"The public opinion is very much divided as to the event of the present negociation with Spain. A messenger has just arrived from that Court, and report says, that one of the propositions sent there, has not been acceded to. I have good reason to believe, that Mr. Fitzherbert has sent for fresh powers. Opposition are endeavoring to make some use of Capt. M'Donald's testimony, by inflaming the people. The parliament being on the eve of meeting, the speech from the throne will afford a better opportunity of judging of the intentions of ministry, than any of the reports in circulation. I think it beyond a doubt, that they will avoid a war if possible: But John Bull will not readily forgive the expence he has been put to without some fighting."
