demonstration of joy and exultation. In
the part of the day, many of the houses
had been closed, in the expectation that

power vested in him bv law to do what
was proposed ; and that if he had neg-

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
Mr. Smith, of Maryland, presented a
petition of sundry inhabitants of the city
of Baltimore, praying that measures may
be adopted to prevent citizens of the U.
States from engaging ir. the business of
privateering under the flags of the go
vernments in South America, and that
certain ports in the United States be de
signated, in which only cruizers of those
governments may be permitted to enter,
and that those lying on the waters of the
Chesapeake Bay may be among those
which may be prohibited ; which peti
tion was referred to the committee on
Foreign Affairs.
TARIFF OF DUTIES, fee. fee.
The house then again resolved itself
into a committee of the whole, Mr. Tay
lor in the chair, on the bill to regulate
the Duties on Imports.
A motion to strike out the first section
of the bill (to reject it) being under con
sideration—
Mr. Tyler delivered a speech of about
an hour’s length in support of this mo
tion.
Mr. Starts delivered a speech of about
the same length, iu reply.
After whom, Mr. Gross, of N. York,
spoke at some length, on the same side
of the question.
The question was then taken on strik
ing out the first section of the bill, and
decided in the negative, 73 votes to 43.
The committee of the whole then
took up the other bill referred to by
the title of “ A bill regulating the pay
ment of duties on merchandise imported,
and for other purposes.”
[This bill provides, that from & after a
certain date, the duties laid on all goods,
wares and merchandise, imported into
the United States, except dying drugs,
and materials lor composing dy e?, arable,
gum Senegal, and all other articles used
solely for medicinal purposes, cassia,
cinnamon, clove3, chocolate, cocoa, cof
fee, indigo, mace, molasses, nutmegs,
pepper, pimento, salt, ochre, sugar, tea,
shall be paid before a permit shall be gran
ted for landing the same, unless entered
for exportation or deposited in public
store houses. On the excepted articles,
duties not exceeding 100 dollars in a-
mount to be paid in cash ; and, if exoeed-
ding that sum, shall be allowed a credit,
on one half for three months, and on the
other half for six months—except tea,
the duties on which are to be payable, in
equal payments, at three, six and nine
months.]
Mr. Baldwin explained at some length
the general views which had induced the
committee on manufactures to report
this bill, and spoke in detail of the vari
ous provisions contained in it.
Mr. Silsbee assigned at considerable
length, the reasons why he was opposed
to the passage of the bill.
Mr. Lowndes also assigned, the reasons
why he also was opposed to the bill, and
particularly to the provisions which con
template restrictions on the East India
trade.
Mr. Clay spoke in reply to Mr. Silsbee
and Mr. Lowndes, and urged the adop
tion of the provisions of this lull.
Mr. Lowndes again spoke ; and Mr.
Clap rejoined.
Mr. Baldwin was speaking earnestly
in support of the bill; when

ARRIVAL OF THE U. S FRIGATE CON
STELLATION, COM. MORRIS.
Norfolk, April 34.
The U. States’ frigate Constellation, flag
ship of the squadron which left the Chesa
peake in November last under the command
of Commodore Morris, for Soutli Ameri
ca, came in from sea on Saturday about two
o’clock, and anchored in Hampton Hoads
the same evening. The Constellation took
her departure for the United States at Monte
Video, on the 29th of February, vs ith the
rest of the squadron,consisting of the frigate
John Jldams, Capt. Wadsworth, and sehr.
jYonsuch, Capt. Turner—touched at Mar
tinique on the Gth inst. and sailed thence for
St. Thomas, where she left the John Adams
on the 12th (the Nonsuch not having arriv
ed) and sailed for the United States.
Colonel S. Halsey, American Consul at
Buenos Ayres, lias come home in the Cou-
stcllation.
The Constellation having sprung her bow
sprit, will remain here until she is fitted w ith
a new one, when we understand, she will
immediately put to sea a^ain.
