Entract Of a letter to the editor fthe Norfolk
Herald, dated Gibraltar, Sept. 9.
"Although the treaty is not ratified, it does
not appear that it is absolutely rejected, but
that the matter is referred once more to
Washing tou, and it will remain with our 60
yernment to decide what measures they may
please to adopt Meanwhile Mr.. Forsyth has
| taken house at Madrid, more suitable TO his
rank, AID having more the appearance Of his
intention to be permanent resident, which
looks somewhat as if he thought that the wish
es of Spain were not insuperable. But what
is that at the last day Of grace is required by
Spain, and which could not have been as
plainly discerned On the first reading OF the
treaty, and suggested at that moment so as to
have ct the appreciation of the Spanish CO.
vernmsnt by th,s time, we must wait patiently
TO hear FROM your side of the water.
Whether there is any sincerity in all this
diplomacy on the part Of Spain, or whether
it is not rather Of piece OF that system of
bic in all her political relations, and especial
ly with the United States, time alone will de-
termine. 1t appears SO odd that any reason
able objections to the treaty which the Anne
rSan minister could have felt himself autho.
rised to listen to, were not made at an earlier
period, that the latter suggestion taken in
connection with the general diatory and e.
advocating policy of Spain is the best recei-
we'd opiRion in this country. And how far
the prurient disposition of England may have
operated to produce this measure as one az
fording chance that something may turn up
10 prevent the ultimate ratification Of the
treaty, (Which she would, if she could, openly
prevent( we are also left TO conjecture.
"O'Donnell who was to have commanded
the expedition from Cadiz, and who only
month ago was invested with new honors for
his loyalty in suppt ssing the conspiracy a
mongst the troops, has been found to be so
much implicated in that transaction, that he
is banished to Pampeluna. SARsFIELD, Sc
c0nd in command, is also in disgrace.
"They write from Madrid, that Portugal
has agreed by treaty to give Monte Video to
Spain for 28, ooo, 900 rials q 400 900 dollars).
Where the money is to come from nobody
knows.
"Orders for fruit are extremely limited
this year at Malaga, though the price i. 90
per cent less than last season. Very few
vessels have appeared-only one from the
southwark Baltimore.

There are immense crops 10 be bought by
somebody as they come to market, say at
least $4,000 bales more cotton than were
made in this state in any one year before,
and full as great crop in Georgia. o. corn,
&c. the crop is so great, that am informed
that it is offered for 25 cents per bushel in
our upper country, and many planters have
raised as much as they can consume in three
years"
