The recent revolution IN Huenos Ayres
and the confcderatcd States having opened
the prsp-e, of an improved state Of things
In that quarter, the governments Of Great
britain and France determined TO n"go-
tisss with the chief Of the new Confedcra-
ey for the free sccess Of their commerce 10
the extensive countries watercd BY the trib-
ufaies Of the La Plata; and they gave =
friendly notice Of this purpose 10 thc Uni
ted States, that we might II we thought
proper pursue the same course. In com
plisnce with this invitation, our minister at
Rio Janciro and our charge daf,ires at
Buenos Ayrcs have been fully authorized
to coacIudc treaties with the newly organ
iIed Confederation, or the States composing
it. The delays which have taken place in
the formation Of the new government have

structions but there IL every reason "a
hope that these vast countries will be event.

ded between the United States and tn,

bc laid before the Senate. Should this Con
veniion 60 into operation, it will open t.
the commercial enterprise Of our citizens q
country Of great extent unsurpassed in ma
tural resources, but from which foreign ns
tio0s have hitherto been almost wholly ex
cluded. .....-

doubts which had been entertained of tn
title of Peru to those islands have been re
moved and have deemed il just that th

tionally done her, from want Of information
should be rcpaired by an unrcsorved ac
