as IT was the leading principle Of ours. This
NATIONAL sentiment has not been silent or unob-
served. twas embodied and expressed in the
most public and solemn manner i'm the messape
To Congress, at the commencement of their last
session, as will be within your recollection
The conduct of the government has been inva-
r:abiy coniorrnable to it. The recognition of
the South American Governments, flowing from
the same principle which enlisted all our feel
ings IN the cause of Spain, has been, in ITS ell
tecis, mere fornaiity it has in no wise changed
our actual relations, either .v,th them or with
Spain. All the European powers, even those
which have hitherto most strenuously denied the
recognition IN form, have treated, and will treat
the South Americans as Independent in fact
by ms protest against the formal acknowledg
ment, Nlr. Anduaga had fulfilled his duties TO
ms own government, nor has any one eifcutn-
stance arisen from that event, which could re-
quire OF him TO recur TO 1t as subject of differ
ence between Us aud Spain again. We have
uot-oecn disposed to complain of his protest; nor
even OF his permanent residence at distance
from the seat of government. But the avidi,y
with which he has seized upon every incident
which could cause unpleasant feelings between
the two countries; the bitterness with which
ms continual notes have endeavoured to exas-
perate and envenom; the misrepresentation
Oh others, winch he has SO preCipItously as.
sumed undeniabIe facts; and the Ian
guage in which he has vented his reproaches up-
on the fair and honorable characters of our
Naval Officers, upon the Government, a, even
the people OF this Union; and above all, the ar
tifice by which he suffered the absurd and ridicu-
lous expedition of De Coudray Holstein, to OBJ.
tain some paltry supplies men aud arms in
this country, without giving notice oft to this
government, when they might have effec,ually
broken it up, leaving it unknown TO us till after
its inevitable failure, when he could trump il uu
as premedtated hostility of ours against S, ain
and a profiigate object ofinvasion OF her posses
sions; are indications of temper which we can
trace to no source either of friendly feeling J.
wards our country, or of patriotic devotion to hi,
own. 1t has the aspeci of deliberate purpose
To STIR up and inhame dissentions between the
United States and Spain; to produce and che
rish every means of alienation and distrust be-
tween them, with ultimate views to the counter
action of these differences, upon the internal ad-
ninistration and government of his own nation.
sit is hoped that he will, in no event, be per.
mitted to return hither; and, In the full and ms,
explanations which you will now be enabled
give upon every complaint exhibited bv hin
while here, the Spanish government will be sa
hsfied with the justice, and convinced of the
friendly disposition towards Spain, which hav,
governed all our conduct.n
