We have -concluded in this day's paper the trials of Arbuthnot and Amhrifler, There can be but one opinion, at lead on thio fide the St. Lawrence, refpe&ing the conduct of General ]ackfoo in this afiair— it was marked with arrogance, injutiice and cnitity. W« feave perufed with lome attention .'.tr. Adams's Ulirutiions to th« Mioiftcsr Plenipotentiary of the United States at Madrid, which were to be com¬ municated to thi Spai.ifh grovernmtnt in ord-^r to juttify the proceedings of the Li¬ nked Stales in the late Seminole war. We would recommend to this fiery Secretary of Stale a little more temperance, when another fueh talk is impofed on him $ he. ha* ill this i*(lance overftepped all the bounds of mod-ration and truth, and like every oie die wdio has a bad eaufe to de¬ fend has made up in paffinndte declama- n'on what he wants in found argument. He begins with advancing aa a proof of the Prelidcnt's pacific difpofition (w§ w»uld rather call it, of liis fear for difa- greeable Confequences) the «rder already ifTued for giving up to the proper Spaniih authoiine«\ Ptofacwla, Bavancas, and the Fort of St. Mark*. Would .Mr. .'-.ion- roe have fo entry rtfi-riied the conqueds of bis galknl General, if the high tone which Spain has lately.held, had nut a little a- lar^td the good man ? It was certainly very necefTary for Mr. Adams, i.i fearch of argument for juftifi- t© tiace the origin of the war to Britain and her ap;cAt3. and if poffible (hmw ihat her hollility was noc lefs again* Spain than againtl the United States. For Spain had afferted her determination to obtain fatufa&ion for the injury done to her ally Great-Britain. Now, fays John Quincy Adam.-., if I cat make a breach between thefe friends* I fliall hear no more of the dtterioiuatiou of Spain to fee her allv lighted. Taus have we feen a cunning knave rattening wpon the ani- mcfities of hooelt plain dealing ane«, which vc.y animoliu'es he himfelf has fomented. In this manner the wary Secretary goes, to work, but his proofs of what lie af- feits are fo defective, and his pafuVn boils overfo much, tint altogether he has made a very bungling; bnfinefs of it. We would recommend him to find Wetter teftiatony than that which the renegade Hnmbly can furnifh : who ever thought of paying any attention to the deoofitions of an ac- ? Or who but this paragon of a Secretary ever thought of advancing fuch as good and fufficient evi¬ dence? If ©tir litn'ts would allow, it would not be diiHcnlt to tlievv the fallacy of all the arguments advanced in this able docunent. En paffant, we would advife John Quincy Adams not to indulge in fneers in grave matters, and fnggeff the DeetfSty of a little improvement in his (lyle, aitd a more careful atte tion to the correefmef* of hia metaphors.

Mxssieubs Editors, I see it is again insinuated, by Mr. Gourlay, in the last number of the Nia¬ gara Spectator, that the Lieutenant Go¬ vernor kept the House of Assembly wai¬ ting a week alter the public business was finished. I have seen this contradicted once already in the Phoenix. Now, Sir, 1 cau positively assert that this insinua¬ tion is as false as it is base. The Speak¬ ers of both Houses, I appeal to them and to all the Members, if this is not thefact, had notice, that the moment (heir busi¬ ness was at an esd, the Lieutenant Go- vernor was ready to prorogue the Parlia- meit, and the day after they made a re¬ port to that effect the Parliament v.as prorogued. ff» 4eing inisTfcfM *eek Mqtg 2? prorogation ta-ok p^e, an important Kill was passed on the '/<>*» u Graining to His Majesty a aum ofr"0«»q' for the survey o! the waters of tl.f Saint Lawvrnce, and for other purposes therein mentioned," and a great deal of other business was disposed of on th:>t and the preceding day : So much sofkat on a reference to the Journals of the Assembly 1 find the record of the proceedings of those (wo day's occupies fourf'^" page-of folio post, close!/ w rittftu. ^et the euod people of this Provinco are ftUdfteiously told that His Exeelh'ucy feffitthc two Honsas for a week -;t'. count 'heir linger.<.r' it h true ilia l-jxcellency had not quit- ted his reom foi-on»e (bus before^ and hU disorder, i understand, was contract¬ ed during his «ervli es hi Spain, from ex¬ posure to the climate.

A Geatleman now in Kington, some years ago beino;embarrassed, was anx- ions to obtain the opinion of Sir Samuel .Homily, & went with a Gentleman who had a case to lay before him. with a fe« of 10 Guineas. Sir Samuel looked at the case and returned it, with the fee, saying it was impossible that he could answer it, fioni the- press of business then before him, for three or four mouths. Upon which the gentleman told him he would wait his leisure. Tb*» other stated his inability to j;hp a fee with his case, which wa« known to Sir Samuel : upon whicb Sir Samuel desired him to leave it and call next day.
