A close and eternal bond unites the four Re publics of Colombia, Guatimala, Mexico, and Peru.— All of them make mutual tenders of assistance against foreign oppressors, and against those who desire to usurp the rights which they have recovered. To preserve perfect equality, chance has decided the Presidency, and the same means has been employed in determining the order of the signatures. The names of their Excellencies Senores Pedro Goal, Minister of State and of Foreign Relations of Colombia ; Antonio Larrazabal, Peniten tiary of the holy cathedral church of Guatemala; Don Manuel Lorenzo de Vidaerre, President of the Supreme Court of Justice of Peru, and decorated with the medal of those who have deserved well of their country; Den Jose de Michelena, Brigade-General of the armies of Mexico; Pedro Briceno Mendez, Brigade General of the armies of Colombia, and of the liberators of Vene zuela, and of Cundinamarca ; Pedro Molino, Plenipo tentiary of central America ; Don Manuel Perez Tudela, Fiscal of the Supreme Court of Justice of Peru ; and Don Jose Dominguez, Regent of the Tribunal of Justice of Guanajato, will always be repeated with st.pect, as the noblest defenders of our liberty and independence. Blessed by the GOD of Justice, who, in recompense for our labours and our slavery, has for ever secured to us the means of being happy. Don Manuel Lorenzo de Vidaurre, President of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Peru, our Minister Plenipotentiary to the Great American Diet, thus ad dressed their Excellencies the Ministers Plenipotentiary of the other States: 4 " The inhabitants of the Americas, who have been Spaniards, will cover themselves with eternal infamy in the eyes of all known nations, it they do not promulgate laws so wise, so equitable, and so just, as to secure their present happiness, and that of their descendants for many generations; Restored to the state of nature, free and independent, in perfect prissession of all their rights, enjoying the gifts which the sublime AUTHOR of all has bestowed on them, they ate more perfect than in the times bordering on the creation. Then man could not be prudent, because he had no experience ; he could not guard against evil, because he did not know it; he could not enjoy himself because he. had not felt the con trast of pain and pleasure. Now, in the use of his most perfect faculties, he distinguishes what is just from what is unjust ; what is useful and agreeable from what is pernicious and offensive; what is secure from what is dangerous; the enjoyment of moderate pleasures, which are perpetual, front intense gratifications, which are only moment try. The overthrow of a thousand empires ; the flow and theebb of wealth in all parts of the known wotld ; the destruction of some cities, and the elevation of others; the greatness and the decay of States—all these are lessons by which we may profit—all these are rules which present themselves for our present guidance. " • Among the many physical, nuital, revolutions which historians relate, and . pPosophers examine, ours has no example. Dynasties succeeded each other in China from the time of Fo-hi till the Tat tars took poftession of the throne. The Epptiaas . 4 'Oar situation, however, is still more advantage ous. We possess, in pictures perfettly drawn, the errors and the knowledge—the virtues and the vices of sixty two ages. The union of the Swiss. the constancy of the Dutch, the prudence of the North Americans, the, atrocities of the French Revolution, the factions of the Belgic provinces, and even of our own, are so many images which we ought to have perpetually before our eyes, as examples to follow or to shun. TIA-day the Great American Congress, which is to be in adviser in great conflicts, a faithful interpreter of treaties, a mediator in domestic disputes, an agent in the forMation of our new rights with foreign States, is in- . vested with all those powers which are necessary tq fulfil the noble, grand, and striking object for which it has been convoked. All the precious materials haul been prepared beforehand. A whole world is about 19 look upon our labours, and to examine attentively our proceedings. From the first Sovereign to the most in , significant inhabitant of southern lands, there is no j)er son indifferent to our labours. This, perhaps, will be the last trial which will be made to ascertain if man:can be happy. Fellow Representatives, the fiell of glory, smoothed by Bolivar, San Martin, O'Higgins, Guade loupe, and many other heroes superior toliercules and Theseus, is open to us. Our names ate to be preserved in immortal honour or eternal disgrace. Let us raise ourselves, then, above a thousand millions of inhabitants: let a noble pride elevate oar spirits, giving ne a resem blance to GOD himself, on that day on which he gave . the first laws to the universe. " Fired with a Divine enthusiasm, and fixing my eyes on the AUTHOR of all worlds, the greatest difficulties appear to me trifling. Few, but solid, are the founda tions on which our confederation rests. Peace with. the world—respect to the Governments established in Eu ropean countries, even when they are diametrically op posite to that which has been adopted in America—a free commerce with all nations—and a great diminution of duties in favour of those who have recognized our independence—religious toleration fer those who ob serve rites different from those which we have received for our partictilar constitutions—such are the bases of our union. Thirty-three millions of victims sacrificed by fanaticisM, from the time of the Jews to the present age, should teach us to be humane, pacific, and indulgent to those who pursue a different path from ours. Let the be, foreigner come, and whatever be his worship, he w i ll received, respected, and protected, if his morality, which is true religion, does not belie that which was taught by our SAVIOUR. Let them be our masters in agricul ture, and in the arts—let the dismal countenance of the' African, oppressed by chains and power, disappear from our fields. Let him see by his side a man of that colour, which is believed a sign of superiority—let him begin to be a rational being, perceiving that in nothing he is distinguished from other men. Immortal Pitt, eloquent Fox, interrupt for a moment your repose, raise your heads from the tomb, and be filled with admiration at observing, that the