I The government of the U. S. has giv-
| on a sublime example of justice in the
solemn acknowledgment of the indepen
dence it sovereignty oftheStatesofSouth
America. That nation, the cradle of li
berty, has seen with satisfaction tFis act
so justly acquired hy policy and sound
reason, and the enlightened members of
its government, by this noble conduct,
have added a new lustre to the gloiy of
a free people and to themselves. An a-
gent from the U States at present re
sides in this capital, who has communicat
ed to tne the friendly sentiments of his
government and a desire to comtnenre &
consolidate an intercourse with (ho re
public. The executive h is hastened to
teslifv our sentiments through the means
of a Minister Plenipotentiary, thereby
preparing for onr future negociatious.
With the European Rowers we have
endeavoured to commence some diplo
matic relations, reduced at present to
obtain from them an explicit acknow
ledgment of our national sovereignty.—
Among some of tlie most respectable an-
! j linns, onr cause seems to have acquire?
government would have been enabled on
Ibis occasion, to announce Die entire li
berty of (lie department of Zuela.
As for tnyself, gentlemen, I have had
only to comply with the vvill of the na
tion ; to the rigid observance ofthe laws,
I have sacrificed projects of utility am!
convenience, firmly persuaded that our
submission to llietn is never more neces-
ary than at the first period uf the estab
lishment of a political government, and
that no one ought to show n greater ro
ped to them than the person placed at
the head of the government, if circum
stances have obliged me to exercise the
extraordinary faculties conceded to me
hy tile constitution, my intentions have
never tended towards the use of them a-
gainst the political liberty of’lhe nation,
or the individual rights of the citizen—
our foreign enemies, and tho internal
tranquility, have been the two only ob
jects to which I have directed the exer
cise of these faculties. In testimony of
this assurance, I can invoke the voices
of all the inhabitants of Colombia. The
Franco, imported into the United Slates in ,
French vessels, shall pay an additional duty
of tlireo dollars and seventy-five cents per
toil of Merchandise, aeoording lo tho tenor
the noble work of twelve years' satri- j Their acts, relative to onr trade and
Sees, and be received by the people I neutrality, have acknowledge us as a fix-

meren between the United Stales St Franee, nerul Congress, and l audable the motives [ faith and justice are the firm guides of

over and above the duties collects
like, articles, also of the growth, produce, or
manufacture, of France, when imported in
vessels of the United States : Provided cil-
toin/.s, That no discriminating duty shall be
levied upon the productions ofthe soil nr in
dustry uf France, imported in French bot
toms, into the ports uf tile Untied States, fur
transit or re-exportation.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That,
from and alter the expiration of two y
fill—that Congress was scarcely able |
to trace the path in which the future le-1
gislatures were to tread with security.— t
1 he executive will present lo Congress,
through its respective organs, the infor- j
mation and materials which time and cir-j
cumstances have permitted it lo collect, |
and you gentlemen, selecting what is the j
best calculated to advance the happiness 1
from thesaid thirtieth (lay of September last, I of the nation, will have a vast field for
the fulfilment of your oaths and the ex
ercise of your duties.
The Government of Colombia lias o-
iti case ofthe continuance in force of the said
Convention, and so long as the same shall
nontinue in force, the extra duties, specified
in the second section of this act, shall, from
and after the said thirtieth day of Septem- , ,
her one thousand eight hundred and twenty-, 0l,r struggle with Spam, ill a manner lie-
four, be diminished by one-fourth of their corous to both nations, anil mutually ad-
whiile amount ; and, afterwards, by one-1 vautageous. Idle government Inis not
respect the laws of alt states, their right
and those of their respective individuals.
Such will for ever be the enmiuefcof Ihe
Colombian government and its citizens,
—thus they will live in peace, and on
good understanding with the u hole world.
It is a matter of infinite satisfaction to
me, that in the course of my administra
lion, on the establishment of a new and
delicate understanding, no disagreeable
questions have arisen to iuterrupt the
harmony we maintain with all nations.
H. M. Faithful Majesty, the King of
Portugal, has opened the way in Europe,

innate courts in his early years, and tu have
seriously written upon the subject, when Se

leged emir of Crawford with the various
ti nusgrcH.sions of Adams, would be a mon
strous abuse of logic, or common sense.—
So difi'ci eul are in degree or in duration, that
it would be truly magnet aimponere parris,
to compare great tilings with small—a giant
w ilh a dwarf.
I remarked it as a very singular circum
stance in my travels, that the partizans of all
the others were more bitterly opposed to
Air. Crawford, than to any other candidate.
Toward him, they were steady and invete
rate in tln-ir opposition. “So that wo can

science, to satisfy a muilett guest.”

or is it that lie runs so far before the rest in
the public opinion, that all their friends unite
in the vain i Hurt of di-.paiaging his pretensi
ons arid opposing his success? I could not
but perceive al least a very strong analogy,
between the present ease uf Mr. Crnvvfoid—
and the former case of our republican polar
