AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE. OUR RELATIONS Wrrui SPAIN. DOCUMENTS TRANSMITTED TO CONGRESS. THE SECRETARY OD STATE OF THE UNITED STATES TO TH MINISTER PLENIPOTENTIARY OF THE UNITED STATES TO SPAIN, AT MADRID, (N 0.7.) (Concluded from Sesterday's Paper.) Let us come to the case of Ambrister. He was taken in arms, leading and commanding the Indians in the war against the American troops ; and to that charge, upon his trial, pleading guilty. But the pi imary object of his coming tht4e was still more hostile to Spain than to the United - States. !.VIII.] You find that he told three of the witnesses who tes tiled at his trial, that he had come to this country upon Mr. Woodbine's business at Tampa Bay, to see the Negroes right ed ; and one of them, that he had a commission in the Pa trio 'Piny under AP Gregor, and that he had expected a Captaincy. And what was the intended business of M'Gre gor and IVoodbine at Tampa Bay ? - It was the conquest of Florida from Spain, by the use of those very Indians and Ne groes whom the Commandant of St. Mark's was so ready to aid and support in war against the United States. The chain of proof that establishes this fact is contained in the docu ments communicated by the President to Congress at their last session, relating to the occupation of Amelia island by M'Gregor. FroM these • documents you will find, that LVI.] while M'Gregor was there, IVoodbine went from New Providence, in a schooner of his own, to join him ; that he arrired at Amelia island just as M'Gregor, abandoning the companions of his achievement there, was leaving it;' that M'Gregor, quitting the vessel in which lie bad embarked at Amelia, went on board that of Woodbine, and returned with . him to New Providence ; that Woodbine had persuaded him they could yet accomplish the conquest of Florida, with sol diers to be recruited at Nassau, from the corps of Colonial Marines, which had served under Nicholls during the late war with the United States, which corps had been lately dis banded; and with Negroes to be found at Tampa Bay, and 1,500 Indians, already then engaged to Woodbine, who pre tended that they had made a grant of all their lands there to him. Among the papers, the original of which are in our LVII. a. b.] possession, in M'Gregor's own band-writing, are instructions forsailing into Tampa Bay,with the assertion that he calculated to be there by the last of April or first of May, d ] of the present year ; a letter, dated 27th December last, • to one of his acquaintance in this country, disclosing the same e ] intention; and the extract of a proclamation which was to have been issued at Tampa Bay, to the inhabitants of Florida, by the person charged with making the settlement there, before his arrival, announcing his approach, for the purpose of liberating them from the despotism of Spain, and of enabling theta to form a Government for themselves. He bud persuaded those who would listen to him here, that his ultimate object was to sell the Floridas to the United States. . There is some reason to suppose that be had made indirect overtures, of a similar nature, to the British Government. This was Ambrister's business in Florida. He arrived there ILEX.] in March, the precursor of M'Gregor and Wood bine ; and immediately upon his arrival, he is found seizing upon Arbuthnoes goods, and distributing them among the Negroes and Indians ; seizing upon his vessel, and compelling its . waster to pilot him. with a body of armed Negroes, to wards the fort of St. Mark's, with the declared purpose of taking it by surprise, in the night. ; writing letters to Go vernor Cameron, of New Providence, urgently calling for suppliel of munitions of war, and of caution, for the war against the Americans; and letters to Colonel Nicholls, re newing the same demands of supplies; informing him that he is with 300 Negroes, 'A few of our Bluff people,' who had stuck to the 'cause ' and were relying upon the faith of Ni cholls's promises. Our Bluff people were the people of the Negro fort, collected by Nicholls's and Woodbine's prochi- Matioris; during the - American and F.oglisli sat ; and the • cruise to which they stuck, was the savage, servile, externii •• stating war against the United States. Among the agents and ;Actors of such virtuous enterprises as are here unveiled, it was hardly expected that there would be found reoiarkable evidences of their respect, confidence, • and good faith towards one another. Accordingly, besides the violent seizure and distribution, by Ambrister, of Arbuth not's property', his letttrs to Governor Cameron, and to Ni -chollS, are filled with the distrust anti suspicions of the In •• •dians, that they acre deceived and betrayed by Arbuthnot; while in Arhutioroes letters to the same Nicholls, lie accuses XLIX. Woridbiue of having taken charge of poor Francis - the priipbet,•or Hid/is•Hadjo, upon -his return from England • to New Providence; and under pretence of taking care . of him and . his affairs- 7 a having defrauded him of a large portion of the presents which had been delivered out from the King's XLVIL a.l Stares to 'hiM, for Francis's use.-- , This is one of the passages of Arbuthnot's Letter to Nicholls, (war ted in the publication of it last August in the London Newepa pers. Is this narrative of dark and complicated depravity.; this creeping and insidious .war„, both against Spain and the United States; •this 'mockery Of patriotism; these political plilters to fugitive slaves and Indian outlaws ; these perfidies and treacheries of! viltaius incapable of keeping. their faith even to each other, all in the name of South-American olthe'rights of runaway Negroes,-and the wrongs of savage murderers—all combined and ;projected to plunder Spain of her provinces, 'arid to spread' massacre and devasta tion along the borders of the l'nited States;—is all ; 11- t.-i suf ficient to cool the sympathies of his Catholic Majesty's tio verrituent, exCited by the execution of these two " subjects of a power in amity with the King 1" The Spanish Govern ment not at this day to be informed, that cruel as war in its anildest forms must be', .it is, stud .necessarily twist he, doubly mite], when waged With savages; that savages make •no prisoners; but teetorture them ;-that they give _nu quar ter ; that they put to death, without discrimination of age or's'ex; that these ordinary tharacteristicsof Indian warfare have been applicable, in their must heart-sickening horrors, to that war, left tis by NichollS, as his legacy, reitntigated I,y Woodbine, Arbuthnot, and Ambrister, and stimulated by the approbation, enCouragelnent, and' Itid of the Spanish Com- , macdant at St. Mark's. Is proof required ? f_;utreat the Spanish Minister of- State, for a moment, to o e e ie o ' o ,, e th e feelings which details like theSe must excite, ausl to reflect, if possible, with composure, upon the facts statist in the fol lowing extracts from the documents .enclosed Letter frost Sailing-master Jairus Loorhis . to ComModiire Daniel T. Patterson, lath August, ial 6, reporting the de- Xst ruction of the Negro Fort. " On examining the prisoners, they stated that Edward Da niels, 0.

