We Yesterday received advces from Ca

er accounts relative to the measures adopted
at Cadiz, for resisting the projects of Bona
parte against the independence of Spain and
preserving the Spanish feet from falling in
to his hands, by delivering itup in trust to G..
Britain. We further Informed by this con-
veyancc, that the people of Seville have ia
ken possession of the arsenals, and that the
province of Aragon had unanimously resolv-
ed toresiSt the power and influence Of France.
1t was reported, that the Duke De Infanta-
do was about to place himself at the head of
the people in order to direct their patriotic
spirit in the laudabe assertion of the indie
pence oftheir country and the greater Gre
de was attacked to this report, from the cir
cumstance Of that revered nobIeman not ha-
wing been mentioned in any of the revlu.ion-
airy DEGREES that had hitherto been issued
from Bayonne. At all events it is evident that
the people will not become the willing slaves
of Bonaparte and should it prove true that
their efforts are to be directed by leader of
such talent and estimation, the most san
guinc hopes may be entertained in RESPECT to
the result Of so glorious struggle.

, LONDON, June g.
Il is said that the Viscount Materosa and
Don Diego de la Vega, who are arrived from
Spain, have been deputed to solicit the as
sistance OF this country towards enabling the
Spaniards to expel the French.
Forty thousand men are said to have al
ready enrolled themselves, and the province
OF Asturias is by no means one of the larg-
est i'll Spani. Gallicia can furnish a much
larger force so can Biscay. The Biscay-
ans too are hardy race. accustomed to
military discipline, and deeply attached to
the constitution Of their particular province.
Leon, Arragon and Catalonia, are expected
to follow the example of Asturias; and the
CASTLES, never backward in the cause Of
their country, win scarefy be the last to
prove their patriotism. But they are more
Immediately in the power of France than
any Of the ether provinces it is there that
the great body Of the French are concentra-
ted. BoDaparte in the mean time, aware of
the indignation of his most infamous treGch-
cry has excited, is puring more troops into
from Spain Italy, from the Netherlands and
from France.

LETTER FROM THE SECRETARY OF THE
TREASURY.
TREASURY DEPA2 TMENT,
.N.,hsntL.,,.
September Ia, 1903,


SIR,
L had the honor to receive your letter of
the 22d August, requesting to know whether
any part Of the two millions of dollars ap-
propriatcd by the act ri tie 18th February,
1906, for defrayinE amy extraordinary eX-
pences attending the intercourse with To-
reign nations, had Deen drawn from the trca-
sury-and, If thus drawn, 20 what purpose
the money had been applied?
Official documents, already published by
order of Congress, sufficiently shcw that
not single cent of that money has ever
been expended. The appropriation was
made in order to enable the President to &C
quire Florida by treaty. Messrs. armstrong
and Bo7vd0in, who were entrusted with the
negotiation, were accordingly authorised, if
they should succeed in making the purchase,
to draw for one million of dollars on the Ban
kers of the u. States at Amsterdam, and for
one million on the Treasury as was stated
to Congress in the annual report on Finances
of December, 1906. The negotiation did
not succeed Florida has not been purchas-
cd: those gentlemen never drew for any
part of the money and the funds placed in
the hands of the Bankers at Amsterdam,
part of which would have been applied to
the purchase, if it had taken place, have,
according to their original destination been
solely applied to the payment of the Dutch
debt; as appears by the annual report of the
commissioners of the sinking fund of Febru-
airy, 1908.
The evidence of those facts being scatter
ed amongst voluminous documents of no We
ny general circulation, enclose certificate
from the Register of the Treasury, which
will remove any doubt on that subject.
Ihavc the honor to be,
With consideration,
Sir,

a SHORT ACCOUNT OF THE Policy OF THE
EMBARGO
From a Corresbondent.

From Cores p0ndeNt.
SHORT ACCOUNT OF THE Policy OF THE
EMBARGO.
When The Embargo policy was finally adopted
by or Government, there was but choice of
three evils, namely the suspension of our COM
merce for time the prosecution of under the
restrictions imposed upon it by the French de-
crees and British orders or, declaration of
war.
The Embargo was preferred, because our gov
eminent possessed information, which afforded
abundant ground for believing, that the British
orders and the French DEGREES, ifresisted would
soon be recindcd, or be so modified as to be un-
exceptonable to us.
IF this peaceful policy had not been adopted.
we must have pursued our commerce subject to
the restrictions imposed upon it by the British
orders and by :he French decree s.-And what
are they ,
The British orders, among other exceptionable
restrictions, declare that all American vessels
must, IN the first instance, go to a British port,
must there obtain lcence To proceed to her port
OF destination, and must, moreover, pay for the
same a certain tax.
The French DEGREES, among other exception
able restrictions, declare that all American vcs
sells, bound to or from a British port or b,v;nr
ON board any British manufactures. or hayi,S
been visited by any British vessel of war, shall
be taken as legal prize
To restrictions SO destructive and bun;l;ot;,o,
the honourabis and manly feelings Of America
most assurediy, would not have submitted. and
TO such national degradation would, as surely
have preferred war with all its ills Our gov.
crnment, well knowing this, and that war would
therefore, have been the inevitable effect of The
exercise OF such arrogant pretensions, wisely de-
termihcd TO suspend our commercial intercourse
with both the belfgereuts for time ,isder 4b,.
fullest persuasion Of effecting, during such su,-
pension, an hoh6urable adjustment ,vifl, both ma
tons. And the dispatches by the ST Michael.
