The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1853-03-18

We have had the pleasure OF presenting TO our read
interesting papers relating TO the Amazon the
last OF which We're OF the above le over the signature
OF " Inca"
These papers attracted attention not only in this
Try, but in the countries Immediately interested in the
free navigation OF the Amazon. The last arrival from
South America brings the gratifying intelligence that
Bezu, the enlightened President OF Bolivia by decree
OF January 27,h. 1858, has thrown open all the Bolivian
tributaries OF the Amazon and La Plata that navga
BILE, to the commerce OF the world and offered reward
OF ten Thousand dollars to the of the frat
that shall reach any OF these tributaries, either by
the La Plata or the Amazon.
Lieut. Gibbon, who sent out about two years
ago with Lieut. Herndon, United States navy explore
the Amazon from its TO its mouth, has just ar
rived. We have had the pleasure OF conversing with
him upon the subject OF this most interesting expedition
He passed through the Bolivian provinces which are
thus thrown open to the commerce OF all nations and
describes that whole region of the most beautiful
productive and finest countries on the face OF the earth
In his opinion, there materials enough there TO
give rise to commerce of several millions of dollars
year, and that Of this value would spring up
the moment free transit is secured for il up and down
the Amazon, through the territories of Brazil.
Considering the large space which that region OF coun
try has OF late been made to occupy in the public mind
in this hemisphere by the publication of the Inca and
other papers with regard to it, by the recent exploration
OF il by officers OF the American navy, regard this
action OF the Bolivian government subject of public
congratulaion.
From this Decree we think. will commence new era
for the Spanish republics OF South America.
The revolution which the free navigation of the ANA
ION and its tributaries and of the La Plata and its tribu
taries is to make in the commerce OF those republics will
be greater than that which the commerce of Europe
derwent in consequence of the passage of Vasco de
Cana around the Cape of Good Hope.
Lieutenant Gibbon has, he informs US, list OF 10 900
abandoned silver mines in that country, many OF them
upon this water shed. The silver ore has been taken
from the veins until the miners reached the water, and
them for the want of the OF drainage OF these
mines have been abandoned
The machinery heretofore used in the drainage OF those
mines was only SUCH our readers should bear in mind,
could be transported upon the backs OF mules from the
seashore across the Andes. With the Amazon open, it
may be taken by almost the very spot where
is wanting. and OF course, then, with the ability pro-
larger machinery, this decree may be expected to
give new impulse TO the working of the silver mines
Of Potosi and elsewhere
We propose to publish at an early day this important
decree OF Bolivia; it is in the hands of the trans
lator.
