BE It is probable that Mr. Forsyth our ne appointed Minister go Spaing will be bearer of this treaty, and that the ratif tion will'be exchanged long before the com- mencement of the next session of Congress: in: contemplation of which event; itis pro- bable that Congress will before they ad- journ, pass an act authorising the Execn five to receive the surrender of the Provin ces of Florida from the Spanish authorities, and to estaclish au independent government therein. 4 We felicitate the country on this amica- ble aud satisfactory termination of the tedi- ous, and hitherto unpleasant negociations with Spain. Tue attainment of either of the three objects, the cession of the Flori das, tue setticment of the Western bounda- ry, or the recognition and provision for the adjustment of the claims of onr citizens on Spain, would have been considered as an epoch: in the history of our foreign relations. ¥ 1 ¥ trebly acceptable to the American peo- ple.
