| On the 9th of June last, Senior Segovia, the
SPANISH Charge d'Affairs in this republic went
back to the capital from Puerto Rico, via ST. Tho.

here, that be had received from the Cabinet Of
Madrid, by the Spanish mail steamer tou ching at
Puerto Rice full, arbitrary powers to act against

light, in order to carry thor ehss;.--so
opposition to the American treaty, and in
very way to prevent its exchange. Aud at the
anne time, the spaniards in that city commenced to

leaty would net lie consummated.
BY article 9TH OF the Dominico-Spanish treaty
was agreed that those Spaniards who have resided

By such cordu I as this, Senior Segovia beyond
