This highly important measure is announced in the National Ineelligencer of the 21d instant, and cannot fail to meet with the most cordial satisfaction of the community. In our opinion, very few toasts have oc curred in our political history which are more deeply interesting to the limited States.—Our sestbern bor.. der is now fairly rounded off: we have no foreign territory enclosed within our boundaries, and of coarse we shall probably have very little ocession froreefter to engage in any serious wrasigliugs with EaropeamPowers. Whether it war a swage of weakness, or the condition of her more important South America° provinces, that may hove reduced Spain at length to come into this season*, is of little importunate. The venial give, as the Florida., and the consideration of the cession will prsbably realise to our merchaato come remuneration for their losses by Spanish saves . Mons and deprvdatinos. If now a system of just, mild, and friendly amoseres towards she Indies tribes, which by this trawler of territory will fell wader our jurisdiction, shall be adopted and faithful ly pursued by oar Government, we cannot but hope that the scenes of rotary and blood that have so often .bees displayed in that region will be closed, and the miserable remnants of these tribes be rendered as se cure and es comfortable as the nature of things will permit.

Nearly the whole population of this village, and of the aeighhnering Cnottatunos, were at work at the dykes on the banks of the Rhin., and before any help arrived, 113 bosses were consulted by the IMPS, mad 313 individuals, forming were reduced to the most 'flitting misery by the leis of their lino stock, furniture, and provisions.

FLURENLE, M•ece 8. • Preparations have been making bete for the last three weeks for the reception of the Emperor of Austria. His Majesty arrived here yesterday (See. day), and is gone to spend a fortnight with Ferdinand before he proceeds to Rome to speed thelloty Week. His Majesty'. arrival took place about five o'clock in the afterunoti. The grensdies were drawn op to receive him at the Porta St. Gallo, and en his pass under that magnificent gate, the band played, and the people shoaled Viva 1 viva! All Florence was out of doors—ell the bosses were locked; even the restaureteurs, sod the sultans and seresnts, all left their business to welcome the Emperor. I know this by personal experience, for I was locked oat of my lodgings, aud could got no dinner at the teatime teat's, an that amid all this splendour I fared rather uncomfortably. In the evening the whole town was illuminated. Fortunately it did not rain—l say fortunately, because, siege I have come here, it has rained so incessantly, that I thought I should soothe fair fare of an Italian sky over Florence. The Midge of St. *Nolte, OW bowlful and enigma pimp of architecterr, formed • greed object on the river Aron. Si: artificial coleuses were placed upon the bridge, and ornamented with lamps. The Pa.

'the latest among them ere dated Mon day, and consequently they cannot inform us of any thing new missing in either Chamber. The most important business which presents itself to the English Statesman at this critical pet iod is, that which has takes place between the Court of SPAIN and AMERICA. It is one step towards that object of aggrandiserneot which every politician bat the more l driveller must hese long men Ike growing power of Amelia aiming at. end, what is more, she will obtain it. Americo, with but few of the vices inherent in sit Getretnments; young, and with a good Constite. ike, is tossing a race with all the old decrepid ones' of Lampe, end chiefly her competition lies with us. To suppose that we can long be a match for her, as we now proceed. Is to suppose impossi bilities. Infected with State corruption, bent down by the weight of our National Debt, can we wonder that she should regard us with the little consideration she does? u r a Treaty with Old Spain she hes ob tained the two Florida. !! Herels as acqeisitiots 'forth boasting of. Here is a rounding of territory indeed! Ah, and coossolidatiost of peeet too.— This possession has been obtained also by a moat adroit Feisty. Invaluable se are these two pro visoes, they have been purchased by a debt, a bad debt, is It might and mast have been called, in the dell of Old Spain's prosperity. The Ma ells Room was to es a much more proMisiog article, than the debts set op by a set of enriches Amelia:an Mercbeits, who hue estimated many of their vessels at 11e thousand pounds, which were scarcely worth as bee? hundreds; so that they send twee of the precious metals out of America, bet in 'achinge for a partly real, pertly artificial debt, they reinforce their territorial power with that which Is above sit price. The question sow will be, how long shall we retain the West India Islands under ear deininion! Will the reflecting part of the United Kingdom be contented to let things go on in this strain? If lee bed exercised the wholesome power of Keenan In our establishments mune time ago, and had thereby invigorated the arm of our Go. worriment, this transfer bad not taken place. Spelo would have made part with us in the very demand; if America dent indeed, to have made that demand ; but the one Power pities our weakness, and the other contemns it. A whisper of this tress action, as we are informed, ran through certain of fices in London, len or more days ago, and it mow supposed to have contributed as much as the forbid ding aspect of the Rank concerns, to let down the Stocks so soddenly. Our Diplomatists could not have been unapprised of this proceeding: since a spe cial clause in the Treaty sets forth, that all the greets of land made by the King of SPAIN, previous to the Ist of January, 1818, are to be confirmed : they in fact might know, that some portions of those tracts of land were selling as long ago as last August sod Sep tember : a few sprcolative men have made beefy parses by the above resell. We hate In more ways than one spoken of 11, German es a reflecting creature, and from him we expect much in the way of proof and example. We Imposed trust we are not misinformed in the follow. log particular. It is said that a proposition has been made in the aeration Chamber of Depaties to address the King, praying for the introduction of a law fur giving publicity to all Judicial Proceedings, and which is to be followed by another proposition for Wrested's' Trial by Jury. Thum, if the phlegmatic heavy German treads on our heels in his march to. words freedom, we must advance a little at less:. Mr. STURGRI BOURN' is to bring into the Rouse of Commons two very important Rills: ono to pre vent the waste or misuse of the Poor Rates, and the other to regulate the acquiring • settlement, end we will not hesitate to say that so far as prescribing to the effects of a disease goes, without taking into consi deration the pristine cense, so far does the llnnoar. able Gentleman divisive praise. A 'evidence of three years in a perish, without being chargeable, is a reasonable claim to support from it. The taking from those who apply for relief, the c,re of their children, Is desirable in a national point of view. II may be difficult to effect the object : we should, how ever, like to see it tried.
