\ feis no truth in it, it is to support a facti-

f ' ,,n ® nt of a ver y respectable gentlemun
i V R Carrera—likewise the parting scene
bet cn the. husband, wife and daughters.—
It was enough to shock the stoutest heart,
to see three beautiful girls hanging on their
father, exhibiting all that endearment which
children owe to a parent—and the wife loo,
her heart was too full—she could not speak ;
her ryes seemed as though they would burst
lor Weeping—they were once in affluence,
now not worth n cent—their properly con
fiscated—their father banished, they know
not whero— and themselves obliged to re-
.main in a country amidst a host of foes, un
protected, and with scarcely a sufficiency to
support them. The. son is in prison: lie is
too young, as well as the father too old, to
do the government any iiljury. The unfor
tunnte. name huSTuinen them.
We have now on hoard our ship, a Mr.
F.ldiidge, of New-York, who was imprison
ed, and incommunicable, on suspicion only,
of having been engaged in a conspiracy a
gainst llie government some months ago
which however, was found out on the even
iog previous to liie day it was to have been
put into effect. Although sufficient proof of
iris innocence was produced before the su
preme director,still that tool of San Martin’s
(and his faction,) caused this young gentle
man to he placed in common prison, denied
the prrvilege of seeing any ofhis friends, and
obliged to suffer all lire indignities that were
lavishly heaped-upon him—nor would they
release him until captain Downes promised
lo land him in the United States, and with
out the privilege of going on shore during
our stay in the Pacific. What I have said
respecting the sailing of the squadron, may
he some information, if not to yourself, to
some of your friends—you are therefore at
t.beriy lo mention it as being strictly true.—
Perhaps it may, in some degrpe, be gratify
ing to my friends, to know that v.-e exppet
to be in the United States next April. We
nail next for Lima, from thence lo Valparai

An intelligent gentleman, recently from the
South of Europe, makes the following re
marks on the present state of Italy, &tc.
the result of his own observation.
It is difficult to ascertain correctly the
state of politics in a country where no one
dare speak of them and nothing is seen in
print but what the Government orders to be
put there, hut the general opinion seemed to
be, that an Italian wari3 likely to take place,
and the favourite rumors of the day were,
that the authority of the Pope has dwindled
into nothing, and his estates likely to fall a
sacrifice to the constitutional system ; to u-
void which he is said to have applied for as
sistance from Austria—On the other hand
the Neapolitans are said to have declared
their intention of entering the states of the
church, and marching direct upon Rome,
the moment an Austrian regiment enters the
territory, and it is universally stated that the
Neapolitans are arming, as it were en masse,
to repulse the invasion which to all appear
ance threatens them.
Austria is to have an army of 80,000 men;
Prussia is said to be marching CO,000 into I-
taly, and Russia is expected to take part in
the war, which, however, has not yet been
declared.
The lntc3t account from Naples states that
:dl was quiet in Sicily, hut the foreigners
there look with apprehension on the present
and future stalcof those countries, tz scarce
ly consider properly secure.
Portugal, Sicily and Naples arc already
free—in Sardinia and Savoy the fermenta
tion is said to be at its height, and it may
fairly he conjectured that the constitutional
mania Is likely to spread in despite of all the
efforts of the despotic monarchs.
It lias all along been the policy of Austria
to withdraw the native troops from Italy,
replacing them hy Austrians, who were very
illfrcccived, and nothing hut main force keeps
the country quiet—The public employments
arc also entrusted to Germans.
The Carbonari are a secret fraternity, in
stituted at the time the French were in pos
session of Italy for tho purpose of procuring
their expulsion, and the consequent freedom
•if the country ; their views not being diiect-
'•d to any particular state, but aiming at the
independence of Italy. At this day they
arc very numerous and powerful and their
influence extends to all parts of the country.
It is supposed that Prussia is by no means
•in a settled state.

