this country and Spain with relation f."
Spanish America =" our department for
foreign affairs has been for some time
much occupied. Important negotiations
with England are puhlickly talked of, and
an arrangement is spoken of with our in
surgent colonies through the mediation of
that power. Ii is also said, that rego-
tiations are on foot respecting the Flori

tries to the United States OH receiving a

Ministerial Evening paper says
BY recent and authentic letters from
Portugal, we learn that most active pre-
| parations are making to complete the mi
htary establishments ofthat country. Ar
morles are atwork, and the most vigo-
rous spirit seems to animate the Regency.
The frontiers are surrounded by Spanish
troops, and matters seem ripe for con
test. 1t is rumoured that the state OF
South America, and the mysterious ope-
| rations OF the Portuguese army, are the
grounds of this appreliended contest be-
tween the two countries" To these
grounds of difference may be added, the
refusal IF Spain 10 give up the fortress
and territory of Olivenza. The Portu-
guese Government, we understand, has
contracted with persons in this country
for supply OF 800 stand of arms, of
which 5000 are already on their way to
| Lisbon.
