6 This revolution has been effected Wtthou
much boodshed. The government hasS1Ye1
official notice that the intention of the FTEench
emperor, in taking possession OF all srain, IS
TO protect it from the English. Our relations
with this country will, of course, be regulated
BY those Of France and you MAJ be Certain
that if we arc respected by France We shall
be doubly SO by Spain, and vlce versa.
We learn verbally that for fourteen days
previous to the execution OF the prince Of
Peace, he was daily brought out OF his pri'
son, and exposed in tie public ,narkei place
to the insults and derision of the populace

the revolutionary bosom will be exercised III
all the Spanish colonies, In most instances the
principal officers have been appointed by
the advice Of the prince ofpeace.

A letterfrom al American capt. at Algesiras
dated March ls, mentioning the receipt of !
letter from Mr.. Meade, al Cadiz, acquaintine
that the brig Sally Of Philadelphia, had been
released there. She had not been taker
on her passage, by any British cruizer, nol
had her regislerenaorsed but off the West
ern islands had been boarded by q British
priyateer After which she voluntarily
entered Cadiz harbour, end was there sever
al DAYS when it was discovered she had been
boarded, whereupon she was seized by Off
GERS of the government. Whether this In
stance is proof of favorable intention. as
to vessels whose registers were endorsed, end
the vessels forced into Spanish ports, is sub
iect to conjecture. Strong hopes how ssr.
are entertained. Government had caayFd
samples to be taken OF the flour on bogL fe-
tanned vessels at Algesiras. and it VIZ up
posed intended buy, they were rel ia !;
but some doubts were entertained Of the BOD
ness cf government pay. Bid.)
1t is probable that the revolution in Spain,
will retard decisions on the American vessels
so long detained at Algeziras, and other ports
in that country. (Ibid.J
