As there is no Court of Chancery be tween nations, these differences' 'can be s e t t led only by agreement or by foTc. (Signed) 'JOHN QUINCY ADAMS. DEPARTMENT OF STATE, DECEMBER. 21. Trifle Committee of Foreign Relations. Sriclpt answer to the question contained in lour letter of the 10th, • T liave the honour to state, for the information of the Conitnii fee, IL That information has been received by the Go vernment of the United States, though not thro ug h a direct channel, that another motive besides those alleged in the letter of the Duke of 3 " FERNANDO to Mr. FORSYTH, did operate lIPOn the Spanish Cabinet, to induce the with holding . the ratification of the Treaty, namely, the apprehension that the ratification would be Immediately followed by the recognition by the 'United States of the South American Provinces. 2. By all information which has been obtained of the prospective views of the French and Rm. Sian GoiernMents, in relation to the Course which vvs t s,by them thought probable would he pursued b 1 the United States, it is apparent they strongly apprehended the imtne.diate forcible occupation of the Floridas by the United States, on the non -ratification by Spain, of the Treaty within the stipulated titne."Trance and Russia have . loth- most earnestly :dissuaded us from that Course, not by arty regular communication, bu t by friendly advice, on account of its tending to promote a general War, which they fear 'Would be the consequence of a War bet weer t he United States and Spain. ,That by exercising Patience a little longer, by waiting at least to hear the rdinister who was announced as coming to give and receive explanations, we could not fail of obtaining ultimately, without resort to force, the • tights to which it was admitted we were entitled. hilt measures of violence might not only provoke SPlin to War, but would change the state of the q"estion between us, Would exhibit us to the • World as aggressors. It is not expected, that in • the event of a %Var. with Spain any European rower will op en ly ta k e a p art i n i t a gainst the • U nited States; but there is no doubt that thc Principal reliance tzf Spain will be upon the era ployment of Privateers in France and England, as /11111 at iu the East and West Indies, , and upon our own Coast, under the Spanish Flag, but inanned from all Nations. 3. The inclosed copies of Letters contain infor mation will 'regard to the subjects mentioned. In the month of September a corps of 3000 men arrived at the Havanna'', from Spain, one-third of whom are said to have already fallen victims to the disease; but we are assured that no part of this force is intended to be employed in Florida. At the time when Captain Rein left MaArid, Mr. FORSYTH bud no positive information even of the appointment of the person who is to come out as the Minister. Indirectly we have been asttuted, that be might be expected to arrive here in the course of the present month. (Signed) JOHN QUINCY ADAMS. The observations respecting THE QUEEN tvhich appear in The Morning Post of this day, and which we have inserted among our daily Extracts from the LONDON JOURNALS, are marked by gooti sense, liberal feeling, and a proper sense of na tional decorum. The view also which that Paper takes of the case altogether, seems to be the re sult of information from authority. It confirms what we yesterday said on this delicate subject, but speaks with more confidence as to the plan which it is unders,ood is propo4ed to be ailowed. Most hear ily do we tvish that matters c-uld • be privately settled. and that nothing should be suffer ed to transpire that could rend to excite the zeal and animosity of co. tending parties. That there are great and vehement differences of opinion among the people on this 'subject cannot be doubted The Radical DiilY Prints (for there is now but one legitimate Opposition one, The British Press) will not suffer any consideration to restrain them, while th ,, subj ct can be employed in hostility ,to Government. On the other hatid, after all the di►+gusting rumour, of transactions on the Conti nent, aster the obtrusion of the subject in the House of Commons by Mr; Htiml%, and atter 'the bold and manly declarations of Mr. Ttea 7 NEY in. that House, will is' moral People, la. bouring under heavy but unavoidable pressures, feel satisfied in having those pressures in hilt re spect increased, without a full conviction of a just necessity ?—Never will' the hulk of the People be wanting in generous loyalty, and an ardent zeal for the vindication of innocence, but they will a l so b e an x ious for' a full development of truth and a due regard to justice: We therefore, always reluctantly-touching upon the subject, cannot 9 , it think that tna'ters have proceeded too far, are too much involved in. Party views, and have ex cited the natural curiosity of mankind too strongly, to admit of private arrangement; - particularly if attended with any ategMentati,on of the public burthens—burthens,- however,- to which a gene,. rous and gallant People will . always cheerfully su bmit, while they are obviously founded upon moral grounds, and the irresistible. plea of na tional 'necessity.

TO THE EDITOR OF, CARRICK'S MORNING P(ST.

