniards.

Again—The seizing the person and papers of Mr. Meade, the commercial agent at Cadiz, who is now in prison.

These are reasons which the American government can urge for going to war, had she no more; but alas, poor Spain! the Firebrand will be thy ruin. A nation that has reared its head against 'Britain's ships and gallant seamen,' will, it is thought, hardly permit you to commit outrages on her coast against her citizens.
