far Mr. Hale, and then they were de
livered at the shops of the traders for
for whom they were really intended.
Tfie fact is plowed b'y the statement
of the Collector of Ca.gtome of• Madrid,
and by Mr. Hale's own letters to the
merchants whose accounts against him
he had - settled - by dine 'smuggling
goods - for them. A similar notification
has, if is -reported, been emit to Mr.
Perry, Se,cretary of Legation, for what
reason iisvnot'transpired, further than
that the- persOmil relations between the
Minister and Secretary lire of a natuie,
to impair ate influence of the mission,
and it has been deemed the wiser course
for Government to invite the resigna
tion of both. The Secretary, we be
lieve, has ,openly denounced the Min
ister to the State Department, as ft
smuggler. Under the circumstances,
sh,mfd think, the sooner a change
take place the better.
\ILL ItEvaßov JOHNSON has the cu

Executive session rejecting his treaty
was emphatic enough, we trust, to en•
able our friends in- Great Britain to
comprehend at last the truth which we
have for months sought to enforce upon
them. We respectfully commend to
their attention the figures. Fifty-lour
Senators voted against the treaty ;
precisely one voted for it. The in
junction of 'Secrecy having been re

-such compliments paid it in the debate,
by Senators rarely complimentary to
anything Mr. Stunner does, will cause
it to be. regarded as in some, sort an
authoritative expression of the Ameri

NORTHERN LIGHTS. —lt is just about•

were .covered by a bow of
‘ light, from
which shot up ray or points, visible for a
short time and then fading away, only to
have their places filled by new and simi
lar formations. The light was mostly of
ginenish-yenow hue, though some of it
assumed a crimson mist, and at timulLity
large portion of the heavens was sulftiseti
crimson.--ti
the zenith, a nucleus formed, from which
long rays or. points.s.ilot forth in all direc
tions. This forniation was of u crimson
this and was a.scene of rare and awful
beauty. Another magnificent part of the
display. was the waves of greenish light
that rolled over the heavens like the wind.
passing over a field of yielding grain.
The display continued, with greater and
less brilliancy, for several hours. There
was also a slight dnplity of lights the Hilt
evening, but it was trifling in comparison
