RELATIONs MINI spAIN.

Inc freSluent OF the United States YES
terday transmitted to the House of Re.
representatives. three documents, comprising
the information called for. on motion Of
MIR: Robertson, respecting the recent de-
mands by Spain. They consist of two
letters from the Spanish Minister to the
Secretary, the last ofwhich is dated the
4th instant, and reply to these letters by
the Secretary of State, dated the 10Th in
slant. The hour at which these letters
were read, was 50 late, it was impossible
TO obtain copies of them in time for this
days paper.
Substantially, the Spanish Minister
makes the following demands, under the
express commands of the King his master
L. That the portion of the territory
west of the Perdido, which the United
States have claimed and held under the
Louisiana treaty, should be delivered up :
alter which, he intimates, that the two 90
vernments may discuss the right to it.
9. That the government will take mea.
sures to punish aud dispense g faction
band of insurgents in Louisiana and espe.
cially New Orleans who, as the Ministe.
alleges, continue with impunity to raise
armies, and to light the aarne ofrevoIution
in the Spanish provinces, &c.
8. That orders be given to collectors
not TO admit vessels under the Revolution.
AIRY flags of South America, either to land
or sell the shameful proceeds 0: their pira
cy, as it's termed, much less to equip and
arm.
The Minister states that for seven years
gang Of adventures have assaulted Spain
from the bosom of the Republic. In his
second note he intimates that Toledo sus-
peuds his traitorous expedition until the
expected arrival of a large number Of Ken
tuckians, aud a less number of Tennessee
ians to join him &c. adds, that if this
gang of desperadoes are permitted to go
! on, the adored King his master, will have
reason to suspect that the government at
least c0nnives at, If ii does not sauction.
such enterprises.
In reply to this the Secretary of State
expresses the regret Of the government.
that Spain should have preferred demands
OIL US instead Of evinciug a disposition to
discuss if not to redress the iujuries we
have received, which are recapitulated.-
The Secretary replies to the demand of
REIMBURSEMENT of territory, that we have
the same right to ask for the surrender of
territory on the Sabine previous to the
discussion of 0nr claim to it. lie does
not admit the correctness of the statements
OF the Minister, and demands pro f of spe.
ciic facts. In regard to the demand Of
excluding the flag of the reyolted colonies.
II is answered that our government has al.
ready by general rule authorized the adj
mission Of all flags except those of pilates
and of course that it is not Inclined to
prohibit the admission of the flag of the
colonies who have established independ-
emf governments.
These documents were not read till a.
bout dusk, and were ordered to be printed
OF course. Tney shall appear in our next.
