Extract of a letter received in Philadelphia from an American gentleman in Cadiz, dated Cadiz, January 16, 1815.
"As to the political relations between Spain and the United States, I have very little at present to add to the information contained in my last. Mr. Erving lately appointed our minister near King Ferdinand, wrote from Paris to the Spanish Secretary of State, and asked for a passport to come to Madrid in his official capacity; but I understand he received for answer,
"That His Catholic Majesty would not receive any Minister or Ambassador from America, so long as the Minister from Spain to the United States was not received or acknowledged there, although His Catholic Majesty was desirous to strengthen the bonds of a sincere and generous amity with the U. States" The answer given to Mr. Morris, at Cadiz, by the late Regency of Spain, and the one he received afterwards at Madrid from the King's minister, were predicated on the same grounds: and it is said, that instructions have been sent to the Spanish Minister in America, to make known to the President this resolution of His Catholic Majesty."
