M The forbearance of our Government toward.
Spain feemb incomprehenfible to every man here at
all acquainted with the condo& ant politics of that
country. France is daily draining her of immente
fubfidies to pay the armies chained for our irreligion,
and we peaceably allow there matures, which are to
be employed for our dehruAion, to pars quietly
through our fleets into Cadiz. Since the commence•
ment of the war with France, ouv cruisers have et.
arnined different Spanith !hips from South America,
with upwards of twent y-three millions of dollars on
board, the whole of which ought to have been fent
to England, if we had sided with common firmners
or prudence; inftead of which, the greater part hat
been permitted to pars to France. A war with
Spain %would at once cut off theft channels, as what

urged agaioll a Spanifit war h. that great part of the
trade to Sparta Booth America is carried on with
Britil capital, which would be 101 l or confifcated
in the event of a war with that country. This, ins-
deed, is partly cwt. but the loft. a few individuals
would fuftain; would be nothing when put in' cam-
petition with the national benefits we mould other-
wile derive from it. Our merchants for this year
pall have been withdrawing their capitals from that
country, and colleeking all their debts, from a full
conviEtion that a war mull in the end take place,"and.
independent of the immenfe advantage in cutting off
this grand tburec from wblcb Floors is chiefhtcna•
bled to pay her armies, a much larger proportion of
the Sparrth treafures would find their way to Eng-
land by war, than there bow does by peace. though

erPecially as a late of the empirt, he conceived this
to bean objett which ought not to be merely notified
to, but made a fubjeß of dirculSon by the Diet, that
all the Members of it might have act opportunity to
givt their opinions as founded on the Conilitution.
Another important piece of intelligence has alto
been received by this conveyance'. The Pope burs-
folved to permit the return of the Jefuits to the do-
Minioni of the Church and. to thole Rates which may
