There is one singularity attendant npori the restoration
of King Ferdinand, which deserves a little attention.—
Notwithstanding this restoration, Spanish soldiers and
officers, and soldiers of the Constitutional party, are still
transmitted, as prisoners of tear, to the interior of France.
It is said they choose this ; hut how long is the character
of prisoners of war to attach to them. To allow them the
privilege, seems to be to confess that the Constitutional
system is not yet overthrown—for these must br prisoners,
because they refuse to acknowledge an absolute King.—
The French call him King of Spain, and boast they have
restored him ; but this detention of the best of the Spanish
army in France is a contradiction to their statement. if
these prisoners of war will not acknowledge Ferdinand,
they must remain prisoners until they die ; but upon the
legitimate construction, they are all traitors, for refusing'
to acknowledge the authority, and submit to gie orders of
Ferdinand. An attempt will probably be made to incor-
porate them with the French army ; and in their disgust
at the wretched policy of England, they may become ad-
venturers in a foreign service, to avoid the humiliation of
being slaves at home.

New York papers were received yesterday to the 9th alt.
Time American commissioners at St. Augustine hail entered
inter a treaty with the Florida Indians, by which the latter
had consented to remain within such limits as the tiovern.
latent of the United States should allot them. It was
supposed they would be placed in time south of that state,
I thus leaving the remainder of their acquisition to their new
masters, who would dots be enabled to bring into the
market an additional quantity of valuable land for 'lsle.
The contest between the tatters on the Missouri and the
Ricaree Indians had terminated in favour of the former,
who had driven than from their villages. After the
Americans had quitted them, the habitations of the Indians
were said to have been set on fire by sane of the pnrtners
and agents of the Missouri For Company, in order to
provoke new acts of hostility against the Aineric6ntiaders,
and by that means to frustrate the objects of their expedi-
tion. Such diseracerul acts coestantly resnit tom the
enmity of the English and American trailers. that they
merit lunch more justly than the people they so designate,
the appellation of savages.
A letter from Philadelphia. mentioning the report of
Lafayette being expected to settle in Atimeriea, is insetted
in the Conslitationnel ; a circumstance spick, perhaps,
may be regarded as giving some credibility to the report.
