I ? My principal reason fur addre* * imp you by this opportunity, is there port prevailing here this di^y? of some War on the part of Ibis country, be Sng in contemplation^ and most prob ; ably- pith the United States, which I trust, for your sake, will prdve - ?uite false. Improbable as such (in ?vent, may at first api>ear, it becomes fens so when c&oiy^eWBdered, -wifh all the concurrent circumstances of 4tit time*. This country cannot per mit Bpain to ratify the Treaty of ces nion of the Florida* to the United States; this must involve Spain in a war with the Union) she cannot de fend her still femaining transatlantic possess ion against America: thete , Jbre England must do it for her. - Moreover it is argueil, ami plausibly to I thin Sc. hy many amongst . us, ~TfcSt hot only England, but many Continental powers are bent upon ?upportingSpain, if necessary against America ; besides which they deem it politic to check in time, the rapidly grtfwing Oftlogsus of Northern Amer ica, shewing plainly an unlimited ambition after extension of territory, such as. if crowned With am c ess, may prove dangerous to other Eu ropean powers beside England. An atlier reason in support of the proba - biftty of the said event rumored, is the present situation of pubfic and private credit in the United Stales, which is slid to be at its lowest ebb, and the conclusion is that the gov eminent could not therefore make any effort commensurate with the exigencies of the occasion, and that "r thus a disunion in the Union might be created* ? " If our Cabinet have these views, and the conviction most natural, that the aggrandizing disposition of the United States9 government, cannot for any length of time avert a branch with them: unless Great- Britain wishes to see besides the Floridas. also Cuba, Mexico and other Span iel colonics under the dominion of the Untied States ? and all the Bri tish possessions in the West-Indies Worth having, in jeopardy, at the verv opening of any futuro war with her jealous aud threading rival, then ?n early rupture wij die United States assumes, iudeed, much proL? ability. ?* Two days ago, 10 and IS ghin eas were given nt Lloyd's, London, to receive 1001. ? if press warrant* woia a *4 ii 4# mc 48 days ei a forni&ht, 20 gaineas to return * 1001. if war between Spain ami Vmerica was declared in 6 weeks or 2 months, &c. ? I give yon the report as it prevails here, w ith tire reason ings suggested on the occasion, ami which, certainly makes the dreadful event much less improbable than it appears at first. ? Yon will, of course draw your own conclusions frotu all 1 have stated, and consider my com munication in its proper light : my wish is to be useful to you on all ??c casions.

"No other reason has ever been assigned in political circles in Spain, foi the fate of the treaty than the in terference of Eugland ? though it is stated, the Hriiisli Minister in Ma drid assured Mr. Forsyth, in con - vernation that he had no instructions from hi* Government to interpose any difficulty in the business, or to pre judice the rights of either party, and that he had not done so. All this, however might as well have been done iti London, for it is a popular I rumor that a secrety Tivuty exist Iwlwecvi England and Spain, >\ here by for some consideration, the luttel has stipulated (some years ago) never to cede her North American posses sion to any foreign power . If so, it was only necessary in the present in stance, for Eugland to hint that she exjiected Spain to comply with the faith of hor engagements. It is fur ther confidently stated, that England signified that if Florida was ceded to the United States, she {England) must have Cuba?and that she must also acknowledge the Independenee of South America ? aud that Spain might prepare iierself soon after wards, to surrender to the same grasping ambition the sovereignty of Mexico. u Calculating the weigher consi derations w^ich the cession in ques tion presents to England/ in a poli tical point of view, it is unreasona ble to believe, that some suggestions of this kiiid might have been offici ally addressed to die fears of Spain, and as every body says so, it is most likely true, if not altogether, at least in its essential parts. " Poor Don Onis, of course, must be sacrificed with the treaty-*? accord ingly he is forbidden to approach the capital, and some viy he is under arrest? it is certain he has met with some mark of displeasure from Iris government, and has not arrived at Madrid.
