The treaty which we this day publish, by authority, is that which was concluded at Madrid,' in 1802, but the ratification of woich by Spain, has been withheld until recently. Thu treaty, it will be seen, provides for il e settlement, by the arbitration ot com :iii*sio>ic.'*, and in the most unexception- able manner, ot all claims, prior to the v-ar | S02 of the citizens of Spain and of i'.e United States, respectively, tor liotse:, sustained by the depredation of citizens of the two governments, prior to the year 1802. Tne claims for spoliations by French privateers carrying their prizes into the ports of Spain, during the same period, and which have been ever since the sub. joct of negotiation, arc- not provided for. They are, however, expressly reserved, and the existence of the claims thus dis tinctly recognized. TUE ATT IVITU SPA IX. BY THE PRESIDENT OF TUE UNITED STATES. A PROCLAMATION.

Bv a gentleman just arrived from St Thomas, we learn, (says the New-York National Advocate) the following facts, which we deem ot sufficient interest U make them known in the United States, lor the information of whom they may con ccrn; A large ship, with a cargo of Brazil 80- Kltrs, coffee, hides and elephants teeth, was lately run into a bay off’ the Danish island of St. John’s, and there sold to some persons ot distinction at St. Thomas. Uue of them, it is said, is the commandant’s aid-de-camp, and another his brother-in law. The ship bail painted on her stern l he General Jacksun.” The cargo was wrought into St. Thomas in small vessel, and sold at high prices. Some say that the ship was an American, coming from B. azii—that the officers were murdered by the crew, etc.; aud others declare she was a pnzetoone ot Artigns’ privateers, called the San Miguel ol Lissabou. As the ship was about 14 days discharging, the negroes of St Johns auu Tortola became acquainted with her siluatinu, and thought themselves entitled to some share. Hun dreds of them, accordingly, went on board and took a great quantity ol the remaining sugars. We are informed that a privateer called the Hornet, formerly the Alerta, which fit ted out in the port of Baltimore and sailed during the last week, was sent after on in- lorinatton lodged against her at the cus tom-house. The Revenue Cutter went alongside, and put her lieutenant on board, with order* to get under, way, and pro ceed up the Bay for Baltimore, which the captain of the privateer stated he would mmcdiately do—and the Cutter left her. The privateer hoisted anchor, and with a Iresli breeze got under way, and proceeded dourn tiie bay ou a cruize, with the reve nue officer on board. We are also Uhl that last week the pri vateer biig Fourth of July, etc. etc. etc. uus seen at anchor in the Patuxent, en tirely deserted by her officers aud crew. Tne Fouith of July came iuto the bay in company with a valuaole ship as a prize —Uie money on board tile prize is said to have been forwarded to tins place.

Ba- cot, esq post-master of this city. • Post-Office, Fayetteville, 30th Dec. “Dear Sir—I hope we are at length upon a track which will lead tu a discove ry of our lost mails. A man who had been driving for some lime past between this and Lumbertnn, having conducted himself in such a manner of late, as to excite con siderable suspicion, was arrested yester day and brought to this place. The halves of several hundred dollar bills were found in his possession, together with other ar. tides calculated to confirm his guilt. A packet of letters from Georgetown for this office, was found a few days since near Lumber ton, a short distance from the stage road—all uf the letters had been opened aud one of them robbed of a small sum of money which it contained.—Should any thing transpire in the course of the investi gatinn, throwing any light upnu tne former robberirs, you shall beadvisrd.” ‘•Vtry respectfully, “John Marses,” “To T tV.

We the undersigned, citizens of the (own of Delaware, beg leave publicly to represent that a number of persons not otheawise employed, having a plate from Canada, set up a press in this town, and it'uck off some thousands of five and ten dollar notes, the style of which is nearly a* follows, to wit: 7Ac President u-ut Oi rectors of the Sciotio Exporting Compa ny promise to pay Jfc.

The public are notified that there is in reality, no such bank, nor a cuit uf capita! to redeem said paper—that’ the persons engaged in this business are without pro perty or honorable employment, and are gcnctally insolvent debturs and vagrants. And that they, having for the most part lispersed in every direction, are now en gaged in this nefarious transaction, de frauding the poor and ignorant of the re ward of honest industry, and perhaps their only means ol suppoit, during the ap proachii.g winter.

