gincc our last, VIC have received late
intelligence from Spain. The report
Of the committee Of Foreign Relationss
anthorisiug the Prcsidcntlc take pos
session of Florida, had been received at
| Madrid, from the Spanish Charge des

Council of State was held, on the Esd
of April, who recommended a solemn
| nrotest to ~ entered, but no hostili.ies
| to take place, as they confessed them
selves not in situation TODD any thing.
The Presidents Message, which must
have reached Madrid previous to the
assembling of the Cores, will change
their tone, and 10 doubt conclitate The
angry feelings which the report, AS
might have been expected, has gwen
rise to.
| Mr.. Forsyth was not in Madrid when
I the report of the committee of Foreign
Relations arrived, having left there.four
days before, (April 25th) for Paris, OH
a visit to Mir. Gallatin. Of course no
official communication on the subject
has been made by him to the govern
ment of Spain. Indeed, until instruc-
tons could be received from Washing
ton, he could have held no ful ther i'll
tercourse with that government.
One Of our letters, OF the date of May
1st, says, :. The revolution in Spain
will bring your merchants to ruin, il
they continue shipping provisions in
hopes OF obtaining war prices for them.
In Cadiz there is 10 demand, and in
Gibraltar, Of four cargoes Of -four that
have arrived there, the sales have been
from 10 to / 2, and the latter price
cannot be obtained for a cargo from

dollars will not. he given. Beef and
pork, butter and lard, 10 sale. A re-
volulion in S ain canpot affect the
price of provisions, with all Europe at
peace, and a superabundance to supply

Two Patriot privateers have lately
been in the Mediterranean, doing some
mischief one Of them, under the Arti-
gas flag and commanded by Don Rear
do Luna, which being translated into
plain English, means, Dickey Noon.
From FREUD in Gibraltar, VIC have
received paper of that place, Of tho
date Of April %, from WHICH we extract
the following summary of Spanish az
fairs. 1t will bc seen that the King has
conferred upon Don Antonio Qurosa,
| (who may truly be styled the rcstoler
! Of liberty to Spain.) the rank OF Camp
Marshal. His merits entitled him to
the highest uttice in the power OF The
government.
