CITATION OT THE COMMONWEALTH
On Monday, Mr. Selden, from the se
lect committee to whom was referred so
much of the Governor’s Message as re
fers to the fact of the Commonwealth’s
being summoned to appaur at a Supreme
Court of the United States at Washing
ton on the 1st Monday in February, made
i long Report to the House of Delegates.
The reader will bear in recollection that
thi* summons was in the case of Philip
J. and Mondez Cohen in Norfolk, who
were stated to have violated a law of the
commonwealth in vending lottery tickets
of a lottery of the District of Columbia ;
the rase was carried by them before the
Chief Justice of the United States, who
awarded a summons which was served
upon the Governor of this State. The
I'Inintifi in error must have gone upon the
idea, that the lottery in question could
not be considered as a foreign lottery in
relation to Virginia, that it was authoriz
ed by the General Government, and was
to be no-extensive, witli the Union ; a
national lottery, and as such not liable to
the l.Hi regulation of any ofthe slates.
The Report submitted to the Legisla
ture was read yesterday, and ordered to
be printed, It is intended to deny any
right in Congress, as entrusted with an
authority to legislate for the District of
Columbia, to establish such a lottery as
would overleap in contempt the barriers
of the State powers—and also to deny
any authority in the Federal Judiciary
to cite a State before its tribunals, to an
swer to any complaint which may be
brought against her. The Report is long
—it embraces a variety of illustrations;
and presents the w hole subject in a stri
king point of view. The following is
the general conclusion to which the Re
port conducts us:
“ From this impartial view of the sit
uation of the American colonies before
their independence ; of the effects of
that independence ; of the import and
origin of the articles of confederation ;
of the true meaning of that prov ision in
the present constitution which confers
judicial powers on the federal tribunal
and from the cotemporaneotisexpositions
of the federal compact by our greatest
constitutional jurists and our purest pat
riots, sanctioned and endeared as they
have been since by many of our wisest
judges and most virtuous statesmen, the
Committee think themselves entitled to
conclude as the result of the whole, that
there is no rightful power in the federal
legislature to abrogate taxes imposed un
der the authority of u state ; nor, in the
federal judiciary to arraign the sover
eignty of a Commonwealth before any
tribunal, hut that which resides in the
majesty of the people.'’
The follow ing are the Resolutions with
which the Report concludes :
•* Resolved therefore, that the Supreme
Court of the United States have no right
ful authority, under tiie constitution, to
examine and correct the judgment for
which the Commonwealth of Virginia
has been 'cited and admonished to bo
and appear at the Supreme Court ofthe
United Stales’ ; and that the General
Assembly do hereby enter their most so
lemn protest against the jurisdiction of
that court over the matter.
Resolved, that the executive depart
ment of the government transmit a copy
of (his Report and Resolutions to each of
the Counsel employed to appear before
tho Supreme Court on behalf of this Com
monwealth ; and also a copy to each of
he Senators and representatives of this
State in the Congress of the U. S.”
The first Resolution presents a ques
tion of transcend.int importance ; in com
parison of which, this “Aa/ional Lotte
ry," or ‘‘■Grand National Lotteryor
“ Grand National Canal Lottery," (as
some ofthe Lottery ticket sellers delight
to puff it,) sinks into nothing. It pre
sents one ofthe most important questions
in the whole range of the Judiciary De
partment. The principle w hich it as
serts seems to he essential to the exist
ence and preservation of State Right-,
and the true foundation of our political
system.—Compiler.
From the Dedham Register.
FEMALE TENSIONER.
We were much gratified to learn, that
during the sitting of the Court in this town
the past week, Mrs. Cennitt, of Sharon, in
this county, presented for renewal, herd.urns
far services rendered her country as a soldier
in the Revolutionary army. The following
brief sketch, it is presumed, will not be un
interesting. This extraordinary woman is
now in the 82d year ot her age; she posses
ses a clear understanding, and a general
knowledge of liaising events; fluent in speech,
and delivers her sentiments in correct lan
guage, with deliberate and measured accent
f—eusy in her deportment, atlahle in her
manners, robust and masculine in her ap
pearance. Bite was about 1H years of age
when our revolutionary struggle commenc
ed. The patriotic sentiments which inspired
the heroes of those days urging them to bat
tle, found their way to a female bosom.—
The news of the carnage which had taken
place oil the plains ot Lexington had reach
ed her dwelling. The sound of the cannon
at the battle of BunUerbill, had vibrated on
her ears: yet instead of diminishing her ar
dor, it only iprved to increase her enthusi
asm in the snered enu«e of liberty, in which
cause she beheld her country- engaged. She
privately quitted her peaceful linme and the
habiliments ofher sex, and appeared at the
head-quarters of the American army as n
young man anxious to join his efforts to’ those
of his countrymen, in their endeavours to
oppose the inroads and encroachments of
tin 1 common enemy. She was received and
enrolled in the army by the name of Robert
ShurtliJI'e. For the space of three years she
performed the duties and endured the hard
ships and fatigues ufa soldier—during which
time she gained the confidence of her offi
cers by her expertness and precision in the
manual exercise,and by her exemplary con
duct. She was a volunteer in several ha
zardous enterprises, and w as twice wounded
by a musket ball. So well did she contrive
to conceal Iter sex, that her companions in
arms had not the least suspicion that the
“ blooming soldier" fighting by their sides
was a female ; till, at length, a severe wound,
which she received in buttle, and which bad
well nigh closed her ear’hly campaign, occa
sioned the discovery. On her recovery she
quitted the army and became intimate in the
families of General Washington, and other
distinguished officers of the revolution'. A
few years afterwards she was m.'rried to her
present husband, and is now the mother of
several children. Of these facts there can be
no doubt. There are many living witnesses
In this county, who recognized her on her
appearance at the Court, and were ready to
attest to her services. We often hear of
such heroines in other countries, hut this is
an instance in our own country and within
the circle of our acquaintance.

