Swearing in of the Vice President

Congress having at the last session, in conse
quence of the illness of Mr.. King, passed an act
authorizing the administering of the oath ofoi
fee to him by Consul at Cuba, that ceremony was
performed on the 4th inst, of which the New Or
leans Picayune has the following cccount in a
private |. tier from Mantanzas:
"For the first time in the history OF the Repub-
llc has the man chosen by the people for the sec
ond post ofhonor taken the oath of Office in for
eign land. William Rufus King on the 4th
inst, sworn in as Vice President of the United
States, at the Gumbre, near Mantazas.
The day was beautiful one; the clear blue
sky of the tropics over our head, the emerald car
pet of Cuba beneath feet, and the delicious
sea breeze of these latitudes sprinkling its cool
ness over all of us. Early in the morning Consul
Rodney, deputed by Judge Sharkey to administer
the oath, left town on horseback for the Cumbre,
accompanied by several American gentlemen. A
pleasant ride of thee miles broughtus 10 the es-
tate where Mr.. King was residing, called La Cum
bre, (the peak) from its situation on the culmi
mating point of the hills that Immediately surround
Mantanzas The view from here is one OF the
most beautiful the eye ever looked upon. Far as
the vision could reach in this clear blue eXpanSe
the beautiful valley of the Yurmuri extended with
its winding river, its varying fields of green and
gold, dotted here and there with emerald, and the
brown hills stretching far, far away in the distance
No more lovely or impressive spot could have been
found in the whole world for the ceremony, and
the solemn grandeur of the act and of the scene
shed its spirit over
The oath was administered by Consul Rodney
TO the Vice President who ready and waiting
our arrival. The voante was brought up to the
door, and Mr.. King stepped into ii, in order to
ride into MantanZns before the sun should be too
high to make it pleasant. The whole caval-
cade, consisting of twelve or fifteen American
gentlemen, Immediately mounting, and forming os
an escort around the carriage, accompanied the
Vice President to town.
The Creoes who had gathered on the lawn round
the house, uncovered, and many heartfelt Uaya pd
con Dios GOD be with, you) broke from their lips
as they code away, On the road 10 town the ma
tives, wherever we met them, silently uncovered
as we approa ched, and as we passed sped after us
the same universal salutation. A few Spaniaris,
standing in gloomy ire at the doors of their shops,
viewed us in silence, or muttered sullrn ajo as
the dust from horses feet flew in their faces
Mr.. King left Mantanzas on the same day for
the estate of Mr.. Chatham, in the partido of Linn
omar, about eighteen miles from here. His health
is very poor, and no one accustomed to pa ,
tients with pulmonary disease in this climate, but
knows he cannot survive very long. He may live
for months in this mild climate, but he can never
be better. The old statesman views his coming
late with calmness, one who has fought the
good fight, and will lay hold of eternal life.'

The Navigation OF the Amazon and La
Platl Rivers.

Slatl RIVERS.
The Washington Union of Thursday morning
furnishes the following interesting, well rs i'm
portant information in relation TO recent events
that will THROW open To the commerce of our coun
try an immt nse and fertile region OF South Amen .
ca: ...
The last arrival from South America brings us
tn gratifying intelligence that Belzu, the en-
lightened President of Bolivia, by decree of Jan
uary 9th, 1853, has thrown open all the Bolivian
tributaries of the Amazon and La Plata that are
navigable, to the CONNIE rec of the world, and of
Tered reward OF ten thousand dollars 10 the mas
Ter of the first steamer that shall reach any ono OF
these tributaries, either by the La Plata the Am
aZon. .-
Lieut.. Gibbon, who was sent out about two
years ago with Lieut.. Herndon, United States Ma
Wy, TO explore the Amazon flom its sources to its
mouth, has just arrived. We have had the pleas
ure OF converslng with him upou the subject OF
this most interesting expedition.
He passed through the Bolivian provinces which
are thus thrown open to the commerce OF all ma =.
lions, and describes that whole region as one OF
the most beautiful, productive, and finest coun-
tries on the face of tie eaIth In his opinion,
there are now materials enough there TO give rise
10 q commerce of several millions of dollars q
year, and that commerce of this value would
spring up the moment free transit is secured for
1t up and down the Amazon, through the terrific
rieS of Brazil. a.-rrr.
Considering the large space which that region OF
country has of late been made TO occupy in the
public mind in this hemisphere by the publication
of the "lnca" and other papers with regard to it.,
by the recent exploration OF it by officers of the
American navy, we regard this action of the Boil
Wan government as a sub beet OF public congratu-
aton.
From this decree, we think, will commence
new era for the Spanish republics ofScuth Amer
lea.
The revolution W hich the free navigation of the
Amazon and its tributaries and of the La Plata and
its tributaries is TO make in the commerce of those
republics will be greater than that which the
commerce of Europe underwent in consequence of
the passage of Vasco de Cana round the Cape of
Good Hope
Lieut.. Gbbon has, he informs us, list of 10, OOr
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 reach.
ed the water, and then, for the want of the means
of drainage, most OF these mines have been aban-
doned.
The machinery heretofore used in tile drainage
OF those mines was only such, our readers should
bear in mind, as could he transported upon the
backs of mules from the seaShore across the An
DIES With the Amazon open, it may be taken by
water almost TO the very spot where it is wanting
and of course, then, with the ability to procure
larger machinery, this decree may be expected to
give n:w impulse TO the working Of the silver
mines of Potosi and elsewhere. a-51

taking ino consideration the CO It of difference in

difference in the favor of Northern Route, but
that is not all. If the Road is brought in by the
