We are reproached with some tartness, by one or two prints, for omitting to notice the report, which was recently circulated, that the president had refused to receive or recognise the minister extraordinary of Spain. The report has not passed us unobserved; but we deemed it scarcely necessary to contradict such a statement, when it was accompanied with the assertion that the correspondence with that minister had terminated. We presumed every one would be able to judge whether a negotiation could have been entered into, and continued for two or three weeks, with a foreign agent, before he had been officially recognized as such.
