Late Deliberation* of thq Cabinet . A variety of conjectures are now afloat, as to the tenor of the late des patches transmitted by our Govern ment, in answer to the receipt of our Minister's recent communication from Madrid* We understand, how ever, that nodifficulties occurred it) the deliberations of the Cabinet as to the course which remained to be pursued ; that it was the opiuion of the executive not to sanction any evasion or fraud that may be attempt ed to be imposed under the provi sions of this Treaty by certain gran tees, who, .clandestinely oppose strong impediments to its ratification : and whq, it is said, have not scru pled to cnwloy the most fraudulent means w i thin their power, by the fabrication of dates, and instruments to get their claims embraced wltlil 11 the period limited^ This piece of chicanery, it is understood, to be tlie determination of government to resist : that positive instructions on this head havte been transmitted to our minister^ Madrid ; and though the whole amount of these claims is reported not to exceed 8200,000, which might be brought up for a much leas sum? -a mere fraction, na tionally speaking; yet such is the straight forward policy of our exe cutive, and the integrity of its inten tions, that even this paltry sum, will not he granted to bribe the interests or good will of the courtiers or fa vorites of Ferdinand. That thia is not a Machiavelian course is obvious, when serious im? pediments could be so' easily remov ed by the application of a little mo ney j but then it comports more with the dignity and interest q? a nation, that disdains to stoop to the practice of political quackery by administer ing pecuniary gratification, at the ex pense of integrity and fair dealing. By the spirit of the treaty, and its. faithful execution on our part, we aro willing to stand or fall. We now despair of its ratification within the time limited by Jts provisions ; and the fulfilment of this condition is indispensihle to mak6 it binding on both parties. We think it highly probable that the recent instructions of our execu tive, do not essentially differ from what has been heretofore transmit ted ; and it is also not improbable that 8 pain may have proposed some new arrangement to get rid of the importunities of her disappointed grantees; but what the fate of such a proportion may have been under the present negociation, is impossible to anticipate.
