They took with them from the vessel a tort of rice, on iron put, and half a bushel of potators—the pont toes they planted, mill alien we were there, the whole side of the island was covered with them. They had built live lonises, and had 1,300 dried skins. We took them and their skins on board, and brought them away from the island." The fact is tint perhaps generally known, that the cession, by this country, of the two Florida' to Spain, in 1783, was made at a substitote fur Obi. ramar, the restitution' of which we hail before for mally promised. M. de S.F.VELINEF., in his hire. dattiom to the History qf the American War, gives the following curious account or two, transaction, which he affirms lie received Irma the hands of the person himself who negotiated the peace of 1783, M. GERARD DE ItAY,II.VAI. : " The King of Spain, Chaska 111. demanded peremptorily the restitution orGilirsitar In order to obtain it, be offered to France to cede to her the Spanish ha:f of the island of St. Domingo, on condition that she wood charge herself with furnishing Englonal with as equivalent fur Gibraltar. After many lung Riad sharp dust usatuus, M. de Baysieval, whit had proceeded to London, the British Minister In admit the restitution of Gibraltar as the basis of arrangement, sad the only question Low related to the determination of a proper equivalmit. " During the discussion of this point, however, a political remorse struck the British Premier, Loud Shelburne. In a familiar conversation with M. de itayncval, he gave him to uoderstand, by a very expressive gesture, that were be to Coll. sent to the ceding of Gibraltar to Spain, he would expose himself to the risk of loosing his head on the sealrold._ "By a singular eitincitlence. M. de Vergennes (the French Minister) was tortionted with tiara much of the same kind. He had promised Martinique as one of the indemnities, without thinking how much the national pride would be wuundetl at wring an ancient possession of Fvattec delivered over to its enemy for the sake of pleasing the Spanish Go vernment. _ _ _ " 111.0 c Rsyncval concealed this change of opinion from the Enghob Miiii.ter, a n d continued, notwithstanding, to insist ea pinch as ever fur the fulfilment of his word. It was 116.11 that the Cabinet of St. James's (not swore that Spain had au longer the eviqualent of Martinique to offer then.), first offered one of the Florida., and theta both of them. This pea/position was ininiedi:ittly transmitted to Versailles. The Count Arend., Ambassador from Spain, and furnished with fall powers, was called there to receive the eiiinwiunicetion of this dirpatth.
