Chamber, deserves the most seme
terms of reprehension with which it cun
he branded. It was charged upon him
ns a crime, that he had not been snfliei-
cntly prompt in commencing the open
massacre of the Spaniards, who were
forming for themselves a Constitutional
government; and this charge he refilled
by stating, that though he had not, in
deed, invaded Spain openly, lie had se
cretly fomented rebellion there, mid
hail paid and organized the Spanish re
bels. Wo can hardly contemplate the
treachery, the cruelty, and the general
atrocity of this conduct without horror ;
fur it is to be observed, that the same
man and his friends who stirred up and
excited these troubles in Spain, alledged
their existence as a proof that the Span
iards were disunited, and as a reason for
invading the Peninsula ! And this is M.
de Villelc and the French Ministry—
friends of religion !—Times.
We understand that accounts have
been received from Lord Fitzroy Somer
set at Madrid, dated ou the 2fftb and 30th
of la*t month. According to previous
private letters, it was supposed that his
lordshp would have quitted Madrid forth
with ; hut these accounts slate, that he
had been induced to think his further
stay might be beneficial, and therefore,
lie had determined to remain longer at
Madrid. The French minister., Lagnr-
de, before he left Madrid, communicated
to a Secret Committee of the Cortes the
determination of his government to en-
sc, s V iin with an army of 100,000 men,
which commutm.nUon said to have
induced the Spanish government to
strengthen itself by nn alliance with
popular though moderate persons at Mad
rid. Hence the reports of a change in
the Spanish ministry to which we allud
ed yesterday.
Livmront, February 16.
“ Tlie demand for Cullon lias been very ex-
tensive during the last week, the sales amount
ing to about 10,1100 bales. I’rices are full an

willing to meet the demand, yet they require
the extreme quotations of the day ; and should
war lake place, might probably lie unwilling

“ The great ndegnccs of this Islam!
may be said to have begun about the
year 10U0 ; then its commerce was open
to nil nations. SVncc which its rapid in-'
crease defies calculation. The Island
owes its present prosperity to the great
inllux of foreigners, of which the United
States claim the greatest proportion. Her
citizens are. to be found here as Mer
chants, Agriculturalists, Artizans, Me
chanics, and a numerous body who itin
erate to and from the Island. Of the
class termed agriculturalists, the vicinity
of Matanzas alone furnishes between
forty and fifty, who cultivate nearly as
many plantations, which sire valued at
no less than three millions of dollars,
the total. In the district of Havana
there may be found a much larger nuin
her of subjects belonging to the United
States. There are besides many who
reside remote from these districts who
are not included.
The political government is vested
in a Captain Oeneral, or Governor.
The Ecclesiastical iu nn Arch Bishop,
i'he Civil has its authorities subordinate
to neither. Abuses, such as unlawful ex
actions, want of good faith, and mime
roiis evils (the common result in all go
vernments where the fees of office ex
ceed the labor) are too often found here.
A radical change in the judiciary de
partment may be soon looked for under
the more salutary and enlightened ad
ministration of the Cortes. There ap
pears also a want of energy, more than
ot will, on the part of the military to sup
press grievances, which not only deep
ly affects the interest and character of
the people here, but serves as a terror
to all who approach the coast. There
is no word in the Spanish vocabulary as