On Monday last, the Ojwra of •‘Fnntainblein” wn* pland, for the benefit of Mm Philipps — There was* croudeii and the mu:t taahioi.ablr audience that l:«s btan »itne-scd Ibis season — Upwards of eleven hundred persons were present I fie applame which the art is frenerahy drew that evening froir. tne audience wculJ sci.ni to set ciiticitm at defiance. When Mr Philipps ap peared in the character of Henry we we re pre pared for the concord of sweet sounds, and wewere not disappointed:—wn- again repeat it— that, he has a good voice, ami smjrs witli great taste and judgement; towards the la-.ter pa.t of the perfomunce we thought, ilia’ Ins voice had suffered from a too great exeriion; and that lie was a little hoarae. .Mr. P has taken leave i f our boards, and, we retrrvt, in common with die lovers of mmic. Ins depat ture. Mr. itilson played dockland in a mannrr perfectly natural — He gave a true picture of a love scene, indeed, he seemed tpi te at heme, a* lie always is. and he was highly applauded. Mrs. Waring was Rosa—she is handsome; pnjWsacs a good figure,and plajed with ir.uch judgftnent.— Mra. Y -ung and Mrs Drummond deserve notice in the characters of Celia and Dolly. In the after- piece of “Itrodier and bister” all the cliaractetg well were supported. With regard to the propriety of theatrical rrp. resentations, there is, and ever wiil be, great diver sity of opinion. Many conscientious and just men urge as an objection, that they have a demo, mbzmjf tendency On the other hand, there arc an equal number, and mer. too of piom habits and profound minds, who have boldly atood Ibith in I their defence, and have succeed, d in convincing a " majority of mankind, that grounds of objectirn on that score have little, if any, foundation. We ate told by a man who stands pre-eminent for his knowledge of llie human heart, that the purpose, uflhe stage ‘ both at the first and r.otv.krus, and is, to hold as it were the mirror up to nature: to shew virtue her mvn featur, scorn her own im age, an l the very age and body of the time his form and pres: tire ’* It wilt not be denied, that the drama has never degrnented into liccmiotis- iicssj yet whenever th’.s has been the case, the cor ruption of the age was such, as to discourage the appearance of virtue in any shape. It shnuid be remembered that it is a prerogative guaranteed to the people, to check in the very bud, all indica tions to turn the stage from the true pur| ose .of playing; if permitted, therefore, to exhibit scenes of urmeaning m.inicry and buffoonery, the fault rerts in a great degree with the spectators. It is a Well known truth, that the introduction of scenic represent:!* ions contributed very maitri. ally towards the civilization ot the ancient ha-ha-, rians, perhaps more than any other cause .£>- chrius, Euripides and Thespis, will ever bet te- membered as the founders of a glorious ernj in (•reece. The rapid advancement of Home to wards refinement, was partially raving to In r en- emiragririent of the dramatic arts. During the lark age which followed the destruction of that empire, the drama was measurably suspended. To Shakespeare must be imputed ihe minor of resuscitating the histrionic muse. It we-uM here be useless to speak of the powerful influence which the pen wruught upon the con ipt man. ners of the people of his own day, anel ln>w the vile trash which lung had possession uf the stage* was banished as bis genius became better known. It has been said, that no instruction can he de rived from an attendance St the T heatre. This is a palpable error, and scarcely deserves refuta tion. We would ask all such persons, ifaknm l- vdge of the ancients is not. desirable) If so, we venture to assert that in no other way can such accurate ideas ot their costume, mode of warfare, manners and customs, be obtained, as by witnees- ng the correct representations of historical plays- \re elocution and the graces ofmetion of conse- qut nee? If so, where find so good examples as by hearing the elegant language of our Lest dra. matic writers, enforced by a master of the rlieto. licalart? Tislitre that the matkis turn from the •hideous mien” uf the hypocrite, and the fair rep resen tative of virtue exhibited in all her iM’nu'.g modesty. Is there no moral to be deduced" from so prodigious a contrast) Notwithstanding the opposition which has ex isted against the theatre; from the days of Shake speare down to the preseut moment, the world lias been favored with many shining specimens of dramatic genaas, and various countries have gi'en birth to actors whose talents have shed lustre oie* the dramatic profession. The art continues lo be fostered by the most refined and intelligent com. munities in nations; and we ibink it would puzzle even the most fastidious sceptic to designate wherein they have suffered injury by its tff.cu — Our remarks have already execede J their intend* ed limitation, and we now lake leave for the pre- sent of the subject.
