against (lie dominions of Spain ? -:ior have any naval equipments been per mitted, in favor of either party, a gainst the other. Their citizens Lave been warned of the obligations incident to the neutral condition oi their country-r-the public o facers have heen instructed to see that the laws were fully executed ? and se vere examples have heeti made of sonic who violated them. In regard to the stipulation propo sed, as the condition of the ratifica tion of the treaty, that the U. State? shall abandon tire right to recognize the Revolutionary colonies in 8outh America, or to form other relations vith them, when in their judgement it may be just and expedient so to do, it is manifestly so repugnant to t'ie hv>nor. and even to the indepen dence, of the United States, t??at \\ h:;s been impassible to discuss it. In rtnktug this proposal, it is perceived that "lis Catholic Majesty has en tirely misconceived the principles on w hich this government have acted, in being a party to a negociaiton so long protracted, for claims so w e'll found Via and reasonable, as ha likewise baa (he sacrifice which the United Htates have made, comparatively, with Spain, in the treaty which it is proposed to annex so extraordinary and improper a condition. < Had the Minister of Spain offer ed an unqualified pledge that the trea ty should be ratified by his sovereigti, } on being made acquainted with tin1 explanation which had been given by this sovernmennt, I here would have, been a strong motive for accept ing and submitting it to the Senate for their advice and constat, rather thftn resort to other measures for re dress, however justifiable and pro per. But he gives no such pledge. On the. contrary, he declares expli citly that the Veftisal of this govern ment to relinquish the right of judg ing and acting for itself hereafter, ac cording to circumstances in regard to the Spanish colonies- ? a right com mon to all nations ? has rendered it impossible for him, under his instruc tions, to make . such engagement. Hfe thinks that his 'sovereign will be induced, by his communications, to iratify the treaty ^ hut a till lie leaves bir.l free eft her to adopt that riieasure or decline it. He admits that the other objections are essentially hi $ioved, and will not, in thfemselres, prevent tlie ratification, provided the difficulty on the third point . td sur mounted. ~ The , tesul t, 4 therefore, is thrtt thi treity is declared to have no obligation whatever | that its ** tification is mode, to <l6peiid^ hot on the considerations Which led to its adoption, attd tli6 conditions which M contains, hut drt a new article un connected with it, respecting Which a new negotiation must he opened, of indefinite duration* and doubtful is sue. * ? I Un<ler this view of the ku1*jecfr> the course to|e pursued would appear to be direct and obyioud, if this affairs of Spain had remained in the fttafa in which they were whin this MiuUter sailed. But it is known, that an Im portant change has since taken place in the government of that cnuhlry, which cannot fail to he sensibly felt in its intercourse with other nations. The M inister of Spain has essenti ally declared his inability tfi act in consequence of that change* With hirti, liowfcver, under )m ptesetri powers, nothing amid be done. The attitude of the United States nnlst now bti assume 1, tin ftitlN con sideration of what ii ilrte to their rights, their interest and honor, with out regard to the noweta pr incidents of tli<3 late itiiMion. \Ve may at pleasure occupy the territory, which was intended and provided by the late treaty as an indemnity for losses so long since Sustained by 6hr citi zens, but still nothing could be set* tied definitively, without a treaty be tween the two nation*, is this the' time to make the pressure ? If the U. States were governed by tiewt of amtttion and aggrandizement, mu ll j strong reashns mixht be given ii its favor. But they have no object ?>f thai kind to ncctitoplish ? non? which are not founded Injustice, nn<! which can he injured Ly foibearance. Gi eat liope id entertained that this change w ill promote the happiness of the (Spanish nation. The good' order, moderation, and humanity, which have characterized the move ment, are the best guarantees of its success. The Uuited States would not be justified in their own estima tion, should they take auy step to disturb its harmony. . When the Spanish government is completely organized on the principles ofc this change, as it is expected it soon will be, here is just ground to presume that our differences with Spain will be speedily and satisfactorily settled. With these remarks, 1 submit it to the wisdom of Congress, whether it will not still J4e_a.dvistible to post pone any decison onlhis subject un til the next session. JAMES MONROE.
