_. copies of the correspondence between the United

Floridas to the States. In \-vithdrawtng the
one resolution, and offering the other, Mr. John-
son said, that he was not influenced by any cl1'c.mg€v
_ of opinion on the-subject of his first proposrtion_:
l I he believed it to be the proper course to be ulti-
,mately pursued--an opinion confirmed by infor-
mation he had seen in the'New-Orleans papers:
that hostilities were yet ripe between the Semi-
nole land l'ro_ntier settlers-—-but having under-
stoodthat a correspondence had been going on be-
tween our government and the Minister of Spain,
l
he had thought that it would be proper to under-
stand lirst what was the result of this correspond-
ence, as it might have some bearing on the sub-.
' ' ject he had in view. He, the_refore, for the pres-
»ent waved his motion, desiring it to be under-
stood, that he reserved the right of renewing it,
should it still appear necessary, after the inform-
-ation required by his present motion should be
received. ,
. On the 10th, this subject was renewed; and
>' . from what was said, we gather that the corres-
pondence between the Secretary ‘of State and the
«Spanish Minister is at an end, or nearly so ; and
that it is probable it will be laid before Congress
shortly, without any request of the Executive to
that effect. On that ground. the further consid-
eration of Mr. .lohnson’s motion was postponed
-to this day four weeks.]

The establishment at Galveztown has at length
been broken up, and General l-lumbert, with his
suite has arrived in this city ; they were found
‘ on board a vessel which has arrived in this river
Keever. We are ignorant of the real cause of

the band. ’ Some say that an agent of the Amer-

‘ Murder will out.’——Our readers will probably
recollect seeing an account of the skeleton ofa
man sttpposed to have been murdered, having
been discovered in opening a new rpad not far
from Geneva. The person murdered was said
to be a gentleman from New Jersey, who was
travelling into this country with a considerable
stim- of money, about nine years since. He put
up at a public house in Gorharn, Ontario county,
and his friwdswcre never able to obtain any. ac-
count of him afterwards. The circumstances
created considerable excitement in the neighbor-
hood at the time, but as no clue appeared which
would lead to a devclopcment of the m_vstery,
l 5 ithad long since subsided, and the circumstance
was almost "entirely forgotten. The finding of
the skeleton, however, led to an inquiry which
resulted, we trnderstand, in a discovery of the
person who" per-p-:tratt:d the act. A man by
‘l the name of Mentor, who kept the tavern at the
time that the gentleman disappeared, is ascertain-
"’~ ed to have been the perpetrator. Mentor, who
removed to Canada soon after the murder, left a
, ., son in Gorham, who, after the skeleton was fottnd
' tnade the slroclgrig discovery that his father was
the murderer! After residing several years in
Canada, Mentor removed from thence to Ohio,
and settled on the west branch of-the Chagrin
river. ~ After the discovery, a requisition “was
made on the executive of Ohio, by Gov. Clinton,
fin‘ Mentor‘, and a messenger dispatched to ar-
rest him, who passed through this village on
S~.mtrtlay, on his return, with the unhappy wretch
in his custody. ' ’

‘ ./[new B1-iti.s-/2' Treaty, between Great, Britain
and the United States, was ‘signed in’ London on
the‘20th of Octhber. \-Vhat "are the provisions
of the Treaty, (says the National,lntelligencer.)
wgare not in_l‘ormed ;‘ but, there is every reason
to believe, it will prove to be :fu"vot'able to ottr in-
teresls, and respectful to our rights. It is not
probable that Mr. Gallatin and Mr. Rush would
have assented to a Treaty ofany other character ;
and, that no t:xl1‘uDt‘(linz.tt‘_‘{ effort‘ was I]t:Cessat'y
to procure such an one, we_may infer -from its
having been negociatt-d and concluded within a.
space of time, much shorter than is usually con-
sumed in the formation-of a treaty, embracing
stipulationf; respecting~' trade and intercourse be-
tween nutions equally navigating and commercial
and particularly where the colonial trade is one.
of the topics. .
“ It has been supposed, from the suddenness
of our information of the signature of a treaty,
within a month alter we learnt that a negociation
was in progress, that this treaty may be nothing
more than the agreement to prolon'gthe conven-
tion of 1815. This supposition is not correct.
The treaty is one, we hope and believe, embra-
citug an adjustment of all the material‘ points in
cpntroversy between us and Great Britain ;——-
which, though the controversy has been and was
likely to continue an amicable one, is neither
unimportant to our mercantile interests, nor to
a permanent good understanding between Great
Britain and America. _
“ The treaty maybe expected, we presume,
every day ; in which case, it will, no doubt, pass
the ordeal of the SENATE during the present
session" of Congress.”
