from siles' iveeklt register BALTIMORE, July 14. Mit. Adams' oration, or, as the secretary himself is pleased to call it, his 4address,v delivered in the capitol, at Washington City, before a very numerous assemblage of people, on the 4th inst. has been received; and we should liave cast to the dogs" all the pioceedings of the 'holy alliance," &c. inserted in this sheet, to have made room for it, if, from the circumstances just above stated, the ordinary routine of our bufeihnd not been a little deranged: but it will come in excellently well after these doings of the legitimates, and shall be inserted in our next. A highly finished composition was expected of Mr. Adams his talents as a writer are well known and as highly appreciated; frm the testimony of all who heard him, his character as an orator is not les exalted. On a subject about which so much has been said, a great Ieal of new matter was not to be hoped for yet the. matter of the address is quite novel, ami its manner is beautiful in many instances sublime. There is a warmth and feeling too, in it, that has surprized all who did not recollect his eloquent vindication of general Jackson in his famous letter to Don Onis. This oration has already been read by thousands, and as yet we have heard but one opinion of its excellence. FRANCE. M. Lavalette received the pardon of the king and has jut returned to Pari. His heroic wife, ever since his escape, has been in a state of complete derangement brought on by her anxiety and sufferings at a time when she was in bad bodily health. NETHERLANDS. It appears that vacillation has made such progress in Amsterdam, that out of the population of 200,000 souls in the first quarter of 1817, not one individual was attacked with small-pox. PROCLAMA TIONT. By Major General Andrew Jackson, Governor of the Provinces of the. Floridas, exercising the powers of the captain general and of the intendant of the Island of Cuba, over the said Provinces, and of the Governor of said provinces respectively. Whereas, by the treaty concluded, between the United States and Spain, on the 2 2d day of February, 1819, and duly ratified, the Provinces of the Floridas were ceded by Spain to the United States, and the possession of the

said Province is now in the United States : Jlnd whereas the Congress of the U. States, on the third day of March, in the present year, did enact, that until the end of the first session of the seventeenth Congress, unless provisions for the temporary government of the said Provinces be sooner made by Congress, all the military, civil, and judicial powers exercised by the officers of the existing government of the said Provinces, shall be vested in such person or persons, and shall be exercised in such manner as the President of the United S'ates shall direct, for the maintaining the inhabitants of the said territory in the free enjoyment of their liberty, property and reliinon : and the President of the United States has by his commission bearing date the tenth day of said March, invested lr.e with all the powers, & charged me with the several duties heretofore held and exercised by the Captain General, Intendant and Governors aforesaid : I have therefore thought fit to issue this my PROCLAMATION, making known the premises, and to declare that the Government heretofore exercised over the said Provinces, under the authority of -pain has ceased, and that of the United States is established over the same ; that all laws and municipal regulations whicirwere in existence at the cessation ol the late government, r 'main in full force ; and all civil officers charged with their execution, except those whose powers have been specially vested in me, and except also, such officers as have been intrusted with the collection of revenue, are continued in their functions, during the pleasure of the governor for the time bein, or until provision shall otherwise be made. And I do hereby exhort and enjoin all the inhabitants and other persons within the said Provinces to be faithful and true in their allegiance to the United State, and obedient to the laws and authorities of the same under full assurance that their rights will be under the guardianship of the United States: and will be maintained from all force ar.d violence within and without.

The following is an extract from liumfs History. "Of all the extraoidinary schemes adopted by these legislators, (Cromwell's parliament,) they had not leisure to finish any, except that which established the legal solemnization of marriage by the civil magistrate alone, without the interposition of the clergy. They found themselves exposed to the derision of the public. Among the fanatics of the house, there was an active member, much noted for his longer prayer., sermons and harangues. He was" a leather seller in London: his name was PrLse-"-od Barebone. This ridiculous name,v7iich seems to have been chosen by some poet or allegorist, to suit so ridiculous a personage, struck the fancy of the people, and they commonly afixed to this assembly the appellation of Barebone'a Parliament. The brother cf thb Praise

It was usual for men at that time to change their names from Henry ,Edward, "Anthony, William, which they regarded as heathenisff, into others more sanctified and godly ; even tne New Testament names, James, John, Peter, were not held in such regard as hose which were borrowed from the Old Testament, Hezekiah, Habbakuk, Joshua, Zerubbabel.
