! Extract from The Richmond Enquire. -
MIR Adams was evidently bound to consider
those objects alone, which were included within
the treaty etipulations, proper objects for the
deliberations oil the Panama Congress. Now
pray, reader, attend TO Mr.. Adsms's own peculiar
notions of the objects, which will engage the de-
| alterations OF the Panama Congress; The monar-
chy OF Rio Jansiro being represented in his plan.
Mr.. Adams divides these important objects into
two descriptions. The one object to be considered,
whether we represented there or not. Others il
we are represented, may be offered by CIR pieni-
potentarcs Tor consideration The object, in the
first case, Mr., Adams describes TO be OF The high
est Importance 10 the whole human race, and bear
ing directly upon the interest OF u!is Union.
I " Our plenipoten.iaries, having in vi.S orr
own interest, and the Improvement OF tie condi.
ton OF man upon earth. I" will be specially charg
ed" TO subserve the benefcent purposes of Di-
vine Providence, to dispense the promised bless
the prevalence, in future ages of peace on earth
and good will towards man, and this blessed oe-
casion is TO be greediiy seized upon for this bless
ed purpose for fear that other opportunity, so
favorable for this blessed purpose will occur

TO be seized upon for the further purpose of eua-
