Frown the National Intclligenccr, Feb. 14,
The Senate’s resolution declaring the admis-
sion of Missouri into the Union, as amended in
the House of Representatives, was yesterday re-
jected in the House by a majority. of six votes.-—
lt is in vain to regret what ‘cannot be . remedied.
Let us rather hope", that some proposition, in one
orfthe other house of Congress, will yet be made,
which may have the effect to se_ttle_the.question
forever. The decision of yesterday does not pre-
clude any such proposition, but rather invites it.
It behoves the friends of the best interests of the
Union to exert themselves to effect this object.—-
Almost any decision, which shall be conclusive,
will be preferable to keeping the matter in sus-
pence.
The Bankrupt Bill has passed in the Senate
to a third reading.
| The Senate were occupied on Thursday morn-
ing, with closed doors, it was supposed on the
subject of the Florida Treaty.
The National Intelligencer of Thursday, an-
nounces that it is now officially ascertained, that
James flflonroc is elected President of the United
States, and that Daniel D. '1'um/2/gins is elected
Vice President, for four years, commencing on
the 4th day of next month. ,
The same paper in speaking of the Missouri
question, remarks—Thc worst evils we foresaw
have happened. Every measure called for by the
cries of the people, and by the public interest, is
defeated. The proceedings of \'Vednes_day,'leave
us nothing to hope from the present Congress,‘ for
the relief of the purchasers of the public lands, or
of the mercantile class of the community. fondly
as we had hitherto clungto that hope. Feelings
of exasperation, jealousy, of mutual distrust, we
had almost said animosity, prevail, at least in one
bmncn ‘of Congress, which cast a damp over our
soirits, and, if our country has enemies, must fill
their hearts with joy and cxultation.
{'l'l\-.- proceedings alluded to in the above, took
place in the House, in counting the votes of the
Ttilectots of President and Vice President; it be-
ing contcntled on one hand that Missouri is a state
in the Union, and that her votes ought to be re-
ceived and counted; and on the other, that she
is not a state, and that her votes ought not to be
received.]

_SPANISH TREATY.
VVe have been favored with the following inte-
resting extract of a letter dated
llfas/ling-ton, Feb. 10.
‘ I have just left the Spanish Minister and re-
ceived from him the pleasing intelligence that
the long expected Treaty has arrived here, and
will be immediately laid before our government.
No apprehensions appear to exist of any obstacles
that may arise, either on the part cf Spain or our
Senate ; the latter will certainly ratify if noextra
conditions are attached ; and I have been lurnish-
ed by Gen. Vives with the Spanish decree ofthe
comes, which in approving the treaty, and annul-
ling the grants under the 8th article, only goes to
I‘t‘qtlt‘Sl‘CCl‘lall'l favors from our government, of
minor importance, which a little diplomatic cor-
respondencc will easily arrange. I think that
the treaty will be acted upon immediately by the
senate,’--—-1’/IZ'lt1d. Gaz.

age, in various parts of the country, in the dos-
truction of mill dams, bridges, fences, 8tc. Sev-
