At meeting of the Supreme Junta Of
Spain, in order to consolidate and bring
nearer the relations of friendship which ex-
ist between Spain and the United States of
America, in manner suitable to the re-
ciprocal Interests OF both powers, it was
considered necessary to employ for that
purpose person enjoying the highest con-
fdence, of known merit and distinguished
patriotism, and his majesty has accordingly
thought proper to appoint Dan Lonis de
Ou:s r Gonzales, one of the oldest and most
respectable members of the department of
state, who possesses all the above mention
ed qualities, and who is shortly to go to the
United States in the character of minister
plenipoten,iary and envoy extraordinary, for
the purpose of fulfilling that important com.
mission.

RESPECTED AND ESr sEMED SIR,
The Republican tizens OF the city aud

unanimously passed, az a general meeting,
determined to signfy 20 you the high sense
which they entertain of your virtues, ia
tents, and valuable services 10 our beloved
country, together with their full approbati-
on of the measures pursued during your
administration. by the same resolution
they have rendered us the organ to com.
municaee their sentiments 10 you.
In complying witt this pleasing request
we also think it our duty to state, that we
speak our own opni ms and feelings, as
well as those of our fellow republicans at
large. Yau sir, live in our affections, and
in retirement attract the same, and II pos
sible even superior emotions of gratitude,
to those which were cherished While You
presided over the affairs OF the uOion.
Your early and eminent exertions in sup
port of American independence and your
unvarying attach nent to the civil liberties
Iof your fellow citizens, entitle you to their
affections and esteem. Aud though we
cannot but deplore that the errors and tina
preiudices, OF party have too frequently eX-
cited unnerited attacks, we are sensible that
a consciousness Of recttude, together with
the appreciation and support OF RepuIh.

We Reluctantly parted with you as presi-
dent. In the fTicult situation -four coun-

integrity. We felt towards you the aFsc-
ton of child 10 parent, and the moment
Of political separation was p4infai in the
extreme Your reasons nevertheless con-
vinced us, Of the propriety OF your retire.
'nent, and the election of your trend as a
successor produces at this moment ous
greatest consolation. In the infancy Of oJr
government, we perceive it to have been
proper that worthy and disinIerestsd eN-
amples should be presented, and that to
prevent hereditary establishments, our best
men should avo perpetuity OF power.
The more We reflect upon the measures
Of your administration, especially those
which have been adopted towards the pr'n-
