In the month qfSeptember lost,a convep. Hon was made between the Governments o: Mexico and the United States, wherein i was agreed t!j:i| tlje claim? of a pxivattf na. [ ture upon Mexico by citizens of tho Uni ! ted States should be referred to a Baardo Commissioners, two of whom were to be ap pointed by Mexico and two by the Umtec ! S ates, it was further agreed, that, in rase , ofa diffetence ofopinion between the Com 1 missioners, the questions should bo decidee I by lite Kmg of Prussia, or an arbiter to be I selected by him, who should proceed t< j Washington and reside there until the tor 1 mination of his functions. The ratification j of this convention were to be exchanged a Washing on on-or before the 10th of Feb ruary. ; TLp f!nmmif?nn re.aret to S.I V that llr * o t me i(:us stiplulntcd for flic exchange of tin | ratifications has passed awny, without til performance of this concluding obligation 01 , the part of Mexico. There are only nvi , reasons given for the omission. The firi : is contained in a letter from the Mexicai i Minister to t lie Secretary of Stale, dated o! , j the 1 liliFebruary, lS3i), in which h<* say I i that ho hnd been informed on the 7th c i 1 December, by tht acting Secretary of For I i o:gn Relations ofMex'co, that the despatch , I es relating to the convention had been rc . ceived, but that Senor Cuevas, the Minis;* > in Ordi lary, was preparing to go to Jalap I for the purpose of treating with Admin , Baudin, and that the Government had bee , subsequently occupied entirely with the . affair, and had not boon abb* even to c> , amine the said convention. No reason J assigned for the inactivity of the Govcrr . mer.t prior to the 7th of I) cemher, altboug ,; sufficient,; time intervened between S'*pteir J ' cr and December for the reception and e? II animation of the convention, the ratificatio I j of which could scarcely have occupied mot . i than an hour. The reason is altogethc i . CXI ~. ...wl ii n f i' iel ir> tnr. UISU Uiv.it "111 imam ijiuviv. ? > \ Another reason which is assigned throng (1 j the medium of the Consul that the Kin n i of Prussia declined to act. s arbiter, as Me: ! ico had been informed by the Prussia s | Cnarge d'Affaires. But as no direct info s i ma don of this description has reached tfc ' United States, the committee think some e roT must i ave occured, as the good undoi } standi'."1? between Prussia and the Unite S ates woiSd in all probability, haveinduci i a communication to ihe United States : well as Mexico, h'l,,c arbitration had bet * declined. It is not .?* good reason for tl om ssion to ratify the co7*venlion, bccau: another Power could easily i?.^vc been sul ' stituted u the place of Prussia. '' ,< j in a note from the Mexican Minia'cr I - - _ t riii. , ^ the Secretary of State, dated on tuc iota , , February, 1839, he d( clares that the opprc b ition then expresod by hisGovernmcnt wit s t regard to a former Minisfes did not exten totiie preparation, publication, and use mad "? by that person of a pampidet which!) he prir i, 'cd at Philadelphia, when he supposed, i i, good Faith, tliat his mission was entirely er i,; (Jed. This disavowal, removing.ihe nbjec .'lion which prevented the renewal ofdipft ? ma. ? irs!> r w"?'

In the mean time, Cor n ; gress is about to close its session, and th > | committee cannot, with any probability < d j having it discussed, offer to the House an it j mode in which it may exercise its legislativ o I powers.

That the unreasonable procra: ! tination which has attended every step n I the part ofTlexfco in the progress of th r i negotiations between the two Government i for many years past, justifies a hope the ; thr minister who is ab( ut to be sent to t'w s i country by the P.csident will press for a ! speedy and definite settlement of the de mnnds which have been so repeatedly, bi ; in? fi* c u dly, made upon ' Mexico by th Gov? rnmont of the Unied States. Resolved, That this House will impatient s , ly expect the result of this mission ; an? ; if it shall provo unavailing, will sustain th p j Executive branch of the Government in an j j ulterior measures which mav become ne r* * | cessnry. 11 The House being at the time exceeding j ly pressed by impending business, this re 3 | port was, without being read, laid on th j table. It is of interest, however, as presen > ting the views of the Committee on Foreig -1 Relations upon tho matter of which iitrcats 3' These views it is probable, if time had a 2 lowed, would have been seconded by a vol of the House in affirmation of the repori Nat. lnte/l. s ' J A Good U.v.?A well known simple " tion, who had for many years been cm ?

Appeals were j taken in all the cases to the Supreme Court, id j and the question was elaborately argued ' before that tribunal by severa of the first j lawyers of the country. The true friends of of i the constitution and of a solid, beneficial, al I federal union of the states will rejoice to learn jc j that the judgement of the District Court was : reversed by the unanimous concurence of the Supreme Court, with the exception of the ]. judge who presided below. The National n, Intelligencer, in reference to the cases, says : ie The judgments rendered in the throe cases 3- by the Circuit Court in Alabama are all reversed The Opinion of a majority of the Court was read by the Chief Justice, and wc understand it as maintaining these pro positions: , i 1. That, by the comity of Nations, Cor1! porationscun contractus well as sue, in oth. | er nations us well as in that in.which they in exist, or by whose Government they are created. , I 2.

