It seems the parties who would be materially afa

which, according to the Spenish Treaty, are to be
" paid on the 20th inst. to such parsons as his Cathy.'
tic Majesty may appoint to receive the same." have
taken the alarm, and ate now preparing a Petition
to the douse of Commons against • compliance with
this clause. The above sons, in the Treaty, is said In
be " a full compensation for all losses sustained by
the subjects of his Catholic Majesty engaged in this
traffic, the Slave Trade, on account of vessels captured,
previously to the exchange of the peotificitions of the
presets* Treaty," consequently the major part of
the said amount belongs to individuals, residing in
Cuba, Puerto Rico, Spain. and elsewhere, having
their respective agents in England, who have pro.
muted their claims in the Admiralty Courts, and
had restoration ordered. In several important cases
judgment had bee. already given, and other claims
are Nandi% over till the issue of the first trials was
ascertained. Thseiudividuals in question have given
no powers to the Spanish Monarch to receive this
_mosey for their account; and they are well *warn
that, if it once enters his coffers) they will never see
a sixpence of it. It is an old fashion of the Spanish
Government to assume the claims of individuals, and
la several eases it has been done to the rein of the
latter.. Not lon ago, a Royal Decree of King Per.
