M. w srropzow, nepehew to the Rus.
sian Ambassador. 1T our court, came over
IN one OF the packets from Hamburg, and
IS said 10 be entrusted with dispatches
OF the utmost importance. A merchant
OF high respe6abiliiy in the city arrived
also by the same conveyance. He left
Belin on the 26,h ult. at which time il
was very generally reported, that France
bad determined upon bostilites against
Prussia, and that numerous French ar
my was already on its march, the FIRST O.
perations Of which would, of course, be
direeled against Hanover. The same gen.
tieman adds, that serious fears were en-.
tertsined for the safety Of Hamburg, and
the general prospect was rem dered the
more discouraging, from the opinion ve-
~ generally entertained, that disaffe etion
prevails among some divisions OF the Prus.
sian forces. For the currency of these
statements We cannot voucb, they seem
IN some degree sanctioned, from the cir
cumstances of the Prussian army being
continued on the war establishment & the
equipsge OF the king Of Prussia being
gain ordered to be got ready for the seId.
The ambassador to the French court, the
marquis Lucchesini, has returned to Der
lin. Some accounts say " on an important
mission {" others, "being recalled ~ his
own court"

mishttc added, that few strangers would
run The risk of bidding for property at
vendse, when the united Interest of the
whole reiGhborhood was opposed 10 the
sale.
Should this, on experience, prove to be
the case, ard The increase of the number
OF debtors bear any proportion TO the in
crease OF debt, as under the termination
held out by the present system of credit
1t no doubt Will, there is reason To appre-
bsnd, that IN a few years more there will
b. serious cause Ct alarm, not only on
account ofthe debt d1e, but even for the
lands which may remain unsold in that
section of the union. Strongly impress.
sed asthe committee are with this opini.
on, and believing, as they do for the rea.
sons assigned by the secretary of The
treasury in his letter herewith submitted,
that in abolishing the credit given blythe
present system, and hereafter selling the
public lands for ready money only, the
actual receipts into the treasury from
this source would be very little, if at all
reduced, and the revenue of course but
little affected, they feel themselves con
strained to adopt the opinion that il
would be, expedient to abolish the pre-
sent system.
inexpressing this opinion, the commit
tee feel some diHidence. The present
system was adopted on mature deIibera-
ton, and so Far has succeeded very well
Ia its operation; but by The accumulation
oil debts Tie evils which we're dreaded,
now begin 10 unfold themselves, and Ger
tainly wear an unpleasant aspect.
Il is not believed that the proposed
change ofsystem will operate any serious
Inconvenience tn PERSONS whose aircum.
stances furnish them any prospect OF be.
coming pul chasePs. The small trac,s in
which The lands are now offered for sale
place them in the reach of every person
who einigra,es to that country with a
view OF purchasing; and unless the price
should be greatly reduced, monied capi-
talists @iliS'ot be induced to engage in
that rx,eesive speculation in land, which
some years since prevailed SO generally
in every part of The country, and from
which SO many mischiefs have resulted.
The committee, ons full consideration
ofth subject, are Induced respectfully to
sutm the following resolution:
Resatved, That itis expedett TO repeal
all such parts ofihe laws respecting the
sale OF the pubic lar-s, as aulhorise 8
credit OF any part oil ihe purchase mo
ney.

!. The housc Of Representatives having
no" taken off the Injunction of secrecy
fFom their late confidential proceedings, it
appears that they related to the spanish
territories.
with Spain we have two important
points OF difference, resulting from our
reialious with France. One is The aies-
= lion respecting the extent and limits OF
Loulsisna, which was ceded to Us from
France by descrip,ou refer ing TO pri-
or session, or recession, ftem Spain to
France, ADD also Ia The ancient French
possession of the province. From want
u geogfaphica! Certainty, dispute, has
arisen, 'gitii respect to The southwestern
boundary; and, from a similar cause, To-
gether with The relative terms of TIN. de
scrIpnon, there has been diffrtence Of
opinion and claim, as 10 the eastern ex-
tent OF the cession. While the serriior;-
al limits were thus unsettled. our govern
ment has abstained from taking possessi.
on of thu disputed tract of country, or
changing the exislipg state of thines.-
10 other subject Of controversy IS The
claim we mskc on Spain, fn. Preach spo-
naions committed within Spanist luri.-
a'eu0n, previous TO our treaty OF setils
nent with France. If Spain is liable 10
US, france may be justly responsible 10
Span. So far at least France IS corcern-
cd IN the dispute; and, being in an slE
ance offensive and defensive with Spain.
1t IS supposed must, upon the principles
otihat alliance, in case of rupture he.
tween US and Spain, take past in the war
agsiust Us.
