we have seen some conjectures in the itewsi
papers respecting the delivery of the‘ Spanisti
posts in F lortda, which it llflS\l)Cen announcetl arc;
to be restored to the Spanish government," this
haverled us to some inquit-y_‘iiito the subject. _
_ '1 be two Spantshposts, we are induced to be-'
lieve, will be surrendered under variant ,ciri:um5
stances. 1 ’ _ _ ,._f- _
The post of ‘St. Marks will not be‘ siirt'end¢p;
ed, _but to alorce competent to holdfit. It is a
military post remote lrom’an_y population, sup.‘
rounded by hordes of desperate Indians and ne-
‘K
-,7
‘groes; it is theonly blarrier against the_ir' rava-
ges and incursions. Tqcvacuate it on the more
demand of any Spanish agent dept'1ted to" receive;
or toa force incompetent to hold it, would be to
evacuate it to the Indians ;' 16:‘, we have the au-
thority of the late Spanish conimander of it,‘l'oi'
he them.‘ Self preservation is the first dictate of
nature; andpthere is nothing in the‘ law of na-
tions, most rigorously construed, which requires
anauon to prostrate any part of its populatioii at
the mercy of an infuriated and savage cne‘x‘ny.
Vile have daily accounts that the Seminole In-
dians, remaining ttnsubdued, ‘are _cmbodig¢l in
force : this check withdrawn, and they might:
sweep our borders. On the appearance of a fo‘r<’:_e'
adequate to garrison the post, it will be promptly
given up. .
yVith respect to’ Pensacola, that post stands‘ on
a different looting. There are not fifty warriors’;
west of the Appalachicola, and the population of S
the frontier is suflicient to keep themiin awe.—"-'
The population of Pensacola alone, is abundently
competent to-preserve it frofn falling into the
hands of the Indians. That post, therefore, will
be surrendered, without condition, to any agent
of Spain duly authorised to receive it._
It isthus seen, that the United States’ do not
desire to hold the Spanish posts; one of which
is surrendered without condition, and the other
without any condition, but that it. shall not be-sur-=
rendered to a force, nominally Spanish, under a
controul_ actually Indian. In a word, it is to Spain,
and not to the Seminoles, that both the posts‘ are
to be surrendered.
Res/zccting Buenos atfyres-—(bg/fzrivafe letters.
The Portuguese got possession of Colonia on
the first of May ; whether by conquest or treach-
ery is not known, butby the latter it is believed;
in, which place, at the date of our information,
(the latter end of June) there were a thousand _
men garrisoned. ‘ About the same time, the Por-
tuguese General Currow took Pttrilication and
Paysander, with 3500 men. A corps of cavalry
crossed the Uruguay, and after plundering the
Arrayo de la China, repassed the river. The
Portuguese afterwards abandoned Purification,
and took a position between the Uruguay and
Paysander. The uncertainty ofall news receiv-
ed at Buenos Ayrcs was such, that it was not
known how things actually stood, at the date of
our advices. The contest, however, was consid-
ered very unequal. Artigas being thus cut off
from the resources afforded on the sea coast, and
being, withal, deprived of any aid from Buenos
Ayres. _ p
The government of Buenos Ayres‘, it is said,
permitted the Portuguese to sengl their vessels
of war up the river, to co-operate with their land
forces, which amount to about 10,000 men.-—
The success of the Portuguese had had the usual"
effect of making them confident, and theylopenly
threaten to take possession of the Island of Mar-
tin Garcia, which commands the entrance to the
Uruguay and some of the entrances to the Para-
na, and which is garrisoned bythe troops of Bu-
enos Ayrcs. If they succeed in this attempt, it
requires no great forecast to predict ‘that their
next attempt will be on the \Vestern Shore.
Of the safety of the provinces of Buenos Ay-
res,-of their ability to maintain their independ-
ence, if united, there can be no doubt; there is-
no saying to what the violence of their internal
divisions may not bring thcm—-though it is be-
lieved, they have little.to apprehend from any
force the Portuguese can bring against them.---Ia.
, VVe have received the following communica-
tion (says a Barbadoes paper of Aug. 8,) from a
quarter that autborisesthe fullest authenticity :
“Admiral Brion lia‘s’--retttrned to Augustura,
with a considerable'su_pply of arms and ammuni-
tion, and all the Br_itish have goneo'ut—-report
says 800. _ ‘L t 4 _
“ It appears that the Independents have made
a fine campaign, by taking San‘ Fernando, and
driving the Spaniat-ds out of Llauos. The ad-
vantage of the former can only be appreciatc.-d by
an acquaintance with the geography of the coun-
try.. It secures the inlandnavigation from Au-
gustura to a short distance of Santa _F‘ec,, as well
as the security of the rich province ‘of; Barinas,
and consolidates the conquest of Cttayana with
the protection of the Llanos. . .‘
Gen. Bolivar has, besides, achieved a more dif-
ficult cntcrpriie—be_has restored perfect union
among all the Independent leutlcrs, and obedi-
ence to the government; so that ithhas (at least)
assumed thetorder and secuiity of a government:
“ de faggto-" ‘ ”
the Island of -Old Prorielexice, which be has for-
tified and garrisoned with ‘bout 350 troops, and
has notified the inhabitants ‘if his intention to oc-
cupy the neighboripg one of Santa Catalina, in
behalf of thelndependept government. He has
five armed vessels underhis command, and prob-
ably designs tlaese places as depots for his pri-
zcs. _ . «