The Treaty with Spain.—Lillie room
is left fur doubt, by the urlicles furnished
by the late arrival in New-York from
England, that the Treaty between the
United States nud Spain has been at
length ratified by that power. Suppo
sing if to be so ratified, an interesting
question presents itself to onr govern
ment. .
The- Treaty has been ratified by the
Pretfjdcnt and Senate ofthe U. States.—
Rut the Treaty contained a clause bind
ing Spain to ratify it within a certain
time; That time is long ago elapsed.—
Is the Treaty now a Treaty, or will it re
quire to lie again submitted to tiie Sen
ate 1 If it lie not required to he submit
ted to the Senate, but may become the
law of the land by the Proclamation of
the President, has the Executive the
discretion to submit it to the Senate li
gnin or not. as policy may dictate ? If
he has, such a discretionary power, will
he exercise it ?
Our impressions, the result of conjee
ttflre merely, are, that the Treaty will
he again submitted to the Senate ; that,
it it is, there may be some opposition to
it, on the score ofthe Western boundary,
but that it w ill be ratified finally as it now
stands,—-Nat. Int.
New Year’s Dat.-—Yesterday the Pre
sidenf ofths United States was greeted, at
America. No war of modern times has been
waged with more ferocity or marked with
greater horrors than that of Spain and hei
colonies—Our revolutionary contest was in
deed had enough, but comparatively mild.
In Spanish America, death has been the com
mon fate of prisoners taken in buttle ; both
parties disgracing their arms by cruelties and
vicing with each other, not in acts of heroism
and generosity, but of savage barbarity.—
This shocking state of things is, we trust, at
an end—but how Spain and her late colonies
will settle their differences We can form no
idea. The mother country is not yet pre
pared we fear to acknowledge their in
dependence. Partially reconciled perhaps
by the change in the goverment of old Spahi
and tired of carnage, the revolutionists may
be content, on receiving an extension qf pri
vileges, to place themselves again under her
authority. This however is merely our-con
jecture, founded on the circumstance of the
proposition for the armistice being made by
the Patriots.
(jy* The collisions so frequently occur
ring between the State and Federal autho
rities cannot be viewed but with feelings of
regret. The Slates of Ohio and Virginia, on
distinct questions, are now at points with the
general government, or at least with her
highest tribunal, the Supreme Court.
07* The suppression of the monastic in
stitutions of Spain, and the appropriation of
their property to the support of the public
credit, is one of the strongest measures
doptud by the Cortes. It proves that tliey
will risk any consequences and are prepared
to go all lengths in regenerating their coun
try.

TO THE Knt^OH,
From Mathinglon, January 8.
M It is not easy to say what particular
mode for the admission of Missouri will ulti
mately he agreed upon between the two
houses, but I nm impressed with the opinion
she will be admitted during tire present ses
sion, and my anxieties oh that subject, which
have been great, have much abated; I mean
as to the apprehension of any very mischie
vous effects from the present state of things.
Mr. Williams’s resolutions were this day
postponed for one week in the Senate, upon
the ground, it is presumed, though nothing
was said on the subject, that the House be
ing in possession of the Senate’s resolution
fur the admission, it will be most proper for
the Senate to hear from them on the subject,
before they send them any thing further, it
being also understood the house will uct on
similar resolutions in n day nr two.

1' loridii Treaty has been ratified hy the Cor
tes, unconditionally, w liicli I think is the
fact. Clogging the ratification with any
clause relating to Ouha (as stated in a
