From the American Watchman.
COMMISSIONERS' REPORT.

Mr. Rodney has laid before the President: a long and very interesting report on the subject of his late mission to the Rio de La Plata, accompanied by a very able note advocating the justice and expediency of acknowledging the independence of the United Provinces of La Plata. In adopting this manly course, Mr. Rodney has realized the expectations of his friends, and met the wishes of a large majority of the nation. He now stands before the country as an open, honorable, and consistent statesman, and a firm, undeviating advocate of the rights of man. Disdaining to "palter with us in a double sense," when great and important interests are at stake, he has advocated, with sincerity, a measure sanctioned by the dictates of his judgment and the feelings of his heart. In so doing, we repeat our belief, that he will be supported by the suffrages of the nation, whose generous feeling in favor of the patriot cause, will derive additional force from the sanction conferred upon it by the able report to which we have referred.