Of South American aftairs we learn, from
a highly intelligent source, that a corp3 of
Artigas’s army marched into the Portuguese
territory, about the last of November, and
defeated a corps of Portuguese troops, but
on its retreat was intercepted by a large
corps of the Portuguese army, and routed
with considerable loss of men, horses and
cattle. _

IMPORTANT FROM SPAIN.
Philadelphia, April 20.
By the kind &. polite attention of Capt.
Steinhaur, of the ship Brandt arri ved on
Tuesday afternoon. we are put in pos
session of Paris and Bordeaux papers to
the 14th March, contaiuing London dates
to the 8th, and Madrid to the 9th inclu
sive.
The Revolution which has been so
speedily and tranquilly effected in Spain,
argues very much in favor of enlarged
views, religious, moral and political, in
that nation—We find by a Madrid article
of the 2nd March, that the new Council,
who advised and supported the King in
this measure of wisdom and moderation,
consisted of the following distinguished
characters viz : His Royal Highness In-
fcuito Don Carlos ; the Duke de Infanta-
do—the Duke of San Fernando—Bishop
of Madrid—the Counsellor of Castile—
Of. Lardizabel, and Counsellor of State
Mr. Hivas.
Boiuif.aux, March 14.
The insurrection has at length become
general in Spain. A courier who arriv
ed here yesterday, brought intelligence
from various constitutional chiefs and
several new journals, from which, on ac
count of want of room, we can make but
few extracts. The intelligence brought
is further confirmed by a Russian cou
rier, who passed through here yester
day, and who had quitted Madrid on the
morning of the 9th inst. He adds, that
after the almost unanimous declaration
of the army and people, and the energe
tic demonstration of General Ballesteros,
the King found himself obliged to pro
claim the constitution of the Cortes, the
same as wc announced yesterday.
The prisons of the Inquisition were
universally thrown open, and a general
amnesty was about signing when the cou
rier left there.
Saragossa, March 7th.
Never has a political change been
brought about with so much tranquility
and union. The constitution has been
proclaimed the day before yesterday, by
all the people, and the garrison compos
ed of two regiments of infantry and one
of cavalry. Military music and a gene
ral illumination, terminated this memo
rable day. The joy of the people of Ar-
ragon was at its height. The marquis
d’Alazon, Captain General, has been
confirmed in his command, and the Count
de Castrezon, who had replaced him by
order of the King, has been arrested and
sent back to Madrid.
Madrid, March 6.
All has terminated happily : the weak
ness of the government against the im
mense force of public opinion, does not
even give time enough to organize the
contest between light and darkness—
The Conte d’Abisbal, who called him
self the friend of Ferdinand, has gone to
Ocana, where he has put himself at the
head of a regiment commanded by one
of his brothers, and has arrested the
public authorities, and nrocisiifted the
constitution. He continues the same ope
ration in the different towns of the chan
nel.
Several piquets of cavalry from this
garrison, and many gardes de corps, have
deserted with their arms and mounting*.
All the corps of engineers and sappers
which were at Alcala have disappeared.
Finally, all the provinces are declaring
themselves independent, and constituting
provisional governments. All these e-
vents which follow each other with such
rapidity, have forced the King to declare
that he would consent to the wishes of
the people, and show the most lively
movements of joy ; and we hope that
this great crisis will be terminated with
out the smallest misfortune. It is as
serted that General Freyre, in concert
with the patriots of the Isla de Leon,
has likewise proclaimed the constitution,
which has been published at Segovia,
and fixed oil in every quarter ; but a
foolish ecclesiastic, who had the boldness
to tear down one of these bills, was im
mediately put to death.
Vittoria, March 9.
Saragossa lias proclaimed the consti
tution ; Carthagena has done the same ;
and it is said that Catalonia has followed
the example. The 8th of this month
the King was to publish it in Madrid.—
The funds have been already nagociated
at 70 francs.
ratua, Governor of the Piovmtfo, and negoti
ations were to be immediately entered into
with Ramirez. Already friendly communi
cations had passed between the present com
mander of the Buenos Ayrcnn troops, Gen.
