.of -wU; States} arrdmpanied wjjh the
txpieasiuo of their hope 'and desire, that tliiWorn
njonOealtb rnay be immediately arknowlrdgedand
protected, by the government c»l the U. State*, as
, .**Iniegnl part of the American Union. On i‘
*uhjeft»o interesting tu the community represented
C by us, it i» necessary that we should have the most
, direct and unequivocal assurances of the views and
wishes of the American government without delay,
- aince our weak andonprotected situation will oblige
// si to look to someforeign government for support,
. abopld it be refused to us, by the eountry which we
..have fnnsidered as our parent state. "
We therefore make this direct appeal through you,
-/•to the President at»d General Government of the
American States, to solicit that immediate protec
lwhich tikrnnsider ourselves entitled; and in’
a speedyand favourable derision, we offer
the following considerations :—lat.The government
. of the U. Slates. in their instructions to the envoys
, extraordinary at Pans, in March, 1806, auth.iiised
. the pure has* of Edit Florida, directing them at the j
■j 6ame time to engage France to infcycede with the
. cabinet of Sp<mfe to relinquish any claim to the
/, territory wbiclr now forms this commonwealth.
it. In all diplomatic correspondence with American
ministers abroad, the government of the U. States
have spoken of West /Florida as a part of .the Lou
^ tsiana cession*. They havs legislated for the coun
., try as a part of their own territory, and have de
./ ferred to take possession of it, in expectation that
-Spain might*be induced to relinquish her clfeiin by
amicable negcciatiun. 3d. The American govern
ment bus already refused to accredit any minister
; 'from,tbe Spanish Junta, which body was certainly
-more legally organised, as the itpresentalive of
/ the sovereignty, than that now called the regency of
s Spain ; therefore the United States cannot but re
/ gard any.force or authority emanating from tliem,
with gn intention to tiubjugate os, as they would
/ an iitppion of their territory by a foreign enemy.
< JJ’heqji»peror of France has invited the Spanish A
l/fnertcans to declare tbeir independence, rather than
^«#ain in subjection tothe old Spanish government;
. therefore an acknowledgement of our independence
shy the United States could not be complained of by
^FtyOfe, pr involve tbe American government in a
ny contest with that power. 5tb. Neither can it
afford any just cause of complaint to Great Britain,
although she lie, the ally ol Spain, that the United
’ States should acknowledge and support our indepen
dence; as this measure was necessary to save the
, Country- from falling into the h&d* of the French
..exiles from the island of Cuba, and other partisans
« of Buonaparte, who are th* eternal enemies ol
. Great Britain.
■ Should the United states be induced, by tpese or
^ .any other considerations, to acknowledge nor claim
v to their protection, as an integral part of their ter
,v ritory, or otherwise, we feel it our duty to claim for
our constituents an immediate admission into the
.. Union as an independent state, or as a territory of
. the U. States, with permission to establish our own
form of goternnient, or to be united with one of
the neighboring territories, or a part of one of them,
.jn such manner as to form a state. Should it be
. . 'thought pi ng*! to annex us to one of the neighbor
ing territoriefpor apart of them, the inhabitants
oi tiiis commonwealth would pt*»fer being annexed
fto the Island of Oileans, and in the mean while, un
. Ail a state govarment should be established, that
' they should be governed by the ordinances already
enactcd-by this convention, and by their further
gp^JEMulatinne hereafter.
^.j|g|Phe claim which we have to the soil, or unlocated
A lands, within this commonwealth, will not, 1i is
presumed, .be contested by the United States, as
they, have tacitly acquiesced in\he claim of France
. '.«m Spain for seven years, and the restrictions of
#£be several embargo and non-intercourse laws might
.fairly he cons true d^if notes a relinquishment of
^ .their claim; yet at least sufficient to entitle the
", people of this commonwealth (who have wrested the
government and country from Spaio, at the risk of
, : their, lives and fortunes) to all ihe unlocated lands.
It will strike the American government that the
. monies arising from the sales of these lands, applied,
;. as they will be, to improving the internal cnnmiuni*
IJt cations of the country, opening canals, &r. &c. will
i%fa< t beadduM to the prosperity and strength of
the federal mriS.
To fulfil wilSjjood faith our promises and en
- gageoieots to th# inhabitants of this country, it
. ^wii),be our duty to stipulate for an unqualified par*
• don for all deserters' now residing within this corn
s’. ntonwealtb, together with an exemption from fur
, thar service in the army or navy of the U. States.
A loan of 100,000 dollars is solicited of the Ame
jrican government, to be reimbursed at 3 6 and 9
years from the sales of public lands. This loan
fnay ba made by the secretary of the treasury imme
V4iat*ly, without committing the government or ma
j sing it known to foreign ministers at Washington.
Jn order not to embarrass the cabinet of the U.
..fitates, and to receive first,- thro’ their own eonfiden
t tial agents, their wishes and views with respect to
.lis, it is deemed prudent to defer the departure of
l j ear envoy, already. named, who will be despatched
> i Immediately on receiving information that such a
measure will meet the approbation of the President
jpf tho United States.
iyWe pray you to arcept.the assurance* of our rts
?- pact dnd high coueideiatioo.

Omnium is at present in every body's mouth,

each other. Some of the subscribers pay their
whole subscription at the time fixed for the first or

thought to have made a good bargain, then Omni

but when the reverse of this is the rase, as at pre

speak in the common language^of trade, tbe con
tractor must give a percentage to get it taken off his
