the emancipation of the latter from f uropean tranldorn, to a new era in Oriental trade. Amongst the consequences bound up in this great eveut, that of increasing to the United States the commercial, if not the geographical facilities of intercoure with China and the East Indies,may safely be lookM to as one : Placed at a middle point between Asia and Europe, with some of their ports stretching almost to the southern 'Atlantic, others opening on the Gulph of Mexico, whilst new ones may be expected to rise up even upon their maritime border, at the remote West the coast of the Pacific, it may reasonably be believed, that they will become largely the connecting link of trade be
tween the new Republics and the East, besides
sing of all nations to offer proposals for executing the work. Those made by the company
of which Mr Palmer is the general agent, were

ful issue of this importantnegociation. jand it is probable that the independencenf Xeu .Vuf. .four. iCJranada and eueuela will eventually be ae-
cilities, the trade with the East, more properly their own, and that also which consists in carrying the productions of the East to Europe. The enterprising and experienced navigators of the United States, already familiar with all the coasts and islands of the Asiatic seas, w ill not be slow to avail themselves of every new opening, to trade with regions so enriching regions exhaustless from their fertility, and
the population with which they teem; that have swelled the tide of wealth to ancient kingdom and empires, as to modern Venice, Por
tugal, and England, their own wealth seeming to be perpetual, the foundations of it still continuing toexist,as they were originally laid, as well in the costly&cxquisite fabrications of art, ever distinguished those regions, as in their immense natural riches. If the channels of intercourse with the Oriental world were once through the interior seas and gulphs of Asia, and afterwards round the Southern promontory of Africa, there is nothing unreasonable in the belief that thcnextgreatchange,achangc springing out of the force of natural, no less than political causes, will be through this continent: at all events, that new and inviting chan
nelsto this intercourse are destined to run in this direction. Under every prospective and future view , therefore of the resolution submitted to the House; under every anticipation of its effect, whether immediate and certain, or probable, though more remote, it is believed that that effect upon the commerce and navigation of the United States, will be propitious; and that the present moment is that at which a
w ise torecast recommends it to the highest de grce of favor and attention. There are epochs in nations that form great and fundamental divisions in their history, moral, political, commercial. The discovery of this continent itself was fcarcely followed by greater results upon the condition of nation, than may be expected to llow, in due time, from its emancipation from Europe: a rcllection, w ith at leat a sufficient semblance of truth to heighten our
conception of the true tor.e and character of the commercial measures proper to be put in train by the United States, in connexion with a political revolution so awakening; eo momentous.
