\Vith respect to the present speech of the

ements between America and England are likely
to be concltided upon a scale of great extent, and
principles of mutual liberality. W’:-.' do not re-
gard this, however’, as an advantage to either
country ; forcommercial treaties are sure to be
infringed, and then national quarrels are the con-
sequence. \Vhereas, ifcoinnierce be’ left en-
tirely to itself, it will very well consult and guard
its own interests. .
The dispute with Spain is alluded to, and the
present condition ofthe Floridasis critically ex-
ani_in_ed. It certainly appears that the President
expected that the Spanish government would"
have ceded the Floi-idas to the U; States ; Spain
not being in a condition to satisfy thedemands
of-‘the United States upon her treasury, and be-.
ing yet less able ‘to keep thefrontier provinces
in due subordination, ’ It is not to be questioned,
that Spain wouldlgladly sell the Floridas to A-
merica : and America would gladly buy theriig.
. but she wants to take them in satisfaction of bye-
gone claims, whilst Spain is desi,rous~ of a new
- contract, and of a_ better pbargaiii. “

The metropolis was on~'l‘uesday eiiveloped in
a fog, the most “dense that has been \'Vltl‘lCSSe(ij;f0t‘
several years. The darkness ‘in the early pilot:
of the day was not so very great as to be attend-“
"ed with extraordinary inconvenience ; but it
.gradually increased, and about four o’clock it "bd-
came impossible to discern an object at the dis-
tance of a 'few.paces. .-The carriages and rugs?
gons moving along the streets were not discern-‘
- able from the flag-way, and the passengers on the?
latter derived very little aid from the lights in l_l:I,.'i:‘
windows, or in the lamps_, as most of the shops,
from fear of accidents, were shut, and several of,
‘the latter were extinguished by the fog; even,
those that did burn afforded but a very feeble
twinkling light, not visible until a near approach.
The coachmen alightcd from their boxes to lead
the horses, and thelink-boys were in great nuin-
bers to offer their assistance ; but with every
possible care and precaution the passengers both
on foot and in carriages, seldom succeeded in
making their way witlioiit mistakes, and horses
and carriages frequently deviated from the street
to the {lag-ways, to the imminent danger of the
"passengers. The noises made by the people in"
the streets, were frightful ; some shrieking'from
terror when surprised‘ by the sudden approach pf
‘a horse or a carriage, and others calling out-to
their fellow travellers to warn them of danger,
» or anxiously inquiring their way.‘ In many ca-
ses the company deserted their carriages, which
remained‘_stationary, thegcoachman not knowing
where they were. Various sums,‘ from hall’-‘a
crown to ten shillings, were obtained by link-
boys {or conducting a carri‘a'ge through a’ single
street. In the theahtre,'tlie‘_actoi's on the stage
were sc'ai'cely‘ visible Vtothe autlieiice‘; and ‘even
