The CHAIRMAN stated that he hacl received is
letter from his Grace the Duke of Somerset, stett-
ing, that be was prevented by a recent domestic
loss from presiding upon this occasion, and con-
taining a further proof of tfie n►nnificent patron-
age which he had uuifuin►ly extended to this In-
stitution. He concluded by proposing the health
of their Noble President.

IThis toast was followed by a glee, composed by
Shield, for the Anniversary of tire Literary Fund.
The CHAIRMAN then said, that he would preface
will) a few observations the toast which he was
about to propose. He again expressed his regret
at the absence of the Noble Duke who %VAS to have
prrsided on this occasion, and said, that it was
not his intention to state in detail the objects of
the charity, but to communicate generally to those
persons who were present at this celebration for
the first time, the advantages which would be de.
liVed from on enlargement orthe Fund. The So.
cloy was instituted abou 30 years ago, and was
introduced to the notire,of the Prince of Wales
by the Earl of Chichester. His Roy Highness
immediately took it under his protection, and the
Institution, which had grown under the fostering.
hand of the Prince, was Mill honoured by the pa.
tronage of his,Majesty. and had become an incor-
porated Society. Literature had never pet baps ad-
vanced with a more, rapid pace than in the present
century ; greater number of candidates for fame
had seldom graced the annals .ot the British em-
pire; it was impossible that the same success
could be obtained by all, and It was' the object
of this Institution to relievetnen,of genius, wborn
miafortune,• or that inattention to worldly coo-
ferns, which they too frequently manifested, ren-
dered objects of its beirevolince. It was not
merely confined to the relief of literary men of
our- own country; be would mention an instance
in which. tire Society had extended relief. to.a.na-
tive.ol Iceland; Mr. Thorlaelson; who had it ans.
listed Milton's Paradite Lost into the language of
his coun,lry,.'attd.st=:u bad, front o nil voidable cir-
cumstances, fallen into utimeriied di,tress. Atter
some either observations upon the ev•etlence of
the Institution, the Chairman concloti,d by plo-
poi.ing c!. Prosperity to the Literary Food.''
Mr. W; FLTZ.GBRALD then 'recited, for the
24th time,.. a Poem, composl for the ~eea.
In which the praises of Nelsoe, the Doke
of Wellington, his late anti present rth;:jesty, wale
reeordfd with his acc:rstOincil prietical tire. ..
'The Enl of POMFRET then proposed `‘ The
health Yof. the Noble' L'kiiiin:to," which was
drank, 7,l,,ithrunch applause.
The -Cit “a 14 AN tont-fled thanks in an appro..
priate speech, and a Glee, composed for the An-
niversary by Air Fitzgerald, was sung with ex.
qoisite taste ann. feeirog by Mr. Braham, &c.
The Secretary then read the 'I reasmer's Re-
port, in which, among other intere,ting state-
ments, it was announced that T. Newton, Esq.
the lineal descendant of S:r Isaac I\ewton, had,
in his 86+h year, exclaimed—" is the In•
stitntion for the representative of Newton," arid
bequeathed the whole of his property to the Li-
teral y Fund.
The CHAIRMAN next gave, " The Vice-Presi-
dents of the Society;" and read a letter from
Sir Beojamin Hobhouse, in which he regretted
that the state of his health did not permit hint
to attend at a public dinner, and assured Ilia
Society that there was et) object which he was
more desirous of promoting than the prosperity
of the Literary Fund.

" The Earl of-Goilford, the Unive►sity of the lonian
Isles," and several Ober toasts were then given.
Mr. 11bdin sting several songs tti his best style,
and the evening was spent with the utmost har•
moil and conviviality.

Cathedral at York, the itevercnd Gorge Thomas

Extract of a 'Letter fro, Mr. CAMPBELT. to the Secretary of
State, datctl St. Petersimig., 9.0111 October, (Ist November,)
18 9, containing ttetails of a couvursation With Count NES-

SEL:I,)DE

" Your Disnitch, No. 3, of June 3d, I bad the

botioar to receive a few dap ago.