F.stanislaus Soler and Gen. Ramirez. The
Constitution will be revised, and it is expect
ed, a Federative Government established,
which has long been the wish of the other
province ; but some time will elapse before
the political commotions in that part of S.
America will be settled, or the people be
come qualified to appreciate the blessings of
rational liberty.
It would appear that this civil war lias
been rather a personal one of Putrn/don : lie
co-operating with the Portuguese to annihi
late Artigas, who is defending the country a-
gainst the unjust cncronchmrnts of the Por
tuguese, into the territory railed the 1 Banda
Oriental,’ which for many years they have
been desirous of possessing.—Herald.
MILLKDGEVILLE, Tuesday, Mav 9
LY SENATE—Monday, April 34.
The following resolutions, submitted
by Mr. Morril on the 21st inst. were ta
ken up for consideration.
Resolved, That the practice of Duel
ing is inhuman, immoral and censurable
Resolved, That the President of the
United States would he justifiable in
striking from the rolls of the army and
navy the names of all persons thereon,
who have been or hereafter may be, di
rectly or indirectly engaged in a duel,
° r who may have been, or hereafter may
he, in any way or manner accessary
thereto.
The resolution having been read, Mr
Morril, proceeded, in a speech of consi
derable length, to support the principles
''fiiir.h were laid dqwn in the resolutions.
"hen he had concluded,
Mr. Williams of Tennessee moved to
. y Ihe resolutions on the table, belies
? n S. in regard to the first resolution, that
ft Was a waste of time to be arguing ab-
ftract propositions j that in regard to the
Fee, under the command of Gen. Ramirez
had attacked the Buenos Ayrean army un
der Gen. Rondeau, (the Director)on the 1st
of February, and defeated it. Ramirez,
With his army occupied a position within 32
leagues of Buenos Ayres.
The political affairs of the Province of Bu
enos Ayres were in a confused state—The
Government was, in fact, dissolved. An ef
fort had been previously made by the Con
gress aud Director (ad interim) to negotiate
with Hamirez, and had, for that purpose,
chosen deputies; but he refused to recognize
the authority of the Congress, or to treat
with the deputies, declaring however, that it
the people would appoint a new set of rulers
free of the influence of Puerryuon, lie was
ready to treat with them. Twelve electors
had been appointed, persons of great pro
bity and credit,.who had rc elected the Ca-
vilao: and had uhvatat i!vi> dc S»r-
C'/*’ So far from its being true, that the
treaty ceding the Floridas has been delivered
to our government ratified by Spain, as has
been confidently asserted in some of the nor
thern papers, we are correct in stating that it
is not even understood at Washington that
the Spanish Minister lias brought the treaty
confirmed by his sovereign—The reverse is
believed if not known to be the fact. The
real state of the business we. are well assured
is, that the ticic Minister of Spain having al
ready shewn a disposition to procrastinate,
government have signified to him that they
are done tcith discussion unless he delivers the
treaty,or Florida as a security for its ratifica
tion.
The late revolution in Spain it is supposed
will essentially change our attitude with that
power, nnd inay have tile effect to suspend
further proceedings, until Fives gets fresh in
structions under the new government.
05 s * The complete success of the revolu
tion in Spain, not less unexpected than plea
sing, opens an ample field for speculation
and conjecture. The power of Ferdinand is
prostrate. The people have every thing in
their own hands, and can mould the govern
ment into whatever form they please. Will
they prefer a limited monarchy, something
like that of Great Britain, or one less favora
ble to the liberty of the subject ?—So wed
ded are they to the trappings of royalty, that
a monarchical government, more or less des
potic, they will certainly have. Can we
hope for the abolition of the hateful inquisi
tion and the firm establishment of the liberty
of the press ? What important changes in
the moral and physical condition of Spain,
may not this event produce ? The Spanish
nation, formerly among the most warlike
and enterprising of Europe, aroused from
their apathy, may yet emulate, the, deeds of
their ancestors—awakened to i full sense of
their national degradation, a reaction may
take place that w ill form a memorable e;
in their history. How will the revolution in
the mother country aflect her American pos
essions ? And lastly, though to us nut the
least interesting enquiry is, bow will h influ
ence her councils iu regard to the United
States ?

