The treaty has been concluded upon :rmi equally advantageous to the Unite J Slates and to the Indians? and in a ma in r so satisfactory to tnc latter, that we learn their chief speaker, Nushcmcnondequet. was despatched the nation to wait for Gov. Cass upon this side of the Sagana liver, and to inform him thai they kit peri ctly satisfied with the arrangement w nch had been made and verj thankful for the attention shewn to them. Consi terabtc reservations have been made for the m and the means provided for assisting them in agriculture, and there is reason to hope, from the disposition they now manifest, that they will become a stationary, industriou i and farming people. This cession, containinsv more than si r millions of acres, is very important t ) this Territory, The gentlemen who attended the treaty from this place concur in opinion respecting the quality and situation of t le land and the natural a ivamaes of t ic country.

The only Informal; u c have been able to gather from this arrival ia, that Mr Foryth wi I r ii iin at Madrid tili further in st 'mi aions shail have been received from the President; that the Spanish King tL t ioi tafact teuse to ratiiy the treaty tor ceding the Florins , but suffered1 the time limited for that purpose to elapse, with an understanding or an expectation, that the V iited St;trs would consequently nv aii herself of the Flordas by immediate occupation ; that Ferdinand was induced to tins passive measure in consequence of the interference of the British government which had put in its Claim for the ccsi;i oi the Islands of Cuba, or far some other equtvalent, as an offset to the proposed Cessi n to the United vates.
