sentcd to the emperor last Sunday, was
received in most gracious manner, and
his ThaJesty copdescended TO converse with
him Tor a quarter of an hour. The Object

already had several conferences with his
excelleacy III Talleyrand, aud intends,
according to report, immediately alter the
arrival OF the new American Ambassador,
General Armstrong, to set out for Madrid.
should the Spanish court not subscribe TO
the dem"ad OF America, much as they have
been approved OF in France. In the pre-
sent circumstances, q war upon The CONT

the court Of ST. James would desite, as it
would make the United States eith.r the
direct or indirect allies Of Great Bitain.
Both France and Spain are in,cresled 10
prevent such an event.
Mr. Menroe the American minister to
England, who, at the last diplomatic au-

$ Chancellor of the Exchequer," the
peculiar favorite of the PRECEDENT and
heads Of department, and olfenfble
leader of the republicans in congreiS,
You fhall have ample fatisfaefion.
1t is now almoif the unanimous
voice of the northern republicans that
Virginia and Mr.. Randolph are at
tempting to rule the houfe of repre-
ientativcs and the nation by violence.
On the fubjed of the extingullhment
of the. fate balances, every member
from New-England, judge DIN ex-
cepted, unite insoppo6tion to the mea7
iure. On mott queltions the northern
representatives, republicans and feder-
alilfs, vote together. Judge DIN with
us frequently, in oppoition to the Ia
larry. bill for inhance., The COME
quence of this fchifIn among republl-
cans, is, that meaiureS are frequently
carried againff the prime miniiter by
iInall majorities, on all which oeca-
iions, and many others, he abuies the
fpeaker and the houfe in mott IN
famous manner. In many OF his
