U. States is, in all its bearings. a do
cument of more than Usual importance
The latter part, which arrived so late
yesterday that we were forced to omit
il 10 small parts of our Impression,
will be found in our last page to day.
and, wavering every other topic in the
Speech, we direct our whole attention
TO that part the most important of all
to every European Power.
! The question OF the, Independence
and recognition OF the South American
States, mag ,io,o Be considered as at
rest Great Britain has, as we have
repeatedly shewn, acknowledged their
Independence de facto: and the Uni
ted States, their nearest neighbours.
Rave not only acknow ledge it.. hu
have given bold and manly notice
TO the Continental Powers. that they
shall treat "any interpositon with the
view OF expressing or controlling them
IN any manner, as q manifestation OF
uniriendly disposition towards Them
seives--and as dangerous to their safe
ty," in other words, they shall view ii
as afordlng them jest ground for war
After 20 clear and explicit warn

Powers, we sprpose, that will risk 0
war with the United States war in
which moi only they could not have
a'ther the aid or good wishes OF Great
Bri'ain--but war in which the good
wishes OF Great Britain, &c she did
moi choose 10 give more. efficient, sue

that the question my BE- set at rest;

on one side, aud he Uniied States or
the other, thei independence is placed
aevond the reach of danger; and, the
Continental Powers, unab,ed to
harm them, will do well to estab

Iercourse with them, which they could
never have done had they remained
under the yoke Of Old Spain.
/ There is one more point in the
Presidents Speech, which we shall
touch upon shortly 1t relates to part
OF the north west coast of America,
which was first explored, we believe.
by Captain Cook Russia had set up
some territorial claims which neither
Great Britain nor the United States
could submit to- They are now the
subject of an amicable. negociation

| The noble and firm, yet temperate
and pacific, tone OF. the Presidents
Message, seems to have excited uni
