A Halifax papet received yester
day from oar ror respondents, cou
taius the following Extracts.
KINGSTON, (JAM.) AUG, 23.
Private letters received from Pan
ama state, that about three weehi
since a plot was discovered to have
been formed by the Hritish prisoners,
made at the recapture of Porto Bello ;
the object of which was to obtain
possession of a battery and |>owder
magazine, neat die city, and then to
bombard the place, in the mean
liiue a part of them were to take
possession of the Spanish brig Ven
turosa* lying in the harbor of Pan
ama, and it was intended that the
whole, of them should proceed iu tier,
and join Lord Coc hrane in the South
Seas. T w o of the ringleaders were
shot by order of General nero, w ho
shortly afterwards issued an order
for all foreigners to depart from
Panama wit' su tt^i days.
It \*as reported at Panama, (hat
Lord Cochrane had taken Petit
(iallao, in die harl>or?of which port
a vessel - was at anchor, having on
board 10,000 dollars. It was fur
ther stated that his lordship had ac
tually parsed Guayquik on his wav
to ChilL. : _ ... -
Advices from Lima to the 8th
June, have reached this city. . By
tlieni we learn that Uu i C t\J
halt captured the American m br.
MonJe&um, belonging to BaHhhort.
(Hi her way into Uoadstead oi'Gallno;
she had' on board a cargo valued at
80,000 dollars. His Lordshiti had
tlso taken irom a port in Para,
70,000 (toll's. ,
TbjHVpift of a rich prize w ith two
million* said to have,. been captured
by lord Cochrane , is nscertaiin*l to
be without foundation.
The Government of Lima had
disnached a fast-sailing schooner to
cruize off Valdivia, to apprize any
Spanish squadron of the movements
or Lord Cochrane, and had pass
ed in safety his fleet. Subsequent to
this, hit lordship had raised the
blockade of Galtao. ? liiq reception
at Valparaiso it was supposed,
would not l>e very flattering, as prc
\ ious to his leaving Gallao, he de
clared he would destroy the marine"]
force at that place.
j . Six Field jpfflcer* ami 87 of in
ferior iank, , who litul been made
prisoners by the Insurgent C hief St.
Martin, were put . to death by his
.orders, in the village of St. Louis*

One ?f our Liverpool papers, in^
taking * retrospective view of the
ContiDfht^ remark*? ( "Not withstand

rtWontented people,' can make it ;
>ut also to several of the States of
tvermany, whose situation is scarce
ly lesa Interesting. It is rather omin
ous for Pftwsis, that Frederick Wil
liam is |MrfK)tng a coui**e not very
unlike that of Kerdinand. The men
wfyo?were iw>at bravely and patrioti
cally active in the exclusion of Na
|K*teon, in when Prussia was
in her " low estate," are now in pri
sms, and under arrests, by the or
der of the Kttvg, sharing the same
fate as are the Wave U^frtif ^|? in.
This; treatment is a punishment for
remonstrating with* the Kin^ on the
shameful duplicity of his condui?

Alliance have Id bis kingjly faith :
but some of hit subjects have form
ed a just estimate of it, mod find it
deplorably wanting. It is vain, in
deed, to remind an ambitious King
of honor, gratitude, or principle;
but though lie may spurn all these,
a hint that the safety of his throne is
endangered, may bring him to a
tiuiely composition ?i'h his insulted
and determined subjects. Such a
hint, events, if not words, are dai
ly conveying; and the mystery with1
which every arrest is beclouded by a
shackled press, only tends to aug
ment the appreJiension, that the sore
lies deep, and will uot be very rea
dily healed* The conduct of Fre
derick William is as injudicious as
it is unjust. He. has put under ar
rest many celebrated professors at
the different Universities, several of
whom have thousands of pupils
straugly attached to them. Profes
sor# John, Goerres, Arndt, and the
I two Welkers, are among the num
| ber 5 of whom the last three firmly
maintained thaUio tribunal but that
of Bonn, hattfbtny authority over
theuro, and persevered successfully in
I; demanding their lil>erty on their pa
role of honor. There can be no
doubt that these proceedings will pro
j duce great odium in Prussia on the
government: and they are of such a
! nature, as rattier to exasperate the
people^ resistance, than overawe
them. It is to he hoped that all this
will end4o extorting from Frederick
William a representative, govern
i Tnenf." The Parliament of Bavaria
and of Baden are ac ting precisely
I the part, of the British Parliament
with William III. enforcing econo
* my, and reducing that dangerous ap
pendage to a free state ? a standing
army. Tbey have {received hints of;
| the government ; but have resisted alii
dictation and encroachment on their
rights with a spirit which does them
honor. These states are. likely to
I form an admirable pattern for the
other states of Germany ; and it is
! a happy presage, that the first intro
I duel ion of the representative system
| into Germany is attended- with cir
cumstances, which promise a k?ng
duration of strength and efficiency.
? With all the misery which the
French revolution has occasioned
the nations of Europe, much sub-!
j stantial good has been mingled ; if
Fr#nl;e? Bavaria, Baden, Prussia,
and SpM li have obtained, or are like
4yU*obtain. a considerable exten
sion of political liberty, we shall
bave little reason to regret the thun*
?ler storm, which has lighted on the
heads of a few tyrant*, seehig it has
cleared the political atn%>phere, and
cracked the fetters of degraded na
tions. To this consummation we
look with confidence.