District of Georgia, commenced sitting here on
Saturday lust; there appears to he not much
business before the Court, and it will probubly
adjourn in a day or two. The grand jury yes

bill, forchungiiigthe mode of disposing of
the Public Lands, so as that hereafter
they shall be offered for sale in half
quarter sections, the minimum price to
be one dollar and twenty-five cents, and
all to be paid in cash, has passed both
Houses of Congress, by great majorities,
and now wants only the signature of the
President to become n law.
The bill is to takeell'ect from the first
day of July next.—Nat. Int.
The Washington City Gazette of April
24, says—“ We have just been inform
ed, from a source on which we can rely,
that in consequence of an adherence of
the Spanish cabinet to the extensive
grants of Florida lands assigned to the
duke de Alagon, and Punon Rostro, not
having been relinquished in the treaty
of which Gen. Vives is the bearer to
our Government, and which we are told
had been signed by Ferdinand, that the
President of the United States has not
only rejected the treaty, but also refused
to receive Gen. Vives as the minister
from Spain. These facts are expected
to be communicated to Congress forth

TO THE EDITORS.
“ Washington, April 23.
1 In relation to Spanish Affairs, l am
informed that the new minister has not
yet developed his views. The govern
ment is disposed to urge it to a speedy
conclusion ; but judging from the past,
and being fully satisfied that Spain gains
every thing by delay, I am persuaded
that ihc negociation will be procrastinat
ed as long as possible. It seems general
ly to be believed that our government
would accept the old treaty with expla
natory clauses. How this may be I know
not. fn fact f gather the above informa
tion entirely from rumor.
“ 1 he fate of the Tariff is very un
certain. All attempts heretofore made
to postpone it have proved fruitless.—
We have gone through its various de
tails in two days, and the majority have
resisted all efforts uttimcndment. The
increased duties on molasses and salt
are very unpalatable to the northern
members, and have I trust given them
a distaste to the bill,...This may tend to
defeat it. On Saturday, Mr. Tyler sub
mitted a motion to strike out tbe first
section, after which the house adjourn
ed ; and to-morrow he will open the de
bate, which it is expected will terminate
in three or four days.

To avoid the delay which might arise
front the doubts entertained by the coun
cil in execution of my decree of yester

Savannah, April 28,
Execution—Agreeably to appointment
the awful sentence of the law was this
day, at half past 12 o’clock, performed
upon John Hobson alias John Furlong,
(but lias denied both these names) con
victed of murder and piracy. The ce
remonies on the occasion were solemn
and impressive—the terrible and igno
minious end of this unfortunate man, who
lias thus expiated his crimes on the scaf
fold, must serve as a striking example
to prevent the commission of similar of
fences. He was a Roman Catholic and
received great attention from the Rev.
Mr. Gallagher.
The conduct of Furlono, during the
period of his being brought from the goal,
until he was executed, was marked with
a degree of firmness seldom witnessed
un such an occasion. He walked to the
gallows with great boldness, where he
knelt and prayed for some time, aided
by the priest. He resigned life with
the greatest composure :—St apparently
with a confident hope of pardon for his
sins:—For such was his coolness, when
be ascended the scaffold, the executioner
tied but a single knot upon tbe rope-
The culprit remarked that he did not
understand bis business, thnt the knot
would slip and desired him to take two
half/mc/tes upon it ; when this was done,
be saiil that w ill do ! The marshal ask
ed him if he had any tiling to say ? He
addressed the crowd and said, he hoped
those nrouud him would take warning by
his unfortunate fate, and think twice be
fore they acted once. It is supposed
his neck was broke when he dropped, as
he died very suddenly. The crowd of
spectators was immense, and the scene
impressive.
