the British Government In 1881, when The award Of
the King OF the Netherlands was given, that any
further negotiation which might b, necessary upon
this subject should he carried on in London. But The
Government Of the United States expressed a strong
desire that the OF negpiatun should be in WASH

that arrangement.

whether any advantages would arise from transfer

END OF THE FLORIDA WAR;

We learn from the ST. Augustine News
Of the 18th April, that the preliminaries Of a
treaty of peace have been entered into with
the Seminoles, and that General Macomb has
directed, that shoui any Of the enemy pre-
sent themselves at the military posts, they be
treated with kindness. and supplies Of food
be given. Thus il seems this troublesome,
expensive and disgracefu war is about 10 be
brought TO close. The siipulalions Of the
treaty have not transpired +; but it is generally
understood that the right Of occupying their
lands in Florida is reserved To the Indians.
Should this prove 10 be the fact the condition
may be con- idercd as a surrender Of the point
in controversy; and is aa acknoa ledgment.
on the part OF our government, that . the
Indians have whipped US" The war in its
origin was provoked by the refusal Of the
Seminoes TO emigrate. They took up arms
to resist the mandate Of the government that
ordered their nation into exile: and now they
only consent to lay down their arms when
that order is resciuded The conditions of
The treaty are certainly highly honorable TO
the handful cf heroic savages. they have
waged war for years with one Of the most
powerful. naIions Of the world and at the
conclusion Of long and severe contest, have
dictated the terms OF peace; while on the
other side, the concession must be made by
the whites, that seldom has war terminated
more ANONYMOUSLY To civilized people.
| For this, many reasons may be assigned
that tend to remove very much the Disgrace
10 which our army has been subjected. The
successful resistance Of the enemy is to be
ascrihed, not to his own prowess or to our
cowardice or imbecility, but TO the peculiar
character Of the country which was the scene
Of hos,iliies. The impenetrable swamps
and morasses, and the lrackess and impervi-
Gus wldernesses Of Florida, were more
formidable to our troops than would have
been twenty thousand armed savages. Hilher
the Indians retreated on every reverse, and
in the deep recesses Of the everglades and
tangled savannas, found safe hiding places,
where the arm Of the pursuer could not reach
them Here, at once, is explained the whole
secret of Seminole success. Our army did
not beat them because we could not catch
them. The whole war may be styled game
Of hide aud seek at which our antagonists,
being more expert than ourselves, have come
off the winners. 1t only remains now that
we should prof, by the lesson thus taught u.s.
and submit gracefully and magnanimously to
an humiliation that The fate Of war has made
inevitable

some Of our citizens who have undertaken
the culture of this tree, that failure of the
crop expected from buds is quite generally
apprehended. 1t is believed that many trees
that have been sold, had lost their vitality in
consequence of too long exposure in the mar

subject Of this controversy. should It., in the opinion of
the President be deemed advisable to appoint one In

honor Of acquanng his Lordshp that the President OF
the United States (desrons OF conforming to the Judi
Gated wishes OF Congress has directed hun to announce

In submitting this proposition OF the President, which
he has the honor Of doing, the undersigned fiters

feels to place The relations of the beyond

the Chill Peruvian army at Yun2ay the 20 inst.
The Protector and several OF The Provincial officers
arrived at Lima on the eth ins., and have since
gone to the South. We expect the Chiiians daily,
their advance guard having been for two days within
fifteen leagues OF he city. No opposition will be
made 10 their entrance
