treaty between Spain & Mexi-
| Accounts from New Spain, are to the
10Th July. BY an article dated at Jala-
da, on that day, we find that on the lth
OF June the convention had closed
which had been held in that city by d.
Guadalupe Victoria, representative of
the Mexican Government, and d. Juan
Ramon Oses and d. Santiago Irisarri,
Commissioners omthe part Of Spain, for
the purpose of forming treaty, benef-
cial to the interests of the two nations.
The convention continued during five
separate sessions, and the proce edings
are given at length. From the intimate
connexion that exist. between the two
nations in laws, language and religion,
and to. terminate all the dissentions
which had been too frequent Of late, it
| appears that treaty Of union and fra
ternity had been arranged to promote
their mutual prosperity, and that this
treaty IS founded on the basis of areci-
procal acknowledgement of the Consti-
tutional king of Spain and of the sove-
reignty of the Mexican nation.
Capt: Pearson states, that the U. S.
schr Grampus, Lieut.. Com. Gregory,
was at anchor abreast of the Fort, and
examined all vessels and boats, whether
going in or coming out. She had three
launches among the Keys, and off Point
De Caycas, and one between the Points
which form the Bay Of Matanzas-so
that Piracy in that quarters kept down
for the present On the 9th inst. tie
Governor sent his boat on board of the
Grampus, to demand of capt Gregory
his motive for lying soN'long in port
that if he wanted provisions or water,
he had been there long enough; that the
government did not allow their own'ves-
sells of war to remain at anchor longer
than 4s hours at one time, &c.-Capt.
Sregory's reply was, that he came
there Tor the protection of American
commerce, and that of Spain ii necessa-
ry; and that he would remaih there as
long as might berequired for these OBJ
