An eastern mail arrived on Saturday, but il
brought but few papers, and those OF irregular
dates. In the National mtelligencer of the
i2tll ult. we find the following article, by
winch it appears that a suspension of hostiities
has taken place between the contending ar.
mes OF South America. We have not seen
the article to which it alludes.
HE Southern Armislice, which we
have with so much pleasure presented
to our readers, was followed by a treaty
Tor the regulation of war, copy oil
which has reached this country in the
Caracas Gazette, OF Dec. G, from which
Ii Is translated into the National Gazette.
The first article is as follows:
" lst. The war between Spain and
Colombia shall be prosecuted hence
forward as war is carried on by civilized
nations, in all cases in which the practi-
ces oftht latter do not clash With any OF
the articles of the present treaty, which
IS 10 serve as the primary and inviolab!e
ruiz TOR both governments"
The whole Treaty is in the spirit Of
the first article, and announces the pro-
sress Of civilization and Intelligence.
A doubt is expressed by the National
Gazette, whether The naval force Of the
Republic will concur in the armis,ice.
We hope there can be no doubt Of IT.
Certain it is, that, il it hesitates, it be-
comes by that act ontiaWed--no longer
citizens OF any country, bu, pirates, enc
mics to all. Nat. Intel.

.New Counffe8.-Ddring the present
session seven new counties have been
added TO our former number. Should
each succeeding legislature be equally
prolific, our state will soon have to boast
Of greater number Of counties than any

people are not advanced by forming
small and thinly inhabited tracts of conn-
Try into counties. In addition to the tax
es imposed by the state, may be added
heavy tax for county buildings, the ne

attendance upon courts as grand and

assert that they cannot continue to pay
specie but for few days longer; while
others, who pretend TO be better inform

refuse the payment of the govern

the ultimate fate of the Bank we know
not; and we should certainly regret, as
a great misfortune to the country at large,

We have received copy of Mr.. Tnonas'
speech in the Senate OF the United States, on
the bill for the relief of purchasers of public
lands, which shall be published in our next
1t is said that, previous to the ADJOURN
ment Of the legislature, the senate re.
considered its vote on the resolution from
the house Of representatives., authoriz ing
the governor TO give Mr.. Cook certifi-
cate ofhis election to the l7th congress,
though We do not Gud Il enumerated with
the acts and resolutions passed by the
general assembly.
In the remark and query On that sub
ject, which appeared in this paper OF the
9th instant, it was lar irbm our intention
to give offence to His Ikcellency. we
had not the most distant idea of abiding
TO the many unfounded reports relative
10 the part HIS Excel tncy took in the
election. II is SO wei known that His
Excellcncy said at Home during the
eleciioneerlng campaign, Attending to
the duties OF his otliceas chief magistrate
OF the state; that he vas not seen in this
tl,at H., a
write letters to the eastern part of the
state, assuring the friends of slavery
there that the county of Madison would
give an almost un8limous vote Tor hi,
Prime Minister, that il would have been
the height Of injustice to make such IN
situations against hln.
The query was proposed, not to cr-
inmate the governor BAT to cali the pub
nc attention to the r,voution in the Opt
mon OF the secretary OF state on the sub
ject ofthe Legality q holding tae election
at the time ii took place, in connection
with his former pie lgc: but it was, per-
haps, unfair 10 blend the Official opinion
oil an officer Of government with what
may be termed an" electionecring trick"
OF a candidate for Office.
Ii gives US extreme pain 10 lose good
subscriber, and We feel the same morti
hcation in publishing the following letter
that we did in receiving it. We hope.
however, that, as His ExceIency must
have written under the impulse of the
moment, he will be satisfied with this
explanation, and again order our paper 10
be sent to bin. Ia the nlcan tilae, We beg
leave TO assure His Excellcacy of cur
sincere friendship and ardent attachment.
