To prevent any such new European Colonics,
<Ud to warn Europe belorehand (hat they are not
hereafter to be admitted, the President wishes you
to propose* joint declaration of the several Ameri
can Slates, each, however, acting for and binding
only itself, that within the limits of their respec
tive territories, no new European Colony will
hereafter be allowed to be established, li is not
intended to commit the parties, who may concur
in that declaration, ?o the suppmlof the particular
boundaries whicL may be claimed ly any one of
them; nor is it proposed to commit tiiern to a joint
resistance against any future attempt to plant a
new European Colony, tt is belteved that the mor
al ethn-t alone of a joint declaration, emanating
lrom the authority ol all the American nations,
will effectually serve to prevent the effort to es
tablish any such new Colony; hut if it should not,
and the attempt should actually be made, it will
then lie lime enough (or the American powers (o
consider the propriety of negotiating between
themselves, and, it necessary, of adopting in con
cert the measures which may he necessary to
cheek and prevent it. Thciespect which is due
to themselves as well as io Europe, requires that
they should rest iu confidence that a declaration,
thus solemnly put toitli, mil command universal
deference. It will not he necessary to give to the
declaration, now proposed, the torm of a Treaty.
It may be signed by the several Ministers at the
Congress, and promulgated to the world as evi
dence of the sense of all the American powers.
Among the subjects which must engage the
consideration of tho Congress, scarcely any has an
interest so powerful and commanding as that which
belongs to Cuba and Porto Rico, the former *spe
ctslly. Cuba, from its position, the present amount
and iho character of its population, that which it
is capable of sustaining, its vast, though almost
latent resources, is at present the great object of
retraction both to Europe and America. No paw
rr, not even Spain itself, has, i: such a variety of
form*, «o deep Mi interest iu it-; future lorlunes,
whatever they inay happen to ‘..e, as the United
States. Our policy in regard to it is fully &. frank
ly disclosed in. the before-mentioned note to Mr.
Middleton. It is there stated, that, fur ourselves,
we desire no change in '.he possession or political
condition of that island; and that wo could not,
with indifference, see it tiunT.rred from Spain to
ony other European power. We ar e unwilling to
r-ee its transfer or annexation to eitherof the neiv
American States. If the present wjr should much
longer continue, there are three conditions, into
mine of which, that island may („ll during its fur
tl er progress, and allot them deserve the most par
t -ularand serious consideration. The first i«, its in
< ej.endence, ret.i;ng at the close of the wurupon
its own unassisted resources to maintain that inde
;endence. 2dly. Its independence, with the guar
anty of other powers, either o! Europe or of Ame
• ca, or both. And, 3dly, Its conquests Rnd r'tach
mcnt to the duminions of tlic pcpublic of Colombia
or Mexico. We will now examine each of those
predicaments of the islaud, in the order in which
they have ticcn elated.
1. if Cuba had the ability, within itself, of n.aia
‘ .lining nn independent self-government against j
.11 assaults from witiiout or within,we should prefer |
to see it in that state; because we desire the hap- j
pines* of others as well as ourselves, and we be
lieve that is, in the general, most likely to be se
'Mjred by a iocul government springing directly
from, ant identified in feeling, interest, and sympa
t’ • pE i > ue governed. But a mere
gU re ■ the limited eKteut, rnoi al condition, and
discordant character of its popuintion, must con
viucc allot it* incompetency, ut present, to sus
tain self-government unaided by other powers.
And if at this premature period an attempt at inde
pendence should be so for attended with success as
to Lr"*!; the connexion with Spain, one portion of
the inhabitants of the island, as well as their
neighbours in the United States, and in some other
directions, would live in continual dread of those
tragic scenes which were formerly exhibited in a
neighbouring island, the population of which would
I e tempted, by the very fact of that independence,
to employ all the incans which vicinity, similarity
of origin and sympathy could supply, to foment and
stimulate insurrection, in order to gain ultimate
strength to their own cause.