ISLAND OF CUBA.
This invaluable island lias recently be
come an object of much political as well as
commercial observation ; but the recent re
port, that Great Britain has been in negotia
tion with Spain for its cession to her, I resides
being demi-ollicially contradicted, appears
to have been one of the numerous specula
tions of w hich the newspaper soil of France
sod England is morn prolific, than that of
Cuba is of sugar and coffee. The following
communication gives much information res
pecting Cuba, not generally known ; and is
from a quarter entitled to the utmost confi
dence.—Boston Centincl.
[roMMr-.vtcATFD ror. the cextinwi. ]
fries of Observations made by an Ameri
can resident in the. Island of Cuba, and
communicated to a friend in the United
States.
“ Official papers are difficult of access;
this • j 11 account for many inaccuracies,
end false impressions, concerning the po
pulation and commerce of this Island.—
/on w ill scarcely believe, that a colony
;ntlus section of whatever nation, has a
less number of slaves than freemen.—
Such is the happy situation of Cuba.—
The total population is about eight hun
dred thousand—promiscuously settled
over a surface of about six hundred
miles in length, and a medium of fifty
broad—all of which is arable, with the
exception of a chain of mountains, thro’
unpunished. As the population increas
es, there will fie a proportionable in
crease ol the Canaille, in which vice
will find its votaries ; a government ol
more energy will be required ; the peo
ple will demand it ; and although the
coast is now infested by sen robbers, it
is believed, (that by the aid of foreign
fleets) the evil will be done away ; and
once done away the authorities will then
keep them in better subjection.
“ I he people of (lie Island are very
submissive to its political government.—
I will not say they arc more so than com
ports with their interest. The standard
of rebellion has never shewn itself here;
the interest of every man (a few soldiers
excepted) is mutual ; the basis of which
is the political basis of all countries, I
mean the soil. If tve admit this to be
no ways paradoxical, with a population
so numerous ; a treasury of not far from
five millions of dollars annual receipts,
and capable of being doubled, (fur a
Planter pays no taxes at this lime) re
mote from its imbecile parent, and at
the threshold of a strong maritime pow
er ; whose interest and approximation,
to say the least, would secure many ad
vantages. \Y ith such considerations, I
believe that if any other liberty was
wished for over what they now enjoy, it
is within their |>owcr to control it.—
But at present there is no possible re
compense ; and so long as the parent
is- m oe;rd<,
sr.imtling, frames, bi'icl;, shingles, riaiL',
and many kinds of hard ware, hoards tut
sugar boxes, hoop pi les, ta-ks for mo

carts, horses, oxen, sheep, hogs, mu
diinery of various kinds, house furniture,
beef, pork, butter, lard, fish, (pickled
and dried,) llour, rice, cider, tipples, po
laloes, onions, tobacco, gin, whiskey,
soap, candles, ploughs and other imple
ments of husbandry, besides a variety,of,
manufactured good*, domestic and lb-
reign.
“ If Cuba is allowed a continuation of
her present prosperity her products must
double in a few years. I ler intercourse
with tlie United States (from the sketch
above given) may lie considered ns mu
tually advantageous ; and the importance
of it in a commercial sense must he oh-
vious to each nation, i’he example of
the British government towards her co
lonies, their languishing, and 1 may say,
insolvent condition, will serve, I trust,
ns a warning to the parent of these.—
Spain, however, has no Eastern posses
sions to require her attention, to which
may bo attributed the bankrupt state of
the British colonies in the West. How
long Cuba is to repose in the lap of Peace
and Plenty—in this enjoyment of her
overflowing cup of prosperity, w ill de
pend more on the external, than inter
nal incitement. I have said before, §hg
wants no political change. She lias par-
sued one steady course—a course of
self-aggrandizement; her ports have been
as a repository for Spain to carry on her
intestine wars in the South ; and have
never been convulsed by civil discord*
It is her interest to keep aloof from each
scenes. If the tide of rebellion, which
lias swept nearly the whole surface of
South America, and subjugated the Roy
al authority, should terminate in govern
ments of strength and enterprizc, those
governments that are nearest may re
quire that the Island be severed from
Spanish authority, and oblige it to be an
integral part of their Republic, or a
Republic of itself. Such an event, how
ever, may not he looked for until they
become far more formidable in their na
val force than they are at present.
The possession of this island, by
Great Britain, h is of late been a theme
of great observa ion, and to that nation
a subject of great interest. Well might
she exult at an accession of such impor
tance. It is not the possession merely
of an extensive territory, of a salubrious
climate, and of a soil unparalleled for
tillage ; hut the primary consideration
is its locality ; and every nerve will lie
strung, every ingenuity practised, to gam
this favorite object. The United States
must view such a change as highlv
detrimental to her interest. It xvill
not only exclude her ships, her pro
duce, her subjects, from participating
in the commerce of the island, but i!
is the key to many important comcr-
cial ports. West and South of this ; and
that which is of much greater impor
tance, it is virtually a rampart, thatover-
looks a surface of several hundred miles
of American territory; a part of which
has already grown into great conse
quence ; and their enterprizing subjects
are making rapid improvements in the
other. Cuba, in the possession of Great
Britain, will become in a few venrs an
exceedingly rich colony ; & an immense
mart will bo open to her commerce ex
clusively—Should tins be the case, and
hostilities again take place between the
United States and that nation, her ad
vantages here are incalculable. With :t
powerful marine, they would sweep the
coast on either side. Ivey West, or
I’hompson's Island, as also every other
spot of American territory, (hat "maybe
fortified, bounding the sea board, will
serve as little or no protection whatever
to our commerce ; every fortress must
yield to such superior advantages, and
this inevitably must be the case, if Great
Britain possesses the island.”

