Nov. 3 By a gentleman, arrived in town on Friday from Cadiz, we are informed, that the King of Spain is about prohibiting all English manufactures through his dominions, as well in Europe, as in Asia, Africa and America :-- His Catholic Majesty is prompted to this, through compliance with his French allies, who always endeavour to lash England. If this news be true, the Spanish prohibition will, in its consequences, be much more prejudicial to this country than the French are. The Spaniards having but few manufactures, and those not on the best footing, their trade with England has hitherto been considerable; and when it ceases, will be severely felt throughout the kingdom.

Event Details

This would be more harmful to England than French measures, as Spain has few manufactures and relies heavily on English trade.
