This farm consists of about thirty-fve a

since in state of nature, and very rough

duce, during the year 1918, was as fol-

Corn 400 bushels.

Three tons Of squashes.
Fifty tons pumpkins.
All the common summer vegetables for
the Alms-bouse.

to its size, and it is a proof what well-di-

The time is at length happily come when
we may congratulate the public upon the
complete termination of the Candyan re-
hellion. For some weeks past we have OBJ
served with much pleasure the general fall
ure OF the rebel leaders, in all their at
temp,s, and with still greater satisfaction
the manifest alteration that was beginning
to show itself in the disposition of the peo-
pie I; vet we could not venture, while the
!; rebel chiefs were at liberty, to decide upon
those unfortunate disturbances being at an
end. We were too well aware of the o.
verbearjng influence of the Kandyan chiefs,
and the habitual subserviency OF the Kan
dyan people. not 10 doubt the pemanence
of restored tranquility, while those power
full agi,ators OF disaffection were at large
but every doubt on this subje is now at an
, end. ALI the rebel leaders of the first con-
sequence are in our possession, not receI-
we'd by voluntary surrender, upon the faith
of conditions, either expressed or implied,
; but prisoners fairly taken by the indefati'
gable exertions of our brave troops, who
have undergone succession of hardships,
labor and privation, with such cheerfulnes'
and a!acrity as must always be remember
! ed 10 their honor.

port from Kornegalle Of the capture OF Ca

been some time in the press and the great

received from Lieut. Col. Hook full CON
6rmalion ofthe important event, which wal

THE SPANISH TREATY.

TIE SPANISH
Our readers will have seen. by the tune
they read this, that. by the latest and most
authentic accounts. the Treaty with Spain
had not been ratified on the ED OF June.
We are no, among those who attach great
importance TO this negative inform alton.
StilIle do we believe, that Spain intends
or desires to provoke rupture with this
country There is no motive which could
influence her TO do so. That she has seen
with modification, privateers swarming
from our ports and preying on her de-
fenceless commerce, there can DE little
doubt; but she has also seen that the 60
verameut of the U. States, sensible OF the
enorrnty of such unlicensed robbery, has
used its exertions TO put stop to 1t, and
is therefore guillless of having encouraged
such practices. She has seen, too, that
the people Of this country, had the govern
meut displayed the same inclination, have
been we'll enough disposed TO have wrest-
ed the Floridas from Spain, by weapon
very different from negotiation, and to
have taken ample indemnity in Mexico, as
well as Florida, tor Spanish spoiiations on
our commerce. But the alternative OF war
with Spain has been cautiously and sedu'
lously avoided; & treaty has been franz
ed, in conformity 70 her minister's lnstrue-
tions, quite as favorable to Spain as she
could have expected. That treaty, under
such circumstances, it is scarcely possible
she will not raiify.
If, after this view Of the subject, people
will anticipate an ultimate refusal TO ratity
the treaty, let the fact OF the promotion OF
Don Lusis de Oais speak for itself. II is not
to be supposed that the king of Spain would
elevate, to the highest Office and honors in
his gift, man who had just returned from
foreign mission, which had resulted in a
treaty So odious, that the sovereign intend
ed to reject it.
That few courters about the person OF
the king, interested in large grants OF land
in Florida, of date too late TO be recog-
nized by the treaty, will exert themselves
TO defeat its ratification, isquite probable.
We trust they will utterly fail: we hope
ii, as we deprecate war, which, we believe,
would sooner or later, be the inevitable
consequence of breach OF faith IN this in
stance on the part of Spain.
The time limited by the treaty, within
which, on ratification, it shall peremptorl-
ly bind both parties, is currently reported
to be six months; which term will expire
about the 24th OF this month. 1t not ratin- |
ed before that day, the government OF The
United States, on its part, ceases 10 be
bound by il.
Ii is proper to state, that the private let
ters received in this city from Madril give
NO reason to suppose that the treaty will
Rot be duly ratified.
