That he does not pofiefs the confidence of
his court is obvious from Jingle circumit ance.
When the late Roekjobbing intelligence of a
peace arrived, 10 lhaliow was his understanding,
and 10 utterly unac quainted was he with the di-
Plomatic fituation of Europe, that he HvaHozved
this hlly news though there was not an editor
OF any understanding in the United States, that
had not difcernment enough to fee that it was
too marvellous and irreconci!caole with the re-
lative circumstances of the powers of Europe,

Their FOR Spain or South America is not certain.
So much for his intelligence, diplomatic and in
teileaual.
Although he endeavors to have it propagat-
ed out of doors, that he is re-appointed and
confirmed by +" the King bis MATER" in oppoii-
t'on to the expreis deiire of our government,
we totally diIcredit the fae. The agents of the
UnitediStates, would not remain at Madrid if he
was not removed. or promife for his reno
val given we have very recently heard of the
preience OF one OF cur public agents at Madrid,
and OF his representations on the affairs pending
between the two nations. This occurrence
could not take place if Trajo was any longer
confdered as the ambafador of Spain and in
tact, we have heard, that his ficceiIor is nam

reGueit, permifiion, under pretencc of family
eoneern5, to remain fhort time; but really to
1vind xo certain colonial Ioeeuiatoxs, and TO com
piete certain plans of emoument and ma,:,po-
'y, for which he has been for many months pre-.
par'ng machinery in this city. But it cannot be
true that he is re appointed, and although he
may have gone to Baltimore, to fettle Soutb
Ane,ieaa account, he will never again prefent

1t cannot be iuppoied for a moment, if we
reflect upon II, that any court in Europe would
10 FAR forget lis ozvx irfereR and the common
uiage OF nations, as TO Unfit on another nation
retaining an obnoxious character, and whole
diimiilion had heen reque(ted on the ground of
grots mi!condu6f. The court of Spain cannot
be indifferent TO our relative Situations, and
KNOWS PERFECTLY well that we cannot he r,oe-ceI
| and that the want of mniter here NUT be TO
her difsdyautage and not ours.
There can be no doubt, from the MALIGNANT
character of the man, and his intrieues here,
that Yrujo has endeavoured to perfuade the
rnini'ters of the skine bis MATER" that all his
ff'N' hSiS WSsS playSu tU TO tSrVC MN and
that the miniiters of th,'tourt of Spain ihould
believe fnch things, when there was no means
OF contradifting them, is not at all improba
bic; but then the auction did not depend on
his merit or dement, i'll the feryce of ;" the king
| his na:ter," but whether he could be forced
upon Us as a mnitter with leeeney, or even with
e9etf. The difpatch which folicited his reno
val was too explicit to admit of any doubt of
the determinations of our executive, and if any
thing were wanting, The baalj6n,e manner
IN zVbieb bis pyslzne- at WayQ5ing.ss was diff

for ever.
Indeed, after being diihonoured AS he has
been, and expoird as his utr;gues have been.
1t very perceptibe that Catillian pride is W..
ry much fallen, or that it is TO be found only at
the " Cattle in Spain"-for if il was in his
veins, the hoaor of the genuine Spaniard would
have retired from the theatre of it's lhame long
ago.
We repeat it-whatever may be the intent.

iocthed, angry paiiions and ,efentments.
