way TO say more upon this subject than orr
readers were prepared TO expect; but cOnsi-
deTipg the mystery "a which il is now wrapped
b. the strange decision of Ferdinand, in the
case OF the treaty, much more remains TO be
said than has met the public ear:in this coum-
Try. A few days ago We stated, as well an-
thenticated report that a secret tTedfy exist
ed between Spain aud England, by which the
Fioridas were put al the disposal Of the latter.
and consequently, thatthe King of Spain could
not raiity any Treaty for ceding them to The
United States, if England chose to forbid it
We have since received letters from Spain by
"a late arrival at one Of our northern ports.
which, while they confirm our confidence IN
this report, give ms AN insight into the ,ubtle
machinery which pIOpeIs the political system
Of Spain in herrelatiOn with The United States
We shall AZ present make no comment on this
newly disclosed fact, bui merely lay the sub
stance of these interesting communications
before our readers, assuring them, at The same
Time, that they are from source, the credible
lily of which we can understandings vouch for

The Hornet arrived al Gibraltar the
20llI inst. from Cadiz, (where she arrived
on the 17tb) but in consequence of the
fever which desoIates that city, Captain
READ could not land. II was doubtful
whether he would be admitted al Gibral-
var, as merchant vessels from CadiZ had
been peremplorily refused, and until the
VIII OF The Governor could be known, the
Hornet was guaranteed. As soon as he
was apprIsed of the circumstance that
The officers had no communication with
the shore at Cadiz, and that perfect health
prevailed on board, Governor Don re-
moved the restriction, and Capt. READ
landed with his dispatches. This act of
