NEW-YORK, Mama/ 9.

A Spanish squadron, of five frigates, a brig,
and one schooner, sailed from Ilavanna on the 19th ult. under
tivemmand of Commodore lianoßDE. It is staikthat the
squ on after convoying sgrbiaticrehant vessels through, the
Gulf, would proceed to St. Jag°, to land the Archbishop of
Cuba, and some troops, and thence proceed on a cruize along
the coast of Colombia and Mexico.

NEW YORROIARCII 2.—We are authorized to state, from
an authentic source, under date of 26th rebruary, from Wash-
ington, that the President has had under consideration the ex-
pediency of adapting our naval force to the state of war which.
exists in South America, between BraZil and La Plata. As
soon as the public service will admit of it. we shall be fepre-
sented there by a force, competent, it is hoped, to cause due
respect to be paid to our flag.
:1! nett 3.—A plan has been recently adopted at Norfolk, in
Virginia, tbr the relief of the venerable JeKrson, which we
think ought to be adopted in every other part of that country
that is so much indebted to his early and long continued ser.;
vices in the cause of independence. A subscription has been
opened in the banks, and other public places of that city, by
which every individual, so choosing, may set down his name
for such a sum us seems most convenient to him, but in no in-
stance to exceed five dollars( National Intelligeneer.)
The Nationalintelligencer of Wednesday last contains the

history of the question between the twoGovernmentt4 Thegrounds
of the claim ofeach Government are, says theintelligeneer, clearly
stated. The result of the whole is, that the question yet re-
mains open, with very little appearance of approximation to at
settlement. It is very important that the question should be settled
before the coast is ; it being very easy to perceive that time
will meltiply, instead of removing, the impediment to .an ad-
justment of the difference. between the two governments.—

The United States' (Philadelphia) Gazette has the following
paragraph on the subject of the amendments to the Constitu.
non, now before Congress:—" In Congress, the question of
altering the Constitution, to affect the election of President and
Vice-President of the United States, continues to be agbat, d.
We find it totally impossible, us we believe it would be quite
Unprofitable to attempt publishing the various resolutions auil
arguinents that have wasted the time of the two Houses, upon
this subject, the present session, without any Vobability of
reaching the object-proposed by the movers."

[Pram The Baltimore Chronicled
Extract of a letter, dated Washington, Feb. 23 :—" The Pa.

the Panama Mission. You have been apprised that a very able
report has been made against this Mission. This report is said-
to have been written by •Alr. Tazewell, of Virginia, although
Mr. Macon was the Chairman of the Committee, he is under-
stood to have been merely pro forma Chairman. The _Senate
have been discussing preliminary matters heretofore, but are
understood to have gotten through all these to-day, and to-mar-
row speak to the main questions"
(From The Ncn' York Daily -Advertiser,' March ti.)
By a short sketch of a speech, said to have been delivered by
Mr. Randolph, of Virginia, in the Senate of the United States,
upon a motion to call for information on the Panama ques-
tion, we think that a parG at least, of the opposition to the
appointment of Ministers to that Congress may be account-
ed for. The Honourable Gentleman above mentioned is
obviously afraid that the principles of the Southern Repub-
lics respecting slavery will prove to be contagious, and
that the spirit of Emancipation will .eventually find its way
into the United States.- We infer this from the remarks which
he is stated in the Alexandria Plurals to haVe made. 'lf that
apprehension exists extensively among the politicians of the
slave states, we can easily account for the pertinacity with which
the measure is opposed. The idea that the time may first or
last arrive, when the tbul blot in our national character will be
wiped away, and the United States contain nothing but freemen
among their inhabitants, appears to be the most dreaded of all
events that are expected to be disclosed by the lapse of time.
. Calling human beings property, We are well satisfied that Slave
holders value slaves in a much higher degree than they do any
other property they possesss
The. Qmgress at Panama are probably in session. Great
Britain and other European Powers have their Agents there,
• uninvited, to watch over their interests and advance their an.
rangementa. Our country, alone, of all the world, the United
States nos invited to send Representatives to that most im-
part:lnt assembly. The invitation was accepted by the Execu-
tive Government. Delegates were appointed : immediately on
the assembling of Congress, their names were submitted to the
Senate, and now—at the end of three months, with the know-
ledge that the whole country are. in favour of the measure—the
Senate have not parsed upon the nominations—sow delegate,
remain at home--our.intertsts are sacrificed. We slight the
invitation. given., ;and hazard the good opinion of sill the Inde-
pendent Governments of America, that 3 few men may wreak
their vengeance on on individual, or manifest their hostility to
time asiministration of:their country.— (Dsmocrufie Press.)

who received such handsome support Vice-President

upon by the executive
.to recommend to Congress- the policy of
sending a special mission to France for the purpose of enforcing
on that Government the necessity of a liqtfidation of the

• Al Exrco.—Ativices from Mexico are to the 29th January,
and from Alvarado to the oth ultimo. The Mexican- Senate
appears to be taking, measures, in which it is believed the
Howie of Representatives will concur, to co-operate with the
Colombians against the Cubeans. There are several indications,
however, of jealousy between the Mexicans anti Colombians,
its respect to the lead the latter have taken in the Congress of
Panama. .
