take advantage of the past Age of a Courier from
M. Souza, at Paris, whotIVIVIr. Fiere has detained
for a few hours.

Two day:, alter the date of my last T called upon
the Printe of Pent:, in order to take leave; of him
before' he set offs for'St. Ildefonso. I tf.,und him in
a temper and tone'sn different from 'that of our last
conference, that 1 venttired to ask him what 'Mild
have passed to haVe made such an alteration in 'so
short an interval ? linid, char the day Velure 'he
had, bad a long Coovitsation %Cult the French' Am.
bassador, anti that' 'he had i,polecn to 'him in a tone
'which had had its weight.. It is certain that this
Conference liati been a very•liing and a very ',warm
Ont. ; and the Ambassador came a;.vay with e‘ident
msrks of discontent and 11l humour. It is certain
that, since this Conversation, and the arrival Of some
Couriers who Were supposed to'bring very import,
an( dispatches, he has very much changed his toile;
and has even said to, several' peri,ons, who he in.
tended tihould repeat his conversation 'to me, that he
was. sorry that the Ettziish Minister appeared to
givehimself so match tinCJsine ; that in tad there
Was no ground for it ; and' that -there vas not any
diSposition on the part of France to snake Spain a

Party ibe,wars • •
The present report, which I have. not the means
to verify before the departure of this Courieri but
which comet to. me from gold, aOthority, 1s `that
the French' Government have secceshively reduced
their demand to an "hundred million of rial 6, or one
million sterling, and since ,to seventy‘twO
and that the present offer of 'the'Sparlish Govern.
tent is sixty million, or 'six liundredihnosand.
pounds, to be paid as an annual subsidy in lieu Of
their contingent.

On the 3d instant M. Herman arrived from Paris,
'and the tame evening had a 'conference 'with `the
Prince of Peace a-t, the Sitio. 'The, 'next-day there
was a second conference, at which Nl;Cev.aihs- was
pre sent; and on the following day the Prince of
'Peace sent [O. aCtr.filitit ale that every thing wag
Settled j that. they had Made 'every sacrifice t,, pre.
serve their neuttality ; and
,they had
consented to pay ;ix millions of 'lvrea a Month.
, The terms, it teems, which !I. Herman had been
intimeitti to demand, inelnded 'the payment of ar.
tears pretended to be due' since the beginning of the
War, at this %ante. 'rate, together With a payment
in advance, the amount of whiels I could 'not learn.

He bail two successive conferences with the Prince
di- Peace , which terminated in pbtainjtig some fur.
tiler addition to"the terns which had been extorted
by M. Herman, the exact nature of which I have
not yet been able to learn. When I pressed the
Prince of Peace upon the aubjed of the Treaty, he
said, that there was nothing, bet an additional Ar.
tiele about the trantit of !'rent(;' Woollens. to Pot.;

that Country ; he said that was settled 'Portngal
was to pay a million of livres is: month ; that the
demand upon Spain WAS e x tra vagint in cnnipariton ;
and that had been made so, he lieficvcti, with a View
of..a future ground of quarrel in'Cale they should
find themselves- unable to fulfil the engagm eents
which they had been forced to enter into. He said,
however, that orders had been sent-to M. AZ:tra. to
tign a Treaty, and that they should' think no price
too great fur the maintenance of their Neutrality
and lie addeatomething, width implied a prestunp.
skin that such a Muttality might c,,minue throusli
