JOHN FORSYTH.

Translation Of letter of Don Juan Jabat, Act
ing Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, at
Madrid, to the Minister Plepipotentiary Of
the United States.
SIR: / have the satisfaction to COM
municate to you for the information Of
your government, that the King of the
SPANS, DESTROYS to give to the United
States OF America continued proofs Of
his friendship for them, and of his wish
to evince it more strongly, at period,
when, by the principles of their respec-
tive governments, both people have
more nearly approximated to each other,
has resolved to set at liberty all the
Americans, of the United States, made
prisoners within the dominions of Spain,
for having taken part in the disturbances
of His Majesty's colonies.
His Majesty, in commanding me to
make 10 you this communication, has
further charged me to express his hope
that this generous proceeding will be
duly appreciated by your government
and the rather, when the injuries result
ing to Spain, from conduct so unjusti.
fable, are taken into consideration and
that it will, in future, exert its whole
authority and influence to suppress every
hostile or piratical act derogatory to
those principles ofsound morality, which
should form the rule of conduct of all
nations governed, as in the case of Spain
and the United States, by constitution
founded on wisdom and justice.
hereupon renew to you the assurance
of my high respect, and Ipray God long
to preserve you.

our now constitution to the existing laws of Mas

fession, which commands and enjoys the respect,
the confidence and love Of all classes of society,"
has been seditiously avoided-apd notwithstand-
ing the opinion supported by high authority OF the
inadmisibility of any exemptions yet, such was
the unwillngness Of those gentlemen to offer yio-
lence to the sentiments of the clergy, and the
community at large, and so strong the convic-
ton that the first legislature would relieve both
parties from their present dsagreeable situation,
that, as by common consent, the calm of religious
life and duties was suffered to remain undistur-

TO correct the wrong impression made on the pub

THE STATE HOUSE.

The exterior OF the building which has been
erected by The subscription OF a number Of the
citizens OF this town, for the accommodation OF
the Senate and Council, and for executive
Offices, is nearly completed. As il was Con-
sidered as temporary, rather than perma-
| nent accommodation, no extraordinary expense
has been made, in furnishing it with unneces-
sary decorations or useless ornaments. There
is neatness and simplicity in It's style, which
does credit TO its architect, and tout en- 6nseu,-
bic which strikes the eye agreeaby. We can
not but regret however that the plan was not
extended SO as 10 accommodate the House OF
Representatives who have no fixed place OF
session appointed them they will probably
assemble in the Court room. The building is
,iuated next TO the Court House, is 46 feet in
front, and two ,ssries high. On. the lower
floor are six rooms for Offices and Hobbies the
upper story is appropriated 10 the Council and
Senate. The front is finished similarly TO the
Court house, with pilaslers and a pediment
BY little more expense in higher siudding
the stories, lis appearance would have bees
much improved.
Yesterday the Circus Couf Of the u. S. COM
menced its session for the first time in this judicial
district: present the Hon. Justice Sroar and
Judge PARRIs. The former delivered a long and
very clog uent charge 10 the grand jury, in which
after some introductory observations appropriate
TO the occasion, he summed up the principal du-
ties of the jury, dweit at considerable length
upon the alarming increase Of piracy M THE
country, and the necessity of vigilance and
prompt execution of the existing laws upon the
subject; and then adverted to the slave trade
and the horrors resulting from it in an eloquist
and feeling manner, which made a deep impress
sion upon the jury, we'll as upon numerous
audience. He observed, that he had it from
indubitabe authority that this illegal and bar.
.barous traffic was yet pursued at great extent III
this country, and that many citizens even in New
England were still engaged in it. II would graf 4
ify US to be able 10 dwell at some length uponf
this excellent address, but time and room forbid.
The Hon. Mr.. WEBSTER, of Boston, is in town,
and is ensag ed in an important cause pending in
this Court.
1-We are happy to learn that the learned
Judge has assented to the wishes Of the grand
jury, and given them copy of his charge for the
press.
The Election in New-York, carried on with
spirit and animosity seldom equalled in this coun-
try. has at length closed. We cannot pronounce
with any certainty which party has been success
full. The papers on either side claim the victory,
the majority cannot therefore be very great on
either side. The southern and middle districts
give majority for Mr.. V. Z. ToMKINs, and the
eastern and we stern for Gov. CLINTON. 1t is
thought the Buekiails or .9aii Clp,forians have
succeeded in the Assembly il net in the Senate,
and that Gov. Clinton will have small plurali-
ty for Chief Magistrate. The election for Gov
crnor is trennlal.

Mr.. Floyd, Of Va rose with similar views
and for similar reasons, he remarked, such
would be. the reduction OF revenue by the op
Grafton OF this new system, that there should
be also corresponding reduction IN the army
and navy. He said, that unless there was
retrenchment there soon would be a necessity
Of raising annually eight or ten millions by d.

that might with proprety be dispensed with.
and many millions be saved for few men

There is much good practical sense in the

interest have oversize, the mark: and forgot
altogether that there were other classes in The

Mr.. suIRLhy,
Under the military head in your paper OF last
week was noticed with some surprise the asser-
ton, that, {" Justices Of the Peace, Engine men,
and even Ministers Of the Gospel, the sanctity OF
whose profession has hitherto exempted them
from learning the art Of 'eGr, have been required
TO appear in arms and perform military duty"
This statement as far as it respects the captains
OF companies in Portland is in particular erro-
neous-lt is not true that in this town any minis
ter OF the gospel was warned 10 perform military
duty, at the annual inspection on Tuesday last.
The /" sanctty" of their profession has not as yet
been assaled by any officer in this regiment
Whatever may be the difference OF opinion on
the question now agitated with SO much interest,
aiming out of q real or supposed repuSnancy in
