Summary
Death of Don Galvez, Minister of the Indies, has caused a considerable change in Spanish colonial policy. Perhaps new instructions will be issued concerning American states. He was received very warmly in Portugal, and the Minister for Foreign Affairs spoke with great interest about cementing the commercial ties between United States and Portugal. Despite the nature of his commission, he was expressly invited to attend the Court. Left because of press of duties at London.
