ltm1st be matter OF regret, to all who
have felt an interest in the recognition Of
South American lndepeDence by this
country, that the events oil the last two or
three months have been such, q. 10 make
it impossible that any immediate measures
towards that end should be adopted That
there exists every disposition IN the psri

But it cannot be denied that the course
OF event, within the period which 'hese
several acts embrace, has not answered 10
the views upon which they proceeded.-
Without expecting from newly created
states, the energy and stability OF long es-
tablished governments, it was still felt 10
be indispensable. that there should exist
reasonable grounds for concluding that
they were not exposed TO sudden and VIC
lent r. actions Id, however, we look at
the condition OF some OF them, and those
the most important can it be affirmed that
these grounds do exist?
la Mexico, for example, who can say
what may be he consequence oil lturbide's
enterprise? That he has party there,
ready to cooperate with him, authentic
intelligence from Mexico sufficiently
proves; and that this party is probably nu.
merous and pow ertul, may be assumed
from The TACT OF the enterprise itself -
Mexico IS at present republic. A few
months hence, il may have an Imperial
Government Would il be consistent With
the just dignity OF this country, or with IFS
Just interests, to establish relations upon
so uncertain basis!
With respect 10 Colombia the case, we
init, is different; bu, Colombia has EN-
barked in contest, the issue OF which IS
uncertain. 1t is true she is carrying on
this contest 10 the Peruvian territory; but
were any great disaster TO happen. who
can tell how soon the tide OF war might
be rolled back upon Colombia? The great
talents OF Bolivar are sufficient to inspire
every confidence; yet reverses are posi-

persuaded, affect in any way the perma.
nent interests of that country, they would
certainly furnish reason why we should
wait for the final result. Any decisive
step taken at this moment would therefore
be premature, and might be unavailing
