' New YOXIL, ?drawn 9.—Tbe inhabitants of the
'el, and Members of Congress, gave a splendid
ball on Friday last, at Crawford's lawn, to Mr.
and Mrs. Begot, previous to their deportees for Eng.
hind. After supper the health of Mr. and Mrs.
Bigi.t was drank with great applause; and in corn.
Aliment to the occasion, the hand struck up the Eng.
lish national sir, God sew Ms King, which was im-
mediately followed by Yankee Donate.
Mr. Begot has, by the amenity of his manners, the
respect which he is believed to hare always shown
towards the Goverment, sod the uniform politeness
with which he treats every body, gained a greater
degree of [clod-will than Ins been experienced by
any other English Mintst.r, with the exception, per.
hips, of Mr. Firkin.. If., has shown how easy it is
to combine with the moat sint-ers attachment to his
own country soil its 'mutations, the most perfect re-
spect for others. Mr. Bigot is truly an Englishman;

The Mese on theesmt ion of MEN resolved
itself into • Committee at lb. whole ore theStete of the
Cuban, to which was referred the Bill sethorising
the President of the United Stoles to take possession
ender the treaty with Spain. of East and West Flo-
rida, and providing for the temporary intermittent of
the territory. _ _

Mr. Hot:mt. moved to amend the ROI. by insert-
ing a prosisioo to authorise the appnitsimesst of Com-
missioners for the adjustment of the claims, end of
the western bosodary, in pursuance of the stipula-
tions of the •treaty, and providttig the rum of --
dollars tn defray the expenses of the said Commission.

Sir. lielmes. in propostne, this emendator, re.
marked, that it was made ►atter iu pursuance of the
sattgestioes of else of the eaecotive departments (the
Secretary of State), by whom it was considered no.
eessary. than because it had been deemed essential by
the Committee. It roma:nett for ha !fosse tudecide
whether it was new proper or not.

Mr. Potnnozccathriaght that Congress would aet
more ooderstandiogly on this subject, if it waited
for the ratification of the Treaty. It was not now

The proceedings in the !fosse of Commons of lest
night, as usual, inspires but little hope its the breast of
the Patriot. It must disgust the Riad of an upright
man to see how the subject of Lord A. Ilawt"ros's
motion was treated ; a matter, es his Lordship very
properly and truly said, not of mere local interest as
affecting the Burgh of Aberdeen, bet of interest In
every Bergh of Scotland, and to every inhabitant of
that country. The fiat contradiction, of Ministers
mud their supporters to the assertions of Noblemen
and Gestlemen of the first character, the denials of fact,
which to the by-slanders appears, obviates es the son at
noon day, exhibit so degrading a picture to the honest
unpracticed Patriot, that it Is painful to look at it, and
yet the eye will suturally recur to it whenever the
columns of a Newspaper are filled with debate. The
following is a sp►cimen of what we have been oh. 1
serving :—Lord CASTLEREAGH said," The Noble Lord
(A. Hamtvron) had dose his utmost to persuade the
House that banked very little, that his motion was one
that none could refute; bat in fact it was nothing
else than to introduce Into Scotland a Parliamentary
Reform, which the other side of the House could
not obtain for England." Both sides of the house called
not hear, hear! from which little could be concluded.
Lord A. HAMILTON replied, that tin answer had
been gives to his statement of facts, either by Lord
CASTLLERAGII, or by the young Lord of the Ad.
miralty (Sir G. Emil), w►om he pleasantly called
the sacking Statesman—the pupil of the Noble Lord,
who having now for the first time left the n y of
Whitehall, had given so excellent a proof of his aptness
under so able a tutor. After all, a majority of fire
decided the question : a division, which in Lord
NORTH'S time that Premier would have stknowledged
to be a Ministerial defeat.

The condition of the United Kingdoms at Ibis ■o-
ment exhibits a phenomenon. It is governed by
Ministers, of whom we deny aoy man whotevet to
affirm, or et any rate to prove, that they possess
either the confidence of the Sovereign or his saltiest,.

It is pretended that her master is no longer Plummety
