Extract Of letter from Washington, dated
March 10.
"The message of the President, though
long anticipated, will excite good deal of
public attention; yet, If the measure be well
understood, it ought neither to affect our con-
dtion relative to any of the parties, nor their
condition relative to us, since neither will be
made to suffer change. Some time ago,the
United States proclaimed their determination
TO observe strict neutrality during the civil
war In South America: the principles ofpub-
tic law were duly respected in this declaration;
and neither Spain nor the people of Spanish
America have objected to If, because it has
been most mpartialy observed.
" In the ce,irse the last year the civil war
hasceased. In Mexico, the revolution is com
p'eted, without confusion or violence in
Colombia the war is al IN cud {; in Buenos
Ayres and Chill the inhabitants have long

To be little expectation of further struggle.
Spain herself requires the whole attention
OF her people, in the re, ision and establish
ment of her Constitution and, according to
the example of England, ald her own example
IN the case of the Netherlands. good policy
must urge, and the highest interests of Spain
recommend, treaty OF mutual Intercourse
and trade with the new states, founded on
the basis of reciprocal independence.

VIII DO more to cherish and perpctuate mutual
intercourse and friendship between them, than
any tr'aiy intended to secure the same can
ever effect.
The pride of Spain may be an evil coun-
sellor on this important subject. She may
he offended that the United States have not
waited until she herself has acknowledged the
new states and it is possible that other pow
rs, from the want OF good will to the free in
siituilons of the United States, may endeavuur
tn provoke the resentment of Spain against
us, tho the message will i'm nothing alter The
condition of the parties, since it announces
an impartial neutrality should the war be re-
i. newGG.
When France acknowledged the indrpen-
dence ri the United States, she entered into
treaty OF offensive and defensive alliance with
Them and bU i,,sra .J. - a
nounced her engagement to make common
cause with them III the war. Instead of this
course, the American AMBASSADOR at Madrid
an communicating the message of the Presi-
dent, viii announce the determination of the
United States to continue to observe an exact
neutrality in the event ola continuation of the
war.
Had France done no more, there would
nave been no just cause of war between France
and England and the step now t ken by the
United States affords no such cause
We neither have nor desire treaties with
the new states. We may enter INTO stipua
,tions with them for the purpose of extending
and establishing the principle of free trade,
but we shall neither desire nor seek to con
ciude with them, or any other country, treaties
by which exclusive advantages may be at
tempted TO be secured. We will receive their
ships and cargoes as our OVID, provided they

or expect advantages from this measure, are
not only not true, but they are illbera. We
have good will for, and take cordial interest,
IN, ie prosperity and happiness of our neigh-
bours and shall at all times be ready. by the
uPrightness and fidelity of our principles, to
