For the Federal Republican and Baltimore
Telegraph.
Extract of letter from England received
by the Ann Maria, arrived at New York,
25th inst. dated
Sheffield, I0h July, 1919.
From other quarters, as well as from
yeu we hear of the dislresses IN America,
but in old England se feel great distresses.
The whole commercial body seems to be
dslocated. In the ighborhood of Man
chester, the people are inclined to be RIO
tous. Indeed they are almost tamished-
and the manufacturers nearl y ruined In
Sheffield and its neighhorhood i, is said
they are better than in any other manuiac-
turing district, and yet, there the people
an general are distrest multtuhes are I'M
employed, and those who are employed
can scarce earn enough to support their
families
Ii is no alienation to suffering to see
others in equal distress, yet from the "a
bove extract we ought to learn to value the
| blessings we do enjoy, We cannot say that
our population is = furnishing for want of
Bread" and we have the greatest national
blessing, independence, and peace al
home we have also an inexhaustible field
for industry in the uncullivated but rich
and luxurious wilds oil the western States !;
which. when commerce declines, and me-
chanics overstock our cities, will furnish
every man from their fertile soil, with The
accessories Of life, and he who learns to be
content with them, escapes the mIserles at
, tendant on the supposed pleasures OF the
luuuries ofiife. A desire TO retain the lat
ter a, any rute, is one OF the greatest evils
oflhe present day, and by causing need
less expenditure, too frequently brings the
unhappy victim of this syren to de'pera-
ton, bankruptcy and total ruin: and
principally to this can be traced the pre-
sent effects of speculation in the banking
! and commercial departments. The work
of reformation must prevail before ithe re-
turn of better times; let US then begin
lei every citizen reform one, and we shall
soor become virtuous and happy which
is the wish Of a REF ORhER.

MAT Int.
LATE DELIBERATIONS OF THE CABINET.
A variety of conjectures are now aAoat.
as TO the tenor of the late dispatches tram.
mitted by our Government, in answer to
the receipt of our Minister'S recent commu-
nication from Madrid. We understand,
however. that no difficulties occurre in
the deliberations of the Cabinet as to the
course which remained to be pursued /: that
il was the opinion of the executive not to
sanction any evasion or fraud that m be
attempted to be imposed under The provl-
sions of this Treaty by certain grantees,
who clandestinely oppose strong impede
ments to its ratification and who, it is said,
have not scrupled to employ the most frau
dulent means within their power, by the
fabrication OF dates, and instruments to get
their claims embraced within the period
limited. This piece of chicanery, it is un.
derstood, to be the determine ton ofgovern-
ment to resist that positive instructions on
this head have been transmitted to our
Minister at Madrid and though the whole
amount of these claims is reported moi to
exceed 600, 200 dolls. and which might be
bought up for a much less sum-a mere
fraction, nationally speaking yet such is
the straightforward policy of our executive,
and the integrity of ITS intentions. that even
this paltry sum will not be grained to brlbe
the interests or good will of the courtlers or
favorites OF Ferdinand.
That this is not a Macbiavalian course is
obvious, when serious impediments could
be SO easily removed by the application OF
a little money; but then it COMFORTS more
with the dignity and interest of nation,
that disdains TO stoop to the practice OF po-
litical quackery by administering pecunla-
ry qualification, at the expense of integrity
and fair dealing. By the spirit of the trea-
ty, and its faithful execution on our part,
we are willing to stand or fall We now
despair OF its ratification within the time
limited by its provisions and the fulilment
oil this condition is indispensable to make
it binding on both parties.
We think it highly probable that the re-
cent instructions of our executive, do not
essentially differ from what has been here
tofore transmitted, and il is not improbable
that Spain may propose some new arrange
ment in order to get rid o, the importuni-
ties OF her disappointed grantees; but " hat
the fate of such proposition may be, un-
der the present disturbed state OF the nego-
tiation is impossible to toretell.

OF THE SPANISH TREATY.
We are indebted to gentleman of this
town for the following interesting extract
of a letter from his correspondent at Glib
raltar, dated
Gibraltar, July s, 1919
"The return 1T the Hornet 20 the United
States, zgitiout the Treaty, after so long a
stay, will, no doubt, set you all on ctlcu-
latons about war or peace. lwi,h it was
in my power to set you right on either side
OF the question. But the political conduct
of Spain Is so variable and equivocaI, that
any certain conclusions are not to be made
from her acts. Ii is very manifest that she
does no; mean TO ratify the treaty until the
expiration of the time allowed her, (26th
Aug. and il were to be wished that any
certainty existed that it would be ratified
al that time.
II is not believed, by the best informed,
that Mr Forsyth thinks the treaty will be
ratified. Commodore Stewart aud the hon.
Jonathan Russell, who know are in cor
respontence with him (and who are both
here now) express that opinion, and have
good reason for believing that Mr.. ForsJ tn
has written the commodore to put himself
in the lpost imposing attitude with his
squadron to appear off Cadlz, or to enter
the Aa.bor pending the present negocIa-
tons. and that he will sail " ith all has torCe
for that quarter in a few days for that OBJ
jeCt.
1T is still said that the Punishment ofthe
Marquis Yrujo Ito miserable village in
OLD Castliel was on account of his pen
chant for the trea,y-li this be true, consl-
deripg the delay hat has taken place In
the ratification OF the treaty, and the OPT
Mon of the United States, as tar as we can
ascertain it, there can be no doubt OF the
determination of Spain to reject that tlea-
, ~, il she can find any countenance IN II,
OF any support in the consequence II VIII
bring Upon heI.
you may be as well able as we are to
guess at the part England is playing IN
this business.
THE grand expedition at Saoiz has
lately made great progress, but it seems
that the troops positi, els refuse to embark.
Something oil an important nature may
come to light soon, and things assume
new character.

Fifty-two clotniers have, during the last

and wretchedness, for OF their SO employ

chief who has been 50 long formidable 10
the independence of Buenos Ayres. The
Spanish Government, il appears, has not
lost sight of the obvious means arising
from the discord previously existing a.

Florez, their Ambassador al Rio Janeiro,
had received instructions to gain Artgas ii
possible over 10 the royal cause letter
TO that chief was, therefore, drawn up,
containing the most tempting offers, and

exploit Of delivering it. He succeeded,

said to exist in those places. The power
of enforcing quarantine laws rests with the

BOARD OF HEALTH.
The cases OF fever at the remote part OF
Fell, Point, adverted to in our last report,
we are sorry TO say, have considerably IN
creased in number, and are very iecisise'y
characterized with the symptoms of yellow
fever. They amount in number to about
fifty cases.
They are still confined within very mar
row limits, and are chiefly traced 10 the
same source, but exhibit indications OF
slowly extending. The deaths have hi
tberto been very few ; butm most of the cases
have occurred within tew dsys--their re-
suits are not yet ascertalned, but are estl-
mated at the proportion of one fifth.
The Board are disposed to hope the dis
ease may not spread, but have thought it
their duty 10 give this early notice Of its
unfavorable aspect, and earnestly 10 ad-
wise the citizens of that district TO move a.
way as speedy as possible.