Since sentence was passed upon him,
lie has appeared to have been devoutly
engaged in preparing himself for the aw
ful change, lie has not pretended to
deny the justice of his sentence.
He has never made any disclosure,
which was satisfactory, either of his
name, connexions, or residence; and it
is believed he did not wish his relations
should ever know his fate. There is
but little doubt, from his dialect, that he
was horn iu Ireland.
Furlong appeared to possess a strong
mind, and we trust that lie was sincerely
penitent. He expired without a strug
gle. The body remained suspended
about half an hour, when it was taken
down and interred. We cannot but hope
that this awful exhibition and example
will have the beneficial effect of deter
ring others from similar crimes.
Tins was also the day fixed for the
execution of Ralph Clintock, David
Bower and He.vrv Matthews for the
crime of piracy; but the executive of the
UuiteJ States has respited them till the
middle of June next.—Republican.
The sword voted to Col. Richard M.
Johnson, by a resolution of Congress,
in testimony of their high sense of his
gallantry aud good conduct, in the deci
sive battle on the Thames, in Upper Ca
nada, during the late war with Great
Britain, was presented to that gentleman
yesterday by the President of the Uni
ted States. The Heads of Departments,
and many Members of both Houses of
Congress attended to witness an honor
not less distinguished than it in deserved.
On presenting to Colonel Johnson this
mark of his country's approbation, the
President addressed him as follows :
Sir—1 now perforin an office which is
very gratifying to my feelings. In the
late war, ofir country was assailed on
every side ; on the whole Atlantic coast,
and inland frontiers ; and in many quar
ters at the same time. Honored by your
fellow citizens, you then held a station
iu the public councils which afforded
you an opportunity to render services
with which a patriotism, less ardent
would have been satisfied. But you re
paired to the field, at the head of a regi
rnent of volunteers,,nnd met the enemy at
formidable. At the head of that corps,
and well supported by it, you fought with
heroic gallantry, and essentially contri
buted to the victory which was obtained.
Your country is grnteful for these ser
vices, and in compliance with a resolu
tion of Congress, I present to you this
sword, as a testimonial of its high regard.
To which Col. Johnson replied :
Mr. President—With sentiments of un
feigned gratitude to the National Legis
lature, far the testimonial of their appro
bation, aud to you, sir, lor the cordiality
w ith which it is presented, I accept the
donation, ns the richest reward of a sol
dier’s merit—but not w itliOut a deep sense
of the slender claim which I have to such
distinguished honor. Conscious of the
forbearance of our country under a con
tinued repetition of injuries, it became
my duty, when the last resort of notions
was adopted, to contribute, with our fel
low citizens, my personal services, in vin
dicating our common rights ; and it was
my good fortune to be placed at the head
of a corps, whose valor was eqllnl to the
occasion, nnd who would have done ho
nor to any leader. Their worth supplied
my deficiency ; and it w ill ever give me
pleasure to regard this, as a token of tbeir
merit. Unworthy as 1 am of this distinc
tion, 1 derive great consolation from the
elevated character of the illustrious body
under whose resolution you act, which is
much encreased by a recollection of the
Revolutionary services and (he exalted
reputation of the individual designated to
carry it into effect.—Nat. Int.
one of the points, where lie was most gality?
■Washington, April 25.
The Deficiency in the Revenue of the
country, which now requires the aid of a
Loan, is not of an amount, taken into com
parison with our actual resources, and our
animal expenditure, to excite a moment’s
uneasiness. It lias been, moreover, so long
a matter of calculation, that the annunciation
of an intended loan can have excited no sur
prise, unless at the smallness of its amount.
Such as it is, however, :l has set the old
leaven of Federalism to fermenting ; and in
a New-York paper of the ultra-federal cast,
the necessity of a loan is ascrilied to prodi
gality of expenditure by the Republican Ad
ministration. Without stopping to notice
the ill grace with which objections to a loan
come from those, one of whose cardinal prin
ciples is, or was, that a public debt is a public
blessing, let us see how* the imputation of
prodigality is sustained.
