Norfolk, (Va.) July 23.
We have it from undoubted authority, that accounts are received in this place, by the ship Minerva, from Cadiz, as late as the 2d of June, stating "that the mission of Col. Munroe and Mr. Pinckney to the Court of Madrid, had ended, and that not being able to bring the Spanish Government to accord in any one point, either as relates to claims of Territory, Spoliations, or the Convention of August, 1802, Mr. Munroe had demanded his passport, and was about to leave Madrid immediately for London. The dispatches on this business have gone forward to the President, via. Lisbon, and by the Cotton Planter to New.York."
