FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
LONDON, Nav 6.

Yesterday we were favored with sever
al numbers of the Madrid Gazette to the
9th OF April. The Gazette of the 2lst of
March contains the following
articles ,chich Charles ". proposes to his
august Son Ferdinand III. for lis &C.
ceptGnce and solemn approximation.
6 Article 1. The REIMBURSEMENT TO my
beloved son of the crown of Spain, imposes
on him and his successors the obligation of
ahordlng me the sum necessary to support
me, with that decorum which the hieh rank
in which it pleased Providence tc place me
requires. Experience has taught me that
the sum afforded TO me since my departure
from Spain, has been insufficient to
supply the expences which are indispensa-
bic to the decency and accommodation of
my person, and that of my august house.
Il am aware of the deplorable state Of the
nation, and of the difficulties of my below
ed son; but know also that nothing would
DC more painful to his ingenious soul, than
that his august parents should want the
.conveniences which are required by their
high rank, their parental claims, and their
advanced age, in which his own honor and
that OF the nation are interested. That the
good OF the latter and of my beloved son
may be made compatible with my own
comfort, propose that there be allowed
me in future IL millions of reals annually,
to be paid monthly in advance. Hmy son
cannot at present pay me the four millions
OF reals, forming the difference between
the millions which he has assigned me,
and the 70 millions which | request, this
excess shall be clam which / shall have
Upon the nation, and which the nation will
satisfy when its situation is Moderated.
60. From the time at which the victo-
rlous arms of Spain began to expel the
UsuTper, till my son assigned me 100000
OF reals, there was a period In which / was
Idestitute Of all assistance. During this
lperlOd | contracted a debt of six millions
lofreaIs, debt which nv son and his sue
cessors ought to acknowledge as their own,
Tor the purpose of generating me from
this burtheh, and to indemnify me for
the sum which it was their duty to al
ford me during the said period of time
Let 1t, therefore, be an obligation on nv
son and his successors to Pay me the said
aTear Of millions Of reals within the pc
Rod OF three years, that may settle with
my creditors, or let my son take upon him
the debt as his own, and stipulate with my
creditors for their payment.
=" 3. Should my beloved wife survive me.
nothing can be more becoming our dear
son than that he should afford his GOOD
mother the means Of subsistence BETTING
her high rank, and the dignity Of the Sow
ereign Of Spain, her own son. The love
which | bear my august wife, and the obi
CATION ] am under, that she should live
comfortable ever after my death, make II
my duty to fix her widows pOI ton before
God shall call me to Judgment. It shall
therefore be an obligation OH my son and
Us SUCCESSORS, to pay the Queen my wife,
Inc annual sum Of 5 millions Of reals BY
monthly instruments.

HORNET AND PENGUIN.

We have received only, as yet, the fol-
lowing additional particulars respecting
the Hornet, &c. ,M our brave fellows
wounded were doing well. The Hornets
triiiing damages were Immediately repair
ed. and she is proceeding on her cruize.
A letter from captain Diddle is silent as to
his being wounded, The editor of the De-
mocratic Press says. We have seen
letter from admiral Tyler to captain Dick
enson of the Penguin, dated 8: Cape Town,
January 81, 1885," from which we learn
that the Penguin was fitted out to fight
and capture the United States ship Wasp,
and to enabled her so to do, along with
much GOOD and cautious advice, the admi-
raj sends g twelve marines from the Med
way TO keepa constant fire on her the
VaSp'S tops" Our readers know that
the Hornet is much lighter aud mach
older than the Wasp, yet the Hornet soon
stung the poor Penguin to DEATH"

BRITISH PERFIDY

MIR. Forsyth has returned from Fort
Clark, on the Illinois river, whittier he
was sent by the Commissioners to invite
Che Pottawattimie Indians to the contem-
plated treaty. His official report, which
IS very lengthy, announces a fact, which.
while IT does not astOnish, is calculated to
excite IN every virtuous and republican
mind the most sovereign contempt for the
nature and character Of TIE act.
Since the treaty Of peace between tho
United States and Great Britain was off,
clally communicated TO the British Carl
sons on the Mississippi, and the tenor
thereof made known 10 the Indians and
since our commissioners have been MAXIM
preparations to hold the treaty. which i e
necessary to do in order TO perfect tbe
peace with England the most industrious
steps have been taken by British traders
and agents to impress q belief ON the
minds Of the Indians that the intended no
gociation Is ali a trick, for the purpose n
lnvelgiing them into danger-Ietters have
been written and circulated among then
advising that an armed soldiery Is 70 b,
placed in ambush b. the Americans, and
Virginia Argus. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1796-1816, 1815-07-12