" Alter some general conversation, Count
Ncss-lrode enquired, (as I presumed he woul,l do,
and wait,tl for him to introduce the subject,) if .1
Karl any cgrtelin accTlut of what Spain tvas
or hail done, respeetnig the treaty lately conclud-
ed by her Ministcr at WaihinL!ton with our go-
wrninent. 1 had shortly bilore received from
GillAtin a letter contit ming the account which
bad alre•dy reached me through the newspapers,
that tne King had refused to tatify the treaty
until he should obtain some previous explanat ions,
telai jug, as itiitrd by Mr Gallatin, to two points :
Ise, the declaration Mr. Forsyth was instructed,

on exchanging the ra,itications, to put n , that
the grant to the Duke d'Alagon for kink in the
ceded territory, which, though -intended to be,
was not by the t(!rtn3 of the treaty made null,
should be considered as null and, 2d, an engage-

meat, recptired
.hySpaiu on the prt of our Go-
vernment, not to recognize the independence of
any of the Si)duish•Colouics ; and that, to de-
mand these explanations, a Minister litt.i6roi-

v.;us to he sent to Washingion, thongh Mr.
F,,:iyth had offered, as instructed, to give Soil

eXpiallatiOrlS On any point connected with the-
trt-aty. I therefore iplormcd the Count, I had

received authentic ii formation, though not from
my government, that the King, had refused his
assent to the treaty until he should obtain ex-
planations on eel lain potnts, for which purpose
he prop -sell sending a Minister Extraordinary to
W,,ibtogion. I took this ot'ension to retnat
ther, that, by official information from my go-
vernimen! , I tell myself' author tz,:d to sta,e, that Mr.
()..is, the Spanidi Minister, was fully empowered
to coot:hole the treaty, and might have yielded
more ihan lie did without exceeding his with°.

rj•y; ,4„,1 that the poittts on which it WAS now pro-
posed to ask explanations had been folly disclos-
ed betore the treaty was signed, and their extent
and meetniug explicitly understood by both parties;
of which the Spanish Court was folly informed ;

anti our ;flittkier there Was instructed to give

amble explmititions, which lie (iticred to do, on

tiny points telAtiug to the Treaty that might
be sopposed to require them.-1 added, that the
t.n.raiy was uudoobtedly, under all circum-
stances, hi,hly favourable to Spain, and that I
was sa isfied a strong desire oo the part of my
Goveroment to preserve peace, alone induc-
ed tloln to agree to its provisions; that 1 pre-
stinuoi a had been informed respecting the let ms
ot the Treaty, by Mt. Poletica, with whom, 1 un-
dersiood, you had -freely ColllilliitikPed on the
subject. He said Mr. Poletica had advised him
thst, front the explanations received from you
respectiog the- Trea,y was by him considered
fa, ,t-trable to Spain. I then referred to the grant
to the Dike d'Alagon, briefly stated the nature of
it, as made known to me, and observed, that
shiodd the vieAs of the King, as now avowed, in
relation to it, supposing the principal point on
which explanation was required, be acquiesced
in, the diet object- of entering into the Treaty
would he thereby frustrated ;' that, by one of its
proviions, the United States Government agreed
to pay, on account of Spain, to :heir own citi-
zens, fur spoliations committed by her sub-
jects, or in her ports, contrary to Treaty, five
millions of dollars Ott of the proceeds of the
sales of lauds in the ceded tertitory ; but should
this grant, said to include a very large por-
tion ot those lands, be confirmed, the sum
assigned for that purpose would fail, and, of
cours.:, this provision of the Treaty could out be
complied tvili„
He appeared to feel the full force of the re-
mark, giviog his assent to the conclusion drawn,
and p,oceeded to observe, it was to be regretted
that Spain did not understand her own interest
better than she seemed to do ; that it was difli-
colt'to conceive, in her present situation, what
could induce her to take the course she had done,
refuse to ratify a Treaty favourable to let self,
and concluded by her Minister vested with tuii
powers for the porpnse. He then remarked
on the great impoitanee of presersiog peace,
as far as prac,icabie, among the civilized na-
tions of the tvurld, enquired what Spain could
now do in regard to the business by sending
a Minister to IV,,sliitigtoo, and what course our
Government would likely to adopt on the oc-
casion.

