She also added, that his friends at one time had procured him (he situation of " clerk to (he Sur¬ veyor General in the Duke of Welling¬ ton's army," which situation ho retained wily nine months, and during seven Gf them lie was under government arrests for misconduct at Brussels. She conclu¬ ded hrr long and voluble defence, by sta¬ ting that a .Mr. N-------y was her compan¬ ion in her last visit to the complainant's lodgings : his object being to recorer his ■wife, wli-* was then living with (he gen¬ tleman as his mistress ; and hcr's to re¬ cover her property, the whole of hi« ward¬ robe belonging to her. " and her alone," as she had purchased it herself. There were many parts in this defence to which Mr. Sullivan took great objec¬ tion. He denied that the lady tra« his wife, as she had stated. M Well, Jerry," interrupted Miss Sullivan—M his name is Jerry, your worship, though now he's set up for himself he calls himself John, for fhe gentility of it; and if I ar'nt your wife you know, I am your own cousin jarmin, and I've been better than a wife to you." Mr. Sullivan denied that she had supported him, and assorted, on the contrary, that she had repeatedly robbed him : in particular he charged her with stealing a gold uatch from him lonsr, be¬ fore he left her, and—M Och ! Jerry, my darling," again interrupted the lady, "ye'll come to be hanged, my jewel ! And dtd'nt you give me the watch to pawn to pay for the rent ? And did'nt we pay it with the money for that same?" Mr. Sullivan made no reply to this inter¬ rogation ; and as the whole of what Miss Sullivan had stated Mas corroborated by Mrs. Trim and others, he began to look wondrously blank upon the business,— lie, however, speedily resumed his self- possession and went on to speak of the high respectability of his connexions : he rn< ntioned the names of several persons nf rank in Ireland, and described htm* self as the pergonal friend of Sir James Margregrr. u Och ! Jerry, my darling," again exclaimed the pertinacious Miss Sullivan, u Sir James Macgregor IS a man of honour, and a gentlerr.au; and you know he will h.tve nought In do with you r.t all. and how could you think of brin<r- jng np nis name In a common police of¬ fice ?" A long recriminative altercation now- ensued, and during its height, Limbrick, the officer, handed to the magistrate a pocket-book, which, lie said, he had found in the possession of MlSS Sullivan : and Mr. IVirnie wasopeniugit, when Mr. Sullivan suddenly exclaimed, u That is toy pockeubook, Sir ! it contains letters ofmine,aud,I trust vou will deliver them to me." The magistrate, with a look of ineffa¬ ble contempt, coolly asked Iiira if he thought he was going to read his trash ; and Miss Sullivan at the same moment asserting that many of the letters were hers, he added,cc As that is the case 1 shall take the trouble of sorting them out." He did so ; but by accident tossed one, which was directed to " the Hon. John Sullivan," to Miss Sullivan's parcel. The gentleman was instantly awareof it, and grasped at the letter, but the lady was too quick for him ; and taking it up she Said, looking at the direction, and in a foue of the bitterest irony, ic Och ! yes, I see ; this is for Misthre Sullivan.-— Tiiere ! take it to your own self Misthre Sullivan ! alias u The Hon. John Sulli¬ van ! ! alias Jerry Sullivan of Oallyna- dab ! !! the cratur!" and she curtsied to the eronnd. as wiiha co.Uieami'j usMidlr The giounu, a$ witus etttttemfrttt ttssmttt she delivered the letter to him. After some further conversation, in which the complainant exposed himself more and jncre, the magistrate Inst all patience, and taking the warrants in his hands he tore them to pieces: at the same time addressing himself to Mr. Sullivan, hede- sired him to quit the office—'you came here, sir, and represented yourself to m# as a person of family and respectability, who had been robbed of property to a very large amount ; and it (urns out af¬ ter all to be a paltry and disgraceful squabble between a worlhless follow and his misstreSS ! Go along about your bu¬ siness, sir, and trouble me no more with an exposition of your infamy." Mr. Sul¬ livan smiled. Cfc What are you grinning at, sir," continued the indignant magis¬ trate, u If yon grin here you may repent your insolence !" Mr. Sullivan looked reriou>, and, putting on his hat5 he be¬ gan to move pretty rapidly towards the door. « Knock that fellow's hat off!" exclaimed Mr. Birnie. Mr. Sullivan was too quick for the officers who at¬ tempted it, and taking it off himself he went out of the oilire with a hop, step, and jump, followed by Miss Sullivan and her friends smiling triumphantly. ------------------------------ The Province of Glava, in the Empire of Morocco i? furrounded with high mountains, and extremely populous; it enjoyed for feveral centuries the moil entire freedom, and was not fubjeft to any tax whatever. Many Jews are fettled there, -| whopretendto poflefg the monument of Joab, the contemporary., of David. In 1778, when Sidi-Mohamed, father of the preient Emperor, was croffing its frontier mountains, he was attacked by the inhabi¬ tants of Glava, his Minirters were made prifoners, and histreafnre, which was on the point of falling into the hands of the rebels, was carried off into Europe by a Jew, who was a Minilter, and who never returned.