who arrived this morning at the Secretary of State's
Office, brought intelligence from Spain of a nature so
unfavourable that Ministers do not think it proper to
make it public. By this studious concealment the

Ratification of a Treaty of Peace and Amity be-
tween England and Persia. .

Office from Mr. STUART, at Lisbon, and from Mr.
