Dated Pittsburgh 19th day of April 1790. ' : • JAMES MORRISON . : Sherilr. . . , Janies GUTH:RIZ, of Greensburg, Sheriff Of NV estinoreland county, attaches • note to a similar proclamation, dated March lAti, y 790. , , - There are other items of interest which. 6 " may agai-Tt take occasion to refer to, Init ,our 'space le liMited,and we, must disintSs the curious old paper from which the abOte extracts were clipped ' • • PtiOCBF.SS !tEl!OttrED. •• ••• • The approximate agreement, as first read! between Lord SWcLZY and:our.Minister to England, 'for thcl, Austrnent of pending controversies, was -returned by `Secretary Ebrwann, with ittatriketions to insist upon its in,strveral, particulars, t 6 all of which the British: t overdment low assents'. distinctions sienow tO be made betWein the Alabama cltiims and others, in the form of their anbmisskor or in-the mode ofci sion by the Ckantedssiotatiiereitpon. The Commission is to sit. at Washington, and . England consents thai the "umpire to be se lected shall be subject the approVid of American Senate. Our Secreptry,, having carried all these points, now asks that the treaty shall be called a "protocol" instead of a "convention;" , that it shall be signed here, instead of at London, _eo as to be im naediately transmitted •to the Senate, "to gether with.the Naturalization and San Juan boundary treaties now ready to be aent in;" and also a change in.the mode of choosing an tunpire, 80 QUA, in the event of, a =tin ned. disagreement by the COMIXIII3BiOII and* the respective governments for tie period pf six mouthe, the choice shall then be nuadeby , lot. All these desired innertdreents tarot re . Wirded s comp arat i vely unimportant, and the assent of England thereto is not doubted. l Without any reference to tke reasons of expediency which may have led the Eng lish government to acquleitol thus heartily, in the 'needful preliminaries for the adjust ment of its controversies with. the Great and Once More ;United Republic, let' us recog nize in the ' agreement, which has , thus come to be an accomplished fact, a matter for the heartiest, rejoicing. Nor can it be denied that England has, upon her own side, taken up and gone through this criti cal negotiation in the most sincere good faith, and with the strongest desire to meet and satisfy all her just international obli gations. There is no good reason for doubting that the Senate will readily accept and ratify the Convention when presented \to it, with or without such amendments as will not sub stantially chanza its charact. The signature of the Con ention, and Of the accompanYing treaties relative to natu ralization and the Northwestern:boundary, will, in effect, put a final close to all out standing questions of disagreement between the two great nations. The New Year therefore finds England and America more, cordially united, in the ties of a more per fect friendship, and with a less possibility for any interruption of the international re pose, than at any previous period in the history of the Republic. THE CRESCENT AND THE CROSS. The cable brings a report that the Cretan insurrection is ended, by the entire submis sion of the population to the Tuikish au thority, which gratifies the Greek feeling by conceding to them a local but subordinate government:-`lf this 'report - rbe cotrect, It gives us effectively the end of the Greco- Turkish imbroglie. That qearrel,has grown aliogether out of the -Bair and undisguised sympathy of the Greek government and people with the Sultan's' Cretan subjects who 'Were Greek in nationality and religion, and whose revolt has' been sustained, if not first instigated, by the national , sentimeat,,t Withthe insurrection thus suppressed, van ishes bodily the cause oflnternational diffi z culiY, and, so far, equally :disappears any Occasion for the proposed Conference of the Great Powers. - - • But beneath these temporary irritations, is seen a more important question.
