? 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.

iel colonics under the dominion of

then ?n early rupture wij die United

ability.

"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. Be not surprised at What
ever fate may befall him ? at ail
events not a less punishment than lias
been inflicted on the Marquis Yfujo
for a similar oflcnte? it. still being
asserted that he was banished in con
sequence of his partiality for the
Treaty.
#iSiribe the conspiracy amongst
the troops at Cadiz, only about 8000
men have lieen forced off, said to be
for tM relief of Mofillo**? but now,
that they are gone to Florida. The
expedition is still talked of but the
prospect is very faini now of its ac
(jdiring a body. A few man may be
got off in detachments, hut nothing
more, for every dtjy things grow
worse and worse*
. v
u Although CDonnell has receiv
ed promotion and rewards for his
royalty in betraying the conspiracy,
tbey write from Madrid that be will
never leave there but in disgraceful
banishment ; so satisfied are the |>eo?
pie now that ' he was the instigator
and promoter of the whole plot.
