Of Compromise, they have hit upon the notable

Court of Madrid, but with a special reserva-

in the internal state of the Country shall enable
the Government to act externally with more

vigour and efficiency.
The most friendly disposition is stated to sub-
sist between the British Government and that of
the United States, and the former, it is asserted,
together with France and Russia, all urged the
Spanish Government to ratify the Treaty.
Amidst the attempts in this Message to put
the best face upon the internal state of the Coun-
try, there is evidently much embarrassment and
distress, more than enough to make the Govern-
ment hesitate much, and long before by any public
Declaration it Lurried on a war.

THE MACEDONIAN AND LORD COCHItANE.—We
take pleasure, says The Boston Patriot of Monday,
in informing the Public that Mr. JOHN S. ELLERY,
Owner of the Macedonian, received a letter yes-
terday morning from the Hon. Q. ADADAS, Secrg-
tary of State, informing him that he had submit-
ted Mr. ELLERY'S letter and the documents aa-

COMpallying it to i 1 PiItSIDENT, and that the
PRESIDeNT had directed him to inform Mr. EL.
LIIPY, that a public vessel of Ivar would be (119-
pAtched immediately to demand justice, agreeable
to the Laws of Nations.

The Pdri, Papers of Toe,iday last, which were

Our Readers will recollect, that a short time
since, we assured them that the Revenue for the
Quarter now terminated, would be found lo ex-
ceed they produce of the corresponding Quarter of
last year. We gave the fact from anthe.tify, and
the- Official Account, which we insert this day,
fully juAifics our prediction, making allowance
for the 'New Duties.

The Speech of Lord GRENVILLS, which, by
desire of many distinguiphed Pk.rons of our Paper,
we re-publish his day, gi, es such clear, just, and
enlightened views of the dangers that recen!ly
threatened the Coontry, end so fully justifies
the measures which Governoient has adopted for
its proteci ion, that we fcvl it to be a duty as well
as a pleasure, to comply with the request, and
we trust, that the sentintt tits of a N 14. wan
possessed or so solid knowledge and practi-
cal experience, will be instructive and satisfactory
to the People at large.
