We have ascertained from a source of
unquestionable reliance, that Burr has not
only wormed himself into the British Ca
binet, but has also induced the SPANISH
COMMISSIONERS to believe, that the

and that we have no possible claim to il.
what course, then, may we expect the im~
ntortahsed &dniSh Patriots TO pursue! Is
v not probable. that at the insdgation of
Burr and the British ministry, that the Spa
niards will send Commissioners TO this
country, to have their independence recog-
nized, and, perhaps, to efIer some insult.
