" PARIS, APRIL IL—Yesterday the King,
after hearing Mass in his apartments, transaced
business with the Duke de Richelieu.
" Letters from Bayonne state, that the Mar-
quess de Vera Cruz, appointed Ambassador to the
Court of France, was still at Madrid, but that M.
Noguera, the Secretary of Legation, had arrived
in that city, and was to proceed to Paris, where
is to act as Charge d'Affaires, until the arrival
of !he Ambassador.

" The King's health becomes better every day.
Majes:y sleeps for several hours successively.
is hoped that the King will be able to dine en
famille the beginning of next week. His Majes-
ty transacted business yesterday evening from
tight to ni►te, with the Baron Moonier, Director
of the General Police.

It is said, that the Election rr,ijet will be
Vititdrarrn from ,the Chamber of Deputies, and
that another will be presented this day to the
Chamber of Peers.

CONGRESS—[SPANISH AFFAIRS.]

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT.-1 transmit to
tite Senate copies of sundry papers, having rela-
tion to the Treaty of the 22d February, 1819.
hetweeu the 'United States and Spain, which have
been received at the Department of Stale, and
have not before been coinmunicated to the Senate.
Washington, Mareh 8. JAMES MONROE.
The Message and Documents were read, and
Copies printed.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE, Washington. Dec. 16, 1819.
SlR—With reference to the 'question proposed
by the Committee, whether the Executive cono.
dem the Florida Treaty a's a sobstoingt one, valid
according to national law, I have the honour to
attte, that the President considers. the Treaty of
the 22d Feb. last, as obligatory upon the honour
and good faith ot Spain, not as a perfect Treaty
cratification being essential formality). but as a
Compact Spain las f.tound to ratify, as an adjust-
ment of the diff:rences between the two nations',
which-the King ot Spain by his full power to the
Minister had solemnly promised to approve, ratify,
and fulfil. As there is no Court of Chancery be-
tween nations, these differences' 'can be settled
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
through 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
vvsts,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,
but 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
the 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 openly take a part in it against the
• United 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.

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. Ttea7
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
also be anxious 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
submit, while they are obviously founded upon
moral grounds, and the irresistible. plea of na-
tional 'necessity.

IRISH HUMOUR.

The following Effusion of Humour recent!? appeared in an
Irish Journal. We insert, it not oniy on account of its own
merit, but because we presume that the Goyeroment Officers
on our side of the water will heartily concur in the otject of
this ludicrous Petition.

TO THE EDITOR OF, CARRICK'S MORNING P(ST.
SIR,
As you are so well known in the list of redressers,
I beg, in your Paper, a station ;
And though Gaugers, and Revenue Clerks, and Assessors,
Cannot hope for your kind approbation,
As here the): are class'd 'inongst the cruel oppressors,
Designated a curse to the nation.

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•
vernor of Worcester County Gaol., In tha room
of 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.