that when they are assembled at the differ
ent points of treating, Inevitable destruc-
ton is to be the consequence. Some of
these agents and letter writer's have been
identified.
Whether this has been done at the in
stance of his majesty's officers or not is
yet in the dark and 1 am not prepared
to hazard an opinion on the subject
There is SO much perfilv. and such want
of nationalhonor in tne British government
and at the same time SO much individual
baseness in the English people, that it is
difficult to say who may or may not have
been the real authors OF conduct SO de-
grading.
The eject ofthis conduct on the part
OF the British agents and traders, are not
to be regarded by the American govern
ment !; nor by the people in this quarter.
Because think land | believe there are
very few but who think so too) that 1t is a
matter of entire immaterfality whether
there is any treaty made with the Indians
or not. The ATTEMPT, however, it seems
must be made. Probably we shall have to
feed for two or three months several thou
sand lndians-fatten them upon our RAJ
tlons-and store their powder horns and
shot-pouches with ammunition, inst for the
purpose of enabling them TO make more
effectual war upon us.
Ii the departments of state were located
on this side of the Ohio river, where they
could see aud feel the enorlnities of the
indians--the dishonorable conduct of our
late enemy-and witnesses the groans and
cries OF our innocent and defenceless inl.a-
bitants-lf this were the case, then we
should receive the protecting arms of gov
eminent. But the melancholy cry or muir
der ceases to be heard before ii reaches
Washington City, and it scarcely excites a
sympathetic feeling.- Western Journal.

The Surveyors lately sent to survey the mill
tary bounty lands, in the Michigan TERRITORY have
returned without executing any part of the work
tor which they were sent out. The cause of their
premature return was occasioned by the Indians
iorbidolng the surveying any lands in that terri
tory, lnasmuch as they in effect deny the treaty
or sale of any lands therein. The Indians who
have been arrayed against us, during the late con-
test with Great Britain, consider themselves as
much at war now as they have during anv part
OF the contest When they were called together
by VIM. Woodbridge, esq. Secretary and acting
governor of the Michigan territory to inform
them that the United States was about to cause
the boundary line to be run agreeably to treaty,
they desired HIM, if he could to point out any
chief or chiefs who signed that treaty, or had con-
sented TO the sale of that tract of country to take
them and make them go with the surveyors, If
they DARE, and shew the line but that he (NIr.
Woodbrldge) might then take them and send
them OFT, for those chefs should never come to
reside with them thereafter. 1t appears from
the Indian agents or interpreters, and others who
were at that treaty, that the principal Chiefs nte-
rested IN that country, nerer did sign the treaty
and that the more inferior chiefs who did sign it,
dare not acknowledge it at this day.
Part of the business which those surveyors
were directed to do, was to run the road from the
loot THE Rap DIS OF the Miami, to the western
COuiOaiy Oh lDe connecticut Reserve, and to lay
out the land on each side of the same into sect.
ons, agTeeably to the treaty of Brownstown, and
the act of congress for that purpose But as the
surveyors were instructed to pursue the line as
run blythe commissioners in the year 1912, and
that lire running different from the expectations
OF The Indians at the time they granted the road
and lands adjacent, they forbid the laying out on,
surveying the lands on dat line alleging that s
is not run agree bly, to treaty, and that L 5uns
through Their territory in such course as to cut M
their country, and incommodes Their settlements
in9ch 70 Their prejudice, and therefore Will not
su'Ier ~; But i IS run agreeabIy to the un-
1ers'anding of the treaty, at the time they gave
the land (tor itwas a .sifi and a6ta sale they
were perfectly wiling TO permit the lands to be
surveyed, The Indians say that Lower sand,lsky.
was to have been made point, and that the orr
shiah intention was to connect together the DIFF
ierent tracts ofland then belonging to the United
states, to make aroad and form settlement for
me mutual convenience of the Indians and
whites. The line as run by commissioners in
1872, passes the SanduslSy river several miles
above Lower Sandusky, and would leave frac.
ton OF land between thereserve at Lower Sarclns
ky, and the lands which would adion the road.
which appears 10 be principal objection, with
the Indians.