2. A guaranteed independence of Cuba, although
it might relieve the island from the dangers which
1 ave been just noticed, would substitute others
not less formidable, and which, it is believed, are
almost insuperable. Who shall be the garantyin*
I owers? Shall they be exclusively American, or
mixed, partly American and partly European?
vYhat shall be the amount of their respective con
tributions to the protecting force, military & naval,
and to the other menus necessary to uphold the
local government? Who shill have the command
of that force? Will not the guarantying Powers,
not in command, entertain continual anpiehensions
and jealousies of the commanding Power? The
candid mult own that these ore perplexing ques
. an#; and that,upon (hr whole,although all thought
Of that modification of independence should i,,
perhaps, be di united as absolutely inadmissible,
t.nder any possible circumstances, it must be *
i reed t j bs one, to which if assent is ultimate! v
yielded, it r >t be reluctantly, front it Pin ol
-sf*vw --r .r* w. -~~rjs
3. W ith respeci to the conquest and annexa
tion of the island to Colombia or Mexico, it should
be remarked that, if lha' bo attempted, the whole
character ol the present war will be entirely
changed. Hitherto,on the part ol the republics,
the contest has been tor independence and sell- |
j government, and they have had, on their side, the j
good wishes and the triendty sympathies of a large j
; portion of the world, and those especially of the
j people of the United States. Hut in the event of j
i a military enterprise ibrectcd against Cuba, it will ,
► become a war of conquest. In such a war, what
ever may be the result ot that enterprise,the inter- •
osts ot other powers, now neutral, may he serious- ‘
ly aflected, and they may be called upon to per
Itorin important duties, which they may not
be at liberty to neglect. The issue o! such a war
tnay have great influence upon the balance and
t stability ol power in the West Indies. Nations of
Kurope may feel themselves requited to interpose
foyibly, to arrest a course ol events to which they
cannot be indifferent. 11 they should limit their 1
interposition merely to the object of preventing any
change in the existing state ol things, in reaper!
lo the islands, the U. Stales, lar from being under
any pledge, at present, to oppose them, might
! iind themselves, contrary to their inclination, re
luctantly drawn by a current of events to their!
! side. In considering such an enterprise as has
I been supposed, il it be undertaken, there ought to 1
| be an anxious and deliberate examination Gist, in
I to the menus of Colombia and Mexico to nccom
; plish the object; and secondly, their power to pre
serve and defend the acquisition, il made. We
j have not the data necessary to form a certain
judgment on the first j oint. 'W« ought to possess, I
; to enable us to lorm such a judgment, a knowledge j
| first, of tire force, military and naval, which the 1
[ republics can apply to the operation; secondly, i
j that which Spain can oxeit in assistance; and,
| thirdly, what portion of the inhabitants of the is!- j
I >ud would take part on the one and on the other :
: side of the belligerents. Although we have not
this information in ample detail, wo know that
I Spain is in actual possession, with a very consi
derable military force; that this force, recently
touch strengthened, occupies the Moro Castle,
deemed almost impregnable, and other strong
holds in the island; that driven, m she has b< cn,
| train the continent of A met tier means and
all her eflbrls will now be concentrated on this
most valuable of her remaining American posses
sion*; that to this end she will apply her attention,
which has been hitherto too much distracted by
the multitude ol her belligerent exertions in North
and South America, exclusively to this most im
portant point; that lo its succour she will gather up
ifoni her vast wreck, the residue of her once pow
erlul army in Kuropc and America; and that there
is reason to believe, that if she should not be
openly assisted by any ol the Kuropean j^owers,
die may receive from them covert but irresnonsi
ble aid. >> ith all these resources and favorable
circumstance combined, it must be admitted that
the conquest of Cuba is very difficult if not im
practicable, without extensive and powerful
means, both naval and military. Hut, secondly,
do cither Colombia or Mexico possess such means?
\i e doubt it. They have both to create r. ma
rine. A single ship of the line, two frigates, aud
three cr four vessels of a smaller grade, badly
manned, compose the whole naval force of the
United Mexican States. That of Colombia is not
much greater, nor better manned. Hut the means
ol transporting and defending, during its voyage,
the military force necessary to achieve the'con
quest, are absolutely indispensable. Nay, more;
it would be in the last degree rash and imprudent
to throw an army into Cuba, unless the two repub
lics possessed and could retain a naval superiority
at least in the Gulfof Mexico, to provide for those
contingencies which ought always tote anticipa
ted in the vicissitudes of war. And, in the third
place, it is well known that the inhabitants ot Cu
ba, far from being united in favor of invasion, en- !
lertain great apprehensions as lo their future safe- I
ty, in such an event, and that they especially i
dread an invasion from Colombia, on account '
of the character of a portion of the troops of that
republic.
