J To the Republican States of the new world.
} Erfract 81 The instructions given BIZ the Duk
81 ho,czdn to NJ Chasseriau, sent on Sc
cref mission to Colombia.
according To the instruction No. Q. which
was put INTO your hands an June 8, by Co
lionel GaIabert, and according 10 the direc'
IONS contained in his memorial, it remains
nAed that the same base Of operations will
serve you as a guide in both, in case you
should have need Of fresh Instructions. The
most important point in your Instructions is
10 OBTAIN positive information as 10 the pre-
sent state Of the military and naval forces Of
Colombia; and principally to ascertain tho
roughly the opinions (morale) Of the most in
1uentaI officers, both in the army and navy.
II appears from the last despatch Of e. colonel
ua'abert, that the public mind is well dispos-
ed 10 favour ola rOyalist movement in Mex
ico and It Is he wished that the same may be
the case In Colombia. Colonel Galaberta as
sures US that the people are every where
much exasperaied against the Insurgents !;
and that the clergy are animated with til..
pest dispositions. Observe exactly the sense
OF tninss on your side, and see after the means
oi"pta,ninS iniiuence yourself which your
semi-officiai diplomatic character will enable
you to establish without danger. Du not
lear to promise too much, or TO advance too
lar. 1t IS essential 10 strike every where al
Tue same Time without which il be necessary
10 give up the idea Of replacing America
under the sceptfe OF those sound principles
which have Jist once more saved society in
Europe. Take particular care, in all the re-
iatIons which you establish, To give impor-
lance to the eccIesiasiics is not possible
I" attach them too strongly for the innnence
.hat they exercise on the Spanish Americans
u not less than that which they have pre-
served over their countrymen in Europe
IL Is iu''y settled, that the emancipation, or
the recognition as an independent State, must
not, under any circumstances, be put for
ward or proposed by you. This preliminary
| concession always denotes weakness, and, at
the same Time, has the serious inconvenience
OF givIng to policy an air of bad faith. II is
oetter, first of ALL to have many difficulties 10
oppose, in order afterwards 20 march ssraigh-
ter forward in the road one proposed.-
Inc distance Is another reason for saving lime
ana not making amy false steps rather be
gently oil indiscreti0n 10 royaIist sense, than
aiiow u 10 be supposed for moment that
france could be brought 10 make any con-
cesslon 10 The revolutionary spirit. On this
point his majesty's government strictly agrees
win the cabinet of Madrid; all the means
OF persuasion, Of interest, and of conviction
ought To be employed to bring back The CO.
'onies nndtr the old order Of things I, but il
all other Efforts and proceedings do not pro-
duce favorable result, there will only re-
main, as last resource, To obtain that by
force Ut arms, which has mol been obtained
10y means, OF the negotiations now going on.
10 NOT then, neglect any thing for attaining
the object by the means which you have IN
your power. Bring before the people perpe-
| tually the Issue in Europe Of the revolutions
Of Naples Piedmont, Portugal and Spain !;
make every thing percepiibie which is vicious
~ fhs system, that tends To separate Ame-
RIGA from Europe, and 10 destroy, in conse
qnence, the commercial relations which alone
can give life and movement to political bodies
wh'ch were created, as il were, only yester-
day. The genius Of the Spanprds is no,
made for those abstract theories, by the aid
OF which this fine and rich country has been
for fourteen yesrs overfJwed with blood
IL is time to put stop to this d.v asiatOn,
which ruins nations by perverling their minds,
| and to check, in the midst OF their course,
those devastating torrents which have a ten
! denccy 10 overflow from the New Would 10
| The Old.
AS soon as you have formed any respectable
connexions III The country, it viii be of the
highest importance 10 place these auxiliaries
IN slate to act efficiently. The more of the
natives you bring over 10 the interest of our
policy, the more ready you will be to act with
|
gect The general officers of the army.
Let the object Of your most pressing solicit
ude be the exact knowledge Of The ships OF
war, their number, their force, The number OF
guns with which they are armed, and the en-
act number Of their crews. The description
even OF tue vessels ought not to be neglect
ed. As you obtain this Information YOU will
send il Ia Capt. p -, of the navy, who has
on tlhls subject received orders from, the Min
ister of Marine, and who will receive your
] dispatches by the Brazil packet.
The House Of Gerard, of philadelphia, and
ITS correspondents at Buenos A res, are or
dered to supply you with any SUMS for which
you may draw on them at sight. There can
not be any delay in complying with your de-
mands, as every thing has been foreseens and
is already provided Tor.
| la the same packet son will find instructions
! for the Cabinet Of Madrid, for the Able
Dorado. They are committed to your care.
and you must consider them as Of the greatest
Importance A duplicate copy Of your last
report has been sent 10 the Colonel Galbert,
| with whom il is proper you should continue
To keep up communication as often as DC
casiOD requires.
