are gratificd TO learn that he brings with him
intelligence of another finale to the Seminole
war; unless it should be again renewed by
the intrigueS of Government contractors and
spectators. The chiefs have consented to
call in their Struggling parties, and retire inn

General, TO remain there until further ar
engagements shall be made by our Govern

The American troops arc, meanwhile, to &C.

"The Indians"-says the Charleston Pa
triot, "seemed well satisfied with this ar
rangement,and the general impression among
the inhabitants, was that no further difficult
ties will be experienced in Florida, at least,
for the present. The kind treatment expert
enced BY those Indians who came III at the
invitation of Gen. Macomb, has tended to re-
store confidence, and will 60 far to smooth
difficulties. The success of Gen. Macomb's
measures in putting an emil to the contest in
Florida, during the season, where military
operations could not be carried on, must be
as satisfactory to the country, as it is credit
able to the General himself" Morning Cour.

One subject takes the lead, before all 9TH
ers,in the fashionable world at present. Court
intrigue, scan mag, Lord Melbourne's play
thing Sam Spunge at the Queens table, and
mother-struggles for power between rival
factions-the whole events, in short, which
used to create excitement, are UNDECIDED now.
One subject has been the Aaron's rod Of the
hour, and swallowed up all the rest.
One of the daughters Of the late millionaire,
Rothschild, has not only married Christian,
but has abjured the faith of her fathers On
Monday week, April Goth, Miss Rothschild
gave her hand in marriage to the Hon. Hen
ry Ftzroy, M. p. for Lewes, and brother Of
Lord Southampton. The bridegroom was
81, two days after his marriage, (having been
born May 2, 1e07,) and he is heir presump.
tive to the titles and estates of his eldest bro
Their, Lord Southampton, who is travelling
with his lady in Egypt, and has ne children.
He is man OF fashion, scas visitor at Crock
ford's, and has been quiet character of late.
The late Baron de Rothschild left two
daughters. Each has fortune of E15O,OOO,
dependant on the consent of their brother,
Baron Lionel de Rothschild. One of them,
believe, is married to Montfore, late Sher-
lift of London, a Hebrew gentleman of great
wealth and responsibility. The Rothschilds
move in the very first circles in London, and
thus Miss Rothschild became acquainted with
young FitZroy. He was formerly in the ar
my. When her fSther was alive, young
Austrian nobleman, Private Secretary to
Prince Esterhazy, proposed for her; but
their father declared she should marry none
but one of the Jewish faith.
| When Miss Rothschild determined to mar
ry Mr.. Fitzroy, she went to see the Archbish-
op Of Canterbury, and told him that she wish.
ed to become Christian. His Grace inqui-
red into particulars, and then very properly
told her that he did not consider love af-
fair sufficient reason for abandoning her re-
ligion. She is said to have assured him that
it had long been her intention to become q
Christian, and that her family were aware of
it. On this, the Archbishop said that, if it
appeared her sincere desire to become a
Christian, from conviction, he had no alter
native but to accept and baptize her.
He communicated with her family, and it
appears that she had informed them Of her
intention. The marriage was private, and
unattended by any of her family. Her bro
Their has the power of Withholding the for
tune left her by her father, but it is not ex-
pected that he will do more than have it SO
settled upon herself and her children as to
prevent the chance of her husband squander-
ing it. It is expected, also, that her family
will shortly receive her. Should she become
British Peeress, as is likely in the course OF
time, she will be the first Jewess who has ev-
or been in like situation.
