As perfect uniformity 10 the cutting and
making the cloths will add much to the aP.
pearance Of the students, Captain T. would
be glad to have this work all executed tthe
Academy. where excellent workmen will be

1t is circumstance, certainly, which
ought to give much satisfaction, that q peri.
cd has arrived, for the second time under this
government, when an individual has so ad.
mnislered the duties of the Office of Presi.
de mt for one term, and po-sessss so entirely
the confidence Of the whole nation, as that
no opposition is even thought Of to his re-
election.--lt is an incident suspicious to the

domestic policy; honorable 20 the character

There are, we understand, good grounds
for believing, that the Russian Court has di-
rectly acknowledged the constitutional sys.
tenn re established in Spain, and congratu-
lated the Spanish monarch on the harmony
subsisting between him and his new minis
ters and advisers. II is also said, upon in
formation which we think worthy of credit,
that the new administration in Spain are de-
cidedly in favor Of the ratification Of the Flo
rds Treaty, and had resolved to exer, to
that end their Influence with the Cortes.
We have heard Of very smicable cores
pondence between the Spanish Secretary of
State and Mr.. Forsyth, in which the latter
makes full amends by the glowing kinJpess
of his tone for the asperity Of his former ad-
dress. We rejoice in every act Of conciia.
ton and kindly communion between the two
governments, because we believe the ar
rangements Of The treaty are the best that
could be made under all circumstances, and,
that the final confirmation Of them will be
for their mutual advantage. The rights of
his country cannot be relipquisbcd out Of de-
ference to the noble career in which the
Spanish Liberals are engaged; but in assSrt-
ing them, we owe every testimonial Of Goa
sideration and sympathy compatible with
the main object, - National Gas.
