In compliance with the resolution of the House
of the 5th uitimo, requesting me TO cause to be laid
before the House, so much of the correspondence
between the Government of the United States, and
the new States of America or their Ministers, res
pecng the proposed Congress- or meeting of Di-
plomatic Agents at Panama, and such information
respecting the general character of that expected
Congress, as may be in my possession, and as may
in my opinion, be communicated without prejudice
to the public interest; and also TO inform the
House, SO far as in my opinion the public interest
may allow, in regard to what objects the Agents of
the United States are expected to take part in the
deliberations of that Congress: now transmit to
with the correspondence and information requested
| by the resolution
| With regard TO the objects in which the Agents
of the United States are expected to take part in the
deliberations Of that Congress, deem it proper to
PREMISE that these objects did not form the only
nor the principal motive for my acceptance o
the invitation. My first and greatest inducement wa
TO meet, in the spirit Of kindness and friendship al
overture made in that spirit by three sister Repub
lies Of this hemisphere. The great revolution ii

nearly at the same time, eight sovereign and indie
pendent nations in own quarter OF the globe ha
placed the United States in situation not less move
and scarcely less interesting, than that in which the

We hear numerous complaints, among
our ship owners relating to the common
practice with the Providence editors
ofreporting ;heir vessels as belonging
to Bristol. This is confined to no par
ticular paper, but has bnen rather more
frequently done by the Journal and
Patriot than others, The last Journal
contained an instance of the practice to
which we allude.
We know not what object the Provi-
dence publishers may have in view
whether il be to take away the appear
ance OF business from Warren to occa-
sion our merchants expense and trouble
by the mis- direction ofletters, or wheth-
er it be from ignorance or carelessness.
Ifit be to solicit favour with their sub
scribers in Bristol, they have taken the
wrong method the inhabitants Of that
place want no more credit than by right
belongs to them they are aPeople not
to be wheedled into favour, by meth.
ods such as these. Warren is a place
that does her business without much pa
rade. She has been for many year.
plodding on unmindful Of the sneers ant
insults other neighbours, and she woult
not now heed this attempt to rehde hel
smaller than she really is, did it not af
feet the interests Of her citizens. She
has the vanity to believe, that, while
she contributes her mite towards the
support oftbese papers, they should Ell
ther omit these reports or publish then
correctly.
