The satisfaction expressed at the conrldet.,;', and termints'fion of the war in - the Mediterranean is. just andfrapar ; but whether some of the stipular tions in the agieement made, are cortsistent with the rights of eitliVerowers,'is , ,' in our opinion, - eitretitely - With - Siiieire goon -w on all 'side's, these arrengenteots ma f iti"nded tan error, he very easily modified so as to be cow . - patible with the common interests of nations. The Convention of Commerce with thii Coun try not having been officially promulgated,' is yet unripe far remark, thuagir much pains has been - taken to pervert the public opinion by prejtolging-, tke iittestion on garbled evidence. We observe that the President, from the friendly disposition • Of the BritA Government, anticipates " liberal tarrsingenients," - so as to ensure the continuance of.. tranquillity,, and as he immediately speaks of mployiug only American Seamen in American ',`hips as a prelude to this, it is to be .gatiter ttl that the question of our right of Search is cootempinted by this iailetolo. Our maritime ri lies are sacred. But the time. of Pelee. is eel-- taioly that period at which they can be most Call. veniently discussed. What privileges our- Naval Sovereignty demands for its support can never be relinquished; but at the 841ln:time, it becomes•our ; national Character for justice anti moderation,- toi l ' persist in no course which affects the independence: of others, or is, calcidatetl to irritate feelings in! 'them for which in ourselves we demand' respect.s-ss. Yet the question, 'after all, resolves itself iuto, the facility. of transatlantic staturalization, ; which ' robs other States of the allegiance of their citizens, and transforms the subjects of other - Monarchs into enemies, protected by, eke 9ilE of the United States. We shall snot. now ,eoter, upon this 'wide field for dlieusiion,' but content ourselves with s,s,pressing our sattiti,s lactio'n at seeing that the -American Government, has so distinctly set its' face against the seduction of British 'SailorS, it is tree that the .object is, to, encourage its own Seatnen now when Peace : . has •been crincladed,rind the Foteigners may. be turned *drift Without injury --but the lesson is a good ime, and tee trust it not be lost on those., rlegene-, rate Britons who have been employed ,so long, as they were w Anted to : fight against their Comm.. try, and are no , :, discharged without a provision, when it is- only ;:ecessary to navigate American stessels in lucrative connwrcial pursuits. • With regard to the Intli><n Tribes, it is stated, that those on the_ Western and North-western frontiers -have almost all entered into the bonds a .peace; but tie Southern nations, not liking /heir " chastisement io,o submission," itre again restless and hostile. Pour Whim ! ymt are too steer toweiful neighbours, not over scrupulous about the means fur exteniling their territtiries. . „ The exposition of .the internal situation of Ame-. rice, betrays a lamentable state of finance. The Goverument cannot even pay the arrears of the army, so as to be able to reduce it to the Peace • Establishmentl The whole receipts:to the Trea sury ft;r the first nine mouths of 1815, amounted, even aecording to Estimale, 'to only l 2 i millions of dollars ; while • the issue of Treasury notes amounted to 14 'millions, or millions inure plait the estimated receipts. But this is not srliere was:kloan of nine millions,. and a balance iii hand of otte million and a half, which have all .1 been expended; and independent of the arrears due to the army, Ste. and five millions for interest of ‘, stational debt, etc-. the current expenditure, with such a rev-trine, mounted to thirty-six millions and a half of dollars; e. thrice the Sum of the re ceipt. The National Debt is 120,000,000 itollars.

He also advises that the frontiers shall be strengthened, the Navy be kept up or augmented, and a National:Sena ,nary for learning be established. ‘Vitli these ob jects encouraged, he looks 'for rapid improvement 3n this Invrt96l4 population of the country. American Papers with the Budget have arrived to-day, but as we have given the Outline of the Finance of that Country from the Speech, and as the mode of raising the Siipplibs is more of in- ' ternal tegulation than external consequence, we shall not delay our publication w insert tho.e 4:4lAtions.

Firit Part of King Henry the Fourth, with tile . parts strougty cast Was presented to an overflowing audience last night at this Theatre. The stage certainly does not afford a s performer so ,well calculated to look Prince lint us Mr. CHARLits KiemaLE, and his de . - . lineation of, the character was equal to his natural requisites for supporting it' most effec - wally. The Prince and Gentleman appeared in -every scene, even in-those of dissolute unbending, and the emisciousouss of the hero.whenever it became necessary, exalted him into feeling and dig:: nity. kareat stage favourite, -this is still a part of much difficulty, from the variety of manner reqiii ; site for the variety of situation, in which, whether surrendered ,to the pursuit of midoight robbery, or victorious in the field of battle— , whether the boon companion of the Fcit Knight and his low associ ates, or repentant and full of high resolves before an offended Fattier nod-King, the representative of Henry must never forget his birth arid'station. When sunk most deeply in the indulgence of vice, he must strew that it is the Prince relaking, and when distinguishing himself most proudly in arms, he must prove that it is.t he Libertine reformed.— loto these considerations" it appeared to us that Mr. C. KEMBLE folly entered, and that hi s delineation of the character was through out entitled to the highest approbation. Of the same class was the Hot,par of Mr. YOUNG : impetuous., and fiery. Every scene in which he took part was adinirable, anti all the passions which agitate him, doubt, hope, asstir, ance, joy, exultation, were finely mid forcibly pour trayed. We have scarcely eter Witnessed a better performance. Sir John was in the hands of Mr. F.,WCRI , Ti- and his girdle was respectably .filled.— Falactif is n being, of whom every reader of SHAL sagaltit forms sonic: abstract idea;--he is so vi vidly drawn by-the immortal Bard, that we picture hint forth and place him before us. Perhaps no. three persons could exactly agree on the_eomposi tion of this piece of imagination —one would gyc it more hilarity, another ;note diguity, a third more ompialified debauchery. It is foto this great di versity of opinion iu the public that the persona tion, of Falstaff is . so little likely to afrord entire satisfaction. In many parts we thought Mr. FAW CUTT excellent, in others lie fell , far short of our conception of the character. The. , minor. parts were ably sustained.