Extract from the Report of the Com
mittee of Finance of the Spanish Cor
tes-—Submitted, 31st October, 11)20.
“ i lie Cories in their daily and pro
longed discussions have made manifest to
t he nation, the principles of equity and
justice by which they have been uni-
lorudy guided. If in all branches of the
a Mulic Kconomy, they have encountered
difficulties to appearance insuperable,
m that ol the finances, obstacles have
presented themselves, of magnitude suf
ficient to defy any human agency save
the National Legislature. Contribu
tions levied without order or concert ;
arbitrary and unequal taxes, unceasing
vexation in the levy, and a great accu
mulation of injuries and evils conse
quent upon such abuses, had reduced
the wretched people to the alternative
°'} 'riding up life, or resisting the excess
ol the burdens laid upon them. This
most vicious and complicated adniinislra-
tion, the immorality ofits agents, and the
injustice of the System itself in all its
parts, hud struck such deep root, that to
tear them up at once would have been to
risk the utter subv ersion of the whole
edifice of state.
“ B"t by the forecast and wisdom of
the cortes, the ways and means for the
present year are so regulated, that the
wants of the treasury will be supplied,
while relief will be afforded to the peo
ple. The public burdens are considera
bly reduced, and great reforms are pre
pared for the ensuing year ; monopolies
will lie abolished ; the system of tythes
w ill lie modified ; already the customs
are methodized and determined, so that
commerce may recover from the mortal
decline, in which it has so long languish
ed. It may b* affirmed that the princi
pal contributions of the people to the
government for the current year, have
been reduced to one half of the amount
paid the last. The public expenses are
greatly diminished, being contracted with
in the limits of the provision strictly ne
cessary for the maintuiriance of domestic
order and external dignity.
It will be scon by an article which we
copy from the National Intelligencer,
that no doubt is entertained at Washing
ton, that the Florida Treaty, as ratified
by the Spanish Government, will be re
ceived by ours—presuming of course,
that no new demands or provisos have
been annexed to it. The same presump
tion arises from the tenor of a letter in
reference it, published in our last. Ne
vertheless we do predict that there will
be an attempt, at least, on the part of the
Spanish Minister to obtain some reserve
tion, or screw out of our Government
something in the shape of a bonus for the
transfer.
We are led to this belief from the fol
lowing facts which have just come to our
knowledge.
Although the Treaty has passed the
Cortes in the manner stated, with only
the dissenting voices of the Cuba Depu
ties, Gen. Vives is instructed to obtain
the most he can for the advantage of
Spnim The grants to Alagon, &c. are
abandoned, it is true, but an appeal is to
t e made to the liberality of the United
States lo indemnify some Spanish losses
produced by it. And pari passu (recor
ding to diplomatic phraseology) with this
measure of apparent sincerity and equita
ble justice on the part of tbe Cortes, a
political essay on the subject appeared in
the government paper in Madrid, repre
senting the ratification of the Treaty, in
the most reproachful language, as dis
graceful to the King and ruinous to the
nation, and indulging in epithets of the.
most inflammatory and vituperative vio
lence against tho government of the Uni
ted States. The writer betrays nn offi
cial intimacy with ;.!1 the circumstances
of the treaty, and pours out the exuber
ance of his spleen with no slight glow of
forensic declamation. lie sarcastically
remarks, “ The Cortes have ratified the
Florida Treaty, and given instructions to
make the most of it for the benefit cl’ the
Spanish nation
The British Minister at Madrid, it is
said, affects tube pleased at the decision
of the cortes in the case of the treaty
but some ill-natured people about the
Spanish Court have dared to insinuate,
that ilia article we here alluded to did
not see the light without tho influence of
his chastening vision.—But this is u scan
dalous world.
\Vc also hear that a pamphlet on the
Florida treaty, from the pen of the late
Spanish Minister in this country, Don
Onis, has made its appearance in Madrid,
in which our government is not treated
altogether with that civility which was
said to have been characteristic of Ids
Excellency while in Washington.

