tlan we do the operation and effects of the COrn
Laws, in raising to an undue price the first. neces-
saries of life, we cannot see how their operation can
at the same time tend to reduce the price of wages.
The facts stand in direct opposition as to cause and
effect : but in their origin of action they flow from a
common source, the avarice, cupidity, and irrlainta-
,;sy of men determined to be rich: A set of unfeel-
men raise tke price of corn, and in simultaneous
Jtion with another—(the nianufacturcrs) depress the
price of wages.—" &rot keek" for • full
fryloymoit ! At no time for these fifty years past
have corn and other products of land been at such
prices as to enable a labourer or mechanic to main
twin himself, (ilot to F peak at all of his family,) on
such a miserable pittance.—You complain, all of you,
of the increase of thefts and robberies of late years—
you are yourselves the cause of this increase by your
on robbery of your labthirers and wcrkmen of the
fair reward of their industry.

FROM TILE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
WASHINGTON, DECENIBEIt 9.
Then.. was yesterday transmitted to the House of
Representatives, by the PRESIDENT, in conformity to
ule Resolution of that body, calling for further in-
f-rmation relative to the state of our relations with
Spain, a number of documents, amongst which the
Solt important is a letter from Mr. Secretary Adams
tt o.or Miuister in Spain, dated on the 9.;>th of

north.
This letter is devoted to the examination of the
!Ate from the Spanish Secretary of State, addressed
to our, Z Ilnister, Mr. Irving, respecting the events of
the late war with the Seminole Indians, and the in-
rts'.on of Florida, which, through the of the
Etrropean Newspapers, has found its way to this
tortry, and, doubtless, to all the Cabinets td Europe.
The letter of Mr. Adams may be regarded as tits
rt'plication of the Ametican Government to the Ma..
zies..o of the Government of Spain, for such the let-
te: of M. Pizarro became, by the usual and ostenta-
publicity given to it.
In this light the letter of Mr. Adams became a
thy interesting State Paper. Its length does not
deter us. from presenting it to our Readers in our
tit. though we cannot venture to say when we shall
it ab'.e to publish the documentary evidences ap-
;ended to it, consisting of more than seventy papers;'
sane of them, from their bearing on questions of late
rnltch agitated, will be worthy of publication.
We are told that a friendly and animated Corrcs-
rcpcience has been long kept up between President
Adams and Jefferson, a part of which will shortly
be published.
