annapolis, FEB 1.-THE resolutions
approving of the administration OF
JAMES MONROE, President OF the Unit.
ed States, were read second time and
passed the House of Delegates on the
10th inst. by vote of 50 to g.. Those
in the negative were Messrs. Mclean,
Spencer, Lloyd, Keynes, Jones, Wright,
Williams, Parker and Barwick. Some
Of those gentlemen, and Mr.. Mclean
particularly, voted in the negative only
from an objection to the principle Of
legislating on any such subject. He
asked leave to enter his reason for his
vote upon the journal, but the House
refused permission.
The legislature ofseyeral other states
have expressed similar sentiments re-
specting Mr.. Monroe's administration
within few weeks past, with great u
nanimi.y.
The bill reported by Mr.. Speed for
the relief of Charles Carroll OF Carroll
ton, proposing to authorize the State
to employ counsel to defend suit
brought against him by the represen-
tative of Lord Baltimore for quit rents,
was rejected in the House of Dele
gates on Monday last.

We mentioned in yesterdays Supplement,
that the birthday anniversary of our illustrous
and immortal Washington was celebrated here
on Tuesday, with the usual manifestations OF
personal regard and national pride.
The Ball given in the evening, at MIR. Cia.
gett,s Hotel, was uncommonly brilliant and
numerously attended. The finest music was
procured by the managers, and the supperwas
served up in Mr.. Clagett's best style of els-
gsnce. The whole celebration terminated
without the occurrence of single circum-
stance that could be regretted.

CUBA.

A letter from Matanzas, Of the 9th
ult. says that the people there were
much dissatisfied with the state Of
things under the present government
Of Cuba. Public amusements were
neglected, and much distress had been
occasioned by the imposition Of hea-
Wy fines, and by imprisonment. The
Colombians had three vessels of war of
Matanzas Bay, and kept sharp look
out after all Spanish vessels.

We are sincerely grati6ed, both for the no.
mr. of New-York & the individuals concerned,
to find that one Of the most prominent cases OF
supposed corruption in the Legislature OF that
State, has turned out to be unfounded.
MANY of our readers will remember the VI
rulent discussion in the New-York papers, on
an application of Mr.. MORRISON for charter
to establish Bank, denominated the Chem'-
cal Bank Of Nesc- York. Mr.. M. was boldly
charged with having corrupted Mr. SPENCER
and other members of the Assembly, with
view to the attainment of his object. The ex-
element produced by the Presidential Elec-
ton was extended to every subject that agi-
tated the public mind, and the over Jealous
partizans of the different candidates sought,
BY all the means in their power, to lessen the
influence oftheir opponents. Disreputable
reports were putin circulation, and too readily
helisved-or, effected to be believed. That
against Mr.. Morrison and his friends, proves to
be one of them, as will be seen by the follow
ing extract from the Albany Advertiser
MoRRIsoN's TRIAL.
This important trial commenced on
Monday morning and closed late on
Tuesday evening the 18th inst. The
cause was most ably sustained by the
counsel on both sides, and the result
must prove satisfactory to the public.
The investigation has completely re-
moved all suspicion from the parties
implicated, and we render but an actof
Justice when we say that MIR. Morrison
has been unjustly censured, however
good the motives of those who have
censured him were, and We are free to
confess that we were among the num-
Der. We, like others, had supposed he
had acted corruptly in the business, and
we were not slow to express our belief.
Of Mr.. Spencer, it may be truly said,
that he comes out of the controversy
like gold thrice refined. There W
not a man who heard his testimony,
that did not from his soul, set down
CNCTJ WOiu % IhOlh. <hhy hHAS
which we can say, will not add the
weight of feather to the honorable
testimony of his rectitude, which was
most cheerfully accorded by the DIS
trict Attorney at the close OF the trial.
Washington, Feb. 2S-We understand
that the Government has lately recelv-
ed Dispatches from Mr.. RICHARD Z.
ANDERSON, Minister Plenipotentiary
at Bogota, drought by Mr. Larz Nan
derson. brother of the Minister, and
accompanied by two Treaties, which
had been negotiated by him with the
Government of Colombia; one of ami
ty, commerce and friendship, and the O.
Their for the suppression Of the Siars
Trade; both of which are now under
the consideration of the Senate.

her MATURITY IT'S true we have lately been
instructed in the b1evity ofhuman grandeur
We have seen the immense power OF Bona
parte perish, together with the infatuation he
exc;ted in mankind. The shouts of his VIC
tories. the frantic acclamations humankind, the
voice of glory, are hushed in the wild roar OF
ocean along the shores of St. Helena. Vel
may its waves triumph and insult over the ty'
rant that would have enslaved them-well may
thew mimic over his head that "British thun-
der" which indicated their freedom. He
must have persisted by that immutable law
which has decreed to all evil its final over
throw. But our country seems adapted to
the moral order of the world. Philosophers
have Dissolved in society continual progress
sive improvement yet this progress must
cease at length without political freedom
May we, appointed to pursue this plan of pro-
violence, and instead of declining, always APP
approach nearer toperfection. We shall thus
grow more capable of copying him whom
none can ever equal. The recollection OF one
who was the father of our country and frst
cause of all its prosperity, will be dearer and
dearer. And remember, gentlemen, tna1
while we honor our Washington-wmie we
bedew his ashes with an annual tributary tear
and scatter fresh garlands over bis grave we
shall not only elnbalm his virtues but cause
them to bloom in our hearts.

LdiGn afairs.-ATeport from Tho
mas l.. Mckeuny, superintendent of In
dian Affairs of the United States, exhi-
bits the following facts-During the
three quarters ending IN the slst OF Au-
gust last, the sum drawn for the estab-
llshment of schools among the indians,
holding treaties, SC. amount 10 es2,654
dollars and 10 cents, and that the DIS
bursements have amounted to Sa4S,-
SAG SS,leavinga balance to be accounted
for, of Ss9,sol go, for which last sum,
no returns have yet been received. The
teacher at presen, employed by the u.
States, among the various tribes amount
to about 10, and the number Of pupils
who attend the schools to 9l6. In civ
ing the number OF teachers, every per-
son, including children, connected with
the families ofthe teachers, are enumer-
ated. The agent says, the return shew
that 80 schools are now in operation
containing 9I6 children. The Reports
of the Superintendants are highly salts
factory. They certainly demonstrate
that no i~nsuperable difficulty is in the
way ola complete reformation of the
principles and pursuit of the American
Indian. Judging from what has been
accomplished since the adoption by The
government, in 1919, of the system upon
which al! the schools are now operating,
and making the allowance for the tar
dy advance Of tia first two or three
years,whieh were, for the mos, part con
sumed in the work OF preparation; & IN
overcoming the prejudices s apprehen-
sions of the Indians, there is good rea-
son t believe, that entire reformation
may be effected, Il mean among the
tribes bordering our settlements, and TO
whom those benefits have been extcn-
ded,) in the course oil the present gen.
eration-it being with the children of
the Indians that those have to 10, who
have undertaken this work of reforma-
ton.

IN commenting on the articles in
which it is averred that the Greek fleet
has taken a position ~ the mouth Of the
Dardanells, the British Traveller says:
''lf this statement should prove correct
TO the extent stated. Constantinople will
very shortly be reduced TO q state of fa-
mine! The Grand Seignor will be thus
placed in a dilemma, from which it is
Impossible to c%onjuncture in what nam
ner he will extricate himself. Want of
provisions will naturally excite tumult,
and that can only be appeased by derir-
ing supplies from some other source,
which, as we believe, is not practicable.
There will remain then, no reliei but
from negotiation withthe Greeks. Win