countries which were most distin guished for slavery are now those in which year phi lanthropic maxims are most venerated. " With respect to ourselves, we have two terrible rocks to avoid—the first is the desire of aggrandizement I of some States at the expense or by the Injury of others ; the second is the danger that an ambitious individual may arise to aspire at power by enslaving his brethren. I fear both cases as much as I despise the threats of the 'feeble Spaniards. We cannot extinguish passions, nor would it be proper to do so. One man is always sigh ing for distinction ; another is never contented with what he possesses ; another is unjust, and can we all at once inspire him with a love of justice ? Not till he has ' experienced the evils arising from the disorder of the passions; " Sully and Henry IV. projected a tribunal which might restrain in - Europe the first—namely, the desire of aggrandizement. In our days, Gondon wrote a treatise on the same subject. This Diet realises the laudable designs of the King and of the philosophers. Let us avoid wars, by bringing all our differences within file range of mediation. The effect of war is conquest. A State increases by reducing the power of the vanquished. Montesquieu said that which was—Dthosaire, that 66 4 I am not forgetful, that, in the retirement of the Escurial and of Aranjuez, projects ate formed for new expeditions. I think, however, the attempt impossible. The history of . Spain supplies me with proofs. Could either Philip H. or his son, or his grandson, subjugate Holland ? Could nap IV. recover Portugal ? Cctt Catalonia, another time, have been retaken by France? Has Gibraltar returned to the Spaniards? Has Jamaica been restored? The history of treaties may be called that of the surrenders of territory by Spain. What she gained at Pavia and Sr. Quintin, she lost by the trea ties at Vervins, Westphalia, the Pyrennees, Nimegueri, Aiz-la-Chapelle, and others that have occurred eown to the present time. If the Floridas could not hive been obtained by that of Paris, the North Americans would have procured their cession by force. " 4 Let us call to memory a few circum.tances. Philip IL consented that his troops should live by pillage, and excited:more and more the desperation of the Dutch. Charles 11. borrowed money at 1.5 per cent. and sold the Vice-royalties of Peru and Mexico to support the war. This was when the Kings of Silain never saw the sun set in their dominions—when they were obeyed without a murmur. What can they do now, when Spain is without Colonies, without internal union, and garrisoned by Frenchmen? I know very well how the expedition was formed which was destined against us, and which was broken up at Cadiz in 1820. In it were employed the indemnities procured from France, the privy purse of the King, and vie last resources f the State. Everything was drained for money. Veisels are now wanting, the last rotten ones have been sent to the Havannah. There are no arms, nor have the Spa °lards any disposition to come and die in these regiohs by the point of the lance, or the insalubrity of climate. It is not my intention to advise a reduction of oar forces. On the contrary, let us increase them by sea and had, but net for the purpose of allowing them to lie idle, or to keep them in their quarters. Let us give such a blow to this obstinate nation that may make it tremble. To hope that she will make peace with us is to expect the Masstart—is to remain eternally armed. Let us oblige our enemy to yield her temerity and ca prices. All Europe condemns her conduct. Not even the Princes of the House of B rurbon cur approve of it. No nation has an interest in the continuance of the war by Spain. The general desire is for peace. Without it commerce has not an uniform course, but is interruptei to the prejudice of industrious ant trading nations.— How different was the position of England when she reCognized the independence of the United States. Let the wise English lead the blind Spaniards. " ' While she resists the mediation of the Powers which protect us, let her fruits, her commodities, and every production of her soil or of her fabric be entirely prohibited. Let them be seized wherever they may be found, and let those lose their cargoes who may be convicted of having transgressed a law which we cannot rescind. Let the manufactures of Valencia and Barce lona be destroyed. Spaio will not manufacture when she has no vent for her productions. Let Ferdinand VII. be persuaded that if the denial of his recognition compels us to incur frightful expenses, by keeping Us armed, he likewise destroys the remaining wealth of his wretched kingdom, racked by discord, arid weighed down by the yoke of a foreign nation. " 'lf at any time he were accessible to reasons grounded upon rigorous justice—if he could persuade himself that he cannot recover what he could not main tain—if he can be convinced that he des not possess in Anierica eithei factions'or point's of support,' then 'the sensible Ameiican will express himself in a different way. -We shall never purchase our freedom. The name of freed men excites our horror. We are consti tuted into states, possessing rights equal to those held by Europeans. We 'have spontaneously united in society, and se are only subject to those compacts svhicb, in the eiercise of our judgment, se have formed. If Ferdinand recognizes those righti—if he enters into the generous reconciliation which is offered him, we shall forget the ?maltase calamities which be has caused as, and the day of the peace will be that of the most sincere union. It is only by violence, and in opposition to our character, that we continue the war. We shall terminate it with the most lively pleasure, when we can obtain peace'without dishonour. "' But, Gentlemen, this recognition is not the point which most interests us. Holland was rich a , d . torious before she was recognised. T re Swiss had formed alliances with the Sovereigns of Europe before their independence was acknowledged by the Hone of Austria. The existence of a state dees not defend upon its recognition—the latter only serves to open to it al liances. The being of a nation consists in its internal polilical organization. Let us hold to those rights which it is proper the whole world should she* to us. Let us guard our honour. Let as not admit foreigners who do nut come authorised in the tegulAr dipluamlie
