CONVENTION WITH RUSSIA.

The progressive inroads of Russia the North
Western coast of America, have for years fill
ed the United States with apprehenson-In her
jealous regard of the appearance of others on that
obscure coast in her extensive preparations for
Element and commerce with the natives, in her
cre but ncessani prosecution of voyages, for DISCO
very, and in the character of her Emperor,
prepared to expect determination to appropriate
the whole Pacific frontier of North America, from
Behring's Straits to the Gulph of CALIFORNIA; TO her
self. The celebrated Ukase published by the EN-
peror Alexander, some ~ or 10 months ago, was
considered the development of this determination.
We presume, however, that the following cx-
tracts from the National Journal, and which may
be considered official, will quiet the appreheDsi
of the United States, and even of those few of
our politicians, who have observed the supposed
croa cbmenfs of Russia with such acute seusati-
OF. For our own parts have never considered
the nominal ownership of that coast by the u
States, as of the smallest consequence. To send
colonies tbiiier, is neither consistent with poll
cy or interest--snd without the protection Of
formidable naval force, it would be ridiculous to
attempt to prohibit the prosecution of tie fur trade
by any nation which chose to carry it on. For all
valuable purposes, right to the N. w. coast Of
America, might well have not existed In the
progress ftime the tide of population is inevitably
to reach tho Pacific from the Atlantic, and them il
would necessarily follow, that the soil would be
surrendered to those who possessed both the right
and the physical power enforce it.
Nevertheless, we congratulate our country on the
conclusion aud character Of this treaty with Rus
sia as removing finally difficulty, which had been
the subject of alarm to unauy-as by clearly defn-
ing the the rights and claims Of both parties that

INTERESTING FROM SPAIN.

The Editorof the National Gazette w asli)
states that he has received late advices direct
from Madrid, of some interest-It seems that
| an attempt has been made in that Capital, SINH
lar to the one recently defeated in Lisbon, to
wrest the Crown from Ferdinand the 9TH and
place it on the head of the infant Don Carlos,
the heir apparent to the throne-This attempt
was formed by the party of the Fanatics, for
whom the present system is not absolute enough,
who would fain exterimnate not the Constitu-
tlonalists only, but the whole party of the more
moderate Royalists, who opposed to the Revo-
luton, ami even to any Constitutional improve
ment, are yet unwilling to cut the threats Of
| the liberals. II is a new state of things in a
country, when party is to be found so ROYAL,
that even absolute despotisn is too I'D for their
opinions. What miserable prospect for those
once fiourishing, free and powerful Kingdoms.
Spain and Portugal-that they have not only
become the theatre of the most horrible anarchy,
&despotism-but that they behold in their future
masters, the Infants Don Carlos and Don Miguel
an early spirit of ambition that would immediate
their parents for its immediate qualification
and ferocious cruelty and political and reli-
gious bigotry which even at the generous age of
%, outstrip their fathers!
The internal condition of Spain may be in
ferred from the attempt Of Don Carlos in the
Capitol-Three parties divide the Kingdom

and discord reigns in society. The people are
impoverished-the Exchequer empty--the high
ways infested with Robbers-Sevcnty thousand
Frenchmen are quartered on the country, to
remind the peo ,e Of their conquest By foreign
powcr--an imbecilc, but cruel, biroted and
treacherous prince rules with unbridIed despo-
tism, filling the prisons with wretches, and
streaming the scaffoId with blood The pros

less-and in the succession Of Don Carlos to the
throne they anticipate horrors which even Fer

From the National Journal, .augu.t 3.
CoNvENTIoN with RUssIA.-Mr. Lucius Bull,
who arrived in this city few days ago, was the
bearer vi dispatches from our Minister at ST.
Petersburgh. BY these, il appears that a
Convention was concluded on the 5th-l 7th
April last, between MIR. Middleton, on the
part oil the United States, and Count Nessel-
rode and Dir. Politica on the part of Russia
We understand that the Convention consists of
SIX articles, in which all the points in dispute
between thc-two governments are adjusted, in
manner the most honorable aud advantageous
to this country.
The LIST article authorizes the free navigation
OF the Pacific Ocean by both parties, and re-
coSnizes the right of fishing, and of landing OH
all points of tue West coast not already occu-
pied, in order to trade with the aborigines.
ID article provides, that the citizens or SUBJ
Jects OF neither country shalL land at points oc-
eupied by either, without the permission of the
Governor or Coinmandant:
Sd article fixes the. boundary line at $40,
north of which the United States are not to
form establishments, and south of which Russia
cannot advance.
4th article allows free entrance ia both par
ties, for ten years. into all the gulphs, harbours,
NC OF each, for the purpose Of fishing and trad
ing with. the natives.
9th article interdicts trade in fire arms and
liquors; and provides that violations of this ar
tlcle shall be- punished, not by seizure of the
vessel, but by the penalties, to be prescribed by
each government, on its own citizens or sub
jects.
9th This article drescribes that the ratifca-
ton shall be changed within ten months from the
date of the treaty.
This Convention may be regarded as Sc
cond signal effect of the manly and independent
Message OF our President TO the late Congress-
ifthe Emperor Alexander had left it to our own
government TO fix the terms of the treaty, it
could not more completely have secured ali our
interests in the Pacific. We congratulate the
country upon this new evidence of the excel
ience ofthe system which has been pursued by
our present Administration.
