BOSTON, January 4.

IMPORTANT!

Mr. Davis, who arrived yesterday from the Vineyard, acquaints us, of the arrival there on Wednesday last, of the ship Resolution captain D. Rogers, in 49 days from Lisbon; who informed Mr. D. the previous to his sailing from Lisbon, information had been received there, by Mr. Pinckney, that our differences with Spain had been amicably adjusted; and that the court of Spain had ordered payment to be made for all the spoliations of ships, cargoes, freights, &c. heretofore allowed, and that all our territorial disputes with Spain are happily settled; and that the general aspect of our diplomatic concerns in that quarter, was auspicious and flattering in a high degree—That Mr. Pinckney had sailed from Lisbon for Charleston in a Swedish ship 5 days before the Resolution sailed. Captain Rogers also acquainted Mr. Davis, that the combined fleets had lost but five ships in the late action off Cadiz the other sixteen having drifted into the bay in a gale; and that the Spaniards were so impressed with this unexpected preservation of so many crippled vessels in that harbor, after the action, which they had despaired of ever seeing again, that they gave loose to their joy by a general illumination; as an event which they believe a Providential interference

DEUS AFFLAVIT.

Captain Rogers has dispatches on board for the administration, which no doubt will be sent forward by express as soon as they arrive at Cape-Ann. Mr. Pinckney cannot be expected for sometime, as the vessel he was on board was a dull sailer, The paper will probably therefore convey the first intelligence to Washington of this happy termination of our casual disputes with a friendly government, whose true interests are interwoven with those of this country and whose commercial prosperity must be our first and most sincere wish. We can only add that we have taken the utmost pains to ascertain the above mentioned particulars, and have no doubt of their being substantially correct.