But if ill difficulties were surmounted, am) the
conquest o! the island was once tilected, we should
not he without continual fears of the instability of
its future condition. The same want of naval pow
er, which woutd be felt in reducing would bo sub
sequently experienced ia defending and preserv
ing it. Neither Colombia nor Mexico is destined
to be a first rate naval power. They both, (Mex
ico still more than Colombia,) want an extent ol
sea coast, bays, inlets, and harbors, the nurseries
of seamen; in short, all the essential elements of
a powerful marine. Lnglaud, France, the Neth
erlands, Spain herself, when she shall, as at some
no very distant day she must, recover from her
present debility, will, for a long time to come, if
not forever, as naval powers, outrank either .Mex
ico or Colombia. A war with any one of those
European nations would plr.ee Cuba, in the hands
of either of those two Republics, at the most im
minent hazard. It is impossible for the (Govern
ment of the United States to close their eyes to
tire fact, that, in the event of a military enterprise
being prosecuted by the Republics against Cuba,
the ships, the seamen, the cannon, aod the other
naval means necessary to conduct it, will have
been principally obtained in the United States.
Although, far from giving any countenance t® the
procurement of those supplies, determined to main
tain a faithful neutrality, they have dirocted a
strict enforcement of their laws; the fact, never
theless of their being collected within their ports,
subjects them to unfriendly and injurious suspi
cions. And they would see, with much repug
nance, resources drawn from themselves applied j
to the accomplishment of an object to which their I
policy and their interests are opposed.
The President hopes that these considerations,
enforced by such others as may present themselves
to yon, if they should not be deemed ol sufficient
weight to prevent altogether ar.y invasion of Cu
ba, will, at least, dissuade from any rash or pro
mature enterprise with inadequate or doubtful
means. And it is required, by the frank and
friendly relations which we most anxiously desire
ever to cherish with the new Republics, that you
should, without reserve, explicitly state, that the
United States have too much at stake in the for
tunes of Cuba, to allow them to see, with indif
ference, a war of invasion prosecuted in a desola
ting manner, or to see employed, in the purposes
of such a war, one race of the inhabitants com
bating against another upon principles and with 1
motives that must inevitably lead, if not fo the ex- !
termination of one party or the other, to the most !
shocking excosses. The humanity of the United j
States, in respect to the weaker, and which, in j
such a terrible struggle, would probably be the I
sufferings portion, and (heir duly to defend them- 1
selves against the contagion of such near and dan- I
gerous examples, would constrain* them, even at I
the hazard of losing the friendship, greatly as they
value it, of Mexico and Colombia,to employ all the
means necessary to their security.
If you should be unable to prevail on these Re
publics to renounce all designs of tbe invasion and
conquest of Cuba arid Porto Rico, you will then
exeit your endeavors l® induce them to suspend
the execution of them until the result is known of
the interposition which wc are authorized to be
lieve the lato Emperor of Russia, and his allies, at
the instance of the United Statps, have made to
put an end to the war, and that which has been i
; herein stated to have been recently made at the |
instance of the Republic of Colombia. Such a j
suspension is due to Russia. It would be a defer- !
cnce to that great power which (he reigning Em
peror s-iuld not fail to appreciate, and the value ol •
which the new Republics might hereafter experi
ence, if in this instance, tbe counsels, which we
have reason to believe will have bepn given to
Spain, should not he followed. But there i» much
reason to hope, that Spain will pause before she
rejects them, a d will sec her true interest, as all
the world sees it, on the ride of peace, and the h'e
events, the fall of the Castles of San Juan it’ Ul
lo \ and of Callao especially, must have a powerful
effect in urging her to terminate the war.
A cut or canal for purposes of navigation, some
where through the Isthmus that connects the two
Americas, to unite the Pacific and Atlantic oceans,
will form n proper subject of consideration at ti e
Congress*. 'Thai vast object, if it should ever h<
accomplished, will in* Interesting in a creator or
less degree fo all parts of the world. But to this
| continent r.-Mi probably accrue the largest amount
ofbencfd from its execution, and (oCofomSia. M <t

all America should he effected by common means,
and united exertions, and should not be left to the
separate and unassisted effort* of any one power.
