All Appearances.
It is stated in a letter from Baltimore to a gentleman in Norfolk, that Mr. Monroe, our Minister at London, has, in his dispatches to the Government of the United States, recommended an immediate declaration of war against Spain.
It is reported in this city, (says the Richmond Virginian Enquirer,) that the Spanish Minister, the Marquis d'Yrujo, having determined to leave the United States, has demanded his passports from our government. The report adds, that the President observed in reply, that we had no such etiquette in this country, and that it was in the power of a foreign minister to quit the United States when and how he pleased. A report so important in itself, since it may be regarded as an ominous sign of an approaching rupture between the two countries, we shall take the earliest opportunity to contradict or confirm.