‘• 1 replied that as to Spain; I CANT i form N) opi-
r,ion of zlie soothes_ by which she was governed.
I did not perceive what she could do, unless she
needed (row Ler objections to the 'runty ; end,
as !,3 my open Govemmenr, tliough I was satisfied
of its strong desire to preserve peace, I could not
pretend to stiy vllia coarse it might conceive it-

oriopren to change essentially the relations be-

from my Goveromeof aitrr it bad ()evil attv.isetl of

the precise time, with any degree of certainty,
but that it would undoubtedly be as soon as
dispatches could reach this front Washington,
he expressed, with some earnestness, his tvish
that 1 $llOlllll make known to him, at as CA Ely

Extract of a Letter from Mr. FORSYTH to the Secretary of
State, dated Madrid, Jan. 3, 1820.

" A few days after the date of my last, Nonl-
ife' 10, 1 had a visit from the Count llolgaty, the
Russian Cleirge d'Affdirs ; he cane to see ins in
consequence of a conversatiou he had just bad
with the Duke of San Feroaedo,respeeting my
official letter of, thel3th of October, and the sub-
sequent correspondence in relation to it. He
siatAl to me, that the-Doke regretted the necessi-
ty of sending back the letter, but that it was so
harsh in its terms, he could not place it before
the king; to this was added a great many assu-
rances of personal kindness and g-od will, not ne-
cessary to be repeated. I replied, that it was
very mortifying to me, to he obliged to send the
letter in the first instance, and not 1,,s so, to in-
sist on its being received ; that the Doke had put
it out of my power to act otherwise than
.1 had
done; but that thefe was no difficohy in rtoid-
ing the unpleasant consequences likely to ensue.
The Duke had nothing to do hot to give me see!'
assurances in regard. to the pools, as wool,' ren-
der it superfluous for use to sey any thing about
them. His answer was at once curious and dis-
satisfactoty. He said that the Duke could not
give me any assufani•es, such was the predomi-
nating influeoceof the grantees with the king. He
was sincerely disposed to settle all the dtfferences
with the United States, end hoped, in a ,Fort
time, to haee power to effect it e had authorized
Count Bufgary to say to the Russian Govern-
ment that Geotral Vives was going immediately
to the United States, and would have conipetent
power ; and that every thing would be :folic,-
lily arranged. 1 made the Russian Charge
fa-ns sensible that one part of this statement
contradicted the other. General Vives resold not
. receive powers competent to the purpose of ami-
cable .settlement, it the Secretary of State's dis-
patch was unahle, from the it floetice of the gran-
tees, to say any thing about rhe large donations.
This was a. subject upon which the Americau
Government would listen to no terms ; and friend-
ly atrangetmnts was out of the question, General
Viees's vi-it to the United States useless, un-
le,,s the Spanish Government was prepared to
abaudon their pretensions in favour of the gran-
I:es. On the subject of the tnissiou of General
Viers, 1 desired the Count to remind the Duke,
that 1 knew nothing of it. The general and
loose declarations msde months before, that the
king would authorise some persons to ask expla-
oations at Washineton, was a!! that the Spanish
Go vvrnmept had chosen to .communicate to me.
'1 he Count asetned me of the personal anxiety of
the Minister to arrange every thing satisfactorily
between the two commies.; that his hopes were
strong of being able to effect it ; that this business
of the retorned note was epharraasing, and it I
went away in conseqoence of its not being re-
ceived, that, what he believed to be the wish of the
United States and of his Government, sod almost
all other powers, might be frustrated. Matteis
were in a' bad state at present, and this would
make theta worse. To this I answered, in ge.
•neral terms, that matters must .become worse, be-
fore they became better ; that the government
of the United States had every disposition to be
friendly with Spain, and had evinced it in a va-
riety of modes : for myself, 1 bad personally every
wi.,:fr to be the insirnment of promoting good-
will between the two nations. He said this Go-
vernment had a different Impression. I was very'
sorry for it ; unfortimately the conduct of the
Spiotish Government had compelled me to speak
with a plainness and openness which was disagree-
able, as they were not accustomed to it. In the
course of a long conversation, it occurred to me,
that this dispoie about the note might be made
useful, as I found the Spanish Government anxi-
ous to avoid receiving it, and, contrary to my ex-
pectation, desirous that I should remain here.-
1 believed it practicable to accelerate their move-
mews in our affeirs without yielding the point in
dispute. With this belie, I stared to Count mtil-
gary, that, if the Duke of San Fernando would
officially say to me, at once, that General Vives
was going immediately to the United States, with
ample authority to arrange the business of the
Convention, and that it was the particular wish
of his Majesty's Government that the letter of
the 13th should be withheld, and that all matters
relating to the Convention should be discussed in
Washington, -notwitfstandiug 1 had positive in-
struction to remonstrate on the subject of the
grants, and the ,conduct of Spain in relation to
them, I would take the responsibility of retaiohie
the ObnoXlo Us paper in my hands, until compelled
by event% to deliver is, or until I should receive
further advices from the President.

