POLITICS OF THE TWO AMERICAS.
From The National Gazette.

From the National Gazette.
The official Gazette Of Bogota, Of
the 9th February, contains an article
(Which is ascribed to the Colombian
Secretary of Foreign Affairs) on the
intended Amphictyonic Congress at
Panama, which we mentioned yester-
day. The objects of this Congress
are affirmed to be twofold-some at
fecting belligerents exclusively, and
others common to belligerents and
neutrals. They are thus stated:
Objects for the 6elEgerents Exclusively.
|. To form, or renovate in the most
solemn manner, the perpetual close
league between all the new American
states against Spain. .. TO issue a
manifesto on the Justice of their cause,
and their system of policy towards the
other Powers of Christendom. 8. To
enter into Convention of Navigation
and Commerce between them all as
allies and conlederates. a To decide,
with respect to the islands Of Cuba and
Porto Rico, whether all should COM
bine in libcrating them from the Spa
nish yoke; and, in such case, what mi
litary and pecuniary contingent each
should furnish. 5. TO take measures
for carrying The war in concert to the
seas and coasts Of Spain. 6. To de
terminc whether those measures should
be extended to the Canary and Philip
pine isles.
Objects common to beAEgerents and neutrals.
|. To take into consideration the
means Of rendering effectual the de"la-
ralions Of the President of the United
States concerning any future designs
of colonization on this continent, and
of resisting every attempt at Interior
ence in our domestic concerns. 2. To
settle, in concert, disputed principles
of the law Of nations, and chiefly those
which operate between belligerents and

ing upon which ought to be placed the
political and commercial relations of
those countries of our hemisphere
which either were, like Hayti, or should
be, separated from the mother country,
without having been recognized by any
European or American Power.
The writer of the Bogota article
thinks that the United States, and the
other American Powers similarly cir
cumstanced, will not refuse to depute
representatives TO the Panama Con-
gress, in order to deliberate and act as
to the latter series of OBJ jects. We
shall not undertake to say what ought
to be the decision of our government
on this point, but we are sure there are
weighty obstacles to compliance, and
we are, moreover, free to confess, that
we do not consider the new American
States as quite ripe for the arrange
ments in question. 1t would be easier
to cooperate with the Congress, if no
special belligerent ends were in view.

THE EMPEROR ALEXANDER-SOUT
AMERICA & THE GREEKS.
There has been for some time suffi-
cent reason to suppose, that the En-
peror Of Russia is particularly dis
pleased at the recognition of South
American Independence by Great Bri-
tain. The annexed communication is
extracted from a letter written by
gentleman now in the north of Europe,
who has many opportunities of col
Letting correct intelligence. 1t is un-
der date February 27,
at is said that the Car, our great
conterminous despot, has shown more
humor on the occasion of the British
recognition Of South America, than !
any other member Of the Holy League,
of which he is the puissant head and
it is believed that his irritation will be
apt to make itself SEEN, in the arrange
ment of the affairs of Greece which
will be soon taken in hand at Peters
burg, and which the Emperor seems
determined to settle in his o,cn toay,
without respect to, or consultation with
England. If England find fault with
his way, why then his irritation may
make itself fell. These are the specu-
lations at present on the great ques-
ton and its result, which has so much
interested and agitated mankind-the
question of South American Indepen-
dence."
