Our readers will bear us witness how
seriously, before the COMMENCEMENT OF
the present session Of c ongress, we dep
recated the revival, in any shape of the
opposition to the admission of Missouri
into the Union; and how earnestly we
have wished its termination. The worst
evils we forssw have happened. Every
measure called for by the cries of the
People, and by the public interest is de-
Feased The proceedings Of yesterday
leave us nothing to hope, from the pres
ent Congress, for the reliefof the pur-
chasers of the public lands, or ofth mcr-

We have for many years attended the
sittings of Congress we have wntaessed
the gloomiest periods Of the late war we
have seen parties arrayed against each
other in solid and unwavering columns,
disputiug every inch of ground, in
sittings prolonged sometimes till the ply.

LA7.E FROM SPAIN.

The brig Victory, Wheeler, arrived
at this port yesterday morning, in SO days
from Cadiz, which place she left oo the
18th of Jan. All was quiet in the
kingdom. The new Spanish tariff, which
prohibits almost every article OF foreign
produce and manufacture, had gone into
operation. The frigate Constitution had
arrived at Cadiz. last from Havana, with
four millions of, dollars.

Mr.. MEAD, passenger in the Vic
tory, has favored us with papers to the
18th Of ian. containing later dates from
Itsly than were furnished though the last
London papers, and adviccs from Lisbon
unto Jan.---but they are principally filed
with local affairs of those countries. A
friend who has examined the papers at
tentively, has politely furnished us with
the following as the only articles Of inter-
est they contain.
There is nothing in the Madrid Ga.
zettes to favor the idea Of the least un-
quietude in Spain, under the new order
of things--and we are verbally informed,
that every thing was in perfect tranquil
ity.
Preparations was making for taking

TRIEsTE, DEC. |.
The new negotiations which have been
set OH foot at Constantinople by the U.
States, fer a treatysof commerce, have
produced here great sensations. This
city and other places in Italy, are on the
eve Of being deprived Of the lucrative
business Of supplying the Americans
with the merchandise of the Leyant.
1t is generally believed that that govern
ment will succeed in establishing direct
communications with Constantinople,
Smyrna, Salonica, &c.

Since the return of his majesty to this
capital, there is great activity in the dit
fercnt branches of the ministry and it is
affirmed that the new Council Of State is
engaged again in drafting aprsist for a
Constitution.
DEE ID.
For some time past the most contra
dictory rumors have been in circulation.
Some consider the war OF the Holy Al
lance inevitable, not only against Naples,
but as natural consequence against
Spain and Portugal. Others affirm that
the moderation and rcmonstrances Of
Great Britain and France, which prefer
conclliatory measures and the experience
of those States. may yet prevent a fup-
ture; and it appears that our govern
ment is of this opinion.
With regard to what has been assert
ed relative to the disturbances 10 Poland,
and the insuboruinaticn OF the Russians
it is totally without foundation.

FROM THE sAMf, OF FEB. IL.
We have the pain of announcing the
death Of another member OF Congress.
The Hon. WILLiAM A. BuRwELL, a
member of the House of Representatives
from the State of Virginia, breathed his
last about two O'Clock, yesterday, after
an illness Of two or three weeks.
Though not much older than forty
years, Mr. Rurwell had boen = member
OF the House of Representatives for fifteen
successive years, and was nearly the oldest
member OF the House. He was man OF
sterling integrity, which passed untouch-
ed, even by the breath of SANDER, the or
deal of this life. AS politician, he was
yirtucls, and he was consistent: Asa
friend, he was beloved and admired. To
his late wife, by whose side he is about
to be laid, he was an exemplary consort,
and TO his only son a most afiectlonate
father. He retained his senses to the
end, and almost his last words were,
that he mad no reason to fear the approach
of death.
A gleam Of hope breaks in l,on, the
gloom which has overshadowed the pros,
pect of a settlement of the Missouri
Question. We have some hopes ths'
the resolution proposed by Mr.. Roberts
will pass. 1t wa, worthy Of a Repre-

FROM THE SAME, or aEs. 20.

The Senate cl the United States yes
terday gave its conscnt and advice to the
ratification ofthe Treaty between the u
ni,ed States and Spain, concluded in the,
City of Washington on the 22d day Of
February, 1919. 1t is understood, that
the votes against the Treaty did not ex-
ceed fur or five in number.
The completion of this long suspended
transaction has afforded us great satisfac-
ton. We felicitate our readers general
ly that FLoRtpA is now attached to the
territory of the Union; and we congratu-
late our merchants, having claims on
Spain. that they are in fair way to OBJ
tain at least partial indemni6cation Of
their losses.
The Official publication of the Treaty
will. we presume. not be DELAYED longer
than is necessary for the exchange ofrat-
ifcations. The provisions Of the Treaty
are SO well and generally known, it hav.
ing been published some time ago a.
mong the documents transmitted to Con-
gress, that we do not think it necessary
to anticipate the official publication of it
by any detailed account Of its contents.
We know it gives us Florida, and that il
provides for indemmfying our merchants
for claims on Spain: these are the main
points, and the gatb in which these a.
greeabie objects present themselves is
not so important.
