It cannot be concealed, thaiher MAJESTY is in a most alarming state, from the progressive nature of the malady, and that we roust prepare ourselves with resignation for the approaching event. The report from Kew this morning is, that " her Marrsrr is' much the same as yesterda7."—His Rdyal the Duke of YORK left Toss'n early this morning for Oatlands, taking the route for Kew Pal ice, to know tht.real state of the health of our beloved Quaky. The official account of the seiLbre of Pensacola, and declaration of the grounds on which this extraor dinary step has been taken by the United States, have at length been put into our possession, by the arrival of New York and Baltimore Papers to the Bth of July. The Port of Barancas, en which the possession of the rest of the territory depended, was given up to General Iscxsott, under a regular capitulation, which provides for the transportation to the Ha vannah of the garrison, and such of the inhabitants as may chuse to follow its fortunes. It does not appear that there was any fighting on the occasion, as originally reported. The Spaniards, sensible of the inefficacy of a contest with the supe rior strength of their invaders, surrendered without firing a gun. The terms of Capitulation, and the telative Decla ration of General JACKSON, are both subjoined. The occupation of the territory is said to be only provisional, " until Spain can furnish military strength sufficient to enforce existing treaties;" and the breach of treaty which is alleged in justification of this oc capation is, that the Seminole Indians, who inhabit part of the Floridas lying along• the rivers Apalachi cola and Flint, have, "for more than trio years Fast,' visited the frontiers of the United States with a system of most savage massacre; and that the Spanish Go vernment has not taken, as it is implied it ought to have done, the measures necessary for the suppression of these marauders. If the fact be as General JACKSON affirms, and that le is right in his assumption that it was the bounden dut of the Spanish Government to prevent these in. torsions of the Seminole Indians into the territory of ' the Union, the question of justification may perhaps I be fairly conceded to the American Government; but the fact rests as yet merely on the assertion of General JACKSON, and without any light from other facts, which it may not impossibly be in the power of .the Spairish Government, or of the Seminoles themselves, to urge in their behalf. We should like to he assured, for instance, that the Seminoles have not been purposely provoked and goaded, by the U:dted States, into there aggressions which are now complained of—that, in short, the Americans have been on their part, so perfectly void of offence in the matter, that they could do nothing less, in justice to themselves, than take the step they have now done, —Our Readers will not be surprised at our throwing out such a wish, when we direct their attention to one or two facts which are still very fresh in our re collection Genera! JACKSON states, that. it is be cause fur more than two years past" the Semi noles have been in the practice of making these bar barous incursio:L., that the United States have now taken possession of the territory of Pensacola.— But what will bc sail if it should appear that long before that period—long before any such incursions were heard of—more than seven years ago, the Go vernment of the United States had contemplated and resolved on making that very same seizure which they now pretend has Leen forced upon them by sub sequent event.? The fact, however, is even so. It' has been brought home - .o the American Government in a manner •la hieh paces it beyond all doubt.—' Among several important disclosures which were made during last Session of Congress, in the dis:us skins which took place respecting Spanish relations,, it was officially avowed that as far back as the year 1411, a series of Legislative Acts were secretly passed iis Congress, authorising the Presifient, under certain contingencies, to take possession of the Florida: and other territories to the South ofGeorgia, which contin gencies were either any attempt on the part of 3 fo. reign Government to occupy them, on any arrange ment with the people of these territories to transfer themselves to the dominion of the United States. The . case then stands thus--more than seven years ago the United States set their eyes on the Floridas, and resolved to occupy them in the event of certain con tingencies occurring. ?either of these contingencies have taken place—no Government has attempted to occupy the Floridas, tilt people have made nu offer of their allegiance to the ['tilted States—and the ques tion to which the United States are therefore invited to give a satisfactory answer is this—Whether, seeing - thatt ablit:ngettries to whicl t oey Sevtm res ago trusted (of obtaining possession of the Floridas have Eine' thtan, thy did not designedly and treacher ously bring about these aggressions on the part of the Indians, with the intention of making them, as they now do, the pretext for a seizure which was long b:f ore the fixed but secret determination of their counsels ? In confirm ttion of the view which we are inclined by so many circumstances to take of this transaction, we have yet one question more to put, which we think may almost of itself be sufficient to determine the question as to the real designs of the American Government. If the suppression of the Seminole Indians is the : - object of this aggression, why have the Americans not seized on the territory of the Seminoles them selves, instead of seizing on that of their merely no• minal superiors, the Spanish Government? • The sensation wh;igt the news of this mitt has caused at the Havannah, is naturally very great. The cartels, with the garrison of Pensacola, arrived there on the 27th of June, as appears from the fol lowing notice: " Office of the Biltht►ore Pdtriot, 6th July, Ow, P.M. a The schooner Colonel George Armstead, GATE CHAIR, arrived here from Havannah in nine days. The day she sailed, two cartels arrived there from Pensacola, with Spanish troops and the Governor of that place. It was expected that American vessels would be detained, as a stop was put to loading them—as might be expected, this affair created con siderable sensation." Fort St. Augustine is expected to follow the fate of Pensacola; bat preparations appear to be making for a serious resistance. " CHARLESTON, JUNES& " FRO'S( Sr. AUOI:I3TINE.—We learn by Captain Ames, who arrived this morning in two days from St. Augustine, that great preparations in mounting cannon. &c. were making at that place, in conse quence of an expectei attrck from the American army under General Jackson. He further states, that when he left St. Augustine, it was reported that the American army was rapidly advancing towards that place."
