Bank United States, July I, 1822.
To the Stockholdert of th,' Bank of the ('nited
.Stater.
I conceive it to be mv duty to announce
•o you, at this time, tliat I intend, at the
ei d of the present year, to retire from the
station with which you ha» e honored me.
For reasons which it wouM be useless, if
not impertinent to mention here, it was
my desire to have done so very si.on after
I entered opnn the duties m the office.—
Rut I owed it to you and to the country,
which was deeply concerned in the fate
of the Bank, to hold thi station until I
could surrender it under circumstances
which would enable you deliberately and
with a lull knowledge of tho situation of
the institution, to choose a successor,
and until the bank should be placed in a
state in which a change could be mkde
with safety, and without alarm. There
is, in my opinion, no longer any thing in
the situation of it which can make a
change difficult, or injurious to the in
terest of the Bank, and therefore no duty
on my part to forbear the gratification ol
a wish I have long anxiously indulged.—
My determination to retire is fixed and
unchangeable, and I have therefore given
this early and public notice of it, that
yon may have full time for the selectiou
of a fit person to succeed me.
You will, on the' second of September
next, have an opportunity of investig.it
ing the affairs, and becoming fully ac
quainted with the situation of the bank.
You will then, too, have an opportunity of
(inferring with each other on the seiec.
of my successor; and to give the freer
and fuller scope to your choice, I will re
sign my office a few days before th* next
election of directors, in order that, should
you wish to select any member of the pre
sent board, who may have aerved three
terms in succession, hid therefore not he
e eligible unless he be President at the
time, you may use your influence to have
him previously elected to tlut office, und
thus rendered re eligible.

UPPER NILE, Itc.
Extract of a letter from an American gentle
man to his father in Boston, dated Malta,
April 16, 1822.
" By my last, (June 20, 1820.) you
knbw that I was on the point of accom
panying Ismael Pacha to the conquest or
the countries on the Upper Nile. The
expedition was crowned with the most
complete success, and has laid open to
the knowledge of the world a superb
country, ami will occasion no small ac
quisition to the Geography of Africa. I
cannot, in the compass of a letter, which
[ nm obliged to make a short one, inform
ycu of my adventures in this romantic and
fortunate expedition. My journal of it
has heen sent to England for publication,
and copies of it may possibly reach Ame
rica in two months. I have had the ho
nour of having contributed to the success
of a most extraordinary expedition, which
has beeo singularly successful, and of be
ing the first civilized mao that was ever
on the Ranks of the Great Raltir el Abiad,
which we have ascertained to be the main
branch of the, Nile, and probably the Ni

••It would be Hie uxtrenietil dising- i «>,
ty to forbear expressing on toch an on*.
*>ion fir opinion that the ct'raUon of o-
intperiel gnvtrmnet.t in Meiirn, is an «*•
currence that calls lor (he moat serious at.
lention of the United State ; and we shall
be very explicit in what we hive to sav
on tha subject, because we know it will
come under the eye of the eminent char
acter who is tuost conspicuoua in the
event. There may not he that danger
from the imperial regime, under the pre
sent occupant of that station ; nor it it
in fact that the form in ,1/Aric# corres
ponds with the form of the same denomi
nation in Europe. The title of emperor
iti Mexico is obnoxious from the idea of
absolute d, spot ism, with winch it is associ
ated in European and Asiatic idiom. In
Mexico so far it is no inoce in fact than
the title of president; und being associat
ed with an-elective representative legis
lation, will be in fact only a mist monar
chy or an extended aristocracy will a
clitef. It is the issue tliat is to be appre>
bended—the present chief Augustin Ytur
bide, so late as the 8th of May last
made the unsought declaration, which he.
had so often made before, that he had
determined deliberately and irrevocably
to follow the great example of the illus
trious Washington ; and when order anti
constitutional government should be re
stored to retire to his estate, in the char •
actrr of an untitled private citizen.
*• So far then the danger is in some tU-
greo removed of an empire placed be
tween the republics of the north and soikh
of the new world ; but who can forese*
the character, or anticipate the disposi
tion ot a future successor? We think
it fit to state these sentiments, and to say
that, in our opinion, the only forms of go
vernment adapted to the new world, arc
constitutional, equal and representative,
and divested of titles that carry otliuox
from the analogy which thojHiear to the
despotisms of Europe and Asia. *
CLAIMS UNDER THE LATE SPA
NISH TREATY.
The Board of Commissioners undefthe
lat# Spanish Treaty adjourned today, uf
ter a laborious session of three weeks, un
til the second Tuesday in October next.
We have gathered* from a friend, ia
whom we have entire confidence, ami
whose opportunities of forming a correct;
opinion of the merits and indefatigable
labors of the Commissioners at their late
session, a lew facts, which, in justice to
the Board, we publish, as they have re
cently suffered some sharp attacks from
different quarters of the uuion, peumd
probably ou very partial information.
The diligence, wariness, and talent of
this forum us evinced by its decisions,
many ot which involve important princi
ples of international law, and an accurate
and rare knowledge of the local and mu
nicipal regulations uf other countries, fur
nish a strong protection of the fund in.
favour of real losses, against groundless
and overcharging claims. At the present
session all cases, which hid been suspend
ed for reconsideration and further argu
ment, have been determined. Of thes®
tii* class of contracts between American
citizens aud the government of Spaia and
her colonies, is of the largest amount. In
deciding that the treaty was designed to
embrace this kind of claim, the Board ha*
not not precluded itsell from opening any
settlement which may have been made
with the agents of Spain since the date of
the treaty, nor determining the legnlitr
and bonnjides of the contract, as viewed
in relatiim to the obligations of neutrals
to belligerent nation*. In union with this
subject, it has also decided that a foteigtx
domiciliation of a native ciliton, either at
the time the claim arose, or at the dale of
the treaty, incapacitates the claimaul t«
participate in the fund.
The licence cases so edited, have beoa
considered, and the Board adhered to its
first determination, holding that the sei
zures were not unlawful. In some of
these cases, however, where Spain bad
remitted the forfeitures ami ordered a
restoration ot tho property to tho real A-
merican owners, the Bond remitted 1 'tlm
claims under the " Fifth Rcnunciati&th'*
whet# suen proceeding* had taken pLct
«s brought them within its provisions.
The priti' cases gave rise to a most
able, learned, and interesting discussion.
A majority of the Commission v*a* in fa
vour of their reception where an exclude
property in the prize could be a s <d
by tu lividuaU, hut where such p>-«. t >ery
vested in the United State* ci the fc.st
instance, they were rejected.
Cases which had been proved bef re
the Comnmsioners under the Louisiana
Treaty, hut not fully compensated, al
though, if they had not been so proved,
they would have been good claims, wer«t
rejected.
Several other judgments were proopunc*
ed affecting individual claims.
The activity of American commerce,
every where ami at ail time# a victim of
the wart and revolutions which have div
tracted the last quarter of a century, has
accumulated an immenve amount of claim*
before the Board, and renders its duties
extremely aiduous. Notwithstanding th*
number of rejected caves, it is understood
the amount ol claims which are received m
about seventeen millions ol dollar*. Th*
great disproportion between this suns
and the fund appropriated by Spain, kg*
already excited an anxious vigilance and
laudable jealousy, is those who have the
distribution of it, tr guard ag-in-t imposi
tion. Such a disposition affods the
highest assurance that none bet genuine
and well aupported claims willb-* finally
allowed.—No one cau well doubt, how.
uer, that the fund will t 4 far short of
rail indemnity lot the !-<*»e* of our cil.
