ofsending to Prussia for an experienced com

steuben arrived, they bore such full and de.

In is due to Mr.. EVERETT to circulate the
following article from the National Journal
If his address to the King Of Spain has been
really misrepresented by the first translator,
no pains should be spared to correct the error
and do him justice. The present translation
is certainly free from many, if not all, ofthe
objections urged against the one which has
been so fruitful of comment.
& From the National Journal.
A considerable degree Of public at
tention having been called to the ad-
dress delivered by MIR EVERETT, our
Minister at the Court of Spain, on de-

nalist., we have taken pains TO procure
the following translation OF his speech,
on the accuracy Of which reliance may
be placed. We solicit our readers to
compare the translation we now lay be-
fore them, with that which has been
heretofore circulated, especially in the
first and las, paragraphs; and We can.
not doubt that such examination VIII
