The Republic of Paraguay from its central po-
sition must always have much influence in the polt,
cal movements Of South America, and the strong
wish evinced by the Government TO cultivate friend
ly feeling with the Government Of the United States,
WILL it is hoped, be reciprocated. The large PoPu-
laton of that country will create new market for
many articles of American manufacture.
The Government Of Paraguay being now consoli-
dated with its President and Legislative body friend
~ understanding with the United States is much de-
sired and will be advantageous 10 the citizens of the
United States whose trade may be with that country
The Government Of Paraguay are more anxious that
their principal and most friendly relations, should be
with the Government of the United States, as the
Treaties which exist between most Of the South
American Republics and Great Britain, give the idea
that they look TO the latter their principal support
1t therefore that Her Britannia Majes,ys envoy,
Mr.. Gordon, codly received, and that the Go
vernment of Paraguay anxious to cultivate the
most friendly feeling with tina, Of the United States,
before all other nations"