Yet, in granting a good public place on your Post You've been deemed so good-natured and wise, I'm in hopes that. I soon shall have reason to boast Of success in th' enclos'd enterprise. And so, have the huaour to be, Sir, your roost Obedient, A CLERK OF EXCISE. Custom House, Dublin, March 21, 1820. MEMORIAL. To our Most Gracious Sovervin Lord, King George the Fourth, of Britain; And to his Cabinet, in Board Of Privy council sitting : The..Memmial of Hundred of Custom-house Clerks, And Flciseinen, in every star iou ; Of lazy men, crazy men, old men and sparks, And all other Scribes to the Nation. Shewel h, That, firs!, with a loyal devotion, We your Majesty congratulate, On ascending, the Throne of these Lands of the Ocean, And may God grant your Reign a long date ! That, amongst other acts for the good, of the Nation, Pass'd by those representing the Land, Certiiii days were appointed for our recreation, When business might be, at a stand. That those days were but few, about seven in number, And Merchants were kindly contented ; Fur almost ev'ry one of them well can remember • When five times that number tormented. That our late most regretted and excellent Queen, At her death, one of these took away ; Theretore six were in last year's Sheet Almanack seen, So we lust our good Nineteenth of May. That the dullness which marks your Memorialists' lives Mates fs H.iday always attractive — Souse young Wades have Sweet Hearts, and some have their Wires, And Some want a day to be active. That-the hours of attendance being lately increased, A Holiday's more amd more dear to us ; And we wish that your Majesty saw what a feast One of those prec►ous days seem when near to us. That one of these six golden days had been given, For your Majesty's birth-day ; but, since Our late revered Monarch was wafted to Heaven, We have lust the birth-day of the Prince. That thus were we robh'd of our good fourth of June, For, though August the twelfth supersedes it, No new anniversary grants us a boon Fur no heir apparent succeeds it. That we, to your Majesty loyal and true As any good subjects in Britain, These facts and i►npressior[s, - thus offer to you, 'And the Lords with your Majesty sitting. That. lately, Memorialists-beard it set forth, .'Twas your Majesty's determination • That next twelfth of August—the day of your birth, Shill witness your grand CORONATION. • That Memorialists heard it, and read it with pain, For the " King's Coronation" is one Of thefive golden days which - now:only remain Since our late revered Monarch is gone. That thus, should your Majesty please to unite Two.events, so distinguished. before, . Your Memorialists sink to a : vpry sad plight, For their Holidays dwindle to—four. We, therefore, your Majesty's gracious attention Implore, for ourselves and Commissioners, That you will he pleas'd to revoke said inteution Of rubbing your humble Petitioners. And that you will be graciously pleased to make known said change to this loyal good nation, That a bumper may pass for your Birth-clay alone, .And another for yuur Coronation. And we, to your Majesty, promise to greet , With testires, whatever the day That you, in your Majesty's wisdom, think meet, And, in duty hound, ever will pray. THE THEATRE. COVBNT• GARDEN. —The Tragedy of King Lear, which had been for many years properly suspend ed, on. account of the indisposition of our late revered Monarch, was last night revived at this Theatre, and Mr. Booth, who was first brought •forward as- the avowed rival and imitator of Mr. - Kaatq, assumed the arduous character of Lear. His performance was in general highly respecta ble, and though some of the Diurnal Critics con trive to discover strong signs of imitation, we did not perceive any. Mr. BOOTH seemed to play from his own conceptions and his own feelings. There were certainly no proofs of extraordinary excellence in his acting—it was what may be styled plain-sailing, and was ex;. empt from all trickery and affectation. The chief fault was, in some passages, a want of dig nified deportment, where the ptoud indignant feel ings` of the Monarch demanded more elevated demeanour than when he gives vent to his cho leric-emotions ; , but this iti . a lank easily repaired, and altogether his performance was yery creditable to his talents, and highly satiqaetory to the audi ence, who applauded him warmly throughout. The Edgar of Mr. C. KEMBLB was always a masterly proot of critical correctness and expressive energy, and. was equally so last night. He also was much applauded. Mr. M'Cituanv possesses talents and powers that might have given more proininence to the character of the Bastard. Edmund. His out line was correct, but his colouring too faint.