RECORDER.
MILLEDGEVILLE, Tuesday, January 30.
(U* The Florida Treaty bad not arrived
at Washington as late as the 15th Instant,
but was daily expected, as was also our Mi
nister from Spain Mr. Forsyth. Speeulali-.
oils are afloat, wo understand, among the
great men of the Nation, as to what shall lie
done with Florida w luffs tbe treaty shall be
re-sanctioned by our government. Some of
tbe Northern members of Congrrss very li
berally suggest the idea of adding it to Geor
gia. Their object no doubt is.to prevent its
becoming a state, by which the South would
get two more Senators in Congress.—
Were it not prudent to counteract this ob
ject, it would be a question of doubtful poli
cy whether the people of this state should de
sire the. annexation of Florida—For many
years we should have to incur great expense,
which would not within any reasonable time
be replaced hy the revenue derivable from
taxation—the public lands we. would not be
entitled to—indeed they may be considered
as already pledged for the payment of claims
dpo hy Spain to our citizens. Besides, our
state will be quite large enough when the
Indian title to all the lands within its limits
shall be extinguished ; and our citizens know
too well the inconvenience of defending an
extensive frontier, to wish that frontier in
creased to a vast extent, and in a quarter too,
where the population, from the nature of the
country, can never be very considerable.
ffjr* We have heard a rumour, that after
the Treaty lately concluded with tho Creek
Indians shall be ratified by the Senate of the
United States, the Legislature of this state
will be convened to dispose of the lands ac
quired by that treaty—whether there be any
foundation fur the rcpoit, we know not.
07-By a l ettcr from Washington City
we learn, there is no well founded hope that
Missouri w ill come into the Union this year.
She is now rejected (says our correspondent)
on a mere pretext, such as can be found in
dozens by men of less sense IhIVn those who
now oppose hur. The resolution of Dr. Eus-
tis fur conditional admission will not be tak
en up until the question of reducing the army
has been disposed of.
C'r’ Retrenchment, although strenuously
opposed in Congress, is becoming the order
of tbe day with the State Legislatures—In
Virginia, a bill has passed the House of Re
presentatives reducing the salaries of officers,
(with the exception of Judges, whose com
pensation cannot be reduced)generally, from
—0 to 20 percent,and some more than fifty
per cent. Such a change, conforming lo
the existing state of things, appears to us not
at all improper. Most of the articles raised
by tlte planter, were never at a lower price.
Whilst the pressure is necessarily great on
the bulk of the people, we can discover no
good reason why a proportionable share of it
should not be borne by those in office.
The Southern Armistice, which we
have with so much pleasure presented to
our readers, was followed by a Treaty
for the regulation of war, a copy of whicli
has reached this country in the Carrac-
caa Gazette of Dec. G, from which it i
translated into the National Gazette.—
The first article is as Follows :
“ 1st. The war between Spain and
Colombia shall be prosecuted hencefor
ward as war is carried on hy civilized
nations, in all cases in which the prac
tices of the latter do not clash with any
of the articles of the present treaty,
which is to serve as the primary and in-
Wn have lately received the two first num
bers of the “ Montgomery Republican," pub
fished by J. Rnttell-, a very respectable looking
newspaper, from which the following descrip
tion of the town in a whicli it is printed, is ex
traded :
The town of Montgomery, the shire town
of tile county of the same name, is situated
on a high bluff on the East side of the Alaba
ma river, over against the liigJieml, (so cal
led.)—It extends one mile along the river,
and about tile same distance back from the
water. From the top of ;ho Bluff, which in
some places is one hundred feet above low
watermark, the land rises gradually, until it
terminates in high and romantic hills, the
prospect from which is beautiful arid sub
lime—a meandering river, verdant meadows,
well cultivated farms, rude, forests, and lofty
mountains. Tile place is well supplied with
pure water by springs and wills, and is es
teemed healthy. Its present population is a-
limit fioo, collected from almost every State
in the. Union. This town is well situated for
commerce, being at the head of safe steam
boat navigation, end in the midst of a very
fertile country. There are many respecta
ble mercantile establishments; ;uid barges
carrying from file hundred to one thousand
barrels, are constantly plying between this
and Mobile. Trie main post road from Mi!-
ledgeville to Cahnwba, passes through this
town, and it possesses many other local ad
vantages.