In the present limited state of our information
as to tin* practicability and the probable expense
ot the object, it would not he wise to do more
than to make soinu preliminary arrangements.—
'1 he he >t routes will be, most likely, found in the
territory of Mexico, or that ol the Central Repub
lic. The latter Republic made to this Govern
ment, on the Sth day of February of last year, in
a note which Mr. Canar., its Minister here, ad
dressed to this Department, (a copy of which i»
now furnished) n liberal offer, manifesting high
and honorable confidence in (lie U. S. The answur
which the President instructed me to givo (of
which a copy is also now placed in your hands)
could go ho further than to mak«* suitable acknow
ledgments for the friendly overture, and to assure
tho Cential Republic that measures would be a
dopted to place the United Slates hi the possession
of the information necessary to enlighten their
judgment. If the work should ever he executed,
so as to admit of the passage of sea vessels from
ocean to ocean, the benefits of it ought not to he
exclusively appropriated to auv one nation, hut
should he extended to all partsof the globe upon
the payment of a just ccnnpensatiou,or teasonable
tolls. What is must desirable at present is, to|>os
xess the data necessary to form a correct judgment
of the practicability and tho probable expense of
the undertaking, of the routes which offer the
greatest facilities. Measures may have been al
ready executed, or be in progress to acquire the
requisite knowledge. You will enquire particu
larly as to what has been done nr may have been
designed by Spam, or by either of the New
States'; and obtain all other information that may
In- within your reach, to solve this interesting pro
blem. Vou will state to the Ministers of the other
American power-, that the Government ot the U•
nitod Sl.itcstal.es a lively inlet est in the exeeu
tijii of tho work; ami will s.-.e with peculiar satis
1 iciiou, that it lies within the compass of reasona
ble human efforts. Their proximity and local in
formation render them more competent than the
United States arc a*, this time, to estimate the diffi
culties to bo overcome. You will receive and
transmit to this Government, any proposals that
may be made, or plans that may be uiggexted tor
il« joint execution, with assurances that they will
he attentively examined, with an earnest desire to
reconcile the interests and views of all the Amer
ican Nations.
ii win prooatuy do proposcu, as a lit subject ot
consideration lor the powers represented at Pana
m i, whether llayti ought to he recognized by
them as an independent State; imd whether any
decision taken, in that respect, should be joint, or
each power be left to pursue the dictates ol its
own policy. The President is not prepared now
to say, that llayti ought to be recognized as an in
dependent Sovereign power. Considering the na
ture and the manner of the establishment of the
governing power in that Island, and the little re
spect which is there shown to other races than the
African, the question of acknowledging its inde
pendence, was tar from being unattended with
difficulty, prior to the late arrangement, which, it
is understood., has been made between France and
Hayti. According to that arrangement, if we
possess correct inlorination of its terms, the parent
country acknowledges a nominal independence in
the colony, and, as a part of the price of this ac
knowledgment, Hayti agrees to receive forever
the produce ot France at a rate of duty one hall
belowth.it which is exacted, in the ports of llay
ti, fr om all other n uions. This is a restriction up
pon Che freedom of its action, to which no Sove
reign power, reallv inilrusnHi nt, would ever cut,,
scribe. There is uo equivalent on the side ol
France, in the favorable terms oil which the pro
duce of Hayti is received in the ports of France.
If the colonial reb'ton may be correctly describ
ed to bo the monopoly ol the commerce of the Col
ony, enjoyed by the parent State, it cannot be af
firmed that Hayti has not voluntarily, by that ar
rangement, consented to its revival. There was
no necessity urging her to agree to it, however
she may have been called upon, by just and equi
table considerations, to indemnify the ionnor indi
vidual proprietors for the loss ot their properly in
St. Domingo, l’rior to the conclusion of that ar
rangement, Hayti enjoyed, no matter how estab
lished, a sort of independence, in f at. I)y that
arrangement, she has voluntarily, and in a moat
essential particular, in respect to all foreign na
tions, changed tier character, and has become, to
say the least, not an Independent State. Under
the actual circumstances of llayti, the President
does not think that it woi^id be proper, at this time,
to recognize it as a New State. The acknow
ledgment, or declining to acknowledge, the Inde
pendence of Hayti, is not a measure of sufficient
magnitude to require that, in eitiicrof the alterna
tives, it should be the result of a concert between
all the American powers.
