MADRID, DECEMBER ii.

His Majesty has issued a Decree, ordering the
Nuns who have not as yet returned to their convents,
to do so instantly ; and, in case of non compliance,
the Magistrates where they reside are to cause them
to be arrested, and conveyed to their several convents
by main force. By another Decree, he order% the
Council of Castile not to acknowledge, and to consi-
der u null and void all Balls of the Pope, which are
net conveyed through his Majesty's Minister at the
Court of Rome.

PAPERS.
!The Aram. Item*. of the 9d of December co
tahis a letter hods New Brunswick on the .aS of
pertiesinAmericat.ofwhieb.the following are exacts:
44 I will endeavour) in this letter, to convey to you
an epitome of American politics. as they atiki many
people in this community, which improbably prove
serviceable, and perhaps new to yon.
4$ It is said, that the war is merely an electioneer
ing job, contrived by those now in power, to secure
the next election for President, on whom every officer
in the United Government depends. In England, if
there is a change in ministry, there are not more than
ten or a dozen of the principal (ACC's who lose their
places—but in the United States, as there are but
two leading parties, and the President is sure to be-
long to one of them, every person in the employment
of that Government inevitably becomes the object of
his attention : and the whole list of Federal Officers,
from Georgia to New Hampshire, is made to conform
with the political creed of the chief.
64 Ynu, no doubt, have heard that the people of the
United States are, generally, divided into Federalists
and Anti-Federalists ; the former are, or pretend to
be, strict adherents to the established constitution as
settled soon after the revolutionary war; of this class
were Washington and Adams, who had their turn in
the chair of State during two elections each, or eight
years. The latter, called by their opponents Demo-
crats, affect to believe that the constitution is too
closely oßied to the monarchical system, and wish to.
render it more poplar than it actually is. The,
fact, however, is, that the two terms are merely
!MU de guerre for two political sects, who have as va.
rious subordinate opinions as there ate individuals
compo:illg them.
44 Mr. Jefferson had his two elections of four years
each, and Mr. Madison is in the second year of his
second election—these two are Anti=Fedendists, and,
as it seems to have become a sort Of tacit establish.
meat that no one personshall enjoy more than two elec-
tions—and as, at the expiration of Mr. Madison's se-
cond four years, the two parties will each have had
their equal term; it now becomes a fair contest of
which party the next President shall be. Thtis you see
the private interests of the Ins and the Outs,instigate,
the strife every four years very much—every eight
years still more, but every thirty-two years the coq-,
test becomes redoubled both in expectation and vim
lence.
" The inhabitants of the States from Delaware
northward are chiefly Federalists and trader:l those
to the southward, principally Anti-Federalists and
firmer:. It is therefore not a probable thing that Mr.
Madison, who is an undoubted Ali, should make war
with Great Britain for the sake of obtaining frees/20r
and :adore' right', or that he should exert Its utmost
efforts to obtain the Canadas, to become (as they must
in case of conquest) an appendage to the Eastern
States, who, in his estimation, are already too power-
ful. To reconcile this seeming contradiction. it was
conjectured, by the opposite party, that should a
conquest be made of the Canadas, they would have
been given up to the French, in order to counterba-
lance the apprehended consequent preponderance of
the Federal States.
" So far the acts of the enemy have, hitherto, cor-
responded with this system; for the New England
States especially, apprehensive of such neighbours,'
have hung. back fro nk the war."
The writer, in a Sobbequent part, offers some re-
marks on the politics of America as connected with
commerce :

'• Mint nations are rivals in 'some degree to each
other ; the extent of the degree will constitute our in-
terest. The Americans have too much asperity to-
wards Great Britain to become very soon her politi-
cal friends. The very Federalists are more friendly
to the French than to the English nation, and, them-
fore, we have no obligations to shackle us besides
those we are willing to wear. If there is any friend.
ship; then, it must be of a commercial nature.
,4 We will, therefore, examine to what this amounts.
If we draw a line from the mouth of Chesapeake Bay
to the head of it, itud thence to Fen Pitt, at the head
of the Ohio, we shall have two divisions which will
very fairly comprehend, the opt side the Northern,
the ether what are termed the Southern States. In
the latter, they produce tobacco, tar, pitch, and tur.
pentice ; rice, cotton, and some indigo ; many of them
articles superior in quality to whatlave hitherto been
procured from other nations, and especially necessary
to the manufactures of Great Britain. The inhabi-
tants.of the country, besides, are by
,no means in-
clined to commerce, but very luxurious; and, there.
fore, in taking a large. supply of foreign manufactures
and, produce in.return for such essential articles, will
field that carrying trade (which if they pleased,
would naturally belong to themselves) to any nation
who can bring them what they want at the cheapest
rate. Now, let us examine the Northern side of this
line, and we shall see a people of farmers, fishermen
woodsmen, traders, and carriers, all rivals to Gre.t
Britain and her colonies, hated by the inhabitants of
the Southern States, and incapable of supplying them
with a single article, except what they procure Isom
other nations. The only object, theretore, which Bre.
tish aegociators should have in view, will be to,
make such arrangement, with respect to her ow;
trade and mannfatures, and with _Foreign nations,
as will chime in unison for excluding the Nor-
thern States from Mg still Me carriers for the Natioas
of s and no doubt, in' her present elevated
poshion, if she terminates the war with the Statel
honourably, the will be enabled to accomplish it."
The writer aftenvards characterises the Americans
as follows They are," says he, 4. ever craving,
never gratified ; sturdy impudent beggars; too proud
to acknowledge an obligation, but sneaking, sly, and
circumventing in obtaining the substance oft; guided
solely by interest, they will become condescending to
any meanness to appease .power which they cannot•
resist, though vain, shameless, hectoring, fierce, and
insolent, where chance gives them 'a suitable oppor.
'unity to indulge themselves."
