60 The ftuation Of our marker has experienced
very little Change Gnce ny lait, bur the political
stuation of this country is very much altered IN
deed. When i wrote YOU lsH the war with Eng
land was expected every infant now we are
given TO under9and, We are on the bett of terms
with Great Britain, and perhaps on the eve of
hofility with France. This luddcn change in the
politics of the cabinet Of Madrid aries from tie
conduct of Bonsparte towards Spain in the tals OF
Louifana to the United States. 1t appsars the
+ ccaion Of that province by Spain TO France was
under certain conditions, many of which have not
been fulfilled, and others giaringly violated. A
perion of good information has aGured me that
rsmoh&ranccs have been made to the Firft Coniul
ppon this head, with yigor and energy that
was not to be expected from government gene
rally fuppoled fubfervitnt to the will of France.
And hmilar approximations are to De made by our
Minister 10 the United States to your government,
astis infited, that by the fnlf'ment on the
parrot France of the conditions on which fine was
TO have LouiGana, ihe has neither the right TO
pG.6 il hcrfslf, nor to fell il to the United
States. This revolution in the European affairs
may produce the mott important confcqaences.
