being are unfolding themselves beyond our expectation,
and—what ought to fill us with complacence, and even
with pride—that this is realising itself by establishing
system ddfidult and new on the basis qf knowledr.
“ The view of our relations with most foreign -fitates
is equally flattering and satisfactory with our internal
condition, and the Chambers have a prospect of fortune,
splendour, and greatness, which the powers of the Re.
public will consolidate by good faith, justice, and mo-
deration. England, the most powerful State of Europe
in respect to us, has acknowledged the independence of
Anahuac, and that nation, which living thousands of
leagues_from our shores, may yet be said to inhabit the
American Continent, and to border on our confines, has
~concluded on this basis treaties of amity, navigation,
and commerce, which have been duly submitted to the
Chambers, and now received their approbation. Such
an event, which will be one of the most memorable in
our history, increases the power and consideration of
the Republic ; and its example will not fail to be imi-
tated by ultra-marine Powers, who cannot, did they
desire it, do us harm, and whom we can benefit by
opening to them our markets under the same guarantee.
Perhaps some years will pass before a certain Power
will offer vi recognize us, and confess the legitimacy of
our emancipation, although that Power ought to have
been the first to anticipate it ; and although many op-
portunities have been presented for that purpose, de-
termined on self-destruction, and existing in a condition
of weakness and consumption, its eyes acqu re new
animation to direct against us their threatening looks.
But these paroxysms of fury will one day cease, and
when the epoch of reconciliation arrives— in epoch
which we desire no less for our good than for its own—
then it will acknowledge, that while its impotent rage
endeavoured todeprive us of liberty and its advantages,
we, on the contrary, were animated towards it with sen-
timents of moderation, benevolence, and generosity.
" Coming now to the American nations. I have to state that our
Plenipotentiary has already resided some time in Washington in
all the plenitude of diplomatic acknowledgment, while in a short
time the Plenipotentiary of the United States of the North, who
has already reached our territory, will reside in our capital. On the
same footing, the Ambassador of our sister Republic and Ally, the
warlike Colombia, remains amongst us, and, about to nominate, as
,con as possible,on our part, a Plenipotentiary, we have at present a
Charge d'Affaires in that Repubiic. The Minister of the United
States of Central America has some time ago presented his creden—
tials,and has been solemnly recognised in Mexico, while the hlexi.
can Government, on its part, has proposed to the Senate a reciprocal
mission to these States. Finally, a mission has set out to put us In
contact with the head of the Church; and desiring to lose no op-
portunity of promoting our improvement, youths have been ap-
pointed to devote themselves to the study of diplomacy, and some
pensioners from our Academy have been selected, who, by acquir-
ing the best tags in the fine arts, may be able to transplant them
into our Republic.
" But when speaking of our external relations, it is proper that
I should call the attention of the Chambers to an event which
naturally interests every American, which raises the feeling of their
power and dignity, and which, although it occurred in an isolated
point, must be considered as a domestic circumstance to all America.
In the plains of Ayacucho' the monster of tyranny has breathed
its last, and the power of the Peninsula has for ever terminated on
our Continent. Valour, constancy, and tried disinterestedness, are
the characteristics of that memorable day. An Army without
pay, a victorious force' incomparably less, a most obstinate and
i sustained resistance, ands rout the most complete and universal
which could be desired, present a model of republican heroism, and
a well-merited title to immortality for Sucre for his Army, and
fcr the Liberator. A treaty of alliance had already identified the
most essential interests, the fortunes and the destiny of Mexico and
Colombia ; and we have been in consequence invited to the assem-
bly of the Representatives of the American Republics, which is
soon to take plate, for the purpose of securing the establishment of
their general emancipation' and neutralizing the oppressive views
and projects of those who desire to extinguish among Americans
the feelings, nay, even the idea and the memory of liberty and in-
dependence.
" The time has therefore arrived, in which the nation may in-
dulge its pride, since it owes so much to its good sense and its good
feeling, and in which the Chambers may enjoy the purest pleasure
in seeing the happy issue of their labours, their zeal, and their exer-
tions for the public good. Much yet remains to be done to reach
the point at which the nation ought to atm. We are as yet only
sowing, but the soil is of the most fertile kind, and we have at band
moisture in abundance. With what satisfaction then, and with
what zeal ought the Powers of the nation to cultivate the precious
field which has been intrusted to them. For my part, and to con-
clude, I have the honour to recommend to the Legislative Hoy
the passing of several grave and important measures, which are
pending; and which benumb the course of Administration. In the
meantime the Government trusts that the interval of the recess will
be employed lit preparing and forwarding the labours of the com-
missions, that when the time of the meeting of the Chambers ar-
rives, they may resolve and consult, in the most expeditious man-
ner, to promote the advancement and felicity of the Republic, which
we all desire to see at its height as soon as possible."