When the contemplated improvements in
the navigation of the. Coosa shall have been
effected, and tbe fine country in the vicinity
become thickly populated, events neither dis
tant nor uncertain, Montgomery will proba
bly increase and flourish beyond almost unv
town on tbe Alabama,

THE TREATY.
The ratified treaty betw een the. Uni
ted States and Spain was received by the
Spanish Consul in Philadelphia on Tues
day last. Air. Meade left there the fol-
IV a 1 ni E cm ;r, J a ii i iaj y 10.
Wo hid supposed that tin Missouri sub
ject would have liftm again i iken up jester* I
day, and finally di-posed of in mine shape
or other. But, that the debate on the will- j
ject of the At my might not be unseasonably *
interrupted, Mr. Euslis contented himself'
with calling up his motion, ami having it re
ferred lo n committee of the whole on tho
State ofthc Union, which disposition of it
places it in his power to move, at any time for
the consideration of it. The same, course
was then taken with the resolution from the
Senate, on the same subject, whicli contains
nn exception, the nature of which all atten
tive readers will recollect, of any part of tile
constitution, if there he any part of the con
stitution, of Missouri, which is contrary to
the constitution of the United States.
We have for some time thought, that the
present session of Congress will lie produc
tive of few measures pf a leading character.
There may ho some reduction of the Army;
some modification of the expenditure for
the increase of the Navy; the usual appro
priation acts, nnd an net for a loan, of a great
er or less amount, must pass—but there will
lie few other laws passed of a general nature.
The passage of some of the hills depetidm;:,
and those, in our view, the most desirable, is
rendered hopeless by the agitation of this
unfortunate question respecting Missouri.—
With respect to others, tlte sentiment of
Congress is so nearly equally divided, that
an indisposition to legislate at all, though
that feeling should he limited to very Jew,
may incline the scale against the measures
proposed. That there is such an indisposi
tion, arising from the apprehension of over
much legislation, has been, wo think, appa
rent during I he session—nnd tho procrastina
tion of a discussion on the Missouri subject
has had no tendency to lesson it.—A'at. Int.
MASSACHUSETTS CONVENTION.
Boston, January 10.
The closing scene.—Last, evening about 8
o’clock, the Convention ofl/iis state was ad
journed without day. Tin;ever, ig scene was
most solemnly impressive. The galleries
and avenues of the Hull were crowded, and
the attendance of the members full. The
report ofthc committee on the amendments
were made about, six o’clock, arid during the
two hours occupied in their reading and a-
doplinn, the utmost silence prevailed. Tho
amendments were fourteen in number, each
a separate article. They were all first read
hy tile Secretary, and some verbal amend
ments adopted; They were then read sepa
rately, and on each, the question was thus
i iutbythe President, shall this amendment
c submitted to the people for their adoption
and ratification? On most of the amend
ments the votes were unanimous ; and on
each of the residue there were only one or
two, and at most six dissentients, excepting
on the amendment respecting Harvard Col
lege, on which a division was called, and tin
numbers were for passing the. amendment
187. Against it 61, After all the amend
ments Had been adopted, the Rev. Mr. Fos
ter, of Littleton, on the invitation ofthc Pre
sident, addressed the Throne of Grace in a
fervent, impressive, nnd pertinent ascription
of praise, and, on motion of Gen. Ynrnum,
the Convention was adjourned, amidst the'
cordial and mutual congratulations of the
Delegates, on the auspicious close of their
labours.

