THE PRINCES DEBTS


The attention of the English parliament
has recently been called to His Royal High
ness, the Prince Regents debts. They "a
mount now. only to the small sum of si.r
hundred thohsard Hounds sterling, or about
tEoo millions sic hundred and sirfv-fonr
thousand dollars. In the year 1857 this
most Royal Prodigal was relieved OF a small
load OF similar membranes by grant of
one hundred and eighty one thousand pounds
sterling. The blessings of h,fucely 90
veinment are clearly shewn in events this
nature. While thousands Of manufacturers
are out OF employ. and others scarcely beg
their life along under the weight and pres
sure OF numerous and oppressive taxes Of e.
very Kind and description, this right illus
triors parsonage is adding with careless
productivity to the vast circle of misery and
rum. by mourning, obligations which he has
no means of discharging, by rioting on tire
wealth of industry and labor, and calling
time and again on the honest farmer and the
plodding mechanic to pay for his thoughtless
riots and unbounded piefusion. Pat.
Wehave been oblgingly favored with an
extract OF letter from person in the Ad-
uiinistration ofthe Government of England,
dated London, March IL, 1922 which has
been received here via Cadiz. We have sa-
tlsted ourselves as to the authenticity of the
quence to withhold it even for day
" "A secret Treaty has justb been concluded
between our Lthe British] Government and
the Anglo-Spanish Regency which has lust
been formed at Cadiz.-This treaty Dla-
ces the Islands Of CUpA, PoRTo RICO and
the Spanish part of ST. DOMINGO, under
the protection of this 1.-THE British Govern
ment. TO carry this Treaty into effect the

interest With respect to the Island of Gu
ia. Admiral IIiodaca, late Spanish minister
at our 1.-THE British court, has been already
appointed NO appointment more favorable
to our 1.-the British interest could lave been
made.
E" The government at Cadz arc at this
time engaged in selecting proper persons for
the ether stations From a conversation
had with marquis Wellesley, think it pro-
bable that INenendez, the present Governor
Oh forso Rico (on whom we can firmly de-
pend) will not be superseded AS to 81.
OomtnSo, we know not yet who will be ap-
pointed.
We are momently expecting to hear
from our public and secret Commissioners in
SOUTH AMERICA respecting the objects of
their mission. venture to say that our
ministers have considerable doubt as to
their success. AS the news from the coun-
try III which you reside becomes more and
more interesting to us, / rely upon you to let
no opportunity or conveyance whatever es-
cape without keeping me well advised of all
that can concern u.s."
1t is respectfully submitted whether the a.
bove information does not conciusvcly con-
firm the belief. that the Eloridas have been
coded to Great Britain. With such belief
we never would re-surrender Amelia Island.
or any post or place we are now possessed Of
III the Flordas. We are clear that neither
the roaring of the British Lion nor the crow
ing OF the French Cock, ought to be suffered
on the American continent. Dem. Prose.
