goußtoh between tbit country and the Uni
ted States, which la still actively carried cn
between the Marquis Wellesley and Mr.
Pinkney.'
It b said that government have reach ed
to send out a new Minister to the United
States j and that this measure has been
adopted through the active influence of the
Marquis Wellesley. The report of a trea
ty between France and America being ac
tually concluded at Paris is not believed;
but, whether it is concluded or not, com
mon sense requires that we should forth
with send a Minister to America, a* some
one was expected there to replace Mr.
Jackson. v
[The content* of the following letter are
of to extraordinary a nature, that we hard
ly know what to think. If it is not true,
the administration will certainly at once
disavow it; otherwise we suppose an in
quiry will be instituted by the Representa
tives of the people. This is the first inti*
roation we have of an American Min
ister at the Court of King Joe. Nor do we
recollect of any such nomination being
submitted to the Senate.]
Jkxtrtet qf a letter from an jfmerfeen
gen/fcman in Cadiz, dated Tfth Janu
ary, 1810.
- * I have just seen Madrid dates to the
31st instant, and cannot avoid relating to
yea a curious fact mentioned in a letter
under that date, from a person of respec
tability—“ Yesterday, (the 30th Decem
ber,) the Criminal Court, appointed by the
benevolent intruder. King Joseph, took
cognisance of the cause of t an Irish clergy
man, who aett at Charge det jlffairet <f
the United Statet in thit capital, and
who has been imprisoned upwards of two
months by order of the usurper." Uhtil
now, it was not known here that the pre
sent American administration was playing
a double game in Spain ; and that whilst
they gave orders to Mr. Erring to fop w
the Supreme Central Junta in the charac
ter of their representative, they also had
another agent near the Court of the in
truding Monarch. The few Americans
here have seen with deep regret this dou
ble game, and cannot help drawing a com
parison betwixt the legislative government
of Spain and that of the usurper. The Jun
ta treats Mr. Erring with all possible re
spect and attention, while King Joseph im
prisons and ill treats the agent, represent
ing near his person, the American govern
ment. Since this circumstance has trans
pired, I blush to meet my Spanish friends;
however, I am glad to observe they dis
criminate between the act of a set of men
who would wish to favqpr French usurpa
tion and tyranny, to answer their private
and the wishes «f all true Ameri
cana who surely never can approve, they
say,«n attempt against the liberties of a
great and independent nation.**
, Extract front the tame fer ton, dated 24th
January,
° Since the defeat of the French in the
passes of Siena Morena, all Is again in
confusion in Madrid. We have just learnt
that King Joe, the Barbarian, hus ordered
the beautiful custom-house, post-office, ard
other publick buildings In Madrid, to be
immediately demolished; by this time 1
suppose those elegant edifices no longer
exist. Joseph consulted his friends re
specting the demolition of the magnificent
new palace he inhabits, but this has been
suspended for the present. Meanwhile his
rapacity and that of his myrmidons is be
yond conception ; they rob and plundel the
plate, jewel* and other valuable effects of
the churches, convents and individuals,
and such is their avidity for gold that they
even scrape off the gilding of picture
frames and columns, and burn every ray
of tissue they meet with. This conduct of
the French induces the Spaniards to be
lieve their visitors are about quitting that
capital. God grant they may, and the
kingdom toe, for as long as a Frenchman
remains in Spain there W|H be no peace or
happiness.”

We have already suggested to you sun
dry considerations why it is deemed ad
viseable to’ lend to the following Prox your
assistance at the ensuing election. These
considerations since our last address, have
acquired additional importance and weight.
In proportion as the precepts of Washing
ton are abandoned and departed from—in
proportion ns those principles that ani
mated our heroes of *76, both in the cabinet
and in the field, become unpopular—in pro
portion as experience, that test of the in
tegrity of principle is discarded and wild
and obscure visions of philosophy substi
tuted, in the same proportion does it be
come the sacred duty of every honest pa
triot to redouble his exertions, to use every
means consistent with honour and'truth to
insure the success and advancement of his
political maxims. We confess that we
should feel an honest pride to discover in
our native State symptoms of political con- .
valeacence, surroundedas'she is by the ma- I
niaof democracy now raging with such vi
olence. No duty imposed by Divine Provi
-dente on man is written In more solemn and

easy hour of national prosperity, when pro
uidenee smites upon us, little more is left
for mortals to do thaqto *qjsT With grati
tude such favours. On the other baud* it
is both cowardly and pMillaafaMus, and a
sure evidence that we are unworthy of
such benedictions, if we fail to contend (or
them during the season of adversity. Hea
ven seemed to have leaned ns a Wash
ington thit we might justly appreciate
the benefit; and now that he has left us to
reap the reward the well deserving, and
nothing but his principles rediaia for ns to
follow, it Is our solemn and hnystrious duty
t 6 support them both by precept and ex
ample. Rely upon it Gentlemen you are de
ceived by his deceived,
and it requires not the tongue of mopirß
tion to prophecy thsta fumisaioa of your
efforts will testify this fact to your sorrow.
Those of our friends who are saqgpin* for
the support of measures more prmhpii de
cisive and energetick, are their
allegiance to such principle* to tog*** the
present system. It is not the cWacter of
prudence or patriotism toyfat the ha

Britannic! Majesty’s Speech, to Parliament,
delivered by commission, the SSd.—lt to of
considerable length. The first nine paragraphs
relate to the expedition to Fluahhuy, to events
in Austria, Sweden, Spam and Portugal,
which are well kht Wn. The only paragraph
which respects the United States is the tallow
ing r—
“ Hi* Mqjesty commands ua to acquaint yoh
that th* intercourse between hia Majerty’s
Minister to America, and the government of
the United Stetesi has been suddenly and ua
expectsdfr Mhrrupt-d. Hia Matotey sincere
ly regrets this Stent i .He has, however, r«.
ceived the strongest assurances from the
American Minister resident at this Court, that
the United States are desirous of maintaining
friendly remons between the two countries—
This desire Wil! be met by a
disposition on the part of Ns Majesty.**
The other paragraphs allude to the trade
and revenue of the kingdom, which sre stated
to be highly sattoftetory j and to the becesaity
of a vigorous opposition to the unabated ani
mosity and violence nf France.
In the House of Lords the numbers in fa
vour of the Address, in answer to the Speech,
was 144—against it 92—ministerial mriority
S 3 —ln the Commona for the Addfesa 963
against it 167—majority for Ministen 96.
