The CREEKs.-It is now said that a new
treaty has been concluded with the Creek
Chiefs at Washington, which will be satis-
factory to all parties, and that it has been sub
mitted 10 the Senate for ratification. This
fact speaks volumes in favour of the wise and
prudent course pursued by the National Gov
eminent in this delicate affair, and is the most
pointed and conclusive condemnation posi-
bic Of the Incorporate conduct of Gov. Troup
and his partizans which, if it had
not been met with GOODNESS and decision.
would have led to incalculable evils. We
do not envy the vaporing Governor the re-
Elections which he must have on the awk-
ward situation in which he has placed him
self.

The following extract from late Ncw-Jer.
sey paper shows to what absurdites party
feelings lead, when uncontrolled by reason
and information. The paragraph is subjoined
to notice of some late proceedings of Con.
gross on the Massachusetts Claim on the Gen.
eral Government, for military services during
the late war, and is as follows:
"The reason why these claims have hereto
fore been deferred, it is well known. is. on ar.
count OF the stand taken by that State, in re-
fusing 10 perform her quota of service. At the
call of the General Government choosing
rather to provide for her individual secur;tS
in her own way, and to leave the other States
to take care of themselves as they could
Every one, acquainted with our history during
that period, knows how much our Govern
ment was hampered and Earassed by the
course Massachusetts, adopted in that strug-
gle for the maintenance Of our Independence
a course which, instead of Strengthening our
hands, tended in decided manner to weaken
them, and to prolong the conflict. IF are had
reason 10 Gpprehend that the same policv and
rSetcs fcere cherished by the Government and
people Of mai State notc, ,Oe should sag she
ought 10 look only TO England for remunero-
iion."
we really are unable. to conceive by what
course Of reasoning the writer has arrived at
ms conclusion. Even supposing that "Me
policy and rieacs'' of our Government and citi-
sens are not changed, and supposiug that this
'of1cy and these psews were even hostile to the
interests ofthe General Government, we can !
lot see what this has to do with the equity off
claim for services rendered the Government
aid Of its designs; much less how we sought
Q look 10 England for remuneration" for op-
losing, in most direct, and efIectual manner.

The home of Rosina Vangorden was beauti-

dered every object pleasing to the eye, as was

mortal Christian had once been wealthy; the
loss of his worldly wealth would have had but
little weight in the balance of his existence. yet
he had been visited by misfortunes of charac-
ter which were greatly calculated to increase
the natural moroseness of his disposition, and
Undue it with distrust of mankind. He did
not hate his fellow bengs-far from it; he re-
ceived them suspiciously, encouraged intimacy
with none, and although the neighbors called
him Misanthrope, yet, if they could have read
his heart, they would have found that it contain
ed more of pity than hatred towards his fellow
men. Still he distrustcd them; even his Rosi-

confidence, though frequently he would sit still
and gaze on her, with his piercing black eyes
beaming with affection, and exclaim, yet hea-

and artlessness" In this distrust of mankind
he would even educate the little Wilfred; he
taught the boy ever to fear man rather than trust

FROM COLOMBIA.

Baltimore, apri 2o.-To the politeness of
Captain Mcclure, of The fast sailing schooner
John and Joseph, just arrived in 8 DAYS from
Laguayra, we are indebted for file of Ell Co.
lomhiano to the soth March.
Bogota papers to the LIST March were received

which limited the interest of money 20 six per

despatch from the Secretary of State dated
in Bogo,a the lst of March, addressed to the in
tendant OF the department of Venezuela, men,
tions that Information had been received from
various sources that the Spanish squadron at
Havana was preparing with great activity for
the purpose Of making military descent on
some part ofthe coast Of Colombia--it is
thought that their intention is to disembark at
some weak point and obtain such articles as
would most annoy the Colombians. The com.
municalion is given TO excite the vigilance of
the ntendant on the coast, to protect the assail-
able points, and secure the merchandise COM
ing from sea.
The following is the most saeresting article
which we find in these papers,
"By Danish man of war lately arrived at
La Guayra, we learn that considerable French
end Spanish squadron was la'cly seen off Mar
Unique Rumouris as usual busy il mputng
their presence to the most ominous causes. Ii
seems probable however, that the Spanish YES
sells, consisting Of a line Of battle ship, and two
frigates, with some smaller vessels, is the
squadron under the command Of Admiral La
Borde, which left Havana some time back 10
reconnoitre our ports, and more especially that
OF Carthagena, in consequence Of the rumoured
expedition preparing there against that island.
The French ships, we imagine, must be the an
nualsquadron which the French Government
is in the habit Of dispatching to the West In
dies, with view, we conceive, of exercising s
improving its navy.
A private letter from ST. Thomas however
states, that the Governor Of that island had re-
ccived letter from the Governor OF Martin
ique, announcing that the former might short
ly expect visit from his friend, Admiral Du-
perre, ON his ,oyage from Puerto Rico Nth uieE
of gnrisoning that island WM French troops
This arrangement we fear would bode us no
good Ii would essentially infringe on that
neutrality to which France has bound herself
by placing the Spanish troops now in that Isl
and, at The disposal ofthe Spanish Governments
and the principle, if once admitted, would
doubtless extend itself to the Havana with still
worse consequences to us.
