TREATY Or CUICAGO.—On Thursday last Governor
Gin and Mr. Sibley, the Commissioners appointed to
treat with the Indians, returned from Chicago, toge-
ther with the gentleman who attended, with the treaty.
We understand that the object of the Government has
Iterl fully obtained, and that a cession has been made
by the tatßand; on favourable terms, of allthe country

estendisg from the Southern boundary of this country

to the (inked River, containing by estimation upwards
0(5,000,000 acres. Not less than 3000 Indians at-
tended at the Council, and during the whole progress
they conducted themselves with propriety.

BOARD OF HEALTH. SEPT. 97.—There has been

reported to the Board of Health, by the President Phy.
sician, two cases of malignant fever. The board also
states that two persons who were taken sick were vent
dawn to the Marine llospital. Both had worked on
board the ship, Maria, laying at gu•►rantine, a sickly
vessel, from which four persons had died at the Marine

Accounts from Hanover, our readers will observe,
state, that notwithstanding all the elaborate reasoning
of the official article in the Berlin Gazette, it is the
opinion of people there that a war between Russia
and the Porte is still anticipated, and would be very
popular. The objects of the diplomatists now assem-
bled in that city, appear to be as secret, as their ac-
tivity is visible ; and all that can be collected is that
thc Cabinet of Vienna, if war should take _place. will
be on the aide of that of London, though the policy of
the English Government, which is supposed to be on-
friendly to the Greeks, is by no means consistent with
the popular feeling in Germany. This conjecture,
rcvecting the understanding between the English and
the Austrian Cabinets, has received some corroboration
from an article from Vienna, received by the last
mail, which states that it was there believed that the
object of the visit of Prince Metteroich to Hanover
was to arrange au uniform line of conduct fur the
Austrian and British Plenipotentiaries at Constan-
tinople, in order that they might act vigorously toge-
ther to promote the maintenance of peace. Whether
this I.e the form the arrangement is to take we know
not ; but it is evident that some important arrange-
ment is actually on the tapir, and whet is still
more interesting, that some arrangement is abso-
lutely necessary to keep the Holy Allies or any
two of them together. The Berlin State paper alleged
that when the insurrection in Greece arose, these Al-
lies mutually engaged, that to whatever measures it
might in the sequel compel them, it should not dis-
unite them. What more is necessary to prove the false-
hood of this assertion than the necessity that exists for
the present elaborate and mysterious negotiations at
Hanover.

Human nature is the same in every country, but to
bad Government it owes its prejudices, its bigotry,
and intolkrance. Early impressions are not to be
removed by any thing bat strong sense and philoso-
phy ; and real courage can never be exhibited to more
advantage than when it is called in to vanquish those
illiberal ideas that grow up with us from childhood.
The old Tories amused us with the notion that a li-
mited form of Goverment was not permanent, and
would at all times be a scene of broils and
democratic uproar ; that absolute monarchies only
could exhibit justice and protection to the subject.
Theoeopinions have been so completely falsified by the
past and the present, that we have little dread of the
future. The Portuguese have proceeded regularly in
the work of regeneration ; it appears, they have brought
their RING so far to his senses, that he is conducting
bitneelf with more wisdom than any other Monarch in
Europe. The Cortes are incessantly employed in
foreleg a Constitution, embracing the genuine princi-
ples of liberty, reserving to the KING such powers as
will prevent his attempt to encroach on the rights of
the people. These brave men are 'hewing more constitu-

tiosal wisdom and national dignity than any go-
rerament in Europe ; and, instead, according to the rel.
pr notions of three Portuguese makint a bad Spaniard.
they are shelving themselves legislators entitled to the
admiration of the world. The Prince Royal writes'
from Rio de Janiero that the finances there bad fallen
short, and that the army not being regularly paid.

Hear this, you thinking people of England; these sol-
diers pay themselves when the ways and means fall
short ; just so wonld it be in other places, and if his
Majesty King Joule came in the way of these
military law-gi►ers, perhaps, be might feel as awk-
ward as other victims of military riolence have
been heretofore. The Prince Royal, who, by the by,
it said to he a liberal, has written from Rio Janeiro,
that he feels himself possessed of as concentrated pow-
ers as a Captain-General ; in consequence of which, be
might learn the necessity of submitting to suer con-
tracted power. A Decree has been promulgated to
enable his Royal Highness to travel through France,
Spain, and England, accompanied by men of enlight-
ened winds, and warmly attached to the Consti-
tutional system. This is an earnest of Portu-
guese wisdom ; at the same time we should recommend
his Royal Highness to make no chew or parade on his
journey, and to avoid the political influence attached to
Courts. If he do travel, let it be for improvement; let
him mix with the people; it is through them alone he
can learn wisdom ; it is from them he can learn the
wisdom of governing, and the misfortunes attending
mal-administration. Let him learn the true sentiment,.
of the people, from whose spirit and industry even•
thing ►manstes. Let him avoid Courtiers as he would
the plague ; and, perhaps, he may return to his native
country with the asustance of hi.i travelling monitors,
so far improved, as to feel satisfied that no King eat.

cess and improvement on his journey.

