From the CONNER cial Adveriiser Of Sept. 7.
The answer of he Cor,es to the Speech Of
The King OF Spain, will be perused with in
terest. The language IS conciliatory, and The
sentiments liberal; and it exhibits The ut
most confidence in the complete establishment
and stability of the new order Of things. From
the language held in regard to the difficulties
between the United States and Spain, we per.
ceive tile wisdom of the course which has been
pursued by the President Of the United States,
ia regard TO the Foridas. The Cortes say,
they see with no less satisfaction than your
Majesty, the perfect harmony between your
Majesty's government and foreign powers, and
they will aid, il this should be necessary. in
drawing closer such friendly relations. Taey

The terms a. bu, the principles Of Justice

The part Of The Cortes, Of the crooked policy
which has heretofore been adopted by the
Cabinet of Spain, ia her negotiations with us;

better faith hereafter.
BY the latest advices from the Colonies, we
have reports that some Of the patriot chiefs.
and many of their troops, have evinced dis
position 10 accept Of the terms OF reconciIia
ton which have been proposed. Such an
event may therefore be considered as not i'm
possible, although we mus, confess we do not
think it very probable at present.
Il is singular fact, that Of the numerous
children of the late King Of Great Britain not
one of them has legitimate child living, ex.
cept The late duke Of Kent, who has lef, an
infant daughter Should the present king be
taken away, the crown would pass TO the
duke OF York, and from him to the duke of
Clarence &c. and ultimately, unless the duke
of Clarence should yet have an heir, or some
other Of The royal family be so fortunate as to
have male issue, the infant child abovemen-
toned, will probably come TO the throne. Il
is no, unlikely that the anxiety of,be ministry
to divorce the present Queen, may arise from
an expectation that the King would marry
some one OF the German princesses. and thus
possibly prevent any difficulties III at might
hereafter arise in the succession of the crown.
Il has even been limited in some of the for
egn papers, that iNihe event ola divorce of
the present Queen, his majesty would be 10
vited by parliament, to marry one of the
Austrian Arch. duchesses, Of whom there are
three or four single.