—The Emperor, juftly irritated, immediately affembled His foices and laid walle the Province of Glavp, againft which he carried on the war until his death. In the month of June of the prefent year, as the Imperial Prince, Mouley Ibra¬ him, was croffing thefe mountains on his rout to Tafilet, being about two hours march a-head of his army he was attacked during the night by the mountainers, who feized his treat ore, made prifoners two ladies of his court, and mortally wounded the Prince himfelf. The Emperor, who was not far off, owed his own efcape from the brigands, to the fidelity of a young Jew, named David ben Michaud, a Pay- mafter of. Fez, who defpatched a courier to inform him of the danger to which he was expofed. The imperial Prince died of his wounds on the following day Indignant as well as afflicted at this daring crime, the Emperor aflembled an army, which he divided inta three corps, one of which was directed to the circuit of Tafilet, in order to take the rebels in flank; the other marched on Serarah ; and the third, led by the Monarch in perfon, proceeded direft to Glava. The marches were fo well concerted, that the three operations fucceeded at the lame time and in the moll rrviif lete mnnnrr. Tliry fcoured the route even to the town of Glava, by blowing up the rocks which it was neceflary they fh- aid pafs. Four hundred mountaineers joined the Imperial army. There wee amongft them ten armed Jews, who, on being brought be F<>re the Emperor, declared to him fhat they had been forced by their fttperiors to take up arms.—The Emperor, who owes his life to a Jew and who has been two years married to. a Tewefs, ordered hi-. foldiers to bring him all the individuals of this feci that might fall into their hands,at the fame time promiling them a reward of fifty ducats for each. A great number were in confequence brought before him. On the 20th June, the Emperor enter ed the town of Gla* a, and gave to each of the above ten Jews* a corps of a thou- fand foldiers, in order that they might ftek and fave all the inhabitants of their re¬ ligion who were difperfed in the country, and opptefTed by the Glavians. At the fame time he ordered that the eyes of the prifoners of war fhould be put out, and to effeft this operation, the victors made ufe of their ramrods The rebels were further condemned to fubfift upon alms for the re¬ mainder of their lives. The Imperial army made confiderable booty in gold and filver ; they feized cattle to the value of three million of piastres, and eight thou fand horfes of great beauty. The Glavians on flying to the mountains for refuge left behind them the women, who were conducted prifoners to Tafilct. The wives and childien of the Jews, on the contrary, were efcorted to Mecquinez, (1 he retidence of the Emperor) where orders were iflued to fnrnifh them with every ne cefiary, at the expencc of the Impetial Treafury. This viclory has been celebrated hi Morocco, and in all the towns of the Em¬ pire, in the moll magnificent manner ; the Emperor, however, deeply deplores the lofs of hischerifhed eldell fon, to whom he- was defirous of bequeathing his ciown. The confpiracy of the Glavians is attri¬ buted to a nephew of the Emperor, who afpired to the throne and who appears to have excited the rebels to open tumult. The proof of this was difcovercd amongft the papers of the deceafed Prince Imperi¬ al, who had not denounced it to his father. The time stipulate m§§ (0 gllarcJ ag3;aft accidents, extend^ to t|IC longest period which, under any circumstances, could be required to effeft ,he exchange. Had the distance of our relpea;ve governments per¬ mitted, the time fixeij woli|j not have been extended bey§nd a single day. If the government of tl)6 United States had not gratuitously offered the exchange here, his Majesty would ha?e been compelled, ere this, to have transmitted the treaty ratified on the part of Spc.n, to America, or have Ion the benefit of the convention. You will recolleft that -(0 place is fixed at which the exchange is to be made. It is to the confidence of the American government in the good difpowtfen of Spain, that the King, your master, is indebted for the op- J portuniry thus to delay afting nponthc fub¬ jeft. The ill confluences which will en- fue from this postponement, and the im- preflion likely to U made by it, can be ea- [fications of the Treaty of iza February, 1819, you are ready to execute that ad on behalf of your Government, at any time prior to the date of the ztd of August.

