ings of the provincial assemblies, in re-
ference TO the acknowledgement of the
Supreme Provincial Government at
Mexico. The voice of the provinces
has been unequivocaliy expressed in IA
yor of FederatiUe Republic, which tho
Supreme Executive al Mexico, admits
to be generally desired, and specifies as
the main object OF the General Congress
about to be assembled. Attempts have
been made In some Of the provinces, to
induce them to separate and absolute
independence, had failed; but we per-
ceiye that, al Guetamaka, there was es-
tabished " National Constituent AS

Centre of America" This Assembly
appointed on The llth of July, three ci-
tizens to form Professionally "the Su-
preme Executive powers )" Don Manu-
el de Are, De Pedro Molina, and De
Juan Vicente Villacorta.
The Mexican government Gazette of
the 10 h August, contains an official
note from the Guetamala "Suprome
Executive" to that of Mexico" in or
der that two nations, contiguous and
equally interested in establishing liberty
b, means of the constitution and laws
most beneficial to them, might not ap-
pear 10 be at variance, since they should
respect each other and maintain the re-
laions OF friendship exacted by their po-
silion and other circumstances"
On the Cd OF july, General Lopez do
Santana recognized in form the Supreme
Executive power Of Mexico, ard in his
address to that body, signifies the plea
sure with which he learned that the Sn-
preme Congress, IN accord with gene
raj opinion, was employed in deiermin-
ing the basis upo, which to organize
the nation into Federalive Republic.
In several Of the Mexican documents,
strong dcteStation is expressed of the
French Invasion Of Spain; in all of them
the principle Of the Sovereignty of tho
people is emphatically proclaimed.

amount oil 200 900 dollars, was publicly

Eztract from Coz .4dair's message TO
The legislature IF kentucky, nogu in
session.
On the subject of the Bank Of the
Commonwealth, The Legis lature Will, I
presume, pursue the course readily
pointed out in the Charter, aud which mas
been acted on by Two preceding Legis-
'atures. 10 issue more paper, would
he rskmg too much, and | an, fully Of
opinion, the debtors cannot meet hea~
vier calls. Let this course be adhered
to, oad the Bank will wind up itself as
soon as the people Of the stale will be
prepared to de- without it. Permit me,
Whilst on this Subject, to remark, that
he Bank OF the Commonwealth was or
ganlzcd, and the endorsement and replc-
yin laws passed, for different purposes,
and intended 10 operate on separate and
distinct classes .oi debtors. They were
30, senialy dependent on each other.
The bank was intended TO relieve a yc-
~ numerous class of debtors, whose
iebis we're small, and where both credi-
tor and debtor we're citizens of the state,
and whose debts, though small, inaivi-
dpally, announced in the aggregate to tho
cpornous sum Of upwards Of 30 100000
of dollars, al! of which were under
Judgment anr, execution. ard the pro-
perry ready to be sacrificed, in most ca.
SEES tor little more than The officers fees.
Ii cannot be doubted by any, that such
an amount of properly exposed by the
officers at the same time, or in short
period, would not have brought tenth,
perhaps not a twentieth Of lis value.
This numerous, and | will venture 10
say, Ibis class Of honest debtors, have
been relieved ty loans from the Bank;
their creditors have ieen satisfied; and
thus allowed sufficient time 10 raise the
money by adopting tie very sage advice
which we have all read in our A lmanacs
since the days of poor Job, and may vet
read from most public documtnls and
newspapers of Industry and ecoaomy,

given to man whose whole property,
The labor Of mary years, is il the bands
OF an officer, and about to be torn from

days, a week, Or month, il is then little
better than insult. The class Of debtors
for whose benefit the rtplcyip law was
passed, were those whose debts were SO
large that the limited loans Of the bank
could not reach; to give them time was
ali the legislature could do for them. To
what exien, they may have been enabled
to avail them selves Of The time they have
already had, will be better known to tho
