SPATN-The last advices from Spain were TO
the 25th of August by m arrival at Philadelphia
from Cadiz: At that date news had been re-
ceiyed there of the ratification of the treaty. Ca
diz IS abont goo miles from Madrid, and the trav.
slling is by no means expeditions in that country
90 that the treaty might have been signed on the
26th--the day which the time limited for that
purpose expired--or the 25th. and not be
known at that place when the vessel sailed.
Numerous letters have been received by this ar
rival, full Of conjectures and speculations upon
this subject most of the writers Of them are Of
opinion that the treaty will not be ratified within
the appointed tine they are therefore raising
I'D phantoms of war, which to our apprehension
are about AS formidable as Falstaf's 'men in
buckramr--We still believe that no war will
grow out Of this negotiation that if the treaty
should not be ratified at the expiration Of the
limited day some measures will be taken By the
Court Of Madrid TO adjust the difficulty with the
u. States and that all the important results an
tcipated by the negotiation, such as the cession
OF the Floridss and the reimbursement of
merchants, will be realized IL is well known
how dilatory the Spanish government always
have been in their diplomatic concerns, ever
since the days OF Charles v. and how averse they
now are and have reason to be, to 60 . war with
this country II is reported that officer of high
standing at Washington, has observed, that if the
present treaty is rejected, the only consequence
will be, that we shall get better one.

.4gric,llture.-The anniversaries ofsocieties for
the promotion of agriculture are taking place in
all parts of our country. These associations have
very much increased within few years, and ii
is source Of much qualification with those who
reflect upon the subject, to observe the altera-
ton which is continually going on in the superior
cultivation of the land and in the Improvement
of agricultural supplements. To raise the great
est quantity Of nourishins food, whether for cat
tie OF for men, on given space, with the least
labour, is the desired object with the farmer.
To effect this object experiments must be made !;
to encourage experiments, you must excite smu-
Istien and this is done by the honour and the
premiums which Agricultural Societies bestow.

late the professor oflanguages in Dartmouth Uni
versity, has undertaken the editorial department
ofthe Albany Register, Clintonian paper. The
editor thu. announces his political opinions "The
patrons Of the Register will of course expect dis
closure of the editors political sentiments. He
has from his earliest years, and in the worst OF
times, been decided Republican and such he
will remain. His political principles were bor-
rowed from the revolutionary fathers--to these he
will adhere with frmnsss asnd constancy"
$ With regard to the politics of N. Y. it may be
proper to remark, that 20 long as the measures of
the present administration of the state shall be
di ctatsd by the same wisdom and liberal views
which have hitherto characterized its policy, it
will hnd cordial support in the columns of the
Register, The editor is man of talents and
literary taste, and possessed OF liberal feelings.
We wish to see the time when political questions
shall be discussed with liberality and candour
without personal allusion or without rssorting to
the low arts ofcalumny and detraction. We will
hail that day as the EZRA ofgood feeling"

AN ADIEU TO MY MUSE.
Olyre of love! farewell'
No more thy magic string
Will sound along the dell,
Or tempt the bard to sing;
No more thy coquet smiles I'll WOO
Muse of my youth, last adieu! D.
Thou'rt won't to frown and smile,
o idle wandering muse,
Sometimes will rest awhile,
And scatter gifts profuse
But when the minstrels lays would rove,
Thy inspiration rests above.
Sometimes when damsels claim
The minstrers datt'ring reed,
The poet woos in vain
To wake thy sluggish need,
And wrapt in meGitative mood,
Would court the muse in solitude.
When friendship claims thy aid.
To tune affections Tyre,
In praise of Annals braid,
Or from "leaf' inspire,
The bard will sometimes Gull the strain,
When, muse, he wood thee not in vain.
IT'S then the critics sheer,
IT'S then that SANDERS tongue,
Will every merit scar,
And plagiarize the song. muse
The wandering swain that courts thee
Knows well thy smiles deceit infuse.
Then, Tyre of love! farewell
No more thy magic string
Shall MARBLE through the dell,
Or tempt the bard to sing
Catch the last sigh I'll give to you,
Muse of my youth a last adieu!
