This morning we observed in the timber Yard, corner of Ninth and George street, an -apparatus : resembling a pair of. immense expanded ings On enquiry we understood, . that an ingenious -and adventurous gentleman vvas preparing them for an JT.riel cscem; and that he was so cbnfident cf the success of his project as to as;i, that he would goto New York in three hours. Ib. trtoM TtlK :;at. intelligencer. . . The following important Message v,aa yesterday transmitted by the President of the United States to the House of Rcprt " ' tatives. To the II. of Representatives of the United StGtes. In transmitting to the House of Rc presentatives the documents, called for by the resolution of that House of the 30th of January, 1 consider.u my duty to invite the attention of Congress to a very important subject, and to communicate the sentiments of the Executive on it, that, should Congress entertain similar sentiments, there may be such co operation between the two Departments of the Government, s their respective rights and duties may require. The UevrJiiiionary movement, in the Spanish Provinces in this hcmi3phere, attracted the attention, and excited the sympathy, of our fellow -citi-Sens, from its commencement. This fueling was natural and honorable to them, from causes which need net be Communicated to you. It has beon gratifying to all to see the general acquiescence which has been manifested, in the policy which the. constituted RiUhorities have deemed it proper to puisne, in regard to this contest. As :oon as thz movement assumed such a steady and consistent form as to make the success of the Provinces probable, the rights to which they were entitled by the law of nations, a3 equal parties to a civil war, were extended to them. Each party was permit icd to enter our ports with its public and private ships, and to take from them every article which wjs the subject of commerce with other nations. Our citizens also have carried on commerce with bo?h parties, . ar.d the government has protected it, rf 'uh each, tn articles not contraband of war.. Though the whole of this contest, the United S'.ats have remained neutral, and hav: fulfilled, with the utmost impartiality, a'l iho obligations incident to that character. This contest ha3 now reached such a stage, and been attended with such decisive succp.s3 on the part of the provinces, that it merits the most profound consideration, whether their rirht to the tank of independent na

tions; with ell the advantages incident to it, on their intercourse with 'heUnited Stiitea, is not complete. Bue-V nos Ayrea assumed that rank by a formal declaration in 1815, and has enjoyed it since 1810, free from invasion by the parent country. The Provinces composing the Republic of Colombia, after having separately declared their independence, were united, by a fundamental law of the 17th of December, 181? A etrong Spanish force occupied, at that time, certain parts of the Territory within their limits, and waged a destructive war. That force has since been repeatedly defeated, and the wncle of it either made prisoners, or destroyed, or expelled from the country, with the exception of an inconsiderable portion cnly, which is blockaded in two fortresses. The Provinces on the Pacific hare likewise been very successful. Chili declared independence ia 181G, and has since enjoyed it undisturbed; and cf late, by the assistance cf Chili and Buenos Ayres, the revolution haa extended to Peru. Of the movement in Mexico our information less authentic; bet it is, nevertheless, distinctly understood, that tho new government has declared its independence, and that thereisnowno opposition to it there, nor a force to make auy. For the last three yeara ths government of Spain has not sent a sing!c corps of troops to any part of that country; nor is there any reason to believe it will send any in future. Thus it Is manifest that all those Pro vlncea are not only in the full enjoytnept of their Independence, bot,con

aide r"in the slaic of the war end ether . circumstances, that there is not the most remote prospect of their being deprived of it When the result of tuph a contest is manifestly selected, the new governments have a claim to recognition by other powers, which ought not to be resisted. Civil wars too often excito . feelings whHh the parties cannot control. The opinion entertained by cth. er powers, as to the result may assuage those feelings, and promote an accommodation between them, useful and honorable to both. The delay which has been observed in making a decision on this important subject, will itis presumed, have afforded an unequivocal proo! to Spain, as it must have done toother powers; of the high respect entertained by the United States for her rights, and of their determination not to interfere with them. The Provinces belong to this hemisphere, are our neighbors, and have eucceasively, aVeacH portion "of the country acquired Us Independence, pressed their recognition," by an appeal to facts not to be contested, and Which they thought gave them a just title to it. To motives of interest this government has invariably disclaimed all pretension, being resolved to take no part in the controversy, or other measure in regard to it, which should not merit the sanction of the civilized world. Toother claims a just sensibility has been always felt, and frankly acknowledged, but they, in them-: s' lve3,-coald never become an adequate cause of action It was incumbent on this government' to look toevery important fact and circumstance, on which u sound opinion could be formed; which has been done. When we regard, then; the great length of time. which this war has been prcaecuted; . the complete euccess which haa attc -ded it, in favor of the Provinces; the present condition of the parties, and the utter inability of Spain ip produce any change in it, we are compelled to conclude that its fate is Gctlkd, and that the Provinces which have dcclarrd their Independence, and are in the enjoyment of it, ought to be recogniasd. Of the view of the Spanish Government on this subject, no particular information has been recently receiv- ' ed. It may be presumed, that the successful progress of the revolution, through such a long series of years, gaining strength and extending annually in every direction, arid embracing, by the late Important events, with litte exception, all the dominions of Spa'n, south of ths United States, on this Continent; placing, thereby, the complete sovereignty over the whole in the hands of tne people, will reconcile the Parent country to an accommodation with them, on the basis of their unqualified independence Nor his any authentic Information been recently rr.Ceivfd of the disposition of

other powers respecting it. A sin cere destrfc has been cherished to act in concert with them inthe proposed recognition, of which several were some time past duly apprized, but it was understood that thty were not prepared for it. The immense space between those powers, even those which border on the Atlantic; and these Provinces, makes the movement an affair of less interest and excitement to them than to js. It is probable, therefore, that they have been less attentive to its progress than we have been' It may he presumed, however, that the late events will dispel all doutt of the result. lr proposing this measure, it is not contemplated to change thereby, in the slightest manner, our friendly relations with cither of the parties, but to observe, in all respects, as heretofore, should the war be continued, the most perfect neutrality between them. Of this friendly disposition an assurance will be given to the government of Spain, to wham, it is presumed, it will be, as it ought to be, satisfactory. The measure is proposed, under a thorough conviction that it is in strict accord with the law of nations; that it Is jun and right, as to the parties, and that tha United States owe it to their station and character in the world, as well as to their essential interests, to adopt.it.. Should Congress concur in the flew herein presented, they will doubtless see the propriety of making the necessary appropriations forctrryinc it into effect. JAMES MONROE. "Washington, March 8, U22.
