[SELECTED FOR THE ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE. A HEALTH TO THE OUTWARD BOUND. Fill! fill the sparkling brimmer; Fill for the moments fly! The star’s weary light grow dimmer. And the moon lades away from the sky; Fill for the signal flag is up! And the wind is veering round! In haste let us pledge our parting cup, To the health of the outward bound. Fili high! this hour to-morrow, Nor toast nor jest shall be— But a few shall meet in sorrow, While the many plough the sea! Then while we’re all together, Give the toast! let it circle round Full sails and prosperous weather, And a health to the outward bound. Let no adieu be spoken— To weep is a woman's part! Nor give we a farewell token, But a health from our inmost heart! Cft! when the wind blows live, And the rough waves roll around, The health shall shall come hack to their memory, That we drank to the outward bound! TREATY WITH MEXICO. We are informed, through a channel in which we confide, that Mr. Ellis, carried out with him, on board the frigate Constitution, which sailed a few days since, a treaty nego tiated at Washington and signed in the early part of April, by Mr. Martinez. on the part of the Mexican, and Mr. Forsyth on the part of the American Government. By the provis ions of this treaty, we understand that within three months after the ratification of it by the high contracting parties, tiro Commissioners are to be appointed by each power, which four Commissioners shall form a board, to hold their sittings at Washington, to whom shall he submitted all private claims, that within eigh teen months after their first meeting, they shall examine and1 decide on all cases sub mitted to their consideration. That imme diately after the result of their labor shall have been communicated to the Mexican Government, that Government shall issue its bonds, bearing an interest of ei/ht per cent, to the respective claimants for the amount of the award in their favor. That these bonds shall he receivable in payment of duties at the several Custom Houses of the Republic of Mexico, but that when large sums are pre sented at one time, or at one place, the Gov ernment may refuse to receive more than one half such amount. We are further informed, that all those grie vances of a public nature, which have here tofore threatened to intenupt the peace of the two countries, ineuidinirthe difficulties respect ing Texas, are substantially arranged in a sat isfactory manner.—„V.

FROM FLORIDA—TREATY WITH THE SEMINOLES—THE WAR PROBABLY' ENDED. - ’ It gives us great pleasure to announce the ar , rival at the seat of Government of Major Ge l neral Macomb, who has succeeded in pacify ing the Indians of Florida, and has made such an arrangement with them as will effectually put a stop to the further effusion oi blood in (that Territory. The country to be occupied provisionally by the Indians is situated beyond all former settlements, and the cordon of posts established across the peninsula from New Smyrna to^Tampa Bay will be furnished with a sufficient number of troops to ensure the faithful observance of the terms dictated by (Gen. Macomb, both by the white and red men. Late despatches received from Fort Gibson announce that Gen. Arbuckle and the Super intendent oflmhan A flairs, Gen. Armstrong, had, in pursuance of instructions from the Se cretary of War, made an arrangement for the future permanent establishment of the Semi noles, perfectly satisfactory to Micanopy and other chiefs, and that the Seminoles now in the West were about to remove there.—Globe. j GENERAL ORDER.

The Major-general-commanding in chief has the satisfaction of announcing to the ar my m Florida, to the authorities ot the Terri tory, and to the citizens generally, that he has this day terminated the war with the Semi nole Indians, by an agreement entered into with Chitto-Tustenugge, principal chief of the Seminoles, and successor to Ar-pi-eke, com monly called Sam Jones, brought to this port ■ by Lieutenant Col.

The j terms of the agreement a re,that hostilities im j mediately (‘ease between the parties; that the troops ofthe United States, and the Seminole and Mickasukie chiefs and warriors, now at a distance, he made acquainted as soon as possible with the fact that peace exists, and I that all hostilities are forthwith to cease on j both sides, the Seminoles and Mickasukies | agreeing to retire into a district of country in j Florida below IYase creek, the boundaries of which are as follows, viz: beginning at the most southern point of land between Charlotte harbor and the Coloosahatchee or Sauyhel river; ttience into Charlotte lnrbor by the I southern pass between Pine Island and said | point, along the eastern shore of said harbor | to Talak-Chumpko or Pease creek; thence up (that river to HatcheeTutoko or Brig creek; | thence up said creek to its source; thence eas i terly to the northern point of lake Istopoga; thence along the eastern outlet of said lake, (called Istopoga creek, to the Kissimme river; j thence southwardly down the Kissimine to lake Oke-chobee; thence south through said lake to Kcahlahatchee or Shark river; thence j down said river westwardly to its mouth; thence along the sea shore northwardly to the i place of beginning: that sixty days be allow ed the Indians north and east ofthat bounda ry to remove their families and effects into said district, where they are to remain under the protection of the troops of the United States, who are to see that they he not moles ted by intruders, citizens, or foreigners, and that the said Indians do not pass the limits as signed them, except to visit the ports which will he hereafter indicated to them.