--M iss S. BOOTH WA9 a pleasing and interesting Corde/ife.' When Mr. C. KemaLe came forward tdanuounCe the performances of this evening, he was, accord ing to the disgusting fashion of the day, insulted by a call for BOOTH, mingled with cries of " No." Uncertain what to do, he remained some time on the stage, and then retired, to lead in Mr. BOOTH, who, however, was equally unable to obtain a bearing. The latter then withdrew, Mr. KIMIBLB returned, and was permitted to announce the intended Performances. This is very ungra cious and illiberal conduct on the part of the audience, and ought to be suppressed by the reso lute indignation of the main=i y. Mr. JOHN NELSON LAVENDER, one of the prin• cipal Officers at Queen-square, is appointed Go• vern or of Worcester County Gaol . , In tha room o f Mr, , iDavis,, lately re#igned. FOR THE SUN; THE DISTURBANCES I v SCOTLAND. EDlToa—Although every post from Scot• and Vrings intelligence" of the successful vigilance midi which the Radicals are watched and de ected-,'and there is erny prospect that as the 'utility of their schemes becomes manifest, re- Airning sense will induce them to resume the 'hides which they so. wickedly and foolishly aban loned, tive must not deceive ourselves by sup posing that there is any thing like a returning good spirit among them to gnaranteethe quiet of the Country. Disappointed vanity in the Leaders, and the idle spirit of the mullitude, which sought gratification from the wild doctrines of Reform, will still prey upon them at the loom, and haunt en) in the hour of relaxation. The failure of eir scheme, which can only be ascribed to its downright folly, will, however, be by them ito- pitted to local circumstances, which would not a►►tend'a second effort, and their abandonment of labour, though only for a time, and that too at• tended with disgrace and hunger, will have a mis- chievous effect upon their future habits by intro- clueing a general spirit of idleness, which they will at some better opriortuni•y seek to gratify by plunder. Ministers, therefore, must not be lulled by appearances, but maintain an imposing atti- tulle, which it would be wise to temper by a vi gilant watchfulness over all who are known to have an improper influence with the multitude —. Without adopting the continental system of Po. ,ce which in too many instances outrages do• mestic peace and privata confidence, they are bound by the alarming spirit of disaffection in the maunfacturing districts, to recommend to the Civil Authorities generally, an unceasing labour to de tect plots rather than to chastise open tumult.— Where the safety of the well-disposed inhabitants, ,end the very existence of national honour are con cerned, they may act up to the letter of the law, and by well-timed examples of severity prevent a reign of Anarchy, or at least the destruction of misguided thousands. In politics, as in other things, prevention is better than cure, ,for cure implies the previous action of disease, and all diseases have a tendency to weaken the system Ministers have recently shewn their approbation of this doctrine, and have only to proceed warily and constitutionally to rally round the Throne and Government all who are not decidedly tainted ,with the revolutionary Mania. Vigilance ! Vigi lance ! said the notorious Egalite, Duke of Or leans. Vigilance will overturn Thrones and de stroy Sovereigns: Why may not the Loyalist borrow a rallying word from tle:enemy, and also exclaim Vigilance ! for Vigilance only can increase power and suppress. sedition. Previous to the French Revolution, many partial revolts bad - broken out in the Provinces : they were suppressed, and Ministers boasted that they bad broken the neck of Rebellion. The event, however, proved, that they had only clipped its wings which quickly grew again, and when the friends of order were asleep, the monster left his den and strangled them. With respect to Glasgow, I .cannot help ob serving, that it is one of the few Cities in Scot- land in which due attention has not been paid to keep up the numbers of Kirks, in proportion to the wants of the population. Instruction, ex cept on sound Christian principles, will always create discontent, and lead to tumult. Glasgow is a rad instance of the truth of :ilia position. — As to!the best means of inducing the Radicals to return to their work, it would be well if the Ma nufactuTers of Glasgow, Manchester, Yorkshire, &c., were to adopt the plan of the Merchants who stopt the mutiny at the Nore, by declaring that they would employ no persons who continued in mutiny. Such a proceeding now, or at any future period, would certainly answer. I cannot dismiss this subject without noticing the Criminal use which the radical writers have made of the'Revolution in Spain, to excite their followers here to open rebellion. What in the name of reason have the unfounded complaints of our Reformers, in common with the just indigna tion of the Spanish people ? Spain was engulpherl in Universal SlaVery, a terrible Inquisition de based or stifled every sentiment, and dealt out unsparing vengeance to offenders. There we§ no autrisement, no intercourse allowed among any rank in society, for.fear of offending the King ; no Trial by Jury ; the Army destined to be sa crificed in h foreign land by savage natives and disease, anti the patriotic defenders of their coun try's glory, against an usurping Despot, exiled front the soil which they had wetted with their blood, and honoured by theii• virtues. Spain was revolutionized' to destroy that of which we know nothing but by conception. lo the great change which has ,taken place, may tht Spaniards be 'pre served from anarchy, the worst of all tyranny, and realize, atter our example,, the blessings of a free Government under a Monarchy limited by law, insuring freedom to all, end subjecting the ' sword to the legislative power. I am, Sir, Your very obedient Servant, Q. M.
