The two extracts which appear below,
TIE one from the National Intelligeneer Of
Friday, the Other from the National
journal of Saturday, explain each other.
We publish II EN-, as eliciting facts of some
consequence Ia the public. The suppress
sion nf documents AT the will of Editors,
entrusted Ia publish the proceedings oi
government, shuts ont light from the peo
pie, and is 10 say the least of II, neither
very cledi,able III the party presuming 10
do il, or the government suffering ii 10 be
done
The Editors of the Intelgencer seem
rather to rejoice at having lost this mark
of the confidence OF the government, Ii
| will PROVE, say they, more announcement to
the government, than 10 us--and may
prevent the circulation of things, the DIFF
! fusion of mich, is mole interesting In the
government than To u.s. We presume the
Journal is as well satisfied nj having gain
ed this confidence, rs the lnteliigenccr is
al having lost tit is a pity, Therefore,
that parties 81 we'll pleased with the same
occurrence, should fall out about it.

The Floriaa ClaimS.-Gur mercantile
readers have called upon us from every
quarter, for the publication of the awards
made by the Board Of Commissions nud.r
the Spanish Treaty, and dissatisfaction
has been expressed AT their hcing so long
withheld II has not brcn our fault We
were DESTROYS To hayeHublished ii long ago.
We have IL now IN our power to state, that
the Report Of the commissioners has
made It's appearance IN a weekly paper
printed in this city, heretofore known by
the name of the .Adtionat .foprnai Ertra,
hut which has lately taken To itself diff
f,rcut title VIZ: National Government
Journal, which has been chosen by the
Secretary of State rs the vehicle tn the
public of such official papers rs are subject
To the control of that Department. The
! List Of .9tcnrdS by the Board above men
toned, will, we are Informed, appear in
the next No. of that journal.
The determination of the Secretary of
State TO withhold Official papers from this
print, will, VIZ apprehend, prove more in
convenient TO the government than TO us,
for it will relieve Us from the necessity of
publishing any more of those matters than
is interesting To our readers, and may pre-
vent the circulation of some things, the
| diffusion of which is interesting to the go
tcrnment. In the Tfesent case, tee have
be en- refused copies of those papers, long
ago applied for, and the copies, refused TO
us, have been made ont, by order of the
Department Of State, for the "Naiional
Government Journal" Without intending
To make either comment or complaint on
this subject, il has become necessary, to a
void misunderstanding of our delay to
make ~ publication, that the naked fact
should he placed before our readers, " no
may rest assured they shall lose nothing
by this arrangement that is of any sort of
value to them.
The List of the Awards Of the Commits
sioners will appear in this paper at least rs
soon as in that To which copy has been
furnished by the Department of State.
Nat. Int
The statement in the above article, that
the National Government Journal, has
been chosen Ly the Secretary of State as
the rehicie to the public, of such official
papers as are subject to the control OF that
Department, is not entirely correct. The
necessity of restoring, at least occasional
y, tn some other vehicle than the National
lntelligencer, has resulted not only from
tie general course OF the Editors of that