Important > Treaty with the In { I
? Wc undeiwtand- that tlie I
Treat; with llie Chifipewa f rtdlan* I
has been' concluded l?y Gov. Can I
Fur lite to the U lilted States I
of a considerable portion of this Teiv
ritory, ineludingall the country upon
the Sagana river and itrliranoties.
The boundary of the tract pow pur
chased commence? at the present In
dian boundary linfwest of thi* place,
and runs from that point due west
sixty miles,- thtence in a direct line to
the head of Tonder llayriver, and
down the same to tire mouth, which
is prolmbly from seventy five to one
hundred mite* ttdrthwest of Sagana
Bay. t
The treaty h*s been concluded
upon terms equally advantageous to
to the United States fend to the In*
riians, and in a manner so satifactory
to the latter, that we learn their chief
*|>eaker, Nushemenondequet, was
despatched* by flie nation to wait for
Gov. Cass ujion this side of the Ha
vana river, and to inform him that
they felt perfectly satisfied with the
arrangement which had been made, 1
and very thankful for the attention
shewn to them.
Considerable reservations have
l*een made for them, and the means
provided for assisting them in agri
culture ; and there is reason to hope,
from the dis|Kisition thej now mani
fest, that they will liecome a aation
ry, industrious and farming people.
X Uia cession, containing more tkaii
Bvrf of acre?, is very impor
tant to this Territory. The s^ntle
| men who attended the treaty from this
pUce, com ur in opinion respecting
the quality and situation of (lie laud
and the natural advantages of (lie
country. They present the sail to
be of the first quality, heavily tian*
l>ered with immense forests ot sugar
tree mid black walnut tiiut#ei, and a
large part of it equal tn every point
of view to the Miami ami .Scioto bot
! toms in the state of Ohio.
The Sagana is stated to be a tine
large river, navigable many miles
from the Sag.ntt Bat> to* \es-e?s of
burtheu, ami far into the interior of
the country for loaded boat*. Five
considerable streams unite at a place
called La Fourche, to lot m this river,
presenting an almost unexampled in
stance of a beautiful and highly' fer
tile country being watered in the most
bountiful manner. v<
? Wt anticipate a speedy migration"
to this tract, and a great increase of
population and wealth to the territory.
BALTIMORE, OCTOBER 18. .
We have understock from a source
which we thi??k entitled to credit,
thnt the refusal of the kiug of hpain
to rani} the Florida treaty was
wholly unexpected by the President
of the United States; that so far
from any doubts of its ratification
I having been excited by the dispatches
received from Mr. Forsyth by the
Hqrnet, tfie President had, only a
day or t>vo before the receipt of the
recent despatches announcing the rc
fusalof the bpanisii king, expressed,
confidently, his beliei, that the treaty
had been ratified.
From the alwve circumstancc,
connected with what we have more
than once stated, that the influence of
I the British government tin* been the
principal cause of the rejection of
| the treaty by Ferdinand, it would
appear, that the refusal to ratify did
| not arise fiom any objection to the
provisions of the treaty ? the alterna
tive), was probably offered to Spain,
f of a rupture with Great Britain, ov
| a s accession to that pow er ot the
1 island of Cuba, if the treaty ceuiug
Florida to the United htates was ra
j tified. ?