Peter B. Cook (Arkmthnot's cleikj to Eliz. A. Carney, at Nassau, dated Suwahnee, 19th lanuxry, 1818; giving an =mint of their operations with the Indians against the Anierieans,'and their massacre of Lieutenant Scott and his party. " There was a boat that was tatren by the (ndians, that had 'in 10 . men. 7 Woinen, 4 stnall children. There were 6of the .. .. , men got clear,. and .1 woman saved, and all the rest of them got killed. The children were took by the leg, and their brains dashed out against the boat." • , • If the bare - recital of scenes like these cannot be perused without'sbuddering, what must -he the agonized feelings of those.whose wives and children arc, from day to day, and fr►un night to night, exposed to be the victims of the same barbarity ? Has ►mercy It voice to plead fur the perpetrators at►d instigators of Ards libe these ? Should in►luiry hereafter be n►nd►, 'why, within three months after.this event, the •savage Haniathli Micco, upon being taken by the AMerican troops; was: Iry i'irder'of their Commander, in►mical ttely bong, Let it . Le xi.4J that that savage was the Commander of the party by which thole women were butchered, and those help less infants were thus dashed against the boat. Contending with such enemies, although humanity revolts at entire reta liation upon:them, and spares the lives of their feeble and defenceless women and children, yet mercy herself surrenders to retribittive justice the lives of their leading warriors taken in arnis—and still more the lives of the foreign white incen diaries, who, ditewned •bys'their -own Governments, and dis owning their own natures,. degrade themselves beneath the savage character, by voluntarily descending to its level. Is not this the dictate of common sense ?' Is it not the usage of legitimate warfare ? it not Consonant to the soundest au thorities of national law ? " When at war (says Vattel) with a ferocious nation, which observes no rules and grants no quarter, they may be chastised in the persons of those.of them who may he taken ; they are of the number of the guilty ; and by this rigour the attempt may be made of bring ing them to a sense of the laws of humanity." And again : " As a General has the right of sacrificing the lives of his enemies to his own safety or that of his people, if he has to contend with an itifitiman enemy, often guilty of such ex cesses, he may take the lives of some of his prisoners, and treat them as his own people have been treated." Thejusti fication of these principles is found in their salutary efficacy, for terror and for example. It is thus only that the barbari ties of Indians can be sinccessfully encountered. It is thus only that the worse than Indian barbarities of European im postots, pretending authority from their Governments, but always disavowed, can be punished and arrested. Great Britain yet engages the alliance and eu:Stperation of savages in war. But her Government has invariably disclaimed all eounstenance or authorization to her subjects to insti t ts,ate them against us in time of peace. Yet so it has happened, that. frosts the peririd of our established' independence to this day, all the Indian wars with which we hate been afflicted have been distinctly traceable to the instigation of English Traders or Agents, always disa vo w e d, net a l wa y s f e lt, more than once detected, I:nut - Hever before punished. Two of them, offenders of the deepest dye, after solemn warning to their Govern ment, and. individually to one of them, have fallen, flassa'ante &diet°, into the hands of an Arnerican General; and the pu nishment inflicted upon them has fixed them on high as an example, awful in its exhibition, but, we trust, auspicious in its results, of that which awaits unauthorized pretenders of European agency, to stimulate and interpose in wars be tween the United States and the Indians within their control. This exposition of the origin, the causes, and the character of the War With the Seminole Indians and part of the Creeks, conilsincd with M`Gregor's mockliatriots and Nicholls's Ne groes, which necessarily led our troops into Florida, and gave rise to all those incidents of which Mr. Pizarro so vehemently complains, will, it is hoped, enable you to present other and sounder views of the subject to his Catholic Majesty's Go• vrrninent. It will enable you to show that the occupation of Pen;aeola and St. Mark's was occasioned neither by a spirit of hostility to Spain, nor with a view to extort, prematurely, the province front her possession; that it was rendered necessary by the neglect' of Spain to per form her engagements of restraining the Indians from hostilities against the United States, and by the culpable countenance, eneouragosent,' and assistance given to those Indians, in their hostilitiet,' by the Spanish Governor and Commandant at those places : that the •United States have a right to demand, as the President does demand, of Spain, the puttisinnerit Of those Officers for their misconduct; and he norther demands 'of Spain a just and reasonable in demnity to the United States for the heavy and necessary expