LATEST FROM SPAIN.

LATEST FROM SPAIN.
We learn from capt. Whittier, Of the ship
China. from Cadiz, that the news ofthe rati-
6cation of the Florida treaty reached Cadiz
about the first Of November. The Cortes
were unanimous, in their vote on the ques-
ton. A ship of war was Immediately dis
patched to Havana with copy of the rati-
fed treaty, and with instructions for The for
NAL session OF the Floridas to the United
States.
A Spanish squadron Of three frigates, four
sloops of war, and three store ships. sailed
from Cadiz, six days before the China, for
Carthagena.
We have been politely furnished with a
Gle of Cadiz papers to the 18th November,
which contain variety Of salutary regula-
tons of local nature and which shew great
discernment, talent and prudence in the
representative body Of the Spanish people.
NEW SPANISH TARlFT.
The Cadiz Gazette Of the 28th Oct. con.
tains the decree OF the Cortes establishing a
general and uniform tariff OF duties through
out all the dominions of the Spanish monar-
chy, which was officially communicated to
the Consulate of Cadiz on the Esd of Octo-
Der, and was TO go into operation the lst ia
nuary. 1921, in the ports Of Europe, and in
the ultra-marine provinces thirty days after
the arrival Of the new tariff. The most i'm
portant circumstance in that regulation, as IT
regards The United States, is, that foreign
vessels are only permitted to import in the
Spanish domlnions the produce and manu-
features (Which are not prohibited) of their
respective countries. Coasting trade is al
lowed only TO Spanish vessels. Foreign yes
sells are TO be admitted in the ports OF the
Spanish monarchy, on the same terms that
Spanish vessels are admitted in their respec'
tive countries. The maximum OF duties on
foreign merchandise is 80 per cent. ad valo-
rem of the tariff. The maximum of export
duties on the produce Of Spain to foreign
countries is 10 per cent. and the minimum 9
per cent.

trial yesterday at the mayors cour, OF this
city. There was another person by the
name OF Lewis l.. Austin, charged in the

that Pollock came to his house in this city
about TWO months ago, and asked whether
he had seen men by the names Of Myers a0d
Johnson. Upon the witness saying he had
not, Pollock produced some Rouleaus offalse
money, which were in imitation Of Spanish
dollars. Myers and Johnson then came into
the store, and Pollock distributed the coun-
terfeit coin amongst them.
Here the witness was interrupted by the
prisoner. David Pierce, Who offered to tell
enough to convict himself and Pollock, and

There arose debate Of some length, in
the course of which Mr.. King ST N. Y. and
Mr. Otis, explained their objections to the

corporation of an institution, one of the OBJ
iects of which was the cultivation Of the te-
nets Of a religious sect; that, at any rate, the
means and whole object Of the institution
had not been properly developed; that the
capacity of its founders for establishing a
college on a proper basis was not known;
that the disposition of the people of the dis.
trict of Columbia towards the establishment
OF such an university was not known, &c.
To these objections, Mr.. Barbour, Mr..

these objections were not founded on the
provisions OF The bill, but on supposed fea-
lures not 10 be found in it; that the bill had
nothing oil a religious character about 1t

point, they wished it might be so by any a.

mination were subscribers 10 the fund fol
establishing the institution; that ii MAS no
