Whereas the revolution of another year has again brought the time when it is usual to look back upon the past, and publicly thank the Almighty for Eis mercies and bis blessings; and Whereas, ifany one people has more occasion than another for such thankfulness it is the citizens of the United States, whose government is their creature, subject to their behests, who have reserved to themselves amplo civil and religious freedom and equality before the law, who during the last twelve months have enjoyed exomption from any grievous or general calamity, and to whom prosperity in agriculture, manufac- tures and commerce has been vouchsafed ; Therefore, by these considerations I recommend that on Thursday, the 28th day of November next, the people meet in their respective places of wor- ship and there make their acknowledgments to God for his kindness and bounty, In witness whereof I hereunto set my hand and cause the seal of the United States to be afixed.

To-day Don Carlos Martin was introduced to the President by the Secretary of State and delivered his credentials as Envoy Extraordinary and Minis- ter Plenipotentiary of the United States of Colom- bia, He made remarks on the occasion, of which the following is a translation :— Mr. PRESIDENT—I have the honor to place in your bands my credentials as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United Staies of Colombia in the United States of America, Now that the federal States which Sone the Colombian Unton see the thousand natural sources of their prosperity opened by the aid of a domestic peace, which hag lasted for several years, preserved by an adherence to théir own well un- derstood interests and by the loyalty of their rulers, to the happy police system which has been adopted by them, it is the chief care of my govern- ment, more than at any previous period of its his- tory, to cultivate commerce with all the nations of the world, in the strict practice of international law, and by means of just, liberal and benevolent measures. But among ‘all nations the people of Colombia cannot fail to turn their eyes first to the great and glorious republic which, set up by Providence as a beacon light to the nations of the world, has attained its greatness and glory by the practice of the rarest republican vir- ues; because glory—true glory—as well for na- tions as for men, is but the practice of great vir- tues, Moreover, our situation on the same conti- nent—the republican Continent of America—the possessions which we both hold lying opposite to each other, as it were, with a vast extent of coast upon the {wo great oceans; the similarity of our religion, of our institutions, and, Cota ened of our political interests; are, a8 you yourself remark- ed, On an important occasion, to Py predecessor in the office which Inow come to fill, Identical. ‘ihe considesasion of the antecedents, the realities due and the prospects of the future, are circumstances which specially impel the people and the govern- ment of Colombia to strive to preserve the good will of the people and government of the United States of America, For this we rely upon the sen- timents of equity and the peel) of justice which can never fail to animate the American govern- ment. We observe with satisfaction and enthusi- asm the prodigious increase of the power of your country, because we consider that your strength is our strength, and we can fear nothing from a peo- ple the of whose organization is re- Spect for the rights of others, and whose stupendous advgicement is mainly due to this maxim of social and _ political ethics. We aspire to see one of the two nations admirably endowed by nature side by side with the other, and, encouraged by her example and firm friendship, attain, by the same road as she has done, greatness and happiness, as she has already attained glory. These views have guided my con- duct when I have shared in the public power of my own country, and of this the American Umon has — evidtuce, My political educa- tion having been formed by the study of the writings and deeds of the founders of the fortunate Republic, its government and {ts prominent men inspite me as they do the republt- can head of the government which sends me, with the most profound respect. I consider my appoint- ment to this mission as the highest honor that could have been conferred upon me, and I shall spare no effort to gain from you and your estimable co-laborers the esteem due to one who faithiully serves his beloved county, and who seeks to com- prehend and develop thoroughly the interests which he represents in their relations to those of the great people among whom he comes to repre- sey them. The President replied as follows:— Mr. Martin—I receive mon with pleasure as the representative here of the United States of Co!om- bia. Your country is to be congratulated upon the internal tranquility to which you refer, That is obviously indispensible to progperity at home and to the discharge of those obligations abroad which every member of the tamily of nations has occasion in the course of its career to contract. It is grati- fying to learn that the rulers of Colombia take a just and enlightened view of her condition and her duty. Accept my thanks for the flattering manner in which you ye of my country as the exemplar of yours, It is to be hoped that by our course in the !uture we shall not forfeit any claim which we have to such a distinction, Colombia being the custodian of the gateway between the two great oceans which wash her shdres as well as ours, We naturally have an uncommon interest in cultivating her good opinion. This, I trust, will at all times be our endeavor, and in aiming at that object you do mere justice to the sentiments which actuate our people towards yours in supposing that we shall not knowingly deviate from those prin- ciples of equity and magnanimity to which all civilized nations are expected to bow in submis- sion. I am not unacquainted with your antece- dents, and feel erty gratified that your gov- ernment should have thought proper to entrust its mission here to one who has served it so efliciently in high posts at home. A Large Indian Delegation at the White House—Neception and Speech by the President. The Indian delegation of Kiowas, Comanches, Apaches, Caddoes, Arrapahoes, Witchitas, Wacoes, Kecshies, Towaccares and Delawares were escorted to the Executive Mansion to-day by Captain Al- vord, Special Indian Commissioner. They num- bered thirty-six persons, and were accompanied by ten squaws. All were dressed in fanciful costumes, with a profusion of paint and feathers, and going into the East Room, were ranged in a semicircle, The President soon after entered, when they filed before him, and each having his or her name men- tioned, shook hands with the President, Among them were Dog Eater, Ten Bears, Big Mouth, Heap of Bears and George Washington. The spectators were Secretaries Fish, Delano, Belknap and Bout- well and the new Colombian Minister, together with a number of other gentlemen and ladies, The President, through an interpreter, informed | the Indians that the effort of the government was to advance them in civilization and preserve their hives, by encouraging them to industrial pursuits and making them comfortable homes. The white people are now 80 numerous and increasing so Tapidly as to crowd the Indians, and therefore it was necessary the Indians should no more lead a roving life, but have fixed places of abode. The sooner they understood and valued this fact the better for themselves and thelr children, The President remarked that he had nothing more to say, excopt through the Secretary of the Interior. The Indians listened attentively, but no invita- tion was given them to respond. The President and Secretaries then retired to attend the Cabinet meeting, at which all were present except Secre- tary Robeson and Attorney General Williams, and the Indians, after examining the premises, leit for their quarters.

THE JERSEY CITY BANK ROBBERY. MeWilliams’ Recognizances Forfcited= The Chief Afterwards Surrenders Him- self. Chief of Police McWilliams, not having presented himself to the Court of Oyer and Terminer yester- day afternoon, District Attorney Garretson moved that the recognizances be forteited. The Crier of the Court then called Police Commissioner Edmond- sonand Thomas C. Brown, the sureties, to bring forward Edward L. McWilliams, and, no response having been made the bail was declared by the Court to be forfeited. At eight o’clock in the evening McWilliams sur- rendered himself to the keeper of the Connty Jail, and as the Court had adjourned till Mon- day he will have to remain in prison til that day. The trial is set down for Monday morning. The Chief might have saved his bondsmen by making his appearance a few hours earlier. In regard to his companionship with De- tective Kileaaley, the latter states that on the night of the escape he was totally ignorant of the arrest, when le met McWilliams, who asked him to go and tell the Acting Chief (Inspector Dickson) that he (McWilliams) would be down in the morn- ing. It was fully half an hour afterwards before Kilcauley learned that the Chief nad been arrested, It is the general impression that McWilliams’ bvondsmen were informed as to his whereabouts, and that they expected to be relieved from their responsibility on teclinical grounds.
