Subsidy paid by this Country to France had been regul4rly„actinitted, up: to the month of May, at the rate of 800,000 dollars per month. A new expedient has since been hit upon for enabling the French Government to avail itself 'of the resources' of Spain to an extent which will 'not be limited by those difficulties which;. must 'sooner or later have put a stop to the extradtion of specie,.. A. l?an of five millions 'of 'dollars has been negotiated at Paris, iniavodrof this,Governmerit'i Or, More pro perly speaking,•in favour of that of France, • as it is not to be imagined that any part of it:will ever find, its way into this Ci;untry or be ,applied to any iither purpose than that'Of the payment' or the stipu. fated tribute.

In this persuasion ) and, in order to remove every, hostile appearance in his connexion with the latter Power, he resolved to "propose to his Ally the con f altesion of a new Treaty, by which pecuniary succours should be sub. stituted for the succours of Troops and Slaps, which he had engaged`to furnish to France by the Treaty of Alliance. After long and difficult negotiations, the King congratulated' himself' on having, at lmt,_ obtained the ebjeft of his amicable views, 'by the conclusion of a Treaty of Subsidy.' Confiding in the uprighttsest of his intentions, and in the pacific sentiments which had prompted him to take this step, His Majesty. was ftilty per. suaded that the British Government would not fail to appreciate this very unequivocal flak of friend. ship. The complaints brought forward soon'after wards by Mr. Frere s against the above.mentioned Convention—complaints which he has at different times renewed, though always in very vague terms, and without ever making an essential and decisive point of them —were, _therefore, a real subjeft of surprise to His Catholic Majesty. Nevertheless, answers full of nsoileration and'i:andour were, by his order, made to them; in which answers were set forth the motives %Lich had led Itini to make a Treaty, of which the English Government had the less room for complaint, as it was solely out of le. gard to them that His 'Majesty had determined to ' conclude . At, nearly the same time, His Britannic,Majesty's Minister having addressed*to my.Court•representa- Lions of the Armaments which he pretended • were carrying on in our ports,. and which he. supposed to he dir,e4ted again .

At the same time, as the Court of. Madrid was not enabled to form an exaft and fixed judgment of the prineiplea and the cooduel which the 11 , i tish . Go , vernment proposed to, 1-llow, .in accuuat •of the . equivocal langu.ge in which Mr. Prere always en. veloped his repreientations, it iovited . him to.ex . .. pres himself in a , cl ear and precise m anner as to.t h e, intentions` and' the' views of his G overnm e nt w i t h regard to Spain. It „was .in consequence of. this' hank and friendly, invitation, that His Britannic Majesty's Minister at last particularizz.d.'to my Court, in a Note which he had tran,mitied to it m the 18th liebrUary -last, the conditions on which. his GovernMent would be dispotied to . recogni.ethe' neutrality of Spain.

Such were the relations subsisting between the two Nations, when, hi the month of September last, some discontent, having broken out in Biscay, 1-li. Majesty ordered the embarkation of a part of the Troops whiCh were in Garrison at Feriol, in Order to their being transported, without delay ,to the place where the ,disorder had occurred. Then it was, that the Enemies of Spain, sounding the alarm, under the pretext ,that considerable •armaments were . carrying on in her Ports, sought to communicate their feigned uneasiness to the Brktishtoiernment, by placing before them in the most hostile colours; a measure as foreign-to the interests of England,. as it was indispensible to the stifling. in their birth movements which had manifested themselves in' a Province of Spain. Then •it was, that the - British • Charge d'Affaires, hurried on by reports which malevolence had exaggerated,• and without cumin. ing either the nature, the extent, or the well known' object of these .pretended armaments, made coat. plaints of. them ,in allote, dated_ t he 27111 cPternher. last, in which he represented ihem as an hostile ag. gression 'against his Govesikpent, 'antl•as a defiance vireo to Erigifind,.;,and cqressed himself in other , terms not less injurious , to the,reputa (ion of the King, ihan cotitrary to the 'relations which sirbsisted.ik. • iween the two Countries: , • Altlisiughsuch reproaches, in return. for the proofs which the King had always given -,of his eagerness, to strengthen the bonds Or friendship united him the Brit hh 'Gdirerritrie.nt, Were of 'a nature to;exeite in him the greatest surprise, His- , Ma. jesiy,..neveriheJes ; i:, dkreeled answers to the intern. •perare. representations at Ir.