Sir : The determination of his Catholic Majesty to delay the exchange of ratifica¬ tions of the treaty signed on the 22d Feb¬ ruary, at Wafhington, by Mr. Adams and the Chevalier Onis, as communicated by your excellency's note of the 19th inftant, in reply to my notes of the 1 8th May and the 4th of the current month, fills me with regret. As the fubjeft matter of that trea* ty has been for years before the two gov¬ ernments, both of whom ha^*'» no doubt, long 6incebeendifcuffedand deliberately de- ermined upon what they wouldrefpectively claim and yield, I took it for granted no motive for delay could exist. Your excel* lency's note, while it ftates to me the faft that a long delay is contemplated, does not enlighten me as to the caufe. The mea- lure is, no doubt, importaut and interest¬ ing to his Majesty's kingdom, but no new light can have broken in upon the fubjeft fince the instruftions weie given to the Chevalier de Onis, upon which the treaty is founded, on the part of Spain—no change of the crcumstances of thepartie* to it, has occurred—no new caufes of difficulty, or complaint, are known to exist----Although the words of the treaty allow six months to elapfe before thc instrument i« annulled, if the exchange of ratifications is not prcvi- ofhVial dttails r«'rneft'ng the revolution, of I ously made, I most reprcfrnt to voui <-x- wlvch thir Empire has been for fume I rtJkncy, 'hat every hour's dc'ay i'- at va- mo::th« the th^airc. irUnccwith thc f[»iri( of itw f'." umo.:. TRANSLATKD J Don Manuel Gonzales Salmon to Mr. For¬ syth. Sir : I duly received the note you were plcafcd to addiefstome, dated the 21st June lad, in anfwer to that which I had the honor to write to you on the 19th of the fame month, being my reply to your notes of the 8th of May and 4th of June requesting the fpeedy ratification and ex¬ change of the Treaty, lately concluded at Wafhington. on the 22d of February of the prefent year, between Ins Majesty, and your Government. In my laid reply. I confined myfelf to Rating to you that his Majesty, having ta¬ ken that important fubjedt into his mod ferious confidcration, had found it indif- penfably neceffary to examine the treaty with the utmoft caution and refledion be¬ fore he procetded to ratify it. In your anfwer, you exprefa your fur- prife at the delay attending a traofaftion, which, having been already thoroughly dif cufTed, could require no renewed examina¬ tion of its final and definitive decision ; and the more fo, as the circumftances which lead 10 it had experienced no change with either party. You proceed to develope, at length, the injurious effeft that, in your opinion must be produced by the delay of the SonnihS government, in concluding this afTair. and alfo the difagreeable confe- quence& that vou forefec muft refult from that delay : &od you conclude, by dating, that whenever bin Catholic Mnjesty dull plcafc *o antKorife me^to exchange the iat- It would have been defirable if you had confined yourfelf, in your faid note, to ex- prefiing your furprife and that of your go¬ vernment, at the delay on the part of Spain in terminating, by her ratification, an af¬ fair which, according to the intention 1 f both, was to be considered as concluded, and to earnestly requeuing the exchange of the fame ; by which the wifhes of your go¬ vernment, and one of the principal objects of your arrival at this Court, would be ac- complifhed. Thus, it is to be fuppofed, that you would have only conformed to the instruc¬ tions which you will probably receive from your government ; and, therefore, other exprtfiions and phrafes you have ufed in your note, cannot fail to appear very ex¬ traordinary, which your ardent zeal for the interests of your nation, has cioubtlefs, prompted you to employ, but in which you have been carried farthefr than really could have been wifhed. The exprefTionsand phrafes alluded to, which I refrain from otherwife fpecifying, are, to fay the lead, entirely fuperfiuous, and confequently, foreign to the fabjefl in question 5 they have, therefore, furprifed thc more, as, in no podible cafe, can they be applicable to the Spanifn Government, or to its agents.