You will avail yomselvc.3 of all suitable occa
sions to press upon tho Ministers of the other
American States the propriety ol a free toleration
al Religion, within their respective limits. The
framers of our Constitution of Government have
not only refrained fr om incorporating with the
State any peculiar form ol religious worship, but
they have introduced ati express prohibition upon
the power of our Congress to make any law res
pecting an establishment of religion. With us,
none are denied the right which belongs to all—
to worship God according to the dictates of their
own consciences, in our villages and cities at the
same hour, often in the same square, and by the
same kind of summons, congregations of the pi
ous and devout of every religious denomination,
are gathered together in their respective temples,
and after perf inning according to their own so
lemn convictions their religious duties, quietly re
turn and inis together in the cheeiful fulfilment
of their domestic and social obligations. Not uh
frequently the heads ol the same family, apper
taining to different seem, resort to two different
churches, to offer tip in their own chosen way
their orison?, each bringing back to the common
household stock the moral instruction which both
have derived from their respective pastors. In the
United Slates, we experience no inconvenience
from the absence of any religious establishment,
and the universal toleration which happily ore
vails. n e believe that none would be felt by
athor nations who should allow equal religious
freedom. It would be deemed rash to assert that
civil liberty and an established church cannot ex
ist together in the same State; but it maybe safe
ly affirmed that history affoids no example of their
union where the religion of the State has not on
ly been established, but exclusive. If any of the
American powers think proper to introduce into
their systems an established religion, although we
should regret such a determination, we would
have no right to make n formal complaint unless
it should Ue exclusive. As the citizens of any of
tha American Nations have i right, when here,
without hindrance, to worship the Deity ttccord
ing to the dictates of their own consciences, our
citizens ought to be allowed the same privilege
when, prompted by business or inclination, they
visit any of the American States. You are accord
ingly authorized to propose a joint declaration, (o
be subscribed by the Ministers of all ot any of tbe
Powers represented, that within their several li
mits there shall be free toleration of religious
worship. And you will also, in any treaty or
treaties that you may conclude, ehdeavorto have
inserted an article stipulating the liberty of reli
gious worship, in the territories of (lie respective
parties. When this great interest is placed ?n
the basis of such a solemn declaration, and such
binding treaty stipulations, it will h ive ail rea
sonable and practical security. And this new
guaranty will serve to give strength to the favor
able dispositions of enlightened rneu In the various
American States, against the influence of bigotry
and superstition. The declaration on this subject
in which you are authorized to unite, as well as
that directed agaiifst European colonization within
the territorial limits of any of the American na
tions, hereinbefore mentioned, docs no moro than
announce, in respect to the United States, the ex
isting state of their institutions and laws. Nei
ther contracts any new obligation, on their pari,
iu<r makes any alteration as to them, in the pro
ent condition of tilings. The President being
the organ through which this Government com
municates with Foreign ' Powers, and being
charged with the duty of taking cars that the
laws be faithfully executed, ii coinpelonl to autho
rize both declarations.
Questions ol boundary, and other matters of
controversy, among the n-*w American Powers,
will probably present (hem*-Ives, and ofwhirh an

[gross. \ our impartial and disinterested position,
in relation to any such disputes, may occasion
you to be*called upon for your advice and urapi
| r»Re. ^ ou will, whenever your assistance may
l>e required to settle those controversies,manifest a
| willingness to give your best counsel and tdvice;
; and, it it should tie desireu, you will also serve as
I arbitrators. A dispute is understood to have ex
j isted, and to remain vet unsettled between the
United Mexican States* ami the Central Republic,
in relation to the Province ot Chiupe. The’Presi
dent wishes you to give it a particular investiga
tion, and, it justice shall be found on the side of
the Republic of the Centre, you will lend to i»*
cause all the couu'ciiuncc and support which you
can give, without actually cpmfti tiling the United
States. 1 his act of friendship on our part, is due
a- wc.l on account of the high degree ol respect
anJ confidence which that Republic has, on seve
ral occasions displayed towards the United Stater,
as from its comparative weakness,
j t iiiully : i have it in charge to direct your at
| tentiou to the subject of the tormsof government,
and to the cause of tree institutions on this conti
nent. 1 he United States never have been, and
are not now animated by any spirit of propagan
dism. I hey preter, to alt other forms of govvrn
-ment. and are perfectly contented with, their own
confederacy.—Allowing no foreign interference,
either in the formation or in the conduct of their
government, they are equally scrupulous in re
iiaming from all interference in the original struc
ture or subsequent interior movement of the gov
ernments ot other independent nations. lnditll-r
ent they are not; because they cannot be indiller
ent to the happiness of any nation. But ihc inter- ]
cst which they are accustomed to cherish in the !