" The Doke must underst.md, !hat this was done
with a perfect understanding that I insisted upon
the right of returning the paper, and should exer-
cise that right, whenever I deemed it necessary.
The Count left me with the expectation of making
this arrangement. A few days afterwards we
had another interview he told tne that the Duke
would write, to tell me of the appointment of
General Vivcs. and of the intention of sending
him immediately to V`,',hingtou that he conk
have full powers, ; but that the Dl..ke thought
he could not advett particularly to the remon-
strance, or the correspondence in relation to it,
without commenting ;limn it, and this he desired
to avoid. I answered, Ow I could not tell bow I
Nhould act until 1 saw the. Duke's note. If I
found in ;t a snfricient jtivitication for detaining
the remonstrance, I woult: do EO, and would look
at it, with a view to find that justification. The
Duke knew from me, that was instructed to re-
monatre.te earnestly on the subject of the grants,
and might judge, from my manner of perftmning
duty, of the sentiments of the American Govern,-
uncut. A week elapsed after this last converse-.
tion, wi,hout my. heating from the Secretary of
State. 1 called on the Russian Charge d'Affaires
to say, that 1 was surprised at this delay, and.

tbat I should certainly return the remonstrance,
if I did not hear from the Duke in a lew days.--
Ele the Secretary of State, in consequence of
this visit, who assured him that his personal in-
dkposition bad prevented hiin from sending me
the intended note. On the 1811 i December, 1 re-
ceived the Dolie's note, a copy of which. is in-
closed, marked No. 1 ; you will see that it is not
what I had reason to expect. It does not re-
quest a suspension of any cot respondence, or say
that it is the wish of the Spanish Government
that every thing should be left to the negociation
of General Fires. Ile merely states, that, in his
view, to continue discussion here would be super-
Root's, and likely to embarrass the direct negoeia-
thin —Perhaps, considering their peculiar mode
of doing business, I had no right to calculate upon
any thing more.
" Nevertheless, I am not at ail satisfied with it,
and had 1 consulted my ow., inclinations only, I
should immediately have sent back the note of
the 18ili October with the translation. What has
riccasioned me to delay and deliberate, and still
keeps me uncertain how to act, is the apprehen-
sion that my judgment of what is proper might
be involuniatily influenced by my own wishes. I
need not car-weal from you, that my situation here
is unpleasant, and that I find no sufficient conso-
lation for toy personal mortification in the con-
sciousness of being nsefol to the United States,
feeling, as I do, that I dm almost, if not altoge-
ther, useless. The very awkward state of my
:,rivate affairs in Georgia, it consequence of my
onlooked for detention here, increaes my anZiety
to leave Spain, What I tear, and I hope it is not
an unworthy apprei.ension, is, that these circum-
stances way unconsciously induce she to believe,
that the more energetic course is the best. What
I .have at last resolved upon, is, to delay my an-
swer until I see the President's message. It will
then be sent, before General Vives leaves Europe.
He is still in Madrid, guts inn coach and colleras
to Bayonne, a journey of 12 or 15 days ; thence
to Paris, from Paris to England, and from Eng-
l-nd to the United State, His rapid joorney to
Washinwon will proeably be fioished in May.----
My answer will be regulated by the advices I hope
soon to receive trona Washington. I snail cer-
tainly not go fur her, in any event, ‘han to say,
that I shall retain the letter of the IStn October
for a short time, under the hopes that his Majesty
will render it unnecessary to. InJlie any remon-