Yesterday, the Legislature had under
discussion, bill No. 10, for reduction of
fees, salaries, i$r. The first section en
acted that after the passage of said law,
the members’ wages should be reduced
to 3 dollars u day, and fifteen cents a mile
for travelling expenses. Mr. Porter mov
ed to make the bill read two dollars a
day and ten cents a mile. Mr. Wurts
moved to amend the motion, to make it
read from the commencement of the ses
sion instead of from the passage of this
law. Mr. Todd contenJed that this was
unconstitutional as it impaired the obli
gation of a contract. After a spirited
discussion of about nn hour and upwards,
jn which Messrs. Todd, Porter, Ander
son. Coulter, Wurts, Weaver nnd Einlen
took part, the house adjourned without
coming to a decision.

FROM THE ARKANSAS OA7.RTTB.
ARKANSAS.
Our Territory is rapidly emerging from
the sable gloom which so long shrouded and
concealed its merits from the citizens of the
United States—and is beginning to assume
n character which must ultimately equal that
of any other section of the Union.
AV« cannot consider the geographical situ
ation of Arkansas, and its topographical,
without yielding at once to a belief that it is
in a very short time, to become one of the
brightest stirs of the Union. Its fame
spreads as if by the four winds of the earth,
and courts to its liusom the intelligent and
enterprising. Scarcely a day passes that we
lo not see new faces in our village. Men from
every quarter of the Union, and of every
profession, flock to the fertile and salubrious
Inins of Arkansas. The wilderness, which,
ut a short time since was the asylum of the
buffalo, and the retreat ofthc marauding sa
vage, at present presents a rich repast to the
philosophic mind. I,urge Helds of corn,
cotton and tobacco, have usurped the domi
nions of those sons of nature, under the in
fluence of the hand of civilized man—and
the earth is made to perform the offices for
which she was intended by the God of nn
tore. Heretofore we have labored under
many disadvantages from the lands not be
ing brought into market—but of that evil we
shall not long have to complain. "With the
opening of the spring, we anticipate a sale of
public lands—when the most, indent citi
zen among us, from the low price at which
the lands are now By law to no offered for
sale, can possess liimselfof a freehold estate.
This i. a liles.ing which is known to very
few nations ofthc world, and is peculiar to
our form of government. How strongly il
lustrative is this of the wisdom that dictated
our Constitution—and how plainly it shows
the just and liberal policy which our govern
ment has ever observed towards her citizens.

CEREMONY OF A RUSSIAN MARRIAGE.
Ofali nations, the Russians behave the
most wisely in the circumstance of jealousy.
The wifo promises her husband never to let
him see her transgressions—and he as punc
tually promises, whenever sins is detected,
without the least anger, to beat tier without
men y—so they Both know what each is to
expect. The lady transgresses, is beaten,
taken again into favor, and all goes on us be
fore. When a Russian young lady, there
fore, is to he married, her lathe,', with a
cudgel in his baud, asks the bridegroom whe-
r he chooses this virgin (or his bride r—to
which the other repliosrin the affirmative.—
Upon wbichthe. fattier, turning the lady three
tunes round, and giving her three strokes
tli the cudgel on the back, *• My Dear,”
crit-s he, “ these are. the last blows you lire
iver to receive from your tender lather, l
resign my authority and my cudgel to your
husband ; ho knows better than me the use
of cither.” The bridegroom knows deco
rum too well to accept the cudgel abruptly ;
lie therefore assures tile father that the lady
will never want ii, and that lie would not for
thu world p^ulie any use. of it. But the fa
ther who knows what the lady might want
better than Be did, insists upon Bis acceptance.
Upon this, there follows a scene of Russian
politeness, while one offers and the other re
fuses the cudgel. Tho whole, however,
ends with the bridegroom's taking it, upon
which the lady drops a courtesy in token of
obedience, and the ceremony proceeds as
usual.