—Convinced of the recti¬ tude and justice of its rights, and of thofe ever prefcribed by the bounds of modera¬ tion, it never has, in its communications, permitted itfelf to go to fuch extremities as would justify the proceeding now ad¬ verted to. There would be much to remark upon a style fo unufual in diplomatic communi¬ cations, and dill lefs conformable to the fentiments of mutual friend/hip and har¬ mony, which diould exist between the two go^ernmenrsof §p#m and1 the United States of America, as well as ot thofe which, as its Reprefrntative, you are in a fit nation to exprefs ; but I fliill abstain from any par¬ ticular detail or comment upon your ex- preflions, and confine myfelf merely to de¬ clare to you> as I have already done, the extreme furpnze produced by that part of the contents of your note. I am, at the fame time, authorifed by the King my master, to inform you that, having deliberately weighed rhe important fubject which forms the principal objeft of your communication, he is of opinion that a final decision cannot be taken thereupon without previously entering into feveral explanations with the Government of the United States, to fome of which your Go¬ vernment has given rife. His Majesty has therefore been pleafed to charge with his full confidence, a perfon poflefTing all the qualifications neceflary for bringing this interedinir trud to a hap¬ py conclusion, who will forthwith make known to the United States His Majesty's intentiora on this point, in order that, all obdacles being removed on one fide, and cleared np oh the other,aIl the doubra which have arifen may be done away, and a full and fatisfaftory accomplishment given to the earnest defire which has animated the King my master, on this fubjeft, which cettainly has uniformly been to fee the friendship and good understanding fubsist- ing between both Governments, estahlifhed on the most folid basis, and fecured against future chances of interruption. His Catholic Majesty perfuades himfelf that the Government of the United States in accordance with thefe principles and fifnl imr'ni q, fir from r^fo- "• -t tn ffrtiri** *^';^* new explanations, will cheerfully receive them 09 a proof of the good faith and frank- nefs of thc condufl of Spain ; and that they will accede to her views by promoting alfo, on their part, the fpeedy conclusion of an affair productive of the mutual ad¬ vantage of both powers. 1 offer, Sec. &c. Sec. MANUEL GONZALES SALMON. Madrid, I oth August, 1819. CONGRESS. A refolution declaring the admilfion of the date of Alabama in the union, was approved by the President on the 14th inft. Mr. Storrs has brought forward a refolu¬ tion, directing an enquiry to be made whe¬ ther troops have been raifed at any time contrary to law. Mr. Williams, of N. C. has brought forward a refolution, calling upon the pres¬ ident for information refpe6ting certain ex¬ ecutions or other punifhments which may have been infli&ed on the arrr>r °f the L7ni- ted States, fince the year 1815, contrary to the laws and regulations provided for the government of the fame. Mr. J. W. Taylor brought forward a refolution on Tuefday, with a view of ob¬ taining the opinion of congrefs upon the abstratft quedion ofreftri&ing flaveryinthe territories of the United States, wed of the Aiiffiflippi. The objeft of the mover was to prevent a recurrence of that heat and crimination which prevailed during the difcuflion of thc MifTouri question. The refolution, which follows, was adopt¬ ed, and the consideration of thc Miflouri question podponed to the fecond Monday in January. Resolved* That a committee be ap¬ pointed to enquire into the expediency of prohibiting by law till* introduction of slaves into the territories of the U. States west of the Mississippi. The annual report of the secretary of the treasury, was communicated to con¬ gress on the llth. The receipts of the current year, including the balance in the treasury the 1st of January last, are es¬ timated at 025,827,^81 33 and the expenditures at 25,492,387 43 Leaving a balance in rhe-------------------- treasury, 1st Jau. 1830. 334,090 90 Ing a deficit of nearly five millions of dol¬ lars.