ally held in high respect by the members OF The
Central American Government, most OF whom had
been his associates and companions in arms-we
learn that the company are chiefly indebted ioi the
successful issue Of this important negotiation Col
WILLIAMS, Charge des Afaires OF the United
States, contributed in important degree, to the
success of the American Company III obtaining the
contract He was present at the execution OF 1t,
andn is aiesied by his signature.
The news from the congress of American States,
received by wav OF MEXICO, has produced, we
think, much less sensation 10 this country than it Is
| likely to produce in Europe. II We understand
| lightly the import OF it, Treaty OF Alliance has
actually been formed among the States represented
at Panama, which binds the parties to mutual pro-
lection, and o course 10 prosecute war together.
| The project Of an assembly OF American States
had (the reader will bear in mnd) Two 90 ects: the
FIRST, 10 form this league amongst the States having
a common enemy, aud therefore identical bellige
rent purposes: the other thr deheratiun upon and
adju,tmentot some unsettled questions oi interration
al law, and other questions i: which the Nations OF
Ameica, neutral as well belligert nj have an in
esi and IN which, indeed. all the nations oil the
World are more or less interested
The hrst Of these objects, it will be seen at once,
did not require the presence ol the United States at
the Congress because the United States, through
the Executive, bad explicitly declined being pstty
TO any compact for belgerent opera ions, offensive
! or defensive The Assembly, or Congress, there
lore. had no occasion tn wait for the arlva ii the

on the single ohlect ol heligereni nature, without
waiting for Us. the Nations Of the South have clearly
shewn that tn, hld ro' HE slightest expectation Of
the Government of The United States entering into
any such engagements. We are therefore relieved
| from all app ehens IN on that score.
Doubtless, before they enter into 2 delberation,
| at The adjourned sitting, upon questions affecting
equally the neutral and the beligerent character oil
the American States, they will wait for the attend
ance OF the Commissioners oi the Unicd States
| The effect of the Alliance which has already been
formed must be TO infuse new vigor into the mill
,ary contest between Spain and her Cidevant colo
nies. Il the alliance be ratified by he parties, aud
| Spain do not retire from the contest, The combined
! laval forces oi Mexico and Colombia, &c. under
the command Of an officer oi well known naval skill
experience, and valor, will be formidable enough 10
threaten Spain on her own coasts. to encounter
her on the ocean, where they have not yet been able
70 face her
1t will not be many m ,nlhs, probably before this
anticipation will be realized The friends of human
ty, always averse to il hvoidshe, Cannot but
hope, that the advisers OF the Spanish Monarch will
at length see how hopeless is the struggle TO regain
his authority over any portion o! the countries OF
America, aud that thus the lavish efuslon OF human
blood may be stopped II not, the flag OF the Ame
rican Alliance will Hoat over force, too powerful
not to be respected, if not to be severely felt. That
