TREATY WITH SPAIN.
We perceive that it is generally consi-
dered as unquestionable that The govern
ment of Spain will promptly ratiiy the trea-
ty concluded by its minister here yet, We
acknowledge this point appears to US very
doubtful. ] hat government has not evln.
ced much disposition to do us justice, nor
great anxiety to secure our good will. The
Convention formed at Madrid in 1902, was
not ratified by that court until 1918. As
substantial reasons may be assigned for re-
fu>ng or neglectng to ralify the treaty, as
the convention; and il her statesmen are at
any loss tor arguments to justify such refu-
sal or neglect, they may possibly derive
assistance from the speeches, reports, and
publications OF some OF ours. That govern
ment may also disavow the authority of
Don Onis to form the treaty, as the British
government once did the authority OF Ers-
kline to make the arrangement by which the
embargo was raised, and the mouths Of
starving millions filed in England. The
Don himself has gone home, and whether
to advise the ratification or rejection OF the
treaty, IS subject of conjecture. The
British government, too, if we may judge
from the tenor and temper of their papers,
or indulge an opinion as to the extent of
their apprehemions for the safety Of their
colonies and commerce should Florida pass
into cur hands, or the heigh; o. their jea-
lousy oftie increasing wealth, strength and
consequence OF the United Staies-the
British government, we say, may not yie d
their assent TO the cession Of the / loridas
to us, unless Cuba is surrendered 10 them.
This opainjustly deems the brightest jew
ell in her crown, and will part with only in
the last extremity. Yet Spain would great
" dread rupture with Britain, whose III
terest already prompts her to the aid Of The
patriots, and whose arms c'uld, in one
campaign, eject their independence, and
Alexandria gazette & daily advertiser. [volume] (Alexandria [Va.]) 1817-1822, 1819-05-18

copper plate engraving of the Declaration

OF those illustrious patriots who framed the
document by which our independence was

we dwell on those signatures, as il we were

characters SO exalted, aud we seem for a
time 10 participate in all the emotion which
they felt on the approach OF so awful criI
sis-ltostile armies. desolate fields, towns

subscriber proposes. if suitable encourage
ment is giyen, TO publish the lives of those

ple.ed. The work will he executed in a
style not inferior 10 any European produce
tons, and the portraits by masters of ac-
knowledged merit. The biography will
be written by Paul Aien esq. whose init
macy with the several signers, whose fami-
liarity with the priyations and hardsbips
they had TO undergo, and whose well known
talents will be sufficient to ensure the pa
tronage OF an enlightened people. I'm The
execution of this work, all that the pull
Usher danes 10 promise is, that he will en-
deavOr to deserve the confidence of his
; countrymeh, and that no exertion on his
part will be wanting to prevent an abuse
OF that confidence. He ventures to solicit
the assistance Of those gentlemen in pos
session OF authentic facts and anecdotes, by
, communicating the intelligence thai viii
serve to illustrate the characters and to en-
rich the biography OF those founders Oh the
