has not been taken without some cause
and it will not be amiss for our Gov

peat it, that the refusal of the Spanish
King to ratify The Florida treaty, was
chiefly owing to British influence.
The Amsterdam merchants have rails
ed S million of guilders to open a canal

We have seen letters from Madrid
(says Relfs Philadelphia Gazette which
state that our minister, Mr.. FoRsYrRE,
in his communications with that court on
the subject Of the Florida Treaty, had as.
sumed an attitude of the most vigorous
character 1t is probable, that his dis

the PRESIDENT has full power to make
every arrangement to meet any future

grow out of the rejection of the Treaty,
