his Excellency the Vice-President, intriisied with the es.v-
cutive power, in the presence of the other Secret 'ries of
State, Colonel I). Campbell, in quality of Chirke
d'Affaires from his Britannic Majesty the Eitig•of ti.e
United Kingdom of Great Ilium and Ireland, to the
Government of the Republic of Colombia. Colonel
Campbell addressed his Excellency in the following
terms:—

" Sts—Permit me, on being presented to your Ec-
cellettcy as Charge d'Affaires from the Government of
Great Britain, to express the satisfaction I feel on re-
ceiving the charge intrusted to me, and my joy in see•
ing established the bonds of amity and union, by which
the interests and good understanding of Great Britain
and Colombia are inseparably united, by means of the
treaty just signed ; and while I assure your Excellency
that my Government will do everything in the r power
to preserve in all their force the connexions established
by that treaty, I feel perfectly persuaded that the Go-
vernment of Colombia will be actuated by a corre-
sponding feeling.
6, As a British subject, I may also be permitted to assure
your Excellency, that the measure adopted by the
British Government is most congenial with the feelings
of the people of Great Britain, who have always taken
the most lively interest in the prosperity of Colombia.
" Permit me, likewise, to congratulate your Excel-
lency on the progieisive prosperity of Colombia, and
on the harmony, patriotism, and submission to the laws,
which I have observed in all parts of the Republic in
which I have been, and among all classes of citizens—
virtues which promise to preserve domestic tranquil-
lity and to promote the general good, as watch as' the
valour and great talents of the illustrious Liberator halve
secured its political independence."
Colonel Campbell then presented Mr. Wall, as Secre-
tary of the British Legation.
His Excellency replied as follows:—" The Govern-
ment and the Republic of Colombia begin to see satis.
fled the anxiety with which they have striven to merit
the friendship of the Government and People of Eng-
land; and I hope that the treaty just concluded may
be the first Ink of that bond which is to strengthen and '
promote the relations established between the two
Powers. lam highly pleased ; and I am sure that
my pleasure on this occasion will be shared by my
country, at beholding the affairs of the powerful Eng-
lish nation placed in the hands of a Gentleman of that
commission which had been so distinguished for its jus-
tice and public virtues."

The following lathe Addreie of Soihrar, on opening the Cowes,
of Peru :

3IrIOMIZ TO TUN SOTIMIIGN COMITUMIT COMMIS OP MU.
GINTLEMigN.....The representatives of the Peruvian
people meet this day, under the auspices of the splendid
victory of Ayacucho, which has fixed for ever the des-
tinies of the New World.
Twelve months have elapsed since the Congress cre-
ated the dictatorial authority, with the view of saving
the Republic, which was sinking, oppressed with the
weight of the most dreadful calamities. But the bene-
ficent hand of the Liberating Army has cured, the heart-
wounds of the country ; it has broken the chains riveted
by Pizarro on the sons of tlanco•Capac the founder of
the Empire of the Sun, and has restored Peru to the
enjoyment of her rights.
My administration cannot properly be so called, bat
rather a campaign ; scarcely have we had the time
necessary to arm and to combat, the confusion and
disasters that prevailed leaving us no alternative but
that of defending ourselves. As the army has tri-
umphed with so much glory for the arms of Peru, I
deemed myself bound to arrest of the Congress that
they will duly reward the valour and the virtue of the
defenders of their country.
The tribunals have been established according to the
fundamental laws. I have ordered that conceded
merit may be sought after, and placed in the judgment-
seat ; have carefully inquired for those who modestly
profess the worship of conscience,the religion of the laws.
The National Revenue was almost exhausted: fraud
corrupted all its ,channels, want of order augmented
the misery of, the State. I was myself compelled to
institute essential reforms, and dictate severe ordinances,
in order that the Republic might once more recover
her existence; convinced that, for the support of social
life, gold must flow through its veins.
The crisis of the Republic invited a mighty reform
that, perhaps, the course of ages might never again
present. The political edifice had been destroyed by
crime and war. I found myself on the field of desol4-
tioo, but possessed, at the same time, of power to erect
a beneficent Government upon it. Notwithstanding
my ardent, zeal for the good of Peru, I cannot venture
to assure the Congress that this 'work has been brought
to that perfection with which my hopes had &item.'
~411 the wisdom of Congress will be required to
give to the errantry that organization which she requires,
and..the felicity which liberty promises to her. Permit
me to Observe, that not being myself a Peruvian, I
encountered extraordinary difficulties iii the execution
of so arduous an undertaking.
Our relations with the Republic of Colombia have
produced the most powerful effects in our favour. Our
ally and confederator has reserved nothing from us;
she has employed her treasures, her. mine, and her
army, in warring against the common enemy, as in
her own cause.
' The Congress will observe, in these efforts of Co-
lombia' the infinite advantage which America will
derive from the intimate and strict union of the new
States. Persuaded as I am of the mighty • benefits
which will result from the Meeting of the Congress
of Representatives, I have hastened to invite our cos.
federatis in the name of Peru, in order that, without
loss of time, we may behold in the isthmus or Panama,
that• august assemblage whieb is to seal our per-
petual allOume.