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION*.
The subject of the Presidential election
.ns usurped the place of almost every topic
of discussion in several of (tie leading papers
of llm United Slates, and in most instances,
liic ardor ol the editorial champions Inis
d ,11c every thing but good, to the cause of
t. e respective candidates for which they
have engaged. No one, who has a proper
regard for tlie interests of the nation, can be
indifferent on this momentous question—
but we have abstained from ta lirg any pari
.1- discussion, berause in our own opinion
tin: proper tone has not arrived, when the
merits pf the respective pretenders, or those
who may hereafter pretend to that exalted
station their political characters and views,
can be fully scrutinized. Premature com
mittals are to be deprecated—and we could
hale wished that some of mu’ brother edi-
I »•< •'•;.(! duly considered the evils which are
! i-cly to fi.iw* from distaiioix. beforethey em-
0 irked so warmly in the contest.
J lie next election of President, is a sub
ject in which the interests of the nation are
deeply involved, and will, in fact, form a
m-w era in the history or the country. With
the present administration, the line of revo-
latinnary Presidents w ill have terminated —
and those patriots who shared in the dan
gy.sof our revolutionaiy struggles, are to
g.ie [dace to a new generation, who, howe-
ardent their patriotism, have not had ao

rity as Dr. Ramsay will not be disputed.—
We quote from the 3d. Volume of hit Histo
ry of the U lited States, pages til), 70, Sic.
“ Gen. Pinckney, though sunt [to France]
on an embassy of reconciliation, was not re
ceived. Oa presenting his letters of cre
dence. the French directory resolved, not
;n receive another minister from the United
States, until after a redress of grievances, de
manded of the American government, which
the French republic had a light to expect
from it.” Instead of being received as a
public minister, the general was ordered to
quit the territories of the French republic—
In the mean time, American vessels, where
ver found, were captured by f
“ If the government of the
been so far monarchical, as to vest the pow
er of declaring war in the exerntivr, nothing
less than the immediate adoption of that last
resort would have satisfied the wounded ho
nor of America ; hut, happily for the coun
try, by its constitution, the previous consent
of the representatives ot the people, who are
to bear the burdens and pay the expenses
of hostilities, was indispensably necessary.
The lately elected President, .Filin Adams,
though keenly sensible of thi indignity of
fared to bis country, was so futtv impressed
with the importance of peace, toils advance-
meat and happiness, that, in his speech to
Congress, in dune. 1797, lie informed them,
that, as he believed neither (be li nor, nor
the interest or the U. St t |es absolutely for
bade the repetition of advances, fur securing
peace and friendship with France, lie should
institute a fresh
ri'ked their lives and fortunes lo establish its
independence—and whatever talents they
may host, are not so deeply read in lessons
of experience, as the illustrious founders of
our liberties.
It is vitally necessary, that at a crisis so
important, we should weigh with deliberati
on. the characters of the respective candi
dates and in our choice, discarding person
al predilections, select such a one as w ill
unite the republican party, and best consult
the national well,ire, without ngard tosccti
onat views or geographical distinctions.
Tile state ol New Fork has a distinguish
ed part to act in tins important drama—the
weight of tlie united votes of this state, will
probably turn the scale between tin promi
nent competitors. R is a duty, therefore
which she owes to herself and the nati -n,
.hat this question should not he lightly d*
t.V....eiw ; termined—and every consideration should
r "nen ciuisvts. prompt her to pause, until the different can-
‘ L. Sfa!t*s h id did;lies which inay ho brought forward, can
be scanned, their political views, both w ith
respect to party discipline and national poll-
cj, developed, and the purity of their priu- [
eiples and the soundness of their iudgments,
fairly tested. J c

generals Pinckney and Marshal, were order

was taken upon the question, yet 23 of
the Members signed a paper reenm
mending Mr. Clav as President of the
United States ; while 13, who were op
posed to a nomination, signed their names
to a paper, in which their sentiments on
the subject were explained.
