"It is currently reported that the Portuguese minister, who was some time since imprisoned at Paris, is released; and that the king of Spain has undertaken to make the peace of this country with France. I hope the resignation of the Prince of Peace from the office of Secretary of State in Spain, will be productive of good effect; and it is reported, and I was assured as a fact from the Spanish ambassador here, that a Spanish frigate had sailed from Corunna to England. It is also reported, admiral Mazzaredo has solicited a passport from admiral Parker off Cadiz, to suffer a Spanish frigate to pass to England; which he complied with. Two frigates arrived from Lima at Corunna with 7,000,000 dollars. Four out of five Spanish Ships which sailed from Montevideo, are taken by the British squadron off Cadiz. An English Indiaman with 5,000 chests of tea, is taken and carried into Spain."
