the Representatives of eneformal invitation given tLe
national executive authority by the Stipteme Govern=
►ent of the Republic of Pero, acting in concert nit!)
th t of Colo's:Ilia, to send, °a the Na of the United
Provinces of t fro de la Plata, two Mini:ters Pleni-
po:entiary to the Congress of all the States of the Ame-
rican Confiners:, convened at the Isthmus of Panama.
The commurfcations of the Goverment of Colombia
indicate some of the objects of that Assembly, and by
the context of that from Peru, it may be perceived that
an idea is entertained of establishing an authority which
shotvd preside over the Confederation of the American
States, guide their foreign policy, and accommodate'
the differences which might arise among the confede-
rates themselves. A similar plan was once before pro-
posed to the Government of the Province of Buenos
Ayres, then charged with the administration of the
foreign affairs of the nation. The reasons which then
induced us to refuse our consent to the proposal have
not been weakened by subsequent events.
" The major part of the Republics have decided in
favour of the Assembly of the abovenamed Congress,
land it appears that they intend to instal it in its func-
tions within the present year, more particularly as they
consider it as the most efficacious means of assuring the
internal tranquillity of each State, the harmony of their
relations with each other, and the security of all against
the common enemy. _ _

TbeN tional Executive authority, however, are not
of that oviii:on, but they are, nevertheless, of opinion
that it would not, under existing circumstances, be ad-
visable to appear in a state of positive dissension with
the other Republics. On the other hand, the respect
due to the opinion of those will have decided in favour
of the plan and objects of the Congress of Panama, ha'
for a time had the effect of engaging the attention of
Government, and it has thought that on no occasion
was it ever more necessary than on the present, tho-
roughly to make manifest, in the first place, the vehe-
ment desii e which animates the Republic of the United
Provinces of the Rio de la Plata to strengthen the -r
friendly relations with the.other Repub:ics of the Con-
tinent, and make them mo e intimate and durable ; and
in the second place, in oi.ler to attain that object, to
adopt a perfectly frank. conduc-, and to express clearly
and sincerely to the allied Republics those means which
it considers best adapted to the end of strengthening
their power against foreign tritmies, and of establishing
an indissolubie alliance amongst them, founded on the
community of principle, essential to the pelf-talon of
social order, and to the progressive and simultaneous
prosperity of each and all of them.
" It is in consequence of these considerations that the Govern-
ment submits the sulvined Project of Law fur the approval of
the General Congress.
" The Government salutes the Senores Representatives with the
highest respect.