ALEX A N DER M A COMB, JWajor-Ge neral-com ma n ding-i n Ch ief. |By command oft Vie General: E. Schriver, A. A. General. Extract from the despatch of Gen. Macomb to the Serve, t a ry of War. Knowing the slowness of the Indians in per forming any matter of national .importance, 1 did not yield to the general belief that, none would attend to my invitation, and l had the gratification to receive a visit from a young chief of considerable importance, accompan ied by several young active warriors. I ex plained to the chief the object of iny mission, telling him that Ids great lather (the Presi dent) was sorry that there bad been so much fighting between white and red children, and that for their good he recommended to them ; to cease firing oneachother, and make peace. The chief expressed himself greatly delighted ; with the prospect of peace. I told him that' if the whole nation would retire below Pease | creek, that hostilities would cease, and that they might remain there, until further arrange ments could he made. He again expressed; his gladness at hearing what I said, and pro- , ; mised that he would take my communication ' j and spread it around, being persuaded that it j would be well received by all his people. In ' a few days after he collected a considerable j party of his people, consisting of men, women, 1 | and children, and paid me another visit, t repeated to him in their presence the same 1 “talk,” and they seemed all pleased with it.— < I then made them some presents, alter which they departed much gratified, tor they were all in a most destitute condition,as to c.othing and other necessaries. On the 17th instant, Ll. Colonel Harney of the 2d dragoons, who had previously received • inv directions to open a communication with the Indians in the southern portion of the pe-j ninsula, near Key Biscayne, arrived with Ohitto-Tustenuggee, principal chief of the; Seminoles, who had been recently elected by a council held by the Seminoles and Aiieka- * sukies. Chitto-Tustenugge expressed a great j desire that the business on which lie was ' ended to meet me, might be speedily attend-j ed to. Accordingly, on the next day, a meet.- 1 ing was held, composed ofCliitto-Tustenngge, ! attended by O-che-Hadjo, a brother of Blue- I Snake, who came with him to witness the pro ceeumgs at tne request ot the Council of the ! usual ceremonies among Indians of shaking hands and smoking, I explained to the meet ing who l was, ami the object of mv mission among them, at which they immediately e sion, ami they have since been dancing and singing according to their fashion, in token of friendship and peace, in which many of our treaty, such an instrument with Indians hav ing hut little binding eflect. Nor did 1 think it politic at this time to say any thing about their emigration, leaving that subject, open to such future arrangements as the Government may think proper to make with them. No restriction upon the pleasure of the Govern-* % men! in this respect has been imposed, nor J has any encouragement been given to the In dians that they would be permitted perma nently to remain in Florida. There is every reason to believe that when the Indians remaining in Florida shalUearn the I prosperous condition of their brethren in Ar | kansas. they will, at no distant period, ask to be permitted to join them. 1 have the honor to be, sir, Very respectfully, Your ol/t. servant, ALEX.

