ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL,
The first production of the Age, and

The following is !3 reply, addressed to the
Council of Government: "I have considered the repre-
sentation which 52 Dpputies of the General Congress
have had the honour of addressing to your Excellencies.
After mature deliberation, I have approved of the pro-
ject of these illustrious citizens, in desiring to recur, in
the midst of their difficulties, to the source whence their
power is derived. Nothing is so conformable with popu
lar doctrines as a reference to the mass of the nation.
on those capital points which form the bases of stres,
namely, fundamental laws and the supreme magistracy.
All individuals are liable to error and seduction—not
so the nation, which possesses, in an eminent degree,
the knowledge of its welfare and the measure of its
independence. From this cause its judgment is pure, its
will is strong,and consequently no one can corrupt, or, far
less, intimidate it. I hold irre'ragable proofs of the con •
Nancy of the nation in great rerolutions,and therefore it is
that! have always preferred its opinions to those of the
wise. Let, then, the Electoral-Colleges beconsulted ; them
we snail know that the laws have received the sanction of
all, and what kind of supreme Magistracy the nation
points out to receive:from my hands the authority with
which it has intrusted me. Then, I say, the represen-
tatives of the people will hold in their hands a sure light
to guide them among the rocks which await them.
" Before concluding, I shall tell your Excellencies,
with all sincerity, that my anxiety to lay down the
authority I exercise, had inspired me with the resole tion
to convoke the Congress before the period fixed by law,
if the grave inconveniences which the Representatives
have pointed out had rin prevenud me ; for, urged by
the cries of my country, I sigh for the day of return to
Colombia. 1 shall likewise say, that strongly pressed
by the extraordinary state in which Upper Peru is placed,
I was anxious that the Congress should put an end to
the ambiguous, and I may add, unheard-of relations
which exist between the two countries.
" But I have resolved to lay aside these considerations to remain
in Peru ; because it is not just that one &ate should sacrifice itself
for the interests of another. and because I know that every &me-
rican Republic holds its well-being dependent upon that of the rest,
and that in serving one we serve many. I have the honour to offer
you the testimony of my consideration and respect.
" Magdalena, April 27, 1826." " BOLIVAR."

This letter is followed by a decree of the Council for
carrying into execution the measures recommended by
the deputation of the Congress.
One of the paperi contains a Government advertise-
ment, calling on persons willing to contract for making
an iron ral-road from Callao to Lima, to send their pro-
posals, sealed, to the office of the Minister of Finance.
