ana nothing, we are periuaded, could be more
ridiculous than the attention which apDcars 70

that lone arrangement either had taken place
or was on the point of being concluded, be-

that the kingdom of Spain, after having con.
iiderable portion carved out of it as an indemn;
tyfor the king of the Two Sicilies, will be bro.
ken up, aud partitioned among the relatives
or adherents Of Bonaparte. We are rather in.
cned to think that the vift of lord ST. Vim

would be ienhbly felt by the trade of this coun.

pole that iuch project has really been deter.
mined upon by the court OF Liibon, thev conld
not have better employed lord St. Vincent, than
IN The DUTY of preventing its execution.
