TREATY RATIFIED.
From the .Na.'z'ona! Iizrelligcncer, Feb.

The Senate of the United States yesterday gave
its consent and advice to the ratification of the
Treaty 1:-.~.twr:en. the United States and Spaiit, con-
cluded in the city of \V'.~.sliirtgton on the 22d day
of l*‘ebri1at'y. 1819. It is understood that the votes
against the Treaty did not exceed four or liv-ei
number.

The completion of this long stispentled trans-
action has afl’oi'ded us great satisfaction. 1.3‘.-"e fe-
licitate our I‘Ctt(li31‘S generally, that F7:,orida new
attached to the territory ofthe Union; and we
congratulate our merchants, having claims on
Spain, that they are in a fair way to obtain at .03..-:t
a partial inrdeitinilicatioii of then in-.-.s.e:s.

The official publication of the Treaty will, we
presume. not be delayed longer than is necessary
for the exchange of ratifications. The pro‘. isions
of the Treaty are so generally known, it having
been published some time ago among the docu-
ments transmitted to Congress, that we do not
think it necessary to anticipate the official publica-
tion of it by any detailed account of its contents.
‘We know it gives us Florida, and that it provides
for indemnifying our merchants for claims on
Spain; these are the main points, and the garb
in which these agreeable objects present them-
seltcs is not so important.

1‘=:t>I>.tvAl.i-1 GAZETTE.
WEBJv‘E.sD./IF, FEBRU.tlRI' 9.8, 1821'.

‘.Vith the present number of the Gazette the
pnblislicr takes leave of his friends and patrons;
not, however, without strongly expressing his
gratitude to them for the liberal support which
they have given him. VVlien the design of pub-
lishing the Gazette was first made known, many
objections and clifftculties were raised by its ene-
mies, and even its friends doubted its success :-—--
notwitlistanding these feelings and these fears,
prosperity has completely crowned the exertions
of a three years’ trial.

Upon retning from the establislnn:—.-zit the pub-
lisher would ear:'ies=tly recommentl to the notice
of his patrons, the young gentleman who is to suc-
ceed him in its rnanagement : It is liopcd that
the same liberal patronage which has l‘.Cl'ClOfO1'C
been given to the Gazette will "still be continued,

and that its l’riends, in doing this, will not forget

that they are per forming the duty which every
good citizen owes to his country and to its youth.
Every philantht opic heart must rejoice at this op-
portunity o1'aicli:‘:,-; the exertions ofone, who, in
his younger days manifests an ardent desire to be
tiseful. ' ‘

Among the patrons ofthe Gazette there are
some who have not been sufficiently punctual in
their payments : owing to this neglect the pub-
lisher is now compelled to call upon them for an
im7nc’cIiatc discharge of their duty. He will re-
main in town a few weeks for the purpose of col-
lecting his debts, and those who have accounts
with him will find it much more convenient to set-
tle them now than at a future period. To enable
the several Post-ridcis from this Office to close
their accounts, it is earnestly hoped their subscri.
hers will not be backward in the payment of their
bills.

Great Osage 1Wissz'o;:.—'l'he family destined to
the Osages of the Missouri, if the weather per-

which the conflagration was looked for, several
nobleman who kept mistresses, attended church
with them in order to be married. The Comet
made its appearance, but no change took place
except in the minds of those who had made res-
titution for the wrongs they had committed; a
change, however, which proved of little service to
them.’

The bill appropriating $815,000 for Canals and
roads, has passed the committee of the whole in
the Pennsylvania Legislature. This is a liberal
sum, and the improvement ofinland navigation
in that state will be ofmaterial benefit to the com-
merce of New-York. The important project of
uniting the Delaware and Rariton should not be
overlooked. and a small sum would bring the
Delaware and Chesapeake together, thus making
at chain of canals through the tinion.—-Nat. ./:'dv.
