Numerous eiuigrations are now taking dace f. urn Yorkshire, chiefly far the Unit- d States; but a considerable number have also recently gone to South-America, and many others are preparing to follow them. The mischief of these expatriations is in- ceased by the emigrations alluded to, be- r.g not composed merely of poor distress ed artisans, who are in quest of food and employment, but chiefly of persons pos sessed of property, sufficient to render them comiortable in tneirown country. .

TREATY IVTin SFALY. From several speculations in our news papers, and the general opposition to the cession manifested in England, an opinion pretty extensively prevails that the late treaty with Spain for the transfer of the Floridas, and the consequent settlement of certain claims of our merchants against rlieSpanishgovernment,may notbe ratified by Ferdinand. Yet he seems to have pre pared (ur it, by privately selling, or secret ly giving away to some of ins favorites nearly 8.000,000 acres of the public lands of that country, about which it is “hinted” Mr. Adams called upon D»n Unis for an explanation, and that the latter evaded the subject, “by remarking that a bargain was a bargain*—that the treaty was intended to cover all sales previous to its date,” etc.* II this be true, and it has been fre quently stated to be'bo, there is something to negociate about, and twenty years more may be necessary to bring Spam to thepAnt of rightful adjustment! Some ofour citizens too, are dissatisfied with the south-western boundary, and desire to possess the coun try to Rio del Norte, as laid down iu Mel- lish’s map, which would give us the whole province ef Texas, and a great extent ol coast on the gulf of Mexico. On the good dispositions of the Spauish government wc have no sortofreiiance— we have nothing to hope from its love of justice or sense of honor; aud with tiling thus conditioned, we have much to appre hend from the secret opposition of the British to the transfer. They consider this country, in our possession, as danger ouj to their West-Iridia colonies; and, it it remains iu the hands of tspain, as a fruit lul means of annoyance to us,on our weak est side, in another war. They give us areat cridit for die ingenuity with which we managed the negocialiun, and many oi their news papers pretty plaiuly insinuate that we cheated Spain into the treaty! The impudeuce of such articles are equalled only by their want of candor, nay, ol plain truth. Spain owe* much money to uur merchants tor acknowledged spoliations on our commerce—theU. Statesagiees to pay five millions on account of the claims ol these merchants, and retire from a de mand for further indemnities, if Spain will cede a country worse than useless to her, and which having forfeited its character as being neutral, ought to have beeu taken possession of by us long ago, upon every principle of right, reason and law. The omission to do it, was among the greatest political sins of the last administration— But, why should the British so much op- jose the cession of the Floi idas—what for- orn hope can they entertain that it will not belong to us? There cannot be any; it will just as naturally come into our posses sion a* the waters of the Mississippi seek the sea; and any thing done to obstruct the operation will be as useless, in the end, as an attempt to arrest and turn back th course of that mighty stream. We believe this is the universal conclusion in th United States and that we have or at least must soon acquire, the ability to maintain our pretentions to Florida, as being jw in themselves as well as necessary to right ful convenience and legitimate safety, no one can deny: and Great Britain as well as Spain, will find more advantage in court ing our friendship than in provoking our enmity. W r e seek “honest peace with all nations,” but it is proper that we should stand prepared to defend ourselves; and for this purpse are erecting fortifications and building vessels of war.—Uinc illeai lachrymce. which we have procured for publication. Boston, May 10. Dear Sir—We have been informed by letters from capt. Crary and Mr. Higgin- *on, master ami supercargo of our ship Levant, that at the time other arrival off the port ot Valparaiso, an attempt was made by a Spanish squadron to impede her entry into that place, and that the en deavour to restrain her would probably have'succeeded, hut for the prompt and voluntary protection affordid by the Uni ted States’ ship Ontario, under your com mand. 'Permit us to add to the expression of our respect and esteem for your public and private chaiacter, our warmest ac knowledgments for this gallant and disin terested exercise of what you have been pleased to consider as aw official duty to wards the commerce ol our couutry, and at the same time to offer you our congrat ulations on the successful result of the many exertions you have made, (luring your late arduous expedition, to fulfil tiie object of a mission so wisely conceived and so happily appointed by the government of the United States. We are. with gre.it respect, sir, your obed’t bumble servants, James dj - Tuo. H. Fzbkins. , James Ebldle, esq. \ United States’ship Ontario, > New York, May 20,1819. S Gentlemen—I had the pleasure to re ceive yesterday your obliging letter of the lOtn iust. addressed to me at Philadelphia. The assistance I rendered to your ship, the Levant, when in danger of capture off Valparaiso, it was my duty to render. It wa* a duty which I performed with great cheerfulness, as during my late cruise my endeavours were constant and zealous to afford to the persons and property «if enj countrymen, all the protection wiii-li 'the presence of a public vessel of the United States was capable of affording. I am very sensible to your kind and flattering expressions; particularly at this moment, when my character is assail*(l ia some of the newspapers, for a conduct which I had trusted would not have incur red any public reproach; for, however much my wishes were on the side of the Patriots of South-America, I felt it incum bent upon me, in my official conduct, not to compromit, in my intercourse with thfpi the reputation of the flag under which 1 serve. I am, very respectfully,Gentlemen, your most obe’t servent, J. Biddle. Aieurn. Tamer & Tho. Jl. Perkinr, Barton. An editorial article in the National Tntelligen cer rather invalidates these "hints.” It admit* o great cessions of land, many of them to American merchants and “speculator*,” saying however, that nearly all these grants are utterly void.”—ami supposes that Mr. Adams and den Onis have not had any correspondence in respect to these mat ters. FROM THE BOSTON TUILT ADVERTISER Or MAT 25 We understand that the allusion in the correspondence ol lord Cochrane with apt. Bidnle, to the case of a neglect tn salute the admiral's flag by the frigate Es sex on entering the harbour of Gibraltar 1802, is grossly incorrect, and that the British admiral on that occasion, so far from requiring that the salute should be afterwards paid by capt. Bainbrio'ge, in ve- handsome'terms acknowledged that un der the circumstances none was due. Some of tte southern papers have show:: strong disposition to censure some parts the ronduet pfeapt. Biddle during his late arduous expedition. The public are hardly qualified to judge of his conduct, before knowing any tiling of it- Whether the official report of his cruise will be laid before the public, we have no means of knowing, but when it is, it will probably as satisfactory to them as it undoubt- v is to the government. It is known that capt. Biddle wis instrumental in sa ving much property of some ofour citi zens; and gentlemen concerned in the trade to those remote seas, led under strong obligations to him, for I119 faithful performance of his public -duties, io The editor of the Democratic Press is mistaken 111 believing us displeased with his remarks on the affair of general Scott. We do think it was unnecessary for gover nor Clinton to have noticed the challenge of general Jackson and general Scott’s le- fusal. This refusal was irrelevant to the maiter which occupied the attention of go vernor Clinton. There were reasons strung and conclusive why this challenge ought noi and could not be attended to.— The rule in philosophy is, “that one good and reasonable cause is sufficient for one effect.” And whiie there was one insu perable argument why this challenge ought to he refused, and while the whole transac tion was, in its own nature and character, of a truly reprehensible cast, it was meet r.d proper to take the subject up with all its deformities, and chastise the author for ins own wicked course of conduct The refusal ot geueral Scott to meet ge neral Jackson is collateral evidence against the propriety of his (gen. S’s.) being no ticed by a gentleman—but governor Clin ton, we think, ought not to have availed himself oi that circumstance. Besides we hope this subject has been put altogether on more elevated grounds.—JYew-York Columbian.
