It is no longer doubted that our Govern ment will meet midi oppolition from the Spaniards, when an attempt is made to take poffelficn of Loui- Cana, and that the Spanifh Minifter has objeßed to the right which France claims of alienating this country to the United States. The truth is, that there is a concerted plan between the Courts of Spain and France, and that the Americans art: only made ufe of as tools to prevent the Ente,lith from felting on the territory ceded to them. At all events our Adminifiration appears refolved to make all oh flacles which May be thrown in their way yield to force: they confider the quiet claim of LONAPALTI equal to a jolt title." Great complaints are made in the American Papers againft the infident condua of the crew of a French privateer, which may be laid to have blockaded the port of Philadelphia, as the brings to all vein's in ward and outward bound. This humiliating fight has been for fume time witneffed from the different wharfs in the town, and yet no Peps are taken to put a glop to this grofs intuit.

The ftrength of the latter is at prefent efttmated at zoo,ooo men. The Camp of St. Omer conlifls of 70h000 men ; and on the coaft between Boulogne and (Mend too,ooo men are in cantonments. The mediation of Raffia having been rejeßed, the Emperor has, we undertiand, propofed 2 Congrefs ; but this propoial will probably (hare the fame fate as the mediation. It is hardly to be fuppofed, that two powers, who have mutually evinced fo much hatrcd and contempt, fhould agree to an amicable compo fition without fount &alive blow having been (truck by one •r the other. The &ft refult of the negociations which for fome time pad have been carried on between the Northern Powers and our Government, is the evacuation of Hanover by a very confiderable part of our army.— As thole negociations are dill continued without in termiffion, they may be etpeded to lead to conk queues ilia more important.
