BOSTON, SUPT. 20.—The lion. WARD CHIP-
MAN, one of the British Commissioners for ad-
justing the boundaries, has arrived here in the
sloop Duke of lVellington, from St.
BALTIMORE, Sorr. 26.--1 t is now generally be-
lieved, that our Government are about sending a

is in Vail: cOnjecture; tent It unity. lead to
imp`ortaut re utts, is, we thinit, very evident.
SEPT. 27:—lt is already known, that in ..rune
last, CrßsAit IL Itorrt:ntit, JOHN GRAHAM, and
WALTER JONES, Esp-t. *ei.e appointed, by the
Executive of the United Statesi Commissioners to
proceed to numb Arnetiea, for purposes whicle
Lave been Kttliel• kitessed at than folly explain-
ed; Thes‘e Coniblissionera were to have sailed kr
the Hornet, hilt that vessel having been found on
trial not well suited to accommodate them, and
other Circin)6tance:.; having Occurred to, cange
delay, those Gentleinen did not proceed on their
thisiion at the time contemplated.
A subject of ionic moment has been started for
public discussion. Some weeks since an itllusioh
was Made in this paper, tb the circumstance of a
rumoured negociation between our Government
and that of Spain, for the exchange of the terri,

tory We chimed west of NacogdoChes, for Florida.
The National Intelligencer seerns to countenance
the suggestion. "An Inhabitant of Louisiana,"
has conic forward to attack the principle of such
negociation, and to show the importance of the
possession of Texas, in comparison of the " sad-
dy" slip of Florida.

. The essay is written with ingenuity•—but how•
ever just are his ideas of the importance of Toots,
he has underrated the value of the Floridas.—
" Sand !" Is it the only characteristic of that
region ? Is it net of great value to us a'S em-
bracing the mouths of the. Mobile and Other
rivers ? As comprehending some Indian tribes,
whose mercenary or vindictive tomahawks fri:-
quently drink the blood of our brethren ? As
furnishing depirts for an enemy, and the means
of attacking some of our Southern assail-
able points ? As presenting :future harbours for
our marine, in its operations in the Mexican
Gulph ? as furnishing a large supply of valuable
live oak for our navy, stores of which we are at
present purchasing ? as containing several tracts
of excellent quality ?
The fact is, we want the Floridas and we mast
hare them. Is any time more favourable to this
object ? How long shall our just claims be put 04
by the insidious arts of DON °NIS, his master ?
Month after month, and year after year have ws
petitioned for redress ; but front some frivolous,
pretext or other, they have contrived to evade oil(
import unities. Delay breeds danger.

LIAVANNAII, AUG. 31.—The Independent ph

vateers are very numerous at present in this. quar-
ter, and have taken many vessels under the Spa.
nish flag, and plundered several Dutch, HAT,.
burgh, and Bremen vessels, but we do not hear
of their molesting either English, French, or
Americans. The frigate Sabina is to sail for Ca-
diz to-morrow with 4 or 5 millions of dollars.

A Dutch Mail arrived yester►lay, by which WC

turned from China have brought the account that the Empe-
ror of CISINA wishes to sec at his Court Amilassadors froo,
foreign Powers, .on the same footimr ;is at the Courts of F,o-
rope, in order to !Jeep up constant diplomatic relations with

QUEBEC.—By letters from this City, dated the
23th of September, we learn that the Commis-
sioners appointed by Government, continued it
the vicinity of the Red River, investigating the
causes of the dispute between Lord SELKIRK
the North-west Cumpaoy. The trial, which hail
exciter,. general interest, was expected to take
place immediately at York,. Upper Canada, that
town being selected for the convenience of wit"
ncsses, and it
,was reriorted they would be very'
numerous. The letters add, that there was in,
doubt the whole matter of dispute would ulti-
mately be referred to the Courts of England, bni,
that it was necessary to establish the facts of the
case in Canada.—The accounts from Americ'
~state, that in less than six months the Florido;
be under the goverment of the United States;
for that a Treaty between the American Govertv"
ment and Spain, respectine. the cession of those
provinces by the latter, will be sit/unified earls
next Session to •the consideration of Congress'
The price to be paid for those extensive countries
is reported to be five millions of dollars.

have rumours in abundance about who is to be
our future member, as Mr. ELLIsoN, it has bee"
said, would decline. Those twined as solicitoo4
for the vacant seat are Sir T.,BuunoN, Mr.Scolf'
the son of the Loan CHANCELLOR, and Sir J0t.44