As soon as the infor mation reached our squadron cruising in these waters, several vessels sailed for the coast of i Malay, with the intention of indicting punish ment on the savages. In yesterdays Gazette we ga\ e a brie! state ment. of the result, of this expedition. We find, however, the following interesting details on the subject, which we subjoin. The neces sary severity used towards the Malays will, we trust, have the effect of causing them to refrain from stealing and murdering, so far as the property and persons of the citizens of the United States are concerned. Corr.of the X. Y. Journal of Commerce. U. S. Frigate Columbia, \ Harbor of Singapore, Feb. 5th, 1839. \ The plot for the attack on the ship Eclipse, Captain Wilkins, was originated at Muk Kee, some 10 miles from QuXlluh Ratoo; and part of the persons who committed this murder and robbery, have been protected bv the Rajahs of Muk Kee, and a great proportion of the property and money taken to that place. This, therefore, was detuned the principal offending pl:ir<\ We learn that the s 12,000 wasdivided out, some of it was received at Uuallah Rat too and also at Soo-Soo, a place three or four miles from Uuallah Rat too. and at both of* these, ac cording to the acknowledgements of the Ra jahs in the conversation held with them, some j of the pirates were residing on our arrival on the coast. The demand for these men having been made and compliance being declared to he im possible, as the men had escaped after orr an chorage, which however was deemed to he only an excuse to render their refusal to com ply'with the demand an appearance of a mis fortune to them, rather than a decision of their councils,) our ships were run in nearer to the shore at Uuallah Rat.too, and the place can nonaded, with some damage to the town, or rather to the forts, as they were the objects to which the shots were directed. The ships were then got under weigh and stood for Aluk Kee, where the demand for the. pirates was made, without the expectation of the Rajahs of that place pursuing any course different from the one adopted by the Rajahs ofUuallah Rat.too. The demand was uticom plLd with, and the consequences, as the pro per alternative* (so deemed by our Commo dore, and 1 believe quite unanimously the sen timents of the officers,) followed. The ships were hedged in, near to the town and forts—the town being situated on a small peninsula, and each side ot the point indented by the lip of a beautiful little bay, with water , deep enough to lioat a seventy four. No boat making her appearance for an overture, up to the time specified as the limits ol forbearance, tiie ('olumbia opened her fire upon a neighbor ing fort, raking the town as she chose, quite the length of it. The first gun of the Columbia was the siirrlai for the John Adams, the beau tiful corvette, to let fly her shot; and 1 he loud roar of liercamion reverbrated from the moun tain sides, that nearly inwalled the angry lit tle ship. and as the volumes ol tin4 and piles of smoke continued to emit, from her side, t(ie Columbia slept a moment, which rendered the scene vet more impressive to one conscious that a moment more and her loud and fearful pieces would send forth their heavy metal and canister and grape, i lertremendouseannon ades, throwing 12lh shot, now boomed in their j loud report ever the still sheet, of water that, this morning,seemed to have hushed the swel lings of its bosom, as if it would favor the pur pose of destruction, which had slowly floated over its silver surface, to gain a resting place nearer to the golden beach which encased the curved lip of t he hay. The ships were within a musket shot of the beach, and the town readied to near its edge. The cannonading from both ships continued for near a half hour. Now, the halls throwing up a (doud of dust as they riddled the bamboo bouses, or rived in splinters tbe dwellings of better material; and now, the hall striking the j ! tall coca nut tree, scorched it as if a hundred j hot irons had been applied to the external coat j of its trunk, and sent up a beautiful volume of. pale blue smoke, as if it came above tin* trees from some concealed cottage, embowered in the evergreen foliage of the mountain side; an I now, the branches fcli as it* lopped by some giant pruning hook, as the tree, on mass?, Avitii its spreading top, and Avith its mingling crash, fell to the ground. One solitary being Avas seen pacing with indifference backwards and forwards, on the beach, at the right of the town, and only a few yards from the intersect ing lines of the shot, pouring in cross fires from the broadsides of the two ships; but ere long be disappeared, and was lost in the jungle. L lie tiring censed, and trie boats, already; alongside, and concealed from the view *>fthe 1 shore, were manned, as a note from the bugle , called the men to their places. Soon the little | licet, joined by the boats from the Adams, j reached the shore, and the men formed on the j beach in full view of the ships, and advanced j to enter the town at the nearest point. Soon j the port fire and the torch were applied to the | buildings, and the tinmcs ascended from dif-j ierent parts of the town, until the converging 1 and spreading volumes sent up their spiral and wnle s 1 leets, involvingevervdwelIingsavethe sacred mosque, in tiie general conflagration. The torce returned to the beach, and a mo ment more as the Hames were rapidly melt ing to a common ruin and mingling ashes ihe whole niassol the buildings of the t awn, in volving whatever oi treasury and property had been left, they contemplated the wild rage of the sheeted and irresistible element.— The bugle now sounded the retreat, to the tune ofuyankee doodle” o! olden and revolu tionary associations, and the men disembark- ; ed, as “] Tail Columbia” sent its notes over the yet still waters of the hay. In about two hours alter the boats had left the ships, the men were aga n in their places on decks, hav ing accomplished their purpose without acci dent or the firing of a gun. The inhabitants had retired from the town, | and looked from the mountains upon the ruin j of their homes. 1 have written this in haste, at the moment \ when our letter bag is closing to goby the ship' j that will bear our letters of friendship and' love, and whatever else they may contain, !

We arrived here yesterday, (Sunday,) after a fortnight’s pas sage Irom that coast. We h ave sixty-lour on the sick list; the small pox still onboard—of which three men have died.

