work of a ship canal between the tw

| have the satisfaction to inform
you that the executive government
Iof VenezueE has acknowledged
some claims Of citizens of the 9. S.:

Ayres and the confederated States

watered by the tributaries of the La
Plata; and they gave a friendly no.
tice of this purpose to the United

taken place ih the formation of the
new government have as yet prevent t.
ed the executi bnof those Instructions;
but there is every reason to hope
these vast coun ntrf lies will be eventually
opened to our commerce.
A treaty of commerce has been

Should this c3nV Vention go into op-

n natural resources, but from which
oreign nations have hitherto BEE ia
almost W wholly excluded.
