Extract of a Letter from Waslaingt on, tinted April 23.
" It is rumoured to-days, •thet the new N•auish
Minister lias addressed a note to the Secretary of

Strafe, comptainiog of tte condu& of Mr—r'
vita, to which be has received no an-e'er, bit
he was called upon by our Government to 814
whether he VCRS prepared to act on the subjec/ ,
the treaty, unless assurances were given that t'u
Government would not recognize the inderel
Bence of the Patriots; the President will probably
communicate something in relation to our atilt

with Spain to-morrow."
These Journals contain various official notifi`
cations rendered necessary by the receipt of wet'
ligenre of the death of our late revered Sovereign'
The House of Assembly was expected in coolie"
quence to be dissolved.

As true Friends to this Country we'beartily
prove of the Motion brought •foiward last night
in the House of Commons for leate to bring in
Bill to continue the Alien Act, with an additional
Vrovision to prevent Naturalization in consegneece
of the purchase of Streit in the Bank of Sc°l'
land. We have too many Foreigners among
already, and such an easy tootle of becoming loco'
t sheet! may lead to art hark of the most excel'•
tionable characters. But, what is
worse, man)
Foreigners are permitted to hold public offices'
which ought to be wholly confined to the Native'
Of this Country. We are unwilling to dePlite
such Aliens of their situations, but as vacancies
occur, it may be expected of a B:itish Mieb")(
that they should fill them up with none but 13r‘i'
tish People: The times are hard, and the POPie
would have some consolation under their prey'
sure, in knowing that the money required of !Val
for the support of the Country is appropriated W
their Countrymen, who must always. feel a wool?'I
impulse of !wide as well as interest in its prosperity.
But a more important reason for guarding against
the free influx of ALIENS relates to the uncertoiri
situation of the Continent. A revolutionary feel'
ing is prevalent in every Foreign State, arra deg
lends only on temporary events. it it breaks o`i
successfully, it will tempt Domestic Traitors"'
engage in the same designs, audit it is-defeated'
the disappointed miscreants will pour into
country, and endeavour to spread their 1).40111,
doctrines. From all circumstances and considers'
Lions some prohibitory Legislative measure is ne
cessary for the seenrity of Government, and tbe •
protection of the State.

We have taken an article from The Morlifig
Post of this day respecting the Queen, because that
Paper seems to have the best intelligence on 'lie
subject, and to have offesed her advice upon
best motives- As to all the revests which slip
is said to have addressed to Lord LlvEaPoot•' to

be infoluted ,vhat residence is prepared for het
England, and to Lost) MELVILLE, that a IThci't
may be sent to Calais this day to convey Its

been made, they are so contradictory to the 011. "
reports, which sta'ed, that she had sear directi(l°
to her Agents here to prepare for her receptio"

however, that must disgust rather than amuse/

cence, which we hope is the ease, let her come /'‘

friends enough in this Country to support he

claims to justice, and to see that it shall be itter#

is to come, and riot to come, seem intended to Plc':
mote seciet ohjects, which, however, never c';
be accomplished, now that matters have °;

inquiry. We confess that though we were adveis:
to the return of her MAJESTY, the imprtidelict
officiousness of her friends, in rendering her
often the subject of public attention, induces Ij,
to alter our opinion, and to think that her rep°l6l,

If she remains abroad, it ill generally he w ,