WILLIAM 1I0GE, Executor of Wm. Kenworthy, dec’ll, may 25—7t SOME THOUGHTS ON THE STATE OF PARTIES. Whatever may he the result of the political sirii'r,rle in Virginia and elsewhere—whether favorable or adverse to the Administration— one fact must he obvious to the mind of every one, and constantly present itseH lor consider ation—and that is, that the Opposition Party is [a most numerous, determined, sincere, and honest one, able to overpower their adversa ries in some of the states—to keep thein in check in others, and to contend with them lor victory in nearly all. tts numerical strength alone would give it respectability; but when we add to this, the further fact, that it com prises among its friends some of the purest and ablest men of the country, and that in its ranks are found arrayed a large portion of our best citizens, even the advocates of those in power must admit that they have a party opposed to them Avho.se good opinion is worth having, and whose condemnation they ought, il possible, to avoid. With numbers, with talents, with zeal, and with energy, tin* t )pposition party, have how ever, now, as always, since the iron reign of Gen. Jackson, larked two essential requisites for success—requisites which their political ad versaries possess in an eminent degree—we mean GNiONand Organization. On several occasions, we believe that the Opposition party throughout the country, could have commanded triumphant majorities, as they did in Gongress—not withstanding the party drill there. Put, as soon as the occasion w as passed, in consequence of the want oj* or ganization and union on 1 he side of the oppo sition, parries relapsed into their old state, and things fell hack quietly into their former chan nels. From the nature of the ease, it follows that the party in power should he more rmnjitct, if we may use the* expression, than theonposifjon. Flit it does not, equally, follow that the oppo sition should he as divided as they an*. The latter result flows entirely from the personal predilections of mere politicians, who set up their !a \ orite candidates, rally fri * rids a round their standards, and thus excite rivalries and jealousies, or sow the seeds of disaflection or distrust. If is admitted by those who an* opposed to t he Ad mi i list ra t ion that whanoe ok crimes is the first and necessary stop in Hie regenera tion of the government, and a recunvno to constitutional and republican principles. It is then too plain to contend for or argue about, that candidates must be chosen hv whom this oh n_re can be effected. We may prove for fifty years that the administration of the go vernment is an improper one; but it* we make j the whole nation believe as we do, it will el’ I fed no practical good, unless we also make f|j<*m heiievo th**re arc* othm* men w'io will properly administer it, and persuade tnem to elect these men to perform the duty. This is somewhat tin* sit nation of t he* op[>osit ion party now. We hear them on all sides dem oust ra tin'* the corruption that prevails—but yet the moment we place before them the only etler fual means of purging the republic, by tin* (‘lection of another man as President of the Idiifed Statrs,pledged to reform existing abu ses — they cease to demonstrate, and be uni to a rgue—they differ as to shades of character or lights ol past political life, and soon grow luke warm under tin* discussion, or,what is worse, brea k oil* into irreconeileable di\ isions. Ougbi this to he* so; Ought a great and a patriotic party thus to ftiter a way its strength, —to distract its councils —to lessen its ener gies—to weaken its influence; If the contest ; is worth waging, ought if not to he waged by j a united and an orgnni/md force; Ought tlie raw militia of the people always to be exposed without diripline or concert of action to the! attacks of the trained hands and regulars of the Ad mi nisi ra t ion; We hold that there is nothing, absolutely nothing, in the rharacter, previous history,and political opinions of either Mr. (’lay, General 1 Iarrison, or Gen. Scott—[we omit the name of Mr. Webster, because, it is admitted that, at this time, he will not be a candidate] — which should prevent any one of them from ob taining the united vole of the whole opposition partv in every state ol the I nion from Maine to Georgia, and from Delaware to Missouri.— Jt is true that we may differ with them all, on : some points: we may not. approve ot the whole j of their past public career; we may not haw held the doctrines that they maintained, but what has that to do with the question now he- j tore tilt* people. < )|d tilings have passed away. TheTariiThas been compromised-Got' run I Im provement by the < tenoral < iovernment among j t lie sla les has been stopped by the action ofihe states themselves—the* bank ot the bnited States has ceased to he a National lust it t it inn— and, in short, all the former topics ofdithcuilv adjusted, a ml some ol (hem almost forgotten. The question now is, shall the government he administered as it is, or shall there he a RK F()RM. Mr. (’lav is in favor of a reform— so is Gen. ! Iarrison— so is Gen. Scott—so are ! other distinguished men who may he men- ! tinned as w’orthy of the dignity of (’liief Ma gistrate. Who that is in favor of Reform can hesitate upon this view’ of the suleectr We know that the hug hear ot old partv names has been used w itli elitet, to frighten grown up children, tor years; hut, in the pre sent case, ewn liiis miserable trick cannot avail, because* each ol t lie ca nd id a tes now be fore the opposition, (ot course, we omit as we did before, Mr. Webster) was a “Republican ! ol the Jellersou school,” and “a Democrat of tlie fast war.” The administration party with their arrus t on led political foresight ha\ c* entered the con test anew, with a single candidate, and that man already announced and in the field. \\ hi 1st their opponents are choosing their favorite, the course has been cleared, and a dear start gam ed. Mark the evil ellects of delay and hesi tation even with these well trained \ /olit icia i is? on a minor point.
