It is probable that Mr. Forsyth our ne
appointed Minister go Spaing will be
bearer of this treaty, and that the ratif

mencement of the next session of Congress:

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-

adjustment of the claims of onr citizens on

epoch: in the history of our foreign relations.
