II is probable (says the National Intel
ligencer) that, before Mr.. Onis reaches
Madrid, our Treaty with Spain will be
ratified. We say it is probable, because
there is possibility that il may not, par
ticularly when we recollect how long the
Convention, ratified last autumn, and
which will now be merged 10 this more
comprehensive Treaty, was held in sus-
pense by the Spanish government. We
should not, however, have seriously en-
tertained an idea of the possibility OF its
not being ratified, if our attention had not
been caught by the following paragraph.
which, considering the source whence it
comes, (from the pen Of member Of the
Senate Of the United States) is entitled to
more respect than is ordinarily paid to
newspaper -specuIations. We certainly
hope the Treaty will be ratified; though,
should it not, there are some very respect
able citizens who would be gratified at the
failure. From certain essays We have
seen in the Western papers, there are not
few in that section of the country, who
think our boundaries are not sufficiently
extended towards Mexico. Our views
are not quite so expanded. We are con-
tent with the secure possession of what We
have, and withall, consider our present
limits comprehensive enough for happi-
ness. A wider range would but enlarge
the field for speculation, which, God
knows, is already ample enough.

for the relief of Cumana.

TO succeed Mr.. O'Meara, and before he
had made any visit 10 Bonaparte, he made
it the sine qna non of his accepting the
situation, with Sir Hudson Lowe, that he
should not be required TO detail any fa-
miliar conversations into which he might
be drawn, or any circumstances which he
might overhear at Longwood; but pledg
ing himself, as British officer, that il
any thing should come to his knowledge
in which his allegiance to his kiag aud
country would be compromised by his Sc

After few hours he appeared free from
the attack, but it had left considerable

official reports OF the circumstances to
Sir Hudson Lowe and the Admiral, and
gave copies of them TO Bonaparte.

The assassin of M. de Ko;zebue died
yesterday, without having made any con-
iession, constantly persisting that he had
40 accomplices. There were found upon
him many papers filled with reflections
Oh the country. humanity and liberty in
these he styles his victim the slave OF
kings, and Russian spy: he said, that
all the partizans of NJ. de Kotzebue ought
to perish in similar way.
Very inaccurate details have been cir
cuiated relative to the circumstances OF the
assassination. He presented himself about
O'Clock at the residence Of NJ. de Kot-
zebue, and some ladies coming up to the
door at which he had just knocked, he
let them enter before him: they were on
visit to nj. de KotZebue Sand remained
in the hall, and requested the servant 10
announce him to the Councillor of State.
The servant returned and showed him
into room, where M. de Kotzebue short
| Iy joined him. 1t does not appear true
that he proposed duel to nj. de kotze-
bue, or that he read his sentence of death.
written on large sheet of paper. He
must have struck his victim at the very
instant that he approached towards him !;
for scarcely had M. de Kotzebue entered
the room, when the servant heard loud
shrek, and noise of something which
| fell; he entered, and saw his master and
the student stretched on the floor.
| II appears that the assassin, on M. de
Kotzebue's entering, had Immediately
stabbed him with poniard, which pene-
trated his heart it appears also, that hsy-
ing been dragged to the floor by nj. de
Kotzebue, he stabbed him second time
through the lungs; wound was likewise
received in his face. The ladies ran TO
the room, opened the windows, and 10
loud and piercing accents called for help
and surgeon. Miss Emily kotZebue,
with the assistance of the servants, bore
the body Of her father TO an adjoining
apartment, where he expired few min
utes afterwards. The assassin rose up
with composed air, and flourishing the
bloody poniard, he descended the door
steps. excIaiming-"I The traitor as dead!
the cou,stry is SnDed! long lire Germanyr
Observing that crowd had assembled 10

A CHECK TO INTEMpERANCE.

Communicated for the Boston Recorder.
The Selectmen of Bedford, Mass iu-
flueuced by firm determination faith
fully to discharge their duty as guardi-
ans OF the interests OF the town, have, in
obedience to the laws, posted up at the
public houses in this town, a list Of names
OF persons VIGOROUSLY addicted to intem-
lperate drinking of ardent spirits; and
have forbidden the sale Of ardent spirits, to
such persons, on pain Of incurring the
penalties incurred 10 the laws.
simultaneously with this act Of the
Selectmen, the following communication,
signed by a considerable number Of re-
spectacle inhabitants, was handed to the
moderator of the last meeting, with re-
quest that he would read it TO the inhab.
itants, and call for vote on the question
of recommending it 10 be adopted as
rule of conduct for the future which he
very cordially did, at an early stage OF
the meeting and to the great joy OF So
Der, rejecting people, it passed without
dissenting vote.
Fellow citizens-The undersigned
subscribers, Inhabitants of this town, beg
leave TO solicit your attention to subject
which they believe to be. Of vital import
nee to the best interests of the whole COM
munity. 1t is to dispense with the prac-
tice of a gratuitous distribution OF ardent
spirits on public occasions. A practice
in our opinion, in direct violation OF Chris
tian duty, and fraught with the most per-
nicious consequences to the moral good OF
mankind.
Therefore, in view of the foregoing
premises, we respectfully ask leave to re-
commend the following articles for your
adoption-viz.
j. That we consider the practice OF
distributing ardent spirits and wine, at Id.
nerals, among monrDers, bearers sno
others, as inconsistent with the solemnlty
of the occasion, and TO be discontinued;
and we will do all in our power to en-
courage discontinuance OF IT.
2. 1t is recommended to all persons,
who may at any time, be elected to civh
or military offices, to refrain from treating
with ardent spirits on account oi sucn
appointment. A..
3. And it is also recommended to the
military officers now in commission to a.
bandon the practice of treating the COM
pany with ardent spirits at trainings mus
ters, or on any other occasion, when 'ne
company is called out under their conl-
mand."
