much interest, and from additional infor.
nation recently received, the probability
Is that it will surpass any exhibition Of
the kind that the world has yet seen. II
Is important that the American public
should be informed of some facts in rels-
tlon to it, in order that those who intend
to exhibit productions of American Art OF
Industry may make suitable preparations
commensurate with the requirement of the
occasion, and such as will be creditable to
our notable character. The Exposition is
to open on the lst of April, 1867, and to
close on the 3Ist of October of the same
year. All applications for the admission of
articles to be exhibited, must be presented
before the Sd of October, 1866, previous to
which time, also, plan or chart of the Uni
ted States, TO which space will be put. Each
nationality, respectively, must be made, by
foreign commissioners, on prescribed scale
and sent TO the Imperial Commissioners
detailed plans of articles, and their dis
tribution in the space assigned for them
must be furnished on the same scale by our
own commissioner, as well as materials for
an official catalogue before the 3lst of JAN
usry 1866. As Congress has not been in
session since the proposed exhibition was
determined upon, and as that body will not
convene until the limit for applications and
other preliminsries TO the proceeding of
the exhibitors has passed, and as our gov
ernment is without any appropriation, and
legal authority which would enable the
Executive to take steps involving an ex-
penditure, it would be well for leading rep
resentstIves of the classes interested in the
matter to concert such measures as may
be deemed expedient to promote the cred
table representation of the United States.
1t may be presumed thst Congress will do
as much, if not more than on similar occa-
IONS heretofore in providing for transport
att, n of articles and in other respects.
SENIOR DON C. sALGAR.
Sen, II Don q. SAlgar, who for some time
past has represented the Columbian States
as Envov Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipoten %ary, to day took leave of the
President in bis di, >tOmstic character, and
made some spl 'ropriate remsrks on the oc-
cssion, in which he spoke II the gratlhca-
tion afforded him by the frste. nal and un-
interrupted relations of the two >9untrles,
and concluded as follows:
"Oolumbis, in her place. has sympa. ey
with your cslsmities and with your victo-
ries. She has celebrated with jubilee the
return of peace and the guarantee of hu-
mAnitsrian sentiment as 30 many addi-
tional bands of union and so many further
principles of conserv alton for countries
formed by democratic institutions. Per-
NIT me to renew to you the wishes which
the President and people of Columbia
make for your personal happiness, aIad for
the prosperity of the American people,
and to assure you that inseparating myself
from this country shsll carry with me
agreeable recollections of my sojourn in il,
and of Its hospitable and cultivated 30
ciety."
Mr.. SALGAR: 1t is with sincere regret
that receive the letter of rec..n which
brings your mission to the United States to
close. 1t is very gratifying, however, to
be assured, as we are by President Nor
relic that you have laid down your trust
only to assume another and equally di gni-
fed one in the service of your estim Gble
government. Do not omit to assure the
President of Columbia that the Uni4ed
States adhere totheir republican principles
constantly, and especially to their policy of
seeking to receive, through a peaceful
course, the establishment of free institutions
throughout the American continent, aud
the development of the vast resources with
which it has been bOuntifully supplied by
q just Providence, for the general benefit
of mankind.
Accept, sir, for President Morrello, the
assurance of my abiding respect and for
yurself personally, the expression of sin
cere esteem.
