Extract if a letter from Mr. Forsyth to the Secretary of
Stale, dated Madrid, May 20, 1622.
“The King and royal family Went dowqrto Aran-
uez, shortly after the meeting of the Cortes; the dip-
omatic buoy made tbe ordinary complimentary visit
on the Queen’s day, and it-was understood among us,
that we were to pay no more visits until the anniver
sary of the King's entrance into Madrid, on his return
from France^, on the 13lh of tills mouth, and St. Fer
dinand’s doy, the 30th. Notes were written by the
Secretory of State, on the 4th of April, inviting us to
be present at the lime of the delivery of the wife of
Don Carlos; (a copy of that fo me is enclosed, No. 1.)
1 had determined not to go; but a second note, on the
30tli, (copy, No. 2.) and the knowledge that nil tile n-
thcr ministers had gone down to Aranjucz, induded
inc )O' change this determination, being unwilling, es
pecially at this juncture, to give any room, for com
plaint, from a failure to comply with the Customs of
tbe court. I went to Aranjucz onthc 5th instant. On
the-7th, I received a note, (copy marked No. 3.) to
attend at the expected delivery of Don Francisco's
wife. ■- The wifo of Don Francisco gave birth, on the
13th instant, to « prince. Although I had been so
long ot Aranjuez, I received no notice to attend,
when the event took place. Under ordinary circum
stances, I should have taken itfor granted that the o-
mission was accidental; but, in the present state of
the relations of^painnnd thn United States, I thought
Jt necessary to ascertain that it was not an intended -
Might. I wrote, therefore, on the 13th, a note to M.
J ~ '* Rosa, (copy, No. 4.) to which I received a sa-
tory reply, (cony, No. 5.). ‘ On the 16th, the o-
princess was delivered of a second son. I had'
notice, but not early enough to get to the apartment
adjoining thqf of the princess, to witness the exhibi
tion of the neiv-bom babe, at which I very heartily rcJ
joiced."

"BARGAIN AND SALE.'
MR, BUCHANAN’S STATEMENT.
To the editor of the Lancaster Journal—
THE Cincinnati Advertiser was last night
placed in my hands by a' friend, containing am-
address from'Gen. Jackson to the public, dat- .
cd on the IStli ult. in which ho has announc
ed • mo to bo the Member of Congress'with
whom ho had conferred in his lottor to Mr.
Beverley, of the 5th Juno last. Thtj *diny
which I owe to tho public, and to m vs elf,
now compels mo to polish to the wodd the
only conversation which I ever held with Gen.
Jackson, upon tho subject of tho last Presiden
tial election, prior to its termination.
In the month of December, 1824, a short
time after the commencement of tho session of
Congress, I heard, among other rumors then
in circulation, that Gen. Jackson had deter-
mined, should lie ho elected President, Jo con
tinue Mr. Adams in the office of Secretary of
State. Although I felt certain ho had never
intimated such an intention, yet I was sensible
that nothing could be bettor calculated both to
cool tho ardor of his friends, and inspire hi.
enemies with confidence, than the belief that
he had already seloctcd his chiof competitor
for tho highest office within Ids gift. I thought
Gen. Jackson owed to' himself and to tlio cause
in which his political friends wero engaged,
coijtradict this report; and to declare that ho
would not appoint to that office the man, how*
evor worthy he might be, who stood at the
head of tho most formidable party of his polit
ical enemies. These boing my impressions,
I addressed a letter to a confidential friend in ,
Pennsylvania, then and still.high in office, and
exalted in character, and one who had ever
been tho decided ndvocato of‘Gen, Jackson’s
election,.requesting his opinion and advice Up
on tho 'subject. I received his answer, dated
27th Dec. 1824, upon the 29th, which is now
before me, and which sirongthoned and con
firmed my previous opinion. I then finally
determined, that I would either ask Gen. Jack-
son myself, or get another of.his friends to ask
him, whether lie had ever, declared.he would
appoint Mr. Adams his socretary of state. In
tjiis manner, I hoped a contradiction of tha
report might b’o obtained from himself, and
that ho might probably declaro it, was not his
intention to appoint Mr. Adams.
A short timo previous to the receipt- of tho
letter to which I have reforre'd, my friend Mr*
Markley and myself, got into convorsatioHr-az
wo very often did, both before and after, Upon,
the subject of the Presidential election, and
concerning tho person who would probably bo
selected by Gen. Jackson, to fill the office of
secretary of state. I feci sincerely,sorry that
I am compelled thus to introduce his name,
but I do so with tho less reluctance, because it
■has already, without any agency of mine, found
its way into the newspapers, in connection
with tim» transaction.
Mr. Nlarkloy adverted to die rumor which