wisdoiy or lolly which may mark the Course of o
ther powers, in the adoption and execution of their
political systems, is rattier a feeling ot sympathy
than a principle of action. Ju the present instance
they would, conform to their general habit ol cau
tiously avoiding to touch oil a subject so delicate,
but that there is reason to lielievc that one Euro
pean power, if not more, has been active in both
Colombia and Mexico, if not elsewhere, with a
view to subvert if possible, the existing forms of
!r :e government* there established, to substitute !
the monarchical in place of them, and to plant, ou
the newly crectbd thrones, European Princes. In
both instances, it is due to our sister Republics,)
and otherwise proper to add, that the design met
with a merited and prompt repulse; but the spirit
which dictated it never slumbers, and it may be
renewed. The plausible motive held out, ami
which may be repeated, is that of a recognition of
the independence of (be new States, with assur
ances that the adoption of monarchical institutions
will conciliate the great powers of Europe. The
new Republics being Sovereign and Independent
States, and exhibiting (his capacity for self-gov
ernment at home, beum in tact acknowledged by
the United States ami tlreat Britain, and hating
entered into treaties and other national compacts
with foreign powers, have a clear right to be re
cognized.—From considerations of policy, the act
of recognition lias been delayed by some ol the Eu
ropean States, but it cannot tie much longer post
poned, and they will shortly find themselves re
quired to make the concession from a regard to
j their own interest, it they would not Irom a
! sense ot justice. But their recognition is not
! worm uuyittg, and no(imi»; would be more di<
honorable than that the Republics should purchase,
by mean compliances, the lormal acknowledgment
of that independence which has been actually won,
by so much valour a..d by so many sacrilices.
Having stool out agaiust all apprehensions of an
attempt ot the combined powers of Europe to
•ubdue them, it would he base and pusilani
I inous now, when they arc in the undisturbed
enjoyment ol the greatest ot human blessings,
! to yield to the secret practices or open mena
ces of any European power. It is not antici
j paled thut you will have any difficulty in dis
; suadiug them Iroiu entertaining or deliberating on
; such propositions. You will, however, take ad
vantage ol every lit opportunity to strengthen
! their political faith, anil to inculcate the solemn du
' <y «t every nation to reject all foreign dictation in

| deral ami State Constitution of (>overntueut, £t to
j illustrate and explain the manifold blessings which
the people of the United States, have enjoyed,
] and are continuing to *-ojoy under them.
The war which has recently broken out be
: tween the Republic of Ea Plata and the Emperor
' of Brazil is a cause of mojt siucere regret. To
that war the United States will be strictly neutral.
. The parties to it should feel themselves urged no
I less by all the interests which belong to tlisf re
cent establishment of their independence, than by
j principles of humanity, to bring it to a speedy
j close. One of the first measures, which has been
! adopted for its prosecution, by the Emperor of the
! Brazils, is to declare the whole coasts ol his cnc
; my, including entirely, and a part of the other
: chore of the La Plata, and extending as lar as Cape ;
! Horn, in a state ot blockade. That he Ins not
| the requisite naval force to render valid and to
maintain, according to the principles of the public
law, such a sweeping blockade, is quite evident.
Persistence in it must injuriously alfcct the inter
ests of neutrals, in the pursuit of their rightful com
merce, if it should involve no other consequences
<o them. Y ou will avail yourselves of every pro
per opportunity to represent to the parties how de
sirable it is to put an end to the war, and with
what satisfaction the United States would see the
blessings of peace restored. And it w ill occur to
: you, whilst remonstrating against any belligerent
■ practices which are not strictly warranted,to draw
| from the fact ol the Brazilian blockade fresh sup
• port to the great maritime principles to which you
: have been instructed to endeavor to obtain the
sanction of the American fiations.
I have the honor to be, gentlemen, your ob‘(

Department of State, )
Washington, 1 tith .March, 1S:.*7. $
j To .Messrs. John Sergeant and. J. H. Poinsett,
appointed Envoys Ex traordinary and .Minis
ters Plenipotentiary to Tacubaya, 4*c. fyc. $ c.
