IERETT's Address to the King of Span on the pre-
sentaon ot his letter OF credencc as Minister OF thu
United States to that nation. We cannot but thinh
his language has been rather harshly censured. i
should be recollected, that it is the duty of nation!
to cultivate amity, one with another, and that 1t i:
more especially the province oil Ministers abroad tc
observe all usual couresies with the nations TO whom
hey are deputed in amity, by their own govern
ments. In doing this, Mr.. EVERETT has no more
than followed the example o, his immediate prede-
cessor when he proiessed respect Tor the person o
the King o. Spain and oil his family. Not TO do So
on such an occasion, would have been an absolute
breach OF the rules Of civy and good breeding,
which would have done no credit 10 Mr.. EVERETT,
and might have essentially prejudced those G. ca,
interests which he is employed to negotiate upon,
and respecting which We venture to say, he will be
found sufficiently tenacious, if we may Judge from
the sample we have already seen Of his diplomatic
spondence with another power. There is no
danger, we believe, OF either the dignity or the in
terests of the United States being compounded in
the charge Of Mr. EVERETT lie is gentleman
OF rare accomplishments and Republican principles.

Majesty in adopting all suitable measures for main-
tanning and extending the amicabe intercourse that
already exists between Spain and the United States
The geographical position OF these Two countries
invites them to carry active commerce. which
tends, IN its turn, TO encourage the industry and
promote the welfare of both. Placed, as regards
some OF their most valuable possessions, in the i'm

proper exelions for giving effect to these benevo

good will are all iet by your Majesty.

the wages as may have been actually paid to the
child, but also 10 any part which may remain un-
paid that he cannot maintain an action for the
subsequent earnings Of the child; and the child
