LATE FROM SPAIN.

The u. S. sloop Of war Hornet, Capt.
Reid, arrived at New Y ork, on Tncs.
day last, in 20 days from Gibraltar, with
dispatches from Mr.. Forsyth, our Minis

The Philadelphia Gazette of Wednes-
day mentions that Capt. Reid passed
through Philadelphia GU that day, with
dispatches for government and that al
gentleman who had conversed with him
says, that at the time Capt. r. left
Madrid, the Treaty remained unratijied,
and it was confidently believed that il
neUer mould be ratified. The Gazette
also publishes the following letter, receiv-
ed by the Hornet, from a gentleman 10
Madrid to his friend in Philadelphia -
MADRID, Oct. 10.
The Treaty is not ratified nor will ii
be. A minister extraordinary viii be
sent, but not to arrive. until late in the
winter, toward the close of the session of
Congress. This instrument has been used
for party purposes, and the national inte-
rests, safety aud welfare, totally lost
lsight of.
Don Onis lives 10 retirement, neither
lin favor or disgrace, but quietly 10 his
own house, which is fortunate for him as
things are-the present minister Of state is
Duke San FerDando--the chief opponent
of the treaty is Lozana de Torre.-It is
generally believed that the minister Of a
foreign power has not been idle"

number buried, during the most fatal 60
days of 1917, is stated at 400.--Com. Id.
Important, If true.-A report, which,
however, requires confirmation, is pub
lisbed 10 the Milledgeville (Georgia) Re
publican of the 9th inst. that Gen.

neut of 5000 men from that state, and
5000 from South G arolina, TO proceed to

A letter from a gentleman in Rock.
/ ingham county, n. G. to the Editors o
the National Inteliigencer, dated the I It'll
inst. says: Mr.. Calhoun has been lyin:
here dangerously i'll of bilious fever
which has sunk down TO typhus type. His
disease, which has ragged with extraordi-
nary violence, has been borne without q
murmur, and is now thought by his ply
sicians to be happily subsiding. He is
however so very low, as TO be by no
means out Of danger. His family are
fortunately with him."