To t his end, let us ask, what has been the
immediate cause of this deficiency ? Has it
been any thing that these Ultras will disap
prove ?
it is trim, that, owing to the stagnation of
commerce, our revenue from imports is not
so productive as in former years it had been.
It is yet of sufficient amount, however, to
have met all the authorised demands on the
Treasury, for expenditures of every descrip
tion, sat e one. That one is the Revolutiona
ry Pension List, which requires an annual
exjienditure greater than the amount of the
proposed loan, and very nearly equal to the
actual deficiency of means, of the present
year—which deficiency would never have
existed, but for past expenditures under the
Pension Law. Is it to this expenditure, that
the charge of prodigality of expenditure is to
apply? It is enough to say, that the expendi
ture was sanctioned, Ik. the abolition of it has
been vehemently opposed, by those who
now prefer an accusation which iias no bet
ter foundation than this.
But, suppose the Revenue had fallen short,
by more than the annual amount of this Pen
sion list, let us see whether even then the
Administration is liable to the reproach
which is cast upon it.
Almost one-half of our annual expenditure,
viz: ten millions of dollars, goes to what is
called the Sinking Fund ; out of which is
paid so much ns is necessary to defray the
interest of the Pubiick debt, and the remain
der annually applied to the redemption of
the principal of that debt. This is tile Re
publican |>o!icy ; and is it this—this expen
diture of one half ibe amount of our annual
income, to pay oft’ a debt contracted, first,
in the establishment of the Independence
of our Government, and, secondly, in main
taining it, that is called prodigal ?
Wc shall be glad to understand, if not by
those we have mentioned, to what branch
of the public expendit ure, at the present day,
this epithet of prodigality is applied, by
those who now throw it in our teeth. Some
there are, we know, who believe wc ought
to have no Army, <>r one very reduced in
numbers; but it is not the ultras wilo hold
that opinion. If tliu question were present
ed to them, we are persuaded they would
unanimously oppose its reduction. If then
an Army be maintained, it is enough that
the administration of our Military affairs is
at present economical, and the expense of
the. cstaMishiuent, so far from increasing, is
growing daily less, as experience points out
where the hand of retrenchment awl reform
may he safely and prudently applied.
To tbe annual expenditure for the Navy,
we have heard no objection, whatever differ-
nec of opinion there may have existed as to
the mode of employment of a part of it.—
Is it, them, to the additional expenditure of
one million of dollars annually, for eight
years, for ship timber, that objection is made ?
Or to the two hundred thousand dollars au-
nually appropriated for providing lor arming
the Militia ? Whatever these expenditures
may be, they arc certainly not prodigal, nor
the result of the short-sighted policy imputed
ti the government. Such measures arc the
fruit of wisdom. To provide, in due season,
that which, when need comes, cannot be
gotten in haste, is true economy as well as
wisdom.
The same may be said of the annual ex-
lenditure of nearly a million of dollars for
Fortifications, for the permanent maritime
defence. For the want of them, our waters,
during the last war, became the unmolested
resort of the British Navy, and our shores
the scene of the enemy’s depredations. Is
it not wise, while you may, to provide a-
gaiust tlie recurrence ufevils which have been
thus once experienced ?
Deduct the expenditures for the objects
wc have enumerated, to noue of which will
the Ultras venture specifically to object, and
what expenditure remains, to winch the
charge of prodigality can attach ? Why,
the sum of about tivo millions and a half of
dollars, not as much in amount as the reve
nue derived, in the last year, from the sales
of Public Lands alone, and about one tenth
of the whole amount of the revenue. This
sum covers all the Civil and Diplomatic ex.
penditures of the government, including mis
cellaneous charges aud contingent ex peaces,
and even the ex ponce of carrying on the
Public Buildings. Here, surely, is no p:m!i
