against (lie dominions of Spain ? -:ior
have any naval equipments been per
mitted, in favor of either party, a
gainst the other. Their citizens
Lave been warned of the obligations
incident to the neutral condition oi
their country-r-the public o facers
have heen instructed to see that the
laws were fully executed ? and se
vere examples have heeti made of
sonic who violated them.
In regard to the stipulation propo
sed, as the condition of the ratifica
tion of the treaty, that the U. State?
shall abandon tire right to recognize
the Revolutionary colonies in 8outh
America, or to form other relations
vith them, when in their judgement
it may be just and expedient so to
do, it is manifestly so repugnant to
t'ie hv>nor. and even to the indepen
dence, of the United States, t??at \\
h:;s been impassible to discuss it. In
rtnktug this proposal, it is perceived
that "lis Catholic Majesty has en
tirely misconceived the principles on
w hich this government have acted, in
being a party to a negociaiton so long
protracted, for claims so w e'll found
Via and reasonable, as ha likewise
baa (he sacrifice which the United
Htates have made, comparatively,
with Spain, in the treaty which it is
proposed to annex so extraordinary
and improper a condition. <
Had the Minister of Spain offer
ed an unqualified pledge that the trea
ty should be ratified by his sovereigti,
} on being made acquainted with tin1
explanation which had been given
by this sovernmennt, I here would
have, been a strong motive for accept
ing and submitting it to the Senate
for their advice and constat, rather
thftn resort to other measures for re
dress, however justifiable and pro
per. But he gives no such pledge.
On the. contrary, he declares expli
citly that the Veftisal of this govern
ment to relinquish the right of judg
ing and acting for itself hereafter, ac
cording to circumstances in regard to
the Spanish colonies- ? a right com
mon to all nations ? has rendered it
impossible for him, under his instruc
tions, to make . such engagement.
Hfe thinks that his 'sovereign will be
induced, by his communications, to
iratify the treaty ^ hut a till lie leaves
bir.l free eft her to adopt that riieasure
or decline it. He admits that the
other objections are essentially hi
$ioved, and will not, in thfemselres,
prevent tlie ratification, provided the
difficulty on the third point . td sur
mounted. ~ The , tesul t, 4 therefore,
is thrtt thi treity is declared to have
no obligation whatever | that its **
tification is mode, to <l6peiid^ hot on
the considerations Which led to its
adoption, attd tli6 conditions which
M contains, hut drt a new article un
connected with it, respecting Which
a new negotiation must he opened, of
indefinite duration* and doubtful is
sue. * ? I
Un<ler this view of the ku1*jecfr> the
course to|e pursued would appear
to be direct and obyioud, if this affairs
of Spain had remained in the fttafa in
which they were whin this MiuUter
sailed. But it is known, that an Im
portant change has since taken place
in the government of that cnuhlry,
which cannot fail to he sensibly felt
in its intercourse with other nations.
The M inister of Spain has essenti
ally declared his inability tfi act in
consequence of that change* With
hirti, liowfcver, under )m ptesetri
powers, nothing amid be done.
The attitude of the United States
nnlst now bti assume 1, tin ftitlN con
sideration of what ii ilrte to their
rights, their interest and honor, with
out regard to the noweta pr incidents
of tli<3 late itiiMion. \Ve may at
pleasure occupy the territory, which
was intended and provided by the
late treaty as an indemnity for losses
so long since Sustained by 6hr citi
zens, but still nothing could be set*
tied definitively, without a treaty be
tween the two nation*, is this the'
time to make the pressure ? If the
U. States were governed by tiewt
of amtttion and aggrandizement, mu
ll j strong reashns mixht be given ii
its favor. But they have no object
?>f thai kind to ncctitoplish ? non?
which are not founded Injustice, nn<!
which can he injured Ly foibearance.
Gi eat liope id entertained that this
change w ill promote the happiness
of the (Spanish nation. The good'
order, moderation, and humanity,
which have characterized the move
ment, are the best guarantees of its
success. The Uuited States would
not be justified in their own estima
tion, should they take auy step to
disturb its harmony. . When the
Spanish government is completely
organized on the principles ofc this
change, as it is expected it soon will
be, here is just ground to presume
that our differences with Spain will
be speedily and satisfactorily settled.
With these remarks, 1 submit it to
the wisdom of Congress, whether it
will not still J4e_a.dvistible to post
pone any decison onlhis subject un
til the next session.

ST. THOMAS, APRIL 16.,
" Siuce 1 wrote you on the ,4th,
there lias heen no confirmation of the
Import relative tp the capture of the
royal fleet; hut vi e yet live ih hopes
of a successful issue. Neither have
we had any accounts concerning the
operations of the armies. We have
been anxionsly waiting for news from
that quarter, for some time pa&t, but
owing to tio Arrivals, and no intelli
gence* from othfcr islands, we are
left in suspense. The only addition
al accounts I have to give you res
pecting the patriots, are, that Gen,
Devereaux's legion has no doubt,
by this time, arrived at Augustura,
as an English transport, having them
on board,, was spoken several days
past. Two vessels have been dis
patched from this port for Margar
ritta with 12,000 stand of arms, to
gether with ammunition, &c. &c.

' A memorial has been presented to
Congress, " by a Company of Stria*
f etters," praying for the grant of a
act of land sufficient for the settle
ment of three or four thousand fami
lies \ and so situated that it cati be
increased , according to the number
of emigrants suriviitg afterwards, and
on the following conditions- ? ,
1. That the division of the l*nds
may he made between settlers, hus
bandmen or mechanics, who wilf
settle in the colony.
.. 4{ That tin* settlers fhall not
liave a right to dispose of the lands<
tljat may have been granted to thejn,
until th?y have improved the same
by an agrfcultural establishment, or
some other branch of industry ; and
five years' residence on the ground,

death. ( ,
