FROM our CORRESPONDENT AT WASHINGTON
Saturday, Fsbruary27 81.
Nothing passed worthy Of notice in the
house of representatives, this day, with the
exception of message from the president,
transmitting the Spanish treaty of amity and
cession of the Floridas, and recommending
that as the treaty would in all probability
be ratified by the King Of Spain during the
recess, congress should make the proper le-
gislative proceedings to meet the occasion,
before they adjourned. The message was
accordingly referred to the committee on
foreign affairs, who, before the house rose,
reported bill authorising the president to
take possession of the Floridas, and TO es-
tablish temporary government therein,
which bill was read twice and referred to
committee of the whole on the slate of the
union,
Washington March I
1t is announced in the account OF Satur-
days proceedings 10 the house OF rerresen-
tativcs, that the president has officially
communicated TO congress the Treaty 18th
Spain, which has been solemnly ratified on
our part and will no doubt be promptly ra-
tilted by the government of Spain. With
view TO this event, a bill has been intro
duced, and will probably become a law,
for authorizing The executive. in that con-
tingency, to receive the territory from the
hands of the Spanish authorities, and es-
tablish provisional government therein.
The Treaty was read in the House Of
Representatives with open doors. but is not
to be published IN ertenso, the usage in such
cases requiring il should not be promu'ga-
ted until formally -atiied-we have little
dou' t,bowever, that Copy of it will short
ly find its way to the Press. Meanwhile,
il is sufficient to state, that the summary we
gave of its contents appears to have been
pretty correct, with the following addition
All grants made by Spain, in the coded
territory, anterior to the lst day of Janua-
ry, 1918, are to be respected.
The Islands adjacent TO Florida are &C.

Ii is stipulated that the territory shall, ha-
wing the necessary requisites, be admitted

she mast miserable Understanding could
coniound these plain distinctions /
But perhaps the Aurora may boldly
assert that the value of money is invari-
able; but he cannot escape by this sub
ieriuge. The fact is against him. Bull
lion, coin, paper money, all vary in their
value.
Bufiioa- Adam Smith shows how "the
discovery OF the abundant mines of Ame-
RIGA reduced, in the 10th century, The va
lue 81 gold aud silver in Europe 10 about
third of what il had been before" He
shows us, that" though the world i'll ge-
neral were iniproving, yet if IN the course
OF IT'S improvement. new mines should be
discovered, much more fertile than any
Which had been known before, though The
demand for SILVER would necessarily in
crease, yet the supply might increase in
so much greater proportion that the
real price OF that metal might gradually
tai! Thai Is. amy given quantity, pound
weight OF II, Tor example, might gradu-
ally purchase or command "a smaller and
smaller quantity of labor, or exchange
for smaller and a smaller quantity of
cora, lie principal part of The subsistence
Of the laborer. "-Suchw tire case in the
10Th century.-He shows, so far from
silver or gold being invariabIe in their
value, that corn varies much less from
century to century than they do; and is
therefore a more accurate standard of va
lue tlian they are.
Coia.-li bullion varies in its value, so
must the coins which are made If il. The
price OF bullion varies with the supply and
demand: that OF coin or stamped bullion,
kiusf tiuctuate upon the same principle.
Paper morey-is still more fuct,ialing :;
It's value may be SO deprecated by its re-
dundance as TO be worth scarcely any
thing Witness the continental money of
America, and the assigna,s OF France.
The Aurora then uiiers nothing but
the grossesf absurdity; but il is of piece
with It's other attempts in political econo
my. They are the ridiculous exhibitions
OF a selt-conceiied, impudent preiender,
who writes on every thing Wheihrrhe un-
dersiands il or not.
Tie proposition is sill true, that the
value Of the precious metals, whether
in coin or bullion, depends on the pro-
portion between the supply and the de-
mand. tits true ofcvery commodity which
they serve 10 circulate and il is equally
true OF the medium of circulation ITSELF
II you could increase the demand for
them without increasing The supply, you
raise thor value II you could increase
the supply, while the demand remains the
same. you reduce their value if you in
crease both the supply and the demand
you raise or reduce their value according
as the increasing supply is less OF greater
than the increasing demand.
There Is however one respectable writer,
who olsscn,s from the principle '.ere laid
down and that writer has been hitherto
consi ofthe first authority on such
subjects. | mean The Edinburg Review.
