But on examining the provisions of the above mentioned treatics, it has appeared to the President that their essential aricles are of 4 character not adapted to the cir euindtances or to the lustitutions of the United States. 4'lie powers agreed to be given to the ships of war of cither party—lo search. capture and cariy into port for adjudication the merchant vessels of the other—howev er qualified, are gonnected with the estab Jisimnent, by each treaty, of two Mixed Courts, one of which 1s to have “ts seat i the Colonial Possessions of the parties res peciively. The institution of such tribunals is necessarily regarded as fundamental to thie whole arrangement ; whilst their pecu- liar structure 18 doubtless intended, and would seem to be indispensible towards im parting to 1t a just reciprocity. But to this part'of the system the United ‘States, hay- ing no Colonies on the Coast of Afvica, iy the West Indies or elsewhere, cannotit is saigy give effct.

Eoragn ENGLAND. Extract of a private letter, Fe Xie Paris; July 9 -—=Those who are anxious to see great events, and who are already tired of peate need, only excercise a lit tie patience, dud they will be gratified. They ought in conscience to allow the world time to breathy were it only to afford them leisure to reflect upon what shall be the cause of the next war. It is very possible that the nations of Eu- opd will remain friends for a fow yours: al though the numerous armies which they keep on foot, seem to indicate that they do not entirely confide in each other ; but the excessive ambition of the United States and the progrzss of the msurgents of South America against the Spaniards will in a 2e and during the war sacrificed immense sums to that project; but in the first mo- ment of peace, nine out of ten, of their ma- aufactories, were ruined ; and that country where they pay scarcely any taxes, where here is ten times more land than can be cultivated, where they boast of the most aniimited liberty, 1s nevertheless re- duced to such a state ol distress that aothing like it is secn in the most miserable countries of Europe. This is a singular phenomenon, but the spirit of -ambiiba which animales the people, rendeds under these circumstances, doubly 4 for agg randissment ; and in short, WS dent that they will bring (hCinsel ves uo’ iifficulties with . Eoglaud, The delay which the cession of the Flovidas by Spain meets with, and the bill which bas just: assed in the parliament of Great Britain to jeter Epglishmen from giving aid to the! Spanish insurgents, ave proofs that Eng- land has interposed to prevent the ratifica- tion of the bargain. This will soon be ap- parent; and the United States will take possession, probably by force, of a country which Spain 15 not able io de- fend, and which England will not be able to retake, should it once be in the hands ot the Americans, } Spain has her frontier uncovered on the side of America 3 the latter will justify her aggressions with the sophisms she is accus- tomed to employ, whenever she wishes to strack any of the savage tribes. I'he mur- der of Arbuthnot and Ambrister was only a trial which the Americans wished to make of the patience and forbearance of England ; the experiment succeeded 1n a manacer that must flatter American vanity 3 but it kin. dles the indignation of every good Hagligh- man ; and renders him impatient ahve the Americans a lesson of humanity, mod- sty and moderation. England has at length put her treasury in some kind of order ; it is indeed a bad order ; but itis no longer disorder as has been asserted; she can therefore speak more boldly than she could six months ago, and her internal state is such as should in- duce her mote than ever to undertake a for- eign war. Not having found plenty en the return of peace, the people have shown them- selves dissatisfied, and for the first time, have conceived the idea that war is better than peace. We speak of the people ; not of those individuals who see further and who know that a new war will be desirnc. tive of the funding-system ; but the people who only see the immediate effect, that is to say, universal. employment desire a war. { Tt employs, say they, a great number of sol diers and sailors, and a number of men three times as great, to supply the wants consequent on war : so that there will be an abundance of work for the rest of the population. I know positively that such are the sentiments of the people, and the calculations which they make, and if we could abstract the final consequences, would not be far wrong, ‘The ministers have made a trial of their sirengti, and have found it such, that it will be easy for them, in case of necessity, to re-establish the ncome-tax. They are in an attitude that enables them to assume a very different language from that which they formerly held. ‘Six moths more will show what may be expected ; and it is to America that 1 intreat our politicians to direct their attention instead of losing their time iu conjectures concerning what the Euatopean powers will do ; the latter have no disposition to go to war ; and no reason- able motive for so doing. hae] Price of a Bible in 1274 —In the year 1274, the price of a small Bible, neatly written was 307 of our money, A good Jible may now be had for ‘two or three shillings.
