sx.rea, that having already acknowledged

II have established the night ~ treating them
~ free aud independent States. as well to-
wards Spain a. all the rrot If the world
These STATES are nominally nj var with
Spin. and Spain alone. H.r allies have
taken M part ia thi, war. The most pow
erful of those allies, Great Britain, has for
mdlly Acknowledged the independence of
several Of these States, and established di-
plomafc relations with them. To these
acts on Our part and that of Great Britain,
Span submits, although they not only es-
sentially weaken hrf az bellgerent, but
directly violate her colonial laws. But, If
our recognition Of each Of the States repre-
SEATED At the Congress, and our trading
with them, in direct cOntraventon OF the
colonial laws of Spain, be no breach. as II
is none Of our neutrality, so neither is our
attendance AZ a Diplomatic Council of all
those States united, a breach ofneutraty.
This is particularly true, ~hen II IS added
thai TIN Un,trd States, instead If going 10
| the Congress 10 animate the war against
| Spain, will 20 as nnderators aud paacerna-
krfs. tn promote; by every meaas, ter
mlnation ufthe contest, on terms hOnora-
bic tn the new States and advantageous to
| Spain. This power has already received
! the strongest pledges that such is the policy
OF The United States. The COMMITTEE are
clearly Of opinion that, if our Attendance at
this Congress be desirable, on the part of
the new States, ii Is not less 80 on the part
of Spain.
