Referred to in the Presidents Message at
the commencement of the second session
of the fifteenth Congress.
Mr.. Rodney 10 The Secretary Of State.
[coNTIYuED.l
The salutary influence of this bold and
decisive step, was at once felt throughout
the country. II gave new life and strength
to the patriotic cause, and stability 10 the
government. The victories Of Chacabuco
and Maipu, achieved by the arms Of Chill
aud Buenos Ayres. have produced and con-
frmed a similar declaration OF indepen-
dence by the people Of Chill, which is al
so annexed, (Apperdix C) and cemented
The cordial union, existing between the con-
federate states. The consequence has been,
that within these extensive territories, there
is scarcely vestge OF a royal army 10 be
found, except on the borders OF Peru.
Having thus, in connection with the sue
cinct account given by DR.. Fumes, traced
the principal events, since the revolution
in Buenos Ayres. shall proceed to state
the result Of the information received, &C
cordng to the best opinion | could form Of
the extent, population, government and re-
sources ofthe United Provinces, with their
productions, imports and exports, trade and
commerce.
The late vice royalty OF Buenos Ayres,
of which that city was the metropolis, was
by many considered the largest, as well as
the most valuable of all the Spanish domin-
ions in South America, extending in d.
rect line, from its north to It's south bounda-
nv. a distance OF more than two thousand
miles; and from its eastern 10 lis western
no, less than eleven hundred.
II was composed, at the commencement
of the revolution, Of the nine provinces, oil
Paraguay, Cordova, Salta, Potosi, La Pfa'
ia, Chocbabamba, La Paz and Puno.
Watered by the great river La Plata anc
| its numerous tributary streams, which afford
an easy communication with countries o.

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT AT WASHING,

ION.
Wednesday, .Nopember 25.
MIR. n. Nelson, from the committee ap-
pointed by the house of representatives to
consider and report upon the petition OF
Matthew Lyon. Of which | gave you anac-
count in Saturdays letter, brought in re-
port from that committee, ending with re-
solve that the prayer of that petition ought
not to be granted. After that, Mr. Hop
kinson, by instruction Of the Judiciary com
mittee, reported to the house bill for the
establishment of an a!torn system Of bank
rup'cy, which he offered with remark that
as il was the same which he had unsuccess-
fully offered last session, The arguments he
bad then laid before them, aud the grounds
of reasoning be had submitted to them on
that oc casion, must be too fresh in their me-
mory 10 leave any necessity for him to re-
peat them. He would therefore, on the
present introduction of the measure, conhne
himself TO saying that he now bro't ittor-
ward with the hope that the recollection oil
those arguments aud reasons, enforced by
the information winch gentlemen had since
received, and by the obviously increased
necessity for such law, arising IRON the
augmented distress Of ths times, would
have the effect Of rendering the house so
much more favorable 10 the subject now
than they had been on the former occasion,
that the bill would, during the present ses-
sion, be passed into law. To this end,
he movedthat the bill should be referred to
a committee Of the whole-whIch was a
greed to, and it was made the order of the
day for Monday.
From the committee appointed to consi-
der of the expcdiency OF adding number
not exceeding twelve clerks to those now
employed in the pension bureau OF the war
department, bill TO that effect was re-
ported to the house by Gen. Harrison, who
after il had been read twice, moved that 1t
should be Immediately referred to COM
mi,tee of the whole. As this was propo-
sition which could only be granted by the
unanimous concurrence of the house, aud
was in its nature of the most urgent kind d,
il was hored that no member would be
found 10 oppose it. The hope, however,
was fallacious. Beecher, OF Ohio, a.
lone objected to it, and it must take the
usual course,
This is one of the most affecting cases
that has yet come before congress. The
veteran soldiers of the revolution, in whose
favor the pension bill passed in March last,
are so very old that the enjoyment OF the
pension, even by the longest liver among
them, must be very short so that every
good heart will necessarily feel interested
that they should come into the possession
Of it as soon as possible; particularly as
they have already been too long unprovi-
ded for. Since the passing Of the act, ma
ny of those old soldiers have gone 10 the
grave, without receiving dollar OF that
provision, owing 10 the impossibility OF ex-
amiring their claims, ascertaining the JUS
,ice of them, and making out their certifi.

sufficient force of the pension office. By Z
