KEW YORK, MAY 22.

It is hinted that the Cabinet in Washington have
hopes that the Treaty will not be ratified by King
Ferdinand ; that since its signature and ratification, a
discovery has been,:macie that during the negotiation
the Spanish King,had sold tight millions of acres of
the public lands of the ‘Floridas, which sale is gua-
ranteed by the Treaty, being made prior toJanuary 1,
1818. It has been further hinted, that-cut the disco-
verY of they above fact, Don Onis, Olt crafty nego-
tiator, had been called upon by Mr. Adams for an
explanation of such conduct, and that the Don had
evaded all explanation by remarking, that a bargain
was a bargain, that the Treaty was intended to Cover
all sales previous to the above date, known dr un-
known, and that the purchasers of the land did not
make him a confident of their secrets, and thirdly, it
is hinted that the Messenger that has been sent to
Spain since the Treaty bearer .embarked, has dis-
patches which relate to this important discovery.

The following is another Official Account of the
Capture of Porto Hello, transmitted by the new Go-
vernor, M. LOPEZ, to the Envoy for New Grenada,
in Londcn:

" Pewro rYtt.o, Arita 11, 1819.

have the satisfaction of enclosing a copy
of the Act which confirms the re-establishment of
the Independent Government of New Grenada. This
august act was celebrated in the island of St. An-
drew's on the 4th of April, with every solemnity ;
and, from that auspicious moment, has once more
waved the flag of the Republic.
4, On the night of the sth we made sail for Porto-
bello, and on the Bth we presented Ourselves in the
entrance of the harbour. Thence we directed our
course to the Bay of Buenventura, where we weighed
anchor; and on the 9th, at one in the afternoon, we
disembarked a.pArt of the troops, in Ordet to take the
town by land. The brig of war Hero proceeded im-
mediately to cannonade the fortresses of St. Geroi.l-
- Friana, and San Fernando, in front, to distract
the attention of the enemy. These operations pro-
duced the best effects. Our intrepid soldiers, van-
quishing every obstacle that opposed them, climbed
a steep height, and encamped for the night within
gun-shot of the fortification of Friana, determined to
occupy it on the following morning.
" Our movements so intimidated the enemy, that,
the same night, they, in a cowardly manner, abar;
cloned the place, and retired upon Panama ; so that
when the division which was on shore assaulted the
fortification of Friana, at break of day, on the 10th,
it found not a man in it. In a moment was struck the
Royal flag, which had waved on the Castles, and
was hoisted that of the Republic, and we entered
with the General and the troops, to take possession
of the town. In it we have found cannon of Every
calibre, munitions, powder, and other instruments
of war.

The falsehoods spread by the enemy against the
army obliged the inhabitants of the town to remove
to the fields in the neighbourhood ; but they are
already returning to their homes, in consequence of
the Proclamation of trAnquillity, of which I enclose
you a copy ; and I have the pleasure of seeing that
our troops have belied the calumnious imputations
of the tyrants, in such a manner, that the inhabitants
are fully satisfied with their conduct.

•" I hope that the whole campaign will have a
result as felicitous as this our first enterprise; and I
shall continue simikrly to communicate to you the
further progress of the army.

" In the name of New Grenada, I render you the
sincerest thanks for the signal part which you have
had in the assemblage of the liberating army ; sad I
anxiously wait the account when the Congress shall
be formed, in order to have the satisfaction of recom-
mending to it your eminent services in the terms
which they deserve. Your name will assuredly oc-
cupy one 'of the at plates among the 'Moen seas of

afar native lead, and its snemcny will be immeetzl
among the Grenadian,. GOD preserve you many years-