Gentlemen: Uy the appointment of Mr. Poin
sett, made by and with the advice and consent of
die Senate, as one ot the Ministers of the United
States to ttie Congress of the American Nations,
expected to assemble at Tacubaya, you have be
come associated in that mission. Air. Poinsett, it
is therefore anticipated, will he disposed cordially
to co operate in tho performance of those duties
which have been enjoined by the instructions
heretofore addressed to Mr. Anderson and “Mr.
Sergeant, or to either of them, so far as they re
main to be executed. And the President relies,
with great confidence, on the zeal and ability of
• both of you to promote, in this importont service,
the interests of our country.
The instructions addressed to Messrs. Anderson
and Sergeant have been snlficrently explicit as to
the nature of the assembly. According to our
views, it is to be considered as entirely diplomatic.
N'ooneof the represented nations is to be finally
bound by any treaty, convention, or compact, to
which it does not freely consent according to all
the forms of its owu particular Government. With
that indisputable qualification, the mode of con
ducting the conferences and deliberations of the
Ministers, is left to your sound discretion, keeping
in view the observations which have been made
! in your general instructions. I am induced again
, to advert to this topic, in consequence of a
letter from the Colombian Minister, under dale
the 20ih of November last, a (copy of which is
herewith transmitted,) from the tenor of which if
might probably be interred, as his opinion, that a
majority of voices in the assembly on any given
proposition, is to be decisive. We have not yet
obtained copies of tho treaties concluded at Pana
ma, which are mentioned in that note.—To these
we have a right, and we shall continue to expect
them.
V. e have no later information than that rryfain
i ed in Mr. Set gram’s despatch No 1f under date the
! 19th of January last, and its acconipanyinents, as
! to the prohahle time of the convention of the Mi
nisters of the several Powers. The course which
■ he adopted of announcing himself tp such of them
is hi.l arrived at Mexico, is approved. Prom tho
1 mswers he received to his n;>te, it appears that
j • iglit months, from the 15th of July last, were spe
cified as the period within which Hie treaties con
cluded at Panama were to be ratified, and when
h was expected the Congress would again meet.
That term expired on the 15th in*t. It is proha.
hie,•Trerefor ■> *.hat. V-t '* s : n r. «v« MTV**,
jf the various Power* will assemble at TaCubay*. \
But if they should not meet before the 1st of June I
“exf* Mr- Sergeant may. alter that day, return to
the 1/ nited States without further detention. In
the e veut ol his return, Mr. Poinsett will consider
the duties cf the joint mission as devolving on him
a-one-, and should the Congress assemble subse
quent to that period, and Mr. Seigcant should
avail himself of the permission now given him to
leave Mexico, Mr. Poinsett will atteud the Con
gress in behalf of the United States.
The intelligence which has reached us from ui<
Tift**’ as t0 a"»b?tious projects and views
of Holh ar, has abat&lvery much the strong hopes
w tneh were once entertained of the favorable re
sults ol the Congress of the American Nations. If
that intelligence be well founded, (as there is
iinicli reason to apprehend,) it is probable that he
docs not look upon the Congress in the same in
teresting light that he formerly did. Still tho ob
jects which are contemplated by your instructions
ire so highly iinpoi taut, that the President thiuks
their accomplishment ought not to bo abandoned
whilst any hope remains. Their value does uof
entirely depend upon the forms ol the governments
which may concur in their establishment, but
exists at all limes and under every form of gov
ernment.
^ ou will, in all your conversations and inter
course with the other Ministers, endeavor to
strengthen them in the laith ol free institutions,
and to guard them against any ambitious schemes
and plans, trom whatever quarter they may pro
ceed, tending to subvert liberal systems.
Mr. Rochester having been appointed Charge
ties Affaires to Guatemala, Mr. John Speed Smith,
ol Kentucky, formerly a member of the House of
H^reHentiitives, i$ appointed Secretary io your
Mission. In the event of his acceptance, (of which
advice has not yet reached the Department,) he is
expected to proceed from Kentucky, by the way
ol N. Orleans, to join you.
You arc at liberty to detain the bearer of this
letter a reasonable tunc to convey any despatches
you may wish to forward to this Government. If
you should not wish him to remain at Mexico for
that purpose, after stopping about two weeks to re
cover horn the t-itigucs of the journey and voyage,
be will return to the United States with such des
patches as you may confide to him.
I am, with great respect, your obedient servant,