Most of the operations in the French Stock market
are, we understand, conducted by Englishmen, who art
endeavouring to get the price of the French Consols up

Lisnos. OCT. 18.—" In the sitting of the Cortes of
of the 10th instant, the discussion was resumed
on the questi in whether persons in public em-
ployments might he elected members of the legislature.
Senor Bastos made a long and able speech, in which hr
insisted on the necessity of the separation of the legis-
lative, the judicial, and executive powers, if it was
really wished to have a security for the preservation of
liberty. He concluded by pointing out the great in-
consistency into which the Cortes had fallen, by deny-
ing the King any share in preparing laws, and yet
allowing them to be made by the agents of his power.
" Several members spoke in support of the articles
of the Constitution as tt originally stood, and Senor
Bastos replied to them. After considerable debate,
this question was time put to the vote---• May persons
holding public offices be elected Deputies for the
Cortes?' And carried in the affirmative."
An account has been published in Spain of the Mo.
nasteries and Convent' suppressed by the Cortes. It
appears that in the provinces of Toledo, Castille, Arm
gon and Andalusia, the Jesuits possessed 124 colleges,
and 16 houses of residence ; the Monks of St. Ber-
nard 60 monasteries ; those of St. Benoit, 63 ; the
Carthusian', 16 ; those of St. Jerome, 48 ; those of St.
Basile 17; the Premonstratenses 17 convents ; the
military orders, 14 ; the Charitable of St. John, 59 ;
the Monks of the Holy Ghost, 8 ; those of St. Antony
under the authority of Abbots, 36 ; total, 477. There
are, however, not less than 2,692 of these houses still
remaining in Spain.
The Prince de Croi, Bishop of Strasburg, is appoint-
ed Grand Ahnoner of France, in the place of the Car-,
dinal de Perigord.
A Resolution was moved by Lord Suffield, and una-
nimously agreed to by the Magistrates at Norwich
late Sessions, recommending that workmens' wages
should be paid not later in the week titan Friday, with
a view to the better observance of the Sabbath, and to
enable the poor to make their purchases without its vio-
!ado's. The Resolution cannot be too highly praised.
The exterior of the King's Palace, in Pall-mall, has
undergone repairs, previous to his Majesty's return to
England. It has been new painted, &c. ; the Palace-
yard has been n.w paved Ind gravelled. The cannon
taken by the Duke of Wellington at the battle of Wa
terloo, has been removed from the spot in St. James's
Park into the Ordnance warehouse on the Parade;
and the celebrated bomb, made by order of Bonaparte
for the siege of Cadis, was yesterday finally removed
near to the spot where the Waterloo cannon formerly
stood, under the direction of Mr. Hirst, of the Office
of the Board of Works. Yesterday Benjamin Charles
Stepheasoe, Esq. the Surveyor General of his Majes-
ty's Works and Public Buildings, and the Might Hon.
Charles Long, the Chairman of the Committee for
the inspection of National Monuments, attended on
the Parade in St. James's Park, and gave directions
for the spot where the celebrated French bomb is to
be placed, which is between the West ride of the wall
of the Chancellor of the Exchequer's garden and the
Canal. We understand the report of a statue of the
late King being placed on the spot where the cele-
baated Waterloo cannon stood, is not correct. Thus
far saith the Court Circular; but farther it saith not.
The public wonder at these changes, and enquire the
cause. But what reason can be assigned for alter-
ations with which reason has not to do. The change
takes place, because a change is desired ; and the
effect is sufficient of itself to indicate the motive.
During the autumn a considerable improvement bas
been made in Hyde Park, near the Chesterfield-vete. The
fiat part there, which was so low as to bootee overflowed,
and was somewhat unwholesome to the neighbourhood,
has been raised by a thick graham of brick-ribbish,
now pretty well covered with moald. The sew ground
is, however, townsman to be turfed, and it may be
long before there is a good sod upon it.
