In regard ha the Visited Slater, the pertnei .us effects of this unlawful combination w. 16 tint confined to the ocean: the Indian tribes have constituted the effective force to Flo rida. With these tribes these adventurers had formed, at an early period, a connexion, with a view to avail themselves of that force its IWOMolie their own projrcia of accunielation and aggrandisement. It sr to the interfe refire of same of there adventurers, in misrepresenting the claims and titles of the lodises to laud, and its pre, tieing oat their savage propensities, that the Sraninole war is principally to be traced, tilrn who thus con tied themselves with ravage commiiiiiiies, anal stimulate them to war, which is always attended on their part with acts of heroes-0y the most shocking, deserve to be viewed in a worre light than the savazes. They would certainly have no claim loan immunity from the penishments which, according to the roles of warfare practiwal by the savages, might justly be iuflictril on the savages themselves If the embarrassments of Spain preeente.l her from tusk ing an indemnity to our citizens, for sn long a time, front her t l y, for their losses by spoliation, and otherwise, it was always to err power to bate provided it, by thecersion of this territory. Of this, her GO 111111111 l had been repeat edly apprired ; and the cession was the more to be antici porsl, as Spate insist have haunt Is that, in ceding it, she would in effect cede what had become of little value to her, sisal would likewi+e relieve beech from the important oh. ligation secuied by the Tseatyuf 17115, and all other compro. ointments respecting it. If the United Stater, fi emit& deratioo of these emh. .iniciits, declined prysing their claims in a spirit of hostility, ihe 'molt e ought at least to have twin duly •ppi cc-laird by the Govrionitut of Steno. It is well known to her Goeyinnent that other Powers have made to the Vaned Stales an indemnity fur like leases, sus. mined by their citizens at the tame e poch. There is, nevertheless, a 111114 twyIIIIII which thi• spirit of amity and forbearance eau iii tio ii.stalice be justified.

Assn the document,. relating to this oceurreiire will be laid before Congress, it is out necessary to titter into further detail respecting It. Althungh the reasons which induced Major-General Jack son to take these posts were doily appreciated, these was, no rel heirs., no hesitation iu decidi ng MI the course which it became the Government to pursue. As there was reason to hehteva that the commanders of these posts had violated their instructions, there was um diSpOliillllll to 11111/11IC to their (o vernment a conduct so unprovoked sod hostile. An order was us CSIIIKIIIICIICe ironed to the General in rommand there, to deliver the posts—Pensacola, uncouilitirmally„ Soso) per. snot authorized to receive ; and Si. Marks, which es in the heart of the Indian country, on the arrival of a competent force to defend it against UMW crenate and their associates In entering Florida to suppress !tile combination, no idea was entertained of hostility to Spain, and however justiliable the commanding Gene, al was, 111 consequence of the miseuti. duct o f the Spanish Officers, in entering St. Marks and Pensa. cola, to terminate It, by proving to the savages sod their associates that they should not be protected even there, yet the amitalde relations existing between the United States and Spain could not he alined by that act akar. Ry ordering the restitution of the posts, those eclat 1111 l s were preserved. To a change of them, the power 'bribe Executive is deemed locum to tent. it is vested in Cuogress only. Ry this measure, so promptly taken, due respect was shewn to the Government of Spain. The misconduct of her Officers has not been puffed to her. She was enabled to review with candour her relations with the United States, and her own situation, par ticularly in respect to the territory ill question, with the dangers inseparable from it; and .rrgarding the Tsars we have siostsined, for which indeonnitc has heen so, long with held, and the injuries we have suffered thorough that terri tory, and her means of redress, she was likewise enabled to take, with honour, the rouese hest cab-filmed to do justice to the United Sinks, and to promote her UWII welfare. Copies of the instructions to the Commanding General; of his correspondeuct with the See. elary of War, captioning his motives and justifying his rinsibiet, with a copy tit the pm 'eeedtillra of the Courts.lfartisl, in the trial of Arbuthnot and Ambristie, and of the correspondence between the Se cretary of State and the Minister Plenipotentiary of Spain soar this Governmeut ; and of the Minister Plenipotentiary o f th e noted State. at 'Madrid, with the Guverumeart of Spain, will be laid before Congrrss. The civil war, which WS so lung prerailed between Spain and the Provinces of South America, still continues without any prospect of its speedy termination. 'rite information re specting the condition of those countries, which has been collected by the Commissioners, recently returned from thence, will be laid before Congress, in copies of their Re ports, with such other information as has been received from other agents of the United States. It appears from these communication% that the Govern ment of Buenos Ayres deckled itself iiidepentlent in July, 1816, having previously exercised the plower of au indepen. dent Government, though in the name of the King of Spain, (non the year 18111: that the Itamla Or.eiital, Entre Reos, and Paraguay, with the city of Sauk Fe, all of which are also independent, are unconnected with the present Govern meat of Buenos Ayree. that Chili has declared itself inde pendent, and is closely connected with Buetios Ayres: that Venezuela has also declared itself independent, and nun Inimitable the conflict with various success; sod that the grumbling parts of South America, except Monte Video, and such other portions of the eastern bank of the La Plata as are held by Portugal, err still iu the possession of Slant, or in a certain degree under lire iuflueoce. By a circular note addressed by the Ministers of Spain to the Allied Powers with whom they tire respectively ac credited, it appears that the Attire hare midertakeu to mediate between Spain and the South American Provinces, and that the manner and extent of their interposition would be settled by a Congress, which was ha have met at Aix.le- Chapelle io September last. From the general policy and course of proceeding I .h.t.rved by the Allied Powers in regard to this contest, it is inferred that they will confiiie their inter position t• the expression of Or ir sentiments; abstaining from the application of force. 1 state this impression, that force will not be applied, wills the greater satisfaction, because it is a course more consistent with justice, and like wise authorises s hope that the calamities of war will be con- ' tined to the parties only, and will be of shorter duration. From the view taken of this subject, founded on all the I information that we have been stile to ohlion, there is gaud cause to be satisfied with liar rotirce heretufore pursued by thr United States in regard to tools contest, and to rum. elude that it is proper to truth,.,• to it, especially iii toe st•ite of affairs. I have crent satisfaction in ding, that our relations with France, Russia, and other Powers, continue on the must friendly bask. la our domestic ((metros we have ample cause of stair faction.

It is ascertained that the gross I'VVelllle which has accrued . from the customs during the Paine period, amounts to 21,000,000 of dollars, sod that the revenue of the whole year may be emtionsted at not 1.-in than 2d.000,000.
