The London New Price current of May

in our Cotton Market since The heavy

From the London Morning Chronicle, May
81.
We yesterday alluded to the unfavora.
ble accounts of The state OF things at Sc.
vile and the Deigbborhood, contained in
letters lately received from thence. These
letters speak with confidence OF the dispo.
sition of the new Ministry to negotiate
with France, and are sanguine with re-
spect to the result, which Of course, sup
poses the hopes of acquiring a majority
Of the Cortes, as the decision rests With
that body.
We observed, that however much We
| regretted the being obliged to commun1.
cafe this information, il was Of that nature
that we could not withholdit. Still, how.
ever, admitting this disposition to nego.
ciale on the part OF the Spanish Ministers,
admitting them to be as base and imbecile
as the English and French Ministers can
wish them to BE-, We confess we are at q

cumstances which render the French de-
sirous OF negotiating, may render ihe sci.
Element more troublesome business than
they could wish.
The negotiations are entirely Of English
origin, Preparations have been making
for them ia Seville ever since The govern

Ambassador whose address g. deyterity il

pretty well established at Naples. The
time is now judged favorable for the grand
blow, as the tone OF the French, which
has lowered considerably since the CON-
mencement of the campaign, is now deem.
ed of the proper pitch. The Duke D..
Angouleme has had sagacity enough to
discover that his auxilaries, composing
the Army OF the Faith, are rather intent
on the means Of plundering, under Bour-
bon protection, than actuated by desire
to alter the political institutions Of their
country. From Catalonia the private re-.