For the Cheraw Gazette. Complaints of bad times have been common in all age* No period was ever so good, but many would think former days were not so bad, and present days might bo better. This is a period remarkable for complaints. Whetb4* er there be au?f icnt cause for them, I will not ay. Every man in this matter will judge j for himself. "Scarcity of cash, heavy taxes, j frequent suit*, severity of creditors, bad debts, j ill management of public affairs," &c. &c. are i coinmou topics of conversat:on in most j complaints. But F cannot find that complaining ' J has mended the times; for they still continue i ! the s:ime. Since complaining Is so considerable a part of thca business of the day, it is necessary soma rules should be presented, to guide us in so important an affair. Until better are provided, I wou.cl recommend the fol. | lowing : I Never complain of any thing before you have i examined it,and are sure i hat it is an evil. Judge ! one of a matter merely from its present appearI ance, or rrom your present feelings: but conI filler its natural tendency, and probable con! sequence; for, however disagreeable it may be i at present?yet, if it be naturally productive ! of superior good, it is not. on the whole, an evil,' i or propc^mattcr of complaint. It you are not! capable, at present, of making a proper judg-1 ment of its probable tendency, suspend your! complaincs, till you are wiser, or can see the issue. Never complain of that as a grievance, which is necessary to prevent or remove something worse. Complain not of that which couht not have been prevented,; or cannot be remedied .* tb'S would be :mpropriety, as we! 11 ssssssbsssssssbuskssssssHsssss I as folly; for it would be murmuring at provi* dence. Complain not of that which proceed* from your own choice, or your own conduct; but silently censure your error; and, from your experience, learn wisdom and virtue.? Never complain of that which it is ia your power to mend. Remove the evil; and there will be nothing to complain of. Complain not of that which becomes painful merely from the irregularity of your own temper: but correct vourtemoer; and all will be well. -? - - ?i*uiuplain of the conduct of othe. f, when you act in the eame manner, or in a manner that shews you have the same disposition, and would act like them, in the same circumstance.-, but first reform yourself; and then, perhaps, your example will do something to reform them. Complain not of that in the grow which is faulty in f art.* nor wish to destroy what only wants mending. Would you throw away your whole coat because the tailor erred in the cut of the cuff! Complain not, when complaints do no good. This is spending your breath and disturbing your mind, in vain.? Never complain of mere trifling inconveniences. This shews a trifling mind. Complain not oi that which you do not, and cannot, understand. This indicates rashness. Com Jaia not of disappointments which originate from unreasonable or extravagant expectations. Bring your view9 down to the standard of nature : and your disappointments will be few, and small. Never eerve like a piece of inanimate nature, to echo other people's complants j per*; haps, they are designing men, and wanf you to be their tool. Never complain of a matter after it has been fully explained, or unswerably justified. This would be obstinacy and. perversenesa. Never complain to shew yo ir own importance, or to make a noise. Per* haps you will raise a noise that you did not expcc*, and sink, from supposed importance, into real ii.sirrnifficance. Npvor cnmnlam , O WWM.r*U.U VI that which m no respect concerns you: nor search after faults, for the sake of talking about item. This is to be a busy body in other men's matters. Complain not of grievances, but with a view to remove them; nor of misconduct in others, but for the sake of reforming it. If no good end is to be answered, you may as well be silent. But if you will say, "these are rigid rul-'s: may we not complain at all?** What matter :s it whether you do or not? Let every man study his own duty and comply with his own obligations; know himself, and amend his faults; be as good as he ought, and by his example make others as good as ho can ; conduct as virtuously as he thinks others ought o conduct; and fill his sphere at well as he thinks others ought to fill theirs.* and he will see less evil to complain of, aud be less disposed to complain of what he sees. Q. R.S. For the Cheraw Gazette. Mr. Editor,?Be it known to you as also your readers th it 1 consider mvsclf and Friends as very ill-used gentlemen f >r several very obvious reasons: In the first place there is a most dangerous Disagreeaablo not to say selfish spirit got out among the people particular among the Fa I say the spirit ihat hfcs manifesed itself among them, is dangerous, Disagreeable, and selfish, it is the spirit of monopolization. They have tak^n the liberty of preventing my Friends from selling grog and necessarily me frem drinking it is a privilege as old as Noah'd day for lie press the Grape and drank the juice there off. A privilege as D??nr to us as our souls? a privilege as l)ear as the constitution, concerning which they keep such a racett. a privilege the loss of which has nearly cost me rny life Would you believe it sir, Would vou b"lieve it Mr. Editor I have been compelled to sleep in a house ever since the usurpation of our rights by theso men of mono no! v.

They tell us it is For the good of our families and yet you will assist mv Wife and child by the death of their Father and Husband. I' is all monopolization they drink all and me none, and yet this is tho boasted land of Freedom, yes the Freedom of the rich and powerful, but not of the poor and impotent this is the chivalric State of Sonth Carolina, this place where men arc limited in their drink to the will of tho few Rich and powerful- Ch my country my country to infamy art thou fallen.
