sit is stated in of your papers that the
amount of our claims on the Neapolitan govern
ment Is about one million and half of dollars
which you know is great mistake, and that it is
considerably more than double that sum.
81 am sorry to find that the gentleman sent to
Naples by our government is not clothed with the
necessary rank to secure success; and wish YOU
would endeavor to prevail on the President to Give
him the rank of Minister, which | am satisfied
would enable him TO succeed. The President has
committed great error in sending an agent to
Naples, who does not understand the Italian or
French languages"

we take this opportunity of addressing you on

rignty of this country; that on us, Constituent
parts of this government, depend the perpeiuty OF
republican institutions, the character and
prosperity OF our nation, tho happiness Of its cit-
zens, and the destiny Of millions yet unborn. As

order, and Jealous supporter of the masonic in.

that we have been unable yet to ascertain with

 Fs3sosp- Citizens trespass upon the indulgence that have invoked. Tine fails me to pass in review tic expefiei ces Of the other nations el the Europe an continent, which, in the last hal. century, have been, and yet are, eea- yalsed with the revolutionary spirit. h comparing their history during this period with our own, there is one peiHt Of difference between them, on which our attention cannot be too intensely Yivcted. Our Declaration of tndepen- dence, our Confederation, the Constitu- tioa Of the J0ited States, and all our State Consultations, without single eg. cepiion, have been voluntary compacts, deriving all their authority from the free consent of the parties 10 them. 1t may ba doubted whether single Con stitution has been formed in Europe, or iii Southern America, without some vi olenee. some admigture of conflicting physical force in its confection. In the early and significant age of the ancient mythology, the god of boundaries was the only deity never to be propitiated bl sacrifices of blood. He, too, was the only god who refused to yield his place even to Jupiter. Here is tue landmark, bloodless and immovcabie, more unefring than the magnet from the Pole, firm as the everlasting hills, be- tween freedom and force. Ii is moi in the proclamation of principles. Dec larations of the rights of man, as full, as copions. as formal as onr own, have decorated the Constitutions of Europe. Those Constitutions, after a short and ftfuI existence, have passed into the me- mory of things beyond the aood; leav- ing the principles beiiind-hlood-stain- ed and defaced = monuments only of their own mutilation. We have pro-. claimed the principles, we have a1her- cd 10 the practice; and our history has been a record Of internal peace, and general prosperity, almost uninterrupt- cd. Let the coAtempia'Ionof the past, be the instructive lesson of the futures
