Extract
In a letter to Hookham Frere, on January 8, 1825, Canning spoke of the recognition of Mexico and Colombia as 'an act which will make a change in the face of the world almost as great as that of the discovery of the continent now set free. The Allies will fret; but they will venture no serious remonstrance. France will fidget; but it will be with a view of hastening after our example. The Yankees will shout in triumph; but it is they who lose most by our decision.