^ Hence it become necessary either to diminish the latter or augmentthe for¬ mer. If it is decided to augment the re¬ venue, the secretary BOggesfa several me- thods, such as an increased duty upon various articles of foreign merchandize a duty upon sales at auction, and the issue of treasury not^s not to bear interest. On the l:>;h, Mr. Rich, of Vermont offered (he following resolution, which was adopted without opposition. Resolved, That the committee on Rev¬ olutionary pensions be instructed toen- quire into the [manner in which the act of the 18th March, 18IS, has been exe¬ cuted : ascertaining as far as maybe practicable, the class or classes of which it has been construed to embrace and such as have been excluded from its pro¬ visions : whether fhe objects contempla¬ ted by its passage have been, or probably will lie, effected by the operation of thc law : and if not, whether it be susceptr- ble of such amendments a^ will secure the accomplishment of those objects: that in case it shall be ascertained, that from fraudulent practices under the law, for which no effectual remedy can be ap¬ plied, or from any other cause, the orig¬ inal objects are unattainable, the sard commirtee enquire into the expediency of its repeal. Military Executions, &c. Mr. Williams, of North Carolina of¬ fered for confidcration the following refo¬ lution : "Refohcd That the Prefident of the United States be requeded to caufe to be laid before this Ho ufe any information he may fottdfy Pefpe&tXg certain txccvtmf or other punifhments which may have been ir.fli&ed on the army of the United State*, fince the year 1815, contrary to the laws and regulations provided for thc govern¬ ment of the fame." In offering this refolution, Mr. Williami took occafion to refer to the reports in general circulation, on which his motion was founded, and particularly to one cafe reported as the mod aggravated The report of ft, he faid, was to this effect; Colonel King, who was left by Gen„ Jack fon in command of Penfacola, iflbed an order, that if any foldier deferted, and was overtaken or apprehended, he (hould be put to indant death. One foldier, who had deferted, was overtaken, and fo put to death. When apprehended, he exclaimed that, as an American citizen, he wai- entitled to a trial according to the laws of his country, and claimed his rights as fuch** But, with cruelty and precipitance, ba requeft W08 refufed, and he wan put to- inftant death. Congrefs, Mr. W. faid«? fat here as guardians of ihe rights of the people. But it was thc weak, more than the flrong, whofe rights were rhe peculiar care of this houfe. If the fads he had itated on the authority of common report* were confirmed, a juft punilhment ought to await the offenders. Are the rights of an officer invaded, faid he the alarm fr founded from one end of the country to the other : every feeling fa roufed in hi» defence ! And, when thc cafe of thr private foldicr, weak and defencelcfs in hil own caufe, prefents itfelf, fhould no one be found to (fand up for him ? Mr. W. hopcd» he faid, that there would be a thorough examination into the cafe* if the officer in be exemplarily punifhed ; and, if the report was not true, it was due to Col. King that the (latement fhould be dis- proved. Mr. Smith, of Maryland, faid, he hoped the gentleman from North Carolina would, for the prefent, let the refolution lie on the table. He had heard, he faid, that a court martial had been ordered on Col, King, on this very point. If fo, he would be tried for his alleged mifconduft by the proper tell—the rules and articles of war. Should he not be punifhed for mifconduft, if any had been committed, it was then time enough for this houfe to take it up. Mr. Williams faid, he would be willing that the refolution fhould lie on the table^- if any good purpofe could be auf»^,c(^ by itd taking that courfe. It nad been faid, that a court mart!?* &ad been ordered in this cafe- That was part of thc very information, Mr. W. faid, which he wifhed to obtain from an authentic fource. If affured officially that fuch was the faQ, Mi. W. faid he fhould be willing to ftay all further proceedings on this cafe. But the report of that faft wa9 rumor merely, vague furmife, and, for ought he knew, unfounded conjodture. Mr. Cobb, of Georgia, exprefied hi$ opinion, that the refolution if objectiona¬ ble at all was fo on the ground that it did not go far enough. If he was not grofsly deceived in the information he had received, the cafe mentioned by the gentleman from North Carolina was not thc only one, of theinfii&jon of punifhment in the army, contrary to law. If a very strict enquiry was made into this fubjeft, he believed it would be difcovered that daily, the rule* . and ai tides for the government of thearmf are violated- He had underllood, from a gentleman formerly an officer of the army, of high refpe£ability, that it i* now the daily practice in the army, dire&ly in the face of the law, to punifh foldiers corporally for offences. He hoped the refolutioa would pafs, and that the Houfe would obtain information on the fubjeft. § B Mr. Storrs of New-York, rofe princj pally toftate a faft, in corroboration ot what had fallen from other*, lie had himfelf feen, in thc cantonment at Sackett Haibour, punilhment inflifted onfoldic*
