[They uro all stran gers to tho steamboat.‘. Their sources arc so completely lost in unknown regions of the vast interior of Brazil, that we are far better .acquainted with tltp, geography of the moon than., we arc with that ol these rivers; and yet, seeing that and how that (government had neglected them all, Peru icould still be induced to listen to its shallow {propositions. ! NnV, there is the beautiful river of Sun [Francisco, which empties directly into the I spa, and the headwaters of which are just behind tho first ningc.of hills in the rear of the capital of the empire. Without having hud the energy to introduce the steamboat even upon the waters oi this riv er, the Chevalier Da Ponte is sent ofi up on this shallow mission about the head 1 waters of the Amazon, which bv fatuity i the diplomatists of Peru, it seems, could not fathom. This attempt of Brazil to negotiate with those five Amazonian republics can be considered in no other light than an at tempt to stop the progress of civilization ; for to close the Amazon to commerce and the steamboat is to shut out from that be nighted country which it drains, the lights ol’civilization, the blessings of Christianity, and nil the elements of hurnnn happiness ! But thetreniy ! The Brazilian minister, lam told, did not hesitate privately to ad vance the sentiment, when in Limn, that it was not the policy of Brazil to treat with nations mor<* powerful than hcrsell; that in the interpretation of treaties the strong er powerulwnys enforced itsowr^ construc tion, and the weaker as invariably went to the wall. At any rate, 1 shall show how fuithfully Brazil has acted up to this policy in the case or this treaty with Peru. By it each of the contracting parties pledged itself to give annually a sum not less than 820, 000 for the introduution of the steamboat upon the waters of the Amazon ; and what has been the result f Why, this : Brazil, as we have seen by the Louza contract, has taken this 820,000 or Peruvian men ev and rnven it toone of licrown subjects to estnblish u lino of steamers under her | own flag from the mouth of the Rio Negro to Nautu —that is, itis to run about 14,000 miles through Brazilian territory, and when it gets a few miles into Peru to stop short. But still Peru must pay the piper. When this line reaches the mouth of the Rio Negro itis to feed there with its freights another line under the Brazilian flag to Para. j Tims' Peru, to get about 230 miles ofj her thousands pf miles of navigable waters navigated by steam, is made to pay Bra zilian bottoms and subjects for navigating l[5QO milcsof Brazilian waters! 1 have ho pleasure in exposing this memorable' trickery of tho court of Brazil. But she lias arrayed ' herself against the improvements and progress of the age, and she has attempted’ by intrigue so to shape the coufso of events that she might lock up and scpl with the seal of ignor ance and superstition und savage barbari ty the finest portions of the earth. Science, commerce, and tho wants of mankind uro beginning to call loudly for admittance there; and up the Amazon they must and will go, lor when they call the world is right apt to heed, j The object of Brazil in negotiating this treaty with, Peru was, as wo have sceii by the Rio correspondent of the “Observer” already quoted, to exclude “this najion of pirates,” as we ore there styled, from tfiese water-courses. But the “high,.contracting parlies,” as it often, happens to llio wicked, fell them selves into the net which they had spread to» other feet; for they seem not’to have recollected the provisions of a treaty which Randolph Clay, our most skillful, and ac complished representative in Lima, had just negotiated with Bcru. Only, three months before the date of this fluvial treaty, that excellent diploma tist had negotiated in Lima a “trenty pf ffifcudship; commerce, and navigation with Betai.” ' ' By; the lOth article of that Meaty it is set'forth that — ■ ; “The 1 republic of Peru, desiring to’in crease'tile intercourse along its coasts by means of steam navigation, hereby enga ges lo'accord to any citizen Orcitizens of the United States, who may establish h lino'of steam vessels'to navigato regularly between tho different ports of entry within the Peruvian territories, tho sahie privil eges of taking in ahd landing freight,' en toiing-the by-ports for ; the purpose of re ceiving and landing passengers, and; thblr •buggage, specie, and bullion, carrying tho public mails, establishing depots for oodl, erecting the necessary madbine and work for lopairing and refitting tho steam j vessels,, and all other favors enjoyed by I any other ussociulion or company. whatso ever.

He look occasion to say that if the agreement between the twonavigators ofthe Clayton- Bulwer treaty to exclude British Honduras from the provisions of that treaty had been known to him, he ,would never have voted for the ratification of that treaty, and that ! ho had been assured by Mr. King that the statement in Mr. Clayton’s note, that he (Mr. K.) informed Mr. Clayton that this reservation was understood by the Senate, was altogethera mistake.
