SIR General Wives the new Mini,
ter of Spain to the United States ,n;
we'd at Paris on the 18th instant, ,,I
left it on the 18th for London, with II.
intention to embark at LiveipooI, !,

on the lst day of March.
Mr.. Pasquier, after having seen hin
invited me to an interview ON the 19a
and said that he was in hopes that 6'
differences might still be adjusted
Gen. Wives had told him that the urr
ciple points with Spain we're, that at
honor of the crown should be saved mi,
couvert) in the business Of the grants
and to receive satisfactory evidence d
our intention to preserve fair neutra.
lily in the colonial war. Mr.. Pasuuer
had observed to him that it would be
matter Of deep regret that private in.
terest should prevent the conclusion Of
such an important arrangement, and
that when it was clear that there had
been at least a misunderstanding on the
subject, the Kings dignity could not
be injured by resumption of the grants
or by an exchange for other lands
he seemed to think that this would be
arranged, and asked me what [
thought we could do respecting The D..
Their point? l answered that the fullest
reliance might be placed on the fairness
of our neutrality, and, that | was really
at loss to know what could be added
to the measures the United States had
already adopted to enforce il. Mr.
Pasquicr gave me to understand that
if there was any defect, howevert riaiUs
in our laws, and that was amended, it
would probably be sufficient to satisi!
the pride of Spain, as there now appear.
ed real desire to ratify, provid it
could be done without betraying glar'
ing Inconsistency. Ee had expressed
to General Wives his opinion Of the i'm.
proprieiy of asking from the United
States any promise not to recognize the
independence of the insurgent colonies,
and had told him that, on that subject
Spain could only rely on the moral Ell.
feet which solemn treaty, aCcommo.
dating all her differences with the Uni
ted States, would have on their future
proceedings.
l expressed my hfpc that the explain
atoms which Gen. Wives was instruct
ed TO give on the subject Of the grams
and to ask on that of our neutrality
might be such as to remove all the eH'
isting difficulties. But it was most ln'
portant that he should arrive in tho
United States, before the adjourn
ment of Congress, and that he should
be the bearer of the Kings ratification
OF the treaty, SO that, if every thlas
was arranged, those notifications mISN
be at once exchanged at Washington
if that WAS not done the Presldsh
would have no more security that lN
King would ratify General Wives thsl
