Extract Of letter from Harrington, o,
May 2.
The President informed the Commit
tee of Foreign Affairs Of the House Of
Representatives to-day, that the Spanish
negotiation was broken of, and that be
should send ia day or two message to
Congress to that effect. This will prolong
the session to the middle Of the month, and
the question may be one Of difficulty,
whether Congress shall authorize the Pre-
sident to occupy Florida. This cannot
be dons without asss;:.:;ng the gsrrisass

From the National Intelligencer of MAY 4.
The termination of the present session
Of Congress is fixed, by the joint vote of
The two Houses, TO take place CD Monday
week, the 18th instant. From illusions
which fell froai the different gentlemen 10
the course of the discussion on this matter,
it appears, that message is expected. iu
the course of the present week from the
President on the subject Of our relations
with Spain. What is to be the nature of
the message we know not, but it appears
that it is such as will render necessary
legislation of some sort. 1t is generally
supposed, that there is no longer any
prospect Of the ratification of the treaty
lately concluded with Spain.

Society, received, during the last month,

impossible to detect the connterfeits with
out comparing them and the genuine notes
together.
One Of the above counterfeits was taken
in the Bank of Pennsylvania, one in the
Schuylkill Bank, one in the Mechanics

that several counterfeit two dollar notes oil

easily detected, from the circumstance Of
the cashiers name being spelled wrong.

he name " Desborough. "-Mer. Adu,
