Since the period when riteiandielY events, by a na-
Aural cor.suquence, communicated.to, Spanish America
`.the germ of 14.evolutirm, bud .caused dcplora:;ic efforts
!to be openly made fur the purpose of seraratiag the
4autticeta of that territory frinn their Itgitimate lUrr.arult,
:Catholic Majesty hos invaiialSty fluiatod his con-
'duct the following prinFiles
Ist. To employ .Ivory meaus depenOtng,lspion'iimatX

,in point of in.ilicy;consideratiens of
. such weight that tite eyes*Of ought to be fisted
upon a conjuncture which Alley load to a new order of
afi'urs in its•poiitical and commercial relations. •
The united efforts of the principal European Powers
have already annihilated that. disz:Strous system w!tich
gave birth to the Amerkart Revolution, but it still re-
mains for them tt, put down this system in America
itself,- where its effects arc of the most serious nature. .

His Catholic Majesty never having lost sight of the
two pt.:ll6oas above stated, and bring always animated
by the desire of petting an es to the effusion of bleat,
and to those devastations which ate the deplorable con-.
sequences oi'a war of this nature, has only treitetl for
art opportunity of calling the attention of the High
Allied Powers is an object which has several times
formed the attbject of notes that have been transmitted
to them, and recentry.of negotiations carried on in so
amicable a manner with his Royal High Less the Prince
Regent of Great Britain.
The insurrection of Perninabnce made a deep im-
pression upon his Catholic Majesty, and at tho moment
when Jr,. wished to rec:anunual this aveat to ths-attr..r...
tion of the Soyereignr. his Allies, it was also necessary
to demonstrate its direct relations with the general
interest.

It has been with the greatest satisfaction that his
Mitiosty has receivad the answer of his High Allies.
They open a way for very important negoeiations, and
may lead the Powers to lino-fore in tli;.! unfortunate
state of circumstaaces in which America is placed, iu
order to employ all the moons that pteacneu and vigour
suggest to bring under subjection the revolted Provinces,
and put an end to the immorality and politica conta-
gion arising from such a state of affairs.
In outer to give effect to the first mcasuros so happily
commenced, his Majesty is of-opinion, that the moment
is arrived when he is called. upon to make known, in a
categorical and soloun manner, to his High Allies. the
principles which he has prescribed to himself, to °poem
the good which he proposes, and such as might be ex.
pected from his sentiments of humanity.
Referring, therefore, to the overtures which he has
already mak, his Majesty now do tares, that the lid.
lowing are the points upon which be has intivxibly de.
terutined

atvly upon their submission.

to him by his High Allies, and whhh may be cam-

His Majesty is therefore persuaded, that nothing can
any longer oppose the opemog of r,egociations on the
haw above laid down, and which, he is convinced, are

papers that-her Majesty expressed a wish to be conveyed:
thither by water. On Thursday an answer waireceiveels
at Guildhall front General Taylor, conveying her Ma-
jesty's most gracious thanks for the offer, and informing,
them, at the sane tinee, that her Mitjety had never
et.:presed such an intention.

The
.Margravine of Anspaeh had, in lieu of her
dowse, 1,000!. a year granted her by the King of
Proseia, upon the transfer by the late Margraye of hs
Priecipalities to the Crown of Prussia. This 2,0001.

Government of Prussia, was dep.) ited et an eminent

• The Feeham races commenced on Tuesday ; but, al-
though the sports were exec:it:et, the course was but

people front London were never seen.
Accounts trout Stockport state, that on Tuesday late
the town was in a state of tranquillity. Hundreds of
the spinners had returned to their work, and seem very
sorry for what has happened. There ore many who.
still refire employment ; but as the must refractory of
them have been taken up and committed to prison, it

journeymen litre mtarot,d to work, particularly at the
mills of a Mr. Gray, yet the workmen come in but
ak)wly.
The expected meeting of Colliere was held in the
nele,,htiGuritoA of Manche ter on Monday. The werk-
' men et some of the Collieries have struck, but this
measure is by no means general, so that no irapedimeat
will be .Celt by the mills worked by steam, which was
intended by the authors of this meeting. On the same
day the nnturlous 13aguley attempted to cenvert a
meeting of weavers at Stoekport inta a meeting of

Weavers eentined themselves to their object, and re.
solved to strike next week, unless an advance of 35 per
cent, is made in their wiages.
