Windsor, and proceeded to town to meet his Royal-
Highness.—The Royal Duke and suit arrived at Glou-
cester house last night. at a quarter past ten o'clock in
his carriage and six. We are extremely happy to say his•
Royal Highness :gyrated in most excellent health ; it io•
scarcely necessary to add, that the meeting of the Royal
Duke and Duchess was most affectionate.
A letter of u recent date. tram Madrid, repeats that
the Government of Spain, has begun to talk agin abou
the expedition to South America, and has decreed that
there shall he a loan of 6u millions of teals, about
600,0001. ; but a Royal Ordinance, though it may an-
thorise the State to borrow, cannot oblige any man to
end : accordingly, there is not a dollar forthcoming on
the occasion, and in the mean time the ships rot, the
sailors starve, and the soldiers desert their colours. It is.
alleged that the Ambassadors of Creat Britain, France,
Austria, and the United States, have expressed strong
displeasure at the decree for putting to death such fo-
reigners as shall assist the American Insurgents.

Goulbern on that of the British, and since rctified Lv
the President of the United States. The chief points
which arc arranged by this Convention, relate to the
right of fishing on the coastt of North America and New-
taindland, the line of demarcation between the British
possessions and the territories of the United States, and
the extension of the existing Commercial Convention
for ten years further. It dues nit touch upon any • of •
those questions of our maritime laws, which have inci- -
dentully been brought into discussion by the Navigation
Acts of the last Congress. These are to be the matter
of Baum negotiation.—The debate on. the Seminole
