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. wise, letters from Daniel Coker, who| portant pointi of tlw* national policy.

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. Gr.onoF.TowN, (D. C.) Jap. lit.

Rv the schooner Haunch .inn, arrived on Tuesday from St. Augustine, we learn that a recent arrival at that place, from Havana, brought dispatches from the Go « ruor and Admir d of Cuba, to their subordinate officers there, which were supposed to convey orders to prepare for an immediate evacuntron. r l he Go vernor also received dispatches, upon the tenor of which lie was sajd to he re served.
