Since the above was prepared tor press,

! several letters. One from capt. ReddIe,
CT the Thisbe, dated the 10th uit. mentions
! thai the lcarus and The heet made their ap-
psarance of that port on the 9Th, and

We learn by the National Gazette, that
some additional papers relative to the ne
go,iations concerning Spain, were laid be-
fore the British Parliamen Oh the 29d A
prIl. We subjon two OF [says the editors)
them, both Interesting historical docu-
ments, The separate article 10 the treaty
of 1914, between England a9d Spain, IS OF
much political importance, aud the cir
cumstsnce is not little curious that Tai
leyrand should have requested It's conceal
ment. The English Journals remark on
the article
"Tbis merely recalls with new force,
the fear often already expressed that we
are with all our disposition 10 peace. but
too likely 90 be drawn into war. VIII not
circumstances grow oui Of the success OF
France, if she do succeed, before which
this article OF our treaty with Spain must
necessarily yield ?"

In 1922 we declined the services OF three
