Spain.--W We have it from such authority
as satisfies us of the fact, that the Hing OF
Spain has ratified the treaty with the II.
States for the cession Of the Floridas we
are also satisfied that the ratified treaty is
DOW 10 the United States, aud will be
submitted 10 Congress, Immediately on its
assembling next month.
The manifesto, The tyrsnnic and warlike
manifesto Of The Emperor Alexander on
Spanish affairs which we lately published,
has been explained TO the satisfaction OF
the Spanish King and Cortez. The Em.
peror is understood to have declared, 10
his explanatory state paper, that bis first
manifesto was predicated on the belief that
the Army had usurped the authority Of
the kingdom, and dictated 10 the people
by force OF arms the present established
form OF government; hut that subsequent
advices having conveyed more correct
statement, and his imperial majesty being
satisfied that the change in the government
has been the act, not Of the army, but of
the nation, he is now entirely recohciled
to the change, and hopes tile constituted
authorities and the Spanish people may
enjoy prosperity and happiness under The
newly established order OF things. These
explanations and congratulations have
been received in the Indst friendly spirit,
and The best relations of frieDdliness are
between the two governments.
