SAN. 15.

Non-Intercourse Bill be passed and we never read of any
country in which there were more materials of a revolu-
tion, than there are at present in America.

The latest accounts from spin, we arc sorry to say, I
contain strong allusions to the treachery of some SpauiMh
Generals. It is stated that CASTANOS and I.T.smas have been
both arrested, and that MORLA has gone over to the enemy.
We must be cautious how we give implicit credit to these
accounts of treachery ; for we know it to be one of the in-
fernal arts which th 6 enemy has most successfully emplosed
agaist his adversaries ; but an official report from Geeeral
O'N ELL to PALAFOICI immediately after the battle of 'Cu-dela, plainly imputes to the incapacity or treachery of CAs-
TANOS,A the toss of that engagement. In either case he de-
served to be arrested ; and the Spanish General, who in
the present crisis of his country, can be guilty of visAing
the head-quarters of the enemy, for te purpose of
did signing
any thing in the form of a Capitulatiohn, as MORLA , de-
serves to he punished as a traitor. Nothing but extraordi-
nary measures, and the resolution to conquer or die, can
save that -country,
We learn that a Convoy has bee positively appointed
for Sweden, which is to go to Mars ntrand, if Gottenburgh
cannot be approached on theiraccun of the ice. We undeof
r-
stand, however, that though port of the shutting
the Swedish ports against British ships is considered un-
founded, or, more correctly speaking, premature, it is
understood, by persons in this country who have the best
information with respect to Swedish affairs, that the Ar-
Inistico between Russia, Sweden, and Denmark, will end
in a Treaty of Peace, of which such an exclusion will be
be one of the conditions.
Accounts have been received from the Brazils, of the
discontinuance of the armament intended to enforce the
pretensions of the Infant Don Pedro Luis to the sovereignty
of Buenos Ayres. A negotiation with the peoi,le of that
colony, for an amicable arrangement, under the protec-
tion of England, was in very forward progress. It was
managed by Sir S. Smith, who, with a view to its com-
pletion, was about to proceed in person to Rio de la Plata.
The people of Buenos Ayres expressed the greatest re- '
spect and gratitude for the conduct oar Englan, in thet
e
recent circumstances of Spain. The arrangement
sought at first was one of perfect independence, both of
France and of the Mother Country ; and though the suc-
cess of the Patriots may have subsuently varied that
it plan,
as far as it related to Old Spaieqn, it is likely that
now be resumed to its full extent.
It is said the people of Buenos Ayres have proposed to
to erect their country into au independent monarchy, and
to place the Crown on the head of the consolV .rt oand s f
ter of
the Prince
Regent, who is the daughter of Charles is
Ferdinand VII.
