Of d,. embanasshncnts OF tbe: Spanish
government, has gone the rounds Of the
Spanish papers (which arc NOW free even
to icentiousness) with comments, id ev-
cry instance. highly honorable std the
Inagnanirnity Of Mr.. Monroe, WHOM the
Spaniards, in the fullness Of their JOY,
declare fsays our correspondent (" has a
soul, and though herefic. may get to
Heaven !''--Nevertheless, we are given
TO understand that in the midst of their
acknowledgements Of his forbearaErc in
this instance, they do not forget TO as
cribe it in some degree to the extr.ordi-
nary and pressing interference Of his I'm
perial Majesty the Emperor of Russia;
and in truth facts seem to justly this
conclusion.--Not.s satisfied with yecom-
mending TO our government through Its
Minister at bis own court TO exercise
forbearance and moderation towards
Spain, and preaching with puritanicaI
simplicity the cause of "peace and con-
cord" but for fear his friendly admonit-
ions might be forgot, he orders the same
sermon 10 be preached in duplicate by
his Minister at Washington, and after
wards in triplicate to the American Min
lister at Madrid. This is acknowledged
to be a most. 1ighteous act Of friendship
ON the part ofthe Emperor, but the ofiic-
ious repetitions of it..look like being
friendly over much, and as if there was a
lurking disposition underneath to do
something more than recommend, if his
aapice was NOT taken.
Warrants;-we learn. have been issued

PENSIONERS.

We think proper to state, (says the
National lntelhgencer, tor the Informal
tion OF persons who receive military pen
sions from the United States, that no
Act has yet passed Congress, appropriat-
ing funds for the pay ment OF those pen
siors ON the 4,h oi March next, and the
probability is. that the appropriation will
40. be maoe in time to meet the scmi-
annual payments OIL that day. 1t is,
therefore, advisable, that those concern.
ed should delay their applications, until
notice shall be given Of the appropriation
having been made.
