some latent eaSse 81 hostility remains, a
war between the two nations willno, now
take place. Whether the vessels and
property captured, will be restored, is
= question we cannot solve. Our OPT
MON is, that they will not be, during the
present war. In one Of the last English
papers, it is mentioned, tina. the money
would be retained in England7 pending
another negotiation to be opened, on
the old subject ofthe " Manila ransom"
II may be recollected that in 1862, de-
taehment of troops from Madras, COM
posed Of soldiers, sailors. seapoys, ca
fires, 1ascars, topases,a and French and
German deserters, and commanded by
General (Sir William) Draper, in an
expedition against the Spanish PHILIPPINE
isles, took the town of Manila, BY storm,
and the officers found it extremely diff
cult to prevent the motley troops from
making the city feel all The righteousness
to which city taken by storm is sub.
iected from the common men. Promi-
ses of remuneration for their bravery
and sufferings were made this collection;
and capitulation was entered into b..
tween the British and Spanish officers
for such compensation as might satisfy
them, and exempt the town from pillage.
BY one Of the articles, foar millions of
dollars were to be paid by Spain, as
ransom for the city Of Manila, and the
effects Of the inhabitants who, in con-
sequence, were protected 10 their reti-
sion, liberties and property. Peace
succeeding soon after, the Spanish go
vernment refused to ratify the caPitula-
ton and the payment of the ransom
has been evaded to this day. It>would
be in the style Of Mr.. PITTS "gestion
Of affairs" werethe money to be detain-
ed as guarantee of the ful6lment Of the
! equalization On tn. part of Spain.

states that he was ON board the schoon.

The Ardent succeeded in beating off the
privateer, who mistaking her guns (32lb

alongside and fred into her, but receiv.
ed Immediately a discharge Of grape and

of her men.-After maintaining short
action she sheared of, and went in chase

ten prizes Of which he recollects the
names only of the briggs Hunter, Cap
tain Williams, and Philip, Captain Buff:

Their has foundered or will founder. She

to Point-Petrw, Gaudaloupe, mounting

We can state on the authority ofletter.
from Madrid, as late as the 9th Novem.
Der, that the British minister had left
the Spanish court and that no doubt
existed Of a war between the two coun-
tries.
The Spanish frigate La Vengeance is
arrived at Cadiz, and the frigate lam
Phitrite at Corunna, both from Ameri-
ca, with six million three hundred thsu-
sand dollars. Another frigate, La Sa-
bina, with seven millions was expected.

which blew up in the late action with the
British frigstes, it 10 painful to state,
that there was nineteen lady passengers,

happy persons on board

1t is sta.ed in yesterdays paper, on
the authority Of letter from Madrid, Of
November 8, " that the British minis.
ter had left that city, and there was no
doubt Of a, war between Great Britain
and Spain"
1t has long been known that the Bri.
tish minister, Mr.. Frere, had left the
Spanish court a general expectation of
war followed, and some hostile mea1
sures were adopted 5 but affairs after.
wards assumed pacific appearance.
But if the person to whom the diploma
tic duties were committed when the mi
mister withdrew, has left Spain, it IS
certainly an unfavourable symptom.

from Spain to November IL, 1904, are
OF a pacific aspect, and those from En-
gland arc not hostile. At the last date
from Cadlz no preparations for war with
Great Britain were making: nor any
talk OF expected war notwithstanding
the capture Of the treasure frigates had
been fully confirmed. On recurring to
the information given by Lord Harrow
by, to the London merchants in Sep
tember last, it will be found, that the
unneutrai ornaments making in Spain,
had caused the English ministry to de
mand satisfactory explanations of their
destinations which Spain had neglect
ed or refused 10 make. About the same
time, the Spanish ambassador in Lon
don, was informed, that until salts.
factory explanation had taken place, no
ships Of war, and particularly those sup
posed to be freighted- with treasure,
would be permitted TO enter the ports Of
Spain. II has since been asserted In
Tho American pagers, that an armament,
designed for the Floridas, to support the
Spanish authority therein, has been
made, but has since been dis nsantled.--
