"The pride Of Spain may be an evil coun.
selor ON this important subject. She msy
be offended that The United States have hot
waited uGtil she beisvif has acknowledged ed
The new states; sbd il j. possible that o,her
powers, from the wan, Of good will 10 the
free Institutions Of the United States may en-.
deavor to provoke the resentmeet Of Spain
against Us, though the message viii DoihIng
si'er the condition OF the ps',ies, since it an.
nouncea an imparusl neutrainy, should the
war be renewed.
"When France acknowledged the indepen.
de1ce of The United STATES, she entered into
sues'y OF offensive and defensive alliance
with them, ano, by her ambassador i'm Lon.
don, announced her engagement to make
common cause with them in war. Instead Of
this course, tho American Ambassador at
Madrid, IN communicating tho message Of
the President, Will announce the determine.
ton Of the uniltd States to continue 10 OBJ.
serve an exact neutrality IN the event Of
continuation OF tho war.
Had France done no more, there would
hsve been no Just cause of war between

"We neither have nor desire treaties with
the new states. We may enter into stipula.
uo0s with them for the purpose OF extending
and establishing the principle OF free trade
but we shall neither desire nor seek 10 con-

ties by which exclusive advantages may be

Any supposition, therefore, that We wish

WAsHISeroN, MARCH 20.
A Report was yesterday made In the
House of Representatives by the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations otwhich MIR.
Russell is the chairman, on the subject OF
the Message of the President of the Unit
ed States, proposing recognition, by this
government, of the independence OF the
governments of South America.
The report is OF too great length to be
published to day, but shall appear in our
next 1t is all able paper, which was to
have been expected. Its conclusions
correspond with the general views pre-
sented in the Executive Message.
The actual independence of the gov
crnments Of Mexico, Colombia, Buenos
Ayres, Chill, and Peru, is admitted to be
established beyond question. The re-
suit Of the whole examination Of the sub
ject, is an unanimous opinion, on the
part of the committee, that "H is just
and exbedient to acknowledge the inde-
pendenCe of the several nations of Span
ish America, without any reference to
the diversity in the forms of their gov
crnments," and in accordance with this
opinion, an appropriation of one hundred
thousand dollars to carry into effect the
diplomatic purpose, is recommended.
1t has been stated, that the Spanish
Minister at Washington was highly Of
Tended at the late communication to Con-
gress from the President Of the United
States, recommending the recognition Of
the Independence ofthe Spanish Colonies.
This is not the case. We understand
from gentleman recently returned from
the seat Of government, tina, the Spanish
Minister has long since anticipated a
proposition of this kind as matter of
course and that, while as a man he could
not object TO it, yot as a minister of His
Catholic Majesty, it would be his duty
to protest against it. ". Z. G0S.
