The period when the destiny Of the Span
ish nation and Of it's sovereign will be ire
vocably fixed, no longer appears to be re-
mote, the Official journal already begins to
throw aside part of the veil, which conceal-
ed the negotiations, whereof Bayonne was
the centre, by announcing the conclusion oe
treaty between the emperor and the diff
fcrent members Of the Spanish house -
The article wherein the Moniteur announ-
ces this important intelligence is dated
Bayonue, May II, and is as follows
"By treaty concluded between the en-
peror Napoleon and king Charles, and
which has been acceded to by the Prince Of
As.urias, and the infants Don Carlos, Don
Francisco, and Don Antonio, who compri-
sed lie whole of the members of the house
Of Spain, all be existing differences have
been adjusted. We are still ignors Mt of the
conditions OF the treaty. according to the
constitution Of our government, it cannot
be made public till it has been communities
ted To the senate. But we perceive by the
proclamation Of the king Of Spain and that
Of the prince Of AsturIas, that the emperor
Napoleon is clothed with all the rights Of

WASHINGTON City, Aurust II.

Il is asserted by col. Monroe in his letter JUS
ti6catory of his conduct in acceding to the
terms ofthe rejected treaty, that on he subject
o. impressment there was az informal UNDER
standing between himselfand the British com
missiouers, that, in future, there should be 10
impro- or exercise Of the practice ofimpressing
men from on board American vessels This
assertion is calculated to impose upon the pub
lie for tits an updeniable fact that a letter ex
ISIS, written and signed by lord Auckland, one
Of the British commissioners who framed the
treaty, wherein his lordship positively declares
tina, it was not intended by him nor his col
league lord Holland, in any Of tieir communi-
cations with the American ministers, to convey
an idea that the British government would fore
go any Of the privileges ofimpressment which
it had previously claimed and exercised. 1t
will be well for our friends to make this fact
(aad they may be confident that It IL fact) a.
notorious as possible, because the enemies ofthe
administrat on have iabored hard to induce the
people to believe that Great Britain was dispo-
sed To concede what was reasonable ON the
subject of impressment, which is not true.
