Mr.. For's address.

Sir-I have the honor to address YOU in
the name of the diplomatic body accredi-
ted to the United States ofAmerca. We
are anxious, sir, TO cxpresst 10 you the high
respect aud esteem which we entertain for
your character, as well as the gratitude
that we feel personally for the kindness
and courtesy we have always received al
your hands. We shall all remember with
satisfaction the period during which our
respective public duties have placed US in
communication with your Government
and in now taking leave Of you officially,
we beg to be allowed to assure you of the
sincere interest we shall ever feel for the
continued welfare and happiness of your
self and of your family.

In our intercourse with nations, the only
true rulo 10 he observed is, 10 preserve our
foreign interests, and leave local instlu-
lions to be sustained or abolished by the
local tribunals in each country.
Thcdecision recently made in the case
of the Amistad indicates base subserven-
cy to British feeling and British Interests.
And, if they eau succeed in organizing a
"WorId's Convention" as they are plea
sed 10 call it, and get our people to join
them, they will finally succeed in using a
portion Of our conlederacy TO break down
The po,rer o the Union, and thus secure 10
Great Britain her darling object, perma-
nent ascendancy upon the ocean, and the
prosrralion other only rival, this great and
glorious republic.
Underpropor application from the Span
ish minister, the negroes in this case ought

ty Of l795. The questions as TO the
meaning of certain Spanish words, and
wheIber they were slaves or not under the

MINISTER TO aIEXlCO-MR. HOLMES.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.


The General Appropriation bill has just
passed the House. The amendment of the
Committee of the Whole, substituting a
charge instead of Minister to Mexico,
was rejected by vote ofl0l 10 S3.
Mr.. Holmes was extremely anxious that
a Minister should be sent TO that country.

requiring the presence of Il Minister of the
United States. Correspondence of Patriot.
We sould like to know, who it was that
moved the amendment, 10 lower The grade
ofour national representative at Mexico.
The South, at least, is indebted to Mr..
Holmes for true appreciation of the i'm
portance of our relations with that country
and o(the official dignity, which should
belong to one charged with the care ofour
interests in that quarter. When Mr. Poin
seIl filled that post, he filled it as full min
isicr. Our relations, with that country.
important as they were then, are now still
more So. Every day adds to their consc-
quence. Mexico, in its connection with
Texas, and the slave question, is the cho-
sen theatre ofBri'ish intrigue. The South
should see to it, that we have man there
prompt, sagacious, courageous. And
the idea of sending mere charge 10 Mexi-
co, when we send Ministers to Prussia
Austria. and Russia, is ridiculous. Fo,
what are the national representatives al
these Courts. but the agents simply of ma.
tional courtesy and good fellowship?-
What the grand requisites for filling hem
honorably? Good manners aud gentle

relations with Mexico, on the contrary, arr
those ofhusiness and feeling. They react
TO the honor and vital concerns orlhe South
and should be entrusted TO man of pith

More Indian Troubles.-We learn from
the Little Rock Gazette, on the authority
of gentleman, recently from the Indian
country. that great cxcilemen, has Teen
created among the Cherokees, by The ex-
eculiou of an Indian named Achilla Smith,
one of the treaty signers, who had been
tried and convicted of murder. Previous
10 his execution he had asked and obtained
leave to have a personal interview with The
chief, John Ross, with the view to obtain
n retrieve. While before the chief he was
earnest in his proteslatons of Innocence
of The crime of which he had been convict
cd, but slated that he had killed three or
four men. Ross refused 10 grant reprieve,
and Smith was executed. After this event
the excitement became intense amongst
party 10 which Smith beloneed. Threats
were made against the life Of Ross and his
friends, and he thought it prudent 10 sur,
round himself by body guard of some
forty persons. lie is shortly 10 leave the
Nation for the East.
II is further stated that Ross despatch
ed message to distinguished member oil
the Ridge party, "a relative Of Boudinol's
who had ills said, expressed some threats
against him---to know what his intentions
were. The reply was characteristic of'he
man, aud of course unsatisfactory to Ross
Thus the matter stood when the informau

Cotton. The latest accounts OF The state
of the Foreign markets, as brought by
the Steam Ship Britannia, at Boston, are
highly favorable. Although prices have
advanced but slightly, yet there was an
increased demand, by manufacturers, aud
the markets were firm.
This news, however, has had little or no
effect, to raise the price in our markets,
aud we can attribute it only to The want
of money, among purchasers. Indeed, we
scarcely recolect the time, when our busi-
ness men and merchants, have been so
drove as at the present. A determination
is manifested by them, however, to extri-
cate themselves from their difficulties, and
ascertain the trne slate Of affairs. As an
instance, Of the heretofore unparalleled
pressure among creditors, we are informed,
that upwards Of six hundred cases for debt,
have been docke,ed for trial, at the ensu-
ing Spring term, of the Court of Common
Pleas, in this District; besides an unusual
number ofjudgments confessed. We also
learn, that the same spirit prevails in the
adjoining Districts. Whether this will ope-
rate, for the benefit of those engaged, and
the community a, large, remains 10 be de-
cided. That there has been disposition
exhibited, by many, to delay the settlement
of their dues, is a selEevidens :aastr which
mnsfbe accounted for, either Tor The want
of means, or disposition to make suitable
amends for The delay.
If i, has been the want of requisite
means, we cannot but deplore the unhap-
py effects, which This procedure, on the
part of our business community, will have
tendency 10 produce, as large amount
Of property must be sacrificed, TO satisfy
the volaries Of the laws. But, if on the
contrary, there has been want of dispo-
sition TO meet Just demands, when due, we
cannot but hope, that the law will have
The desired effect, Of bringing people 10
their senses, and to warn them n future,
not 10 contract debIs, which they have no
idea Of paying at maturity.
We would, that il might have been other
wise, that The expenses which must accrue
from procedure by law, might have been
averted, and we yet indulge the hope that
The lime is not far distant, when we shall
once more assume our former station, as
out Of Gebt.

ofsome length, quotes the following eulogy
upon Bishop Elliott.
