GENTLEMEN: We have carefully inspected the different specimens of American manufactures to which you have invited our attention, and which are enumerated in the annexed schedule. Without attempting to distinguish the comparative excellence of each article, it is sufficient to state generally that the present exhibition has furnished the most gratifying evidence of the advances of American ingenuity and skill. While it proves that the most useful and important branches of manufacture have already attained to a very high degree of perfection in the United States, it must go far to remove any remaining prejudices against the American system. We take the liberty of suggesting, that exhibitions of American manufactures, held annually in this city, and commencing at an earlier period of the session of congress, would no doubt be productive of important national benefits. We are, respectfully yours, &c. Writing and medium paper; William Meeteer, Bal-Messrs. W. R. Dickinson, Redwood Fisher, Paper, letter and foolscap; Andrew I. Allen, Boston, Hats; John M.

EXTRACTS FROM THE MESSAGE Of the vice president of the republic of Colombia, acting as president, to the congress of 1825. [TRANSLATED FOR THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.] From the supplement to the Gazette of Colombia. "His catholic majesty, so far from relinquishing his old pretensions to the sovereignty of these countries, warned, as he has been, by justice, experience and the ruin of the Spanish nation, still retains his hostile views, nor is there the least prospect of reconciliation." "Congress may remain satisfied that our means of defence are most abundant, and, whatever enterprise may be attempted by Spain, will only end in her disgrace, and add to the lustre of our arms." "Our relations with the American governments are on the footing of friendship and good intelligence, that ought ever to exist between states maintaining the same cause. The assistance we have afford Peru has produced such an important change in that country, that her independence can no longer be matter of doubt." "The government of Mexico has just presented a terrible example to the usurpers of the power of the people. The general Iturbide contemned the law which banished him, and entered the Mexican territory in a manner which alarmed the government. An act of congress declared him a traitor, and condemned him to die, which sentence was accomplished without the least disturbance. By this conduct, it any opposition, the state of sovereignty, for which "The provinces of Guatimala preserve, without ed minister, on the part of that government, to this they declared by their spontaneous will. An accreditable opportunity for us to understand each other on republic, resides in the capital. This affords a favorthe boundaries between Colombia and Guatimala, is points deeply interesting to both parties. The fixing for some strangers have pretended to speculate on a point of the utmost necessity at the present moment, the Mosquito Shore, and the interior boundary is entirely uncertain. The executive, according to the fundamental law of the 12th July, 1821, has claimed, as belonging to the republic, the whole of the Atlantic Chagres; deeming all colonies unlawful, that have coast between Cape Gracios a Dios, and the river not been planted with the permission of the government, and in virtue of the laws of Colombia." "The agitated state in which Brazil has hitherto remained, has prevented our entering into relations of amity and good will with that government, with whom we ought also to settle the important question of boundaries." "With the United States we maintain the most friendly and cordial relations. You will have before you in a short time, for your examination and approbation, the treaty of peace, friendship, navigation the government of those states." and commerce, that the executive has concluded with "Colombia will be proud of having been the first ed itself to the world, united, by means of public of the old Spanish American states that has presentgenius of liberty.

After some further observations, the message adds"All these consideration have caused the executive to lay by the proposition of the Haytien agent, until the assembly of the plenipotentiaries of the American governments shall meet. Our allies and France will see, in this noble proceeding, the good faith and principles on which the policy of the Colombian government is founded, and France, in particular, will observe that we have acted in the most open manner, in the steps we have taken, to incline his most christian majesty in favor of the republic, and that we do not attribute to the French government the suspicious and insidious conduct observed by persons who came to Colombia in the frigate Tarne, whose voyage appears to have been undertaken to visit this country and observe the state of its affairs." "The tranquility enjoyed by the republic has permitted the executive to provide for the propagation of the new mode of instruction; to augment the number of colleges; to establish new professorships, and to reform some colleges which were yet suffering from the old colonial system of education, and from the horrors of war," &c. "Congress may rest assured that the conduct we have pursued in this affair has received the approbation of the most respectable foreigners who have been able to comprehend all its difficulties." "It is very important to the public prosperity, and to the national credit, to provide for funding the national debt. Every year new difficulties are added to those already accumulated on this subject. The debt embraces different epochs, different objects and creditors, which have not been properly classed.Although, during the last session, one act on this subject was passed, you will agree, with the executive, that it is very imperfect. "The army has continually given proofs of its obedience to the laws. Although within the republic there have been no enemies for it to contend with, it has remained on the war footing required by European politics. "Our navy is receiving all the increase and strength that our present circumstances admit of. The Columbian flag is respected in every sea; and wherever it has fought against the Castilian flag, it has left a monument of our superiority. The message closes as follows: "In general, I am able to assure you, that the order "Naval schools have been formed in Carthagena and regularity of the progress of the constitutional and Guayaquil, as far as the limited means at the rule, has suffered no alteration.
