ingenuity of our countrymen:

pearls imported into Spain from the very shoals

1t appears by the long editorial published in the
National ntellgencer this morning, that the editors OF
that organ of foreign interests gratifed with the
peace which, it is hoped, the treaty with Mexico just
ratified by the Senate, will secure but they affect 10 BE-
exceedingly dissatisfied with the Of the treaty itself
There no marvel in this, when the course which thai
paper has pursued in reference TO the war, and its
apparent relation. with foreign governments generally
are considered. 1t very probably rejoces in peace,
for the benefit of its Mexican friends but regrets
the terms of the treaty. because the interests of its British
patrons duly recognised and protected Perhaps
it would not be what the lawyers term evident pre-
SUMPTION" were we to say that if the treaty had been
so left by the Senate peace to the Mexcans
and an acknowledgment OF the British interests so
fully looked after in the original document it would have
been very satisfactory the editors of the Intelligence
pit would have been very grateful 10 their foreign SYM
pahies and secured their appreciation OF not only the
peace, but also of the terms which it was secured
We think that however much dissatisfied the con-
ductors Of the Integencer may feel with the terms of the
treaty, the people of the United States, when they
contemplate the magnificent domain added to their
country just compensation for the wrongs commit
ted upon American citizens and their property before
the war commenced, and the expenses incurred in
prosecuting it, will be satisfied with the peace and
the treaty which it, modified by the Senate.
But would it not be well for the ntelgencer to point
out its particular objections to the terms OF the treaty
If it remains SILENT the American people will be inclined
to the opinion that its dissatisfaction proceeds entirely
from the fact that the British features in the treaty have
been expunged by the Senate and not because the treaty
is in any respect dsgraceful to the United States.
For one, must beg leave to dissent from the saying
of Sir Philip Francis, which the National Intelligence
thinks fit TO endorse On the contrary whilst we shall
rejoice at the final ratification of the treaty. and the resto
ration of peace, cannot say that at as peace rhieh

The following article from the Harrsonburg (ya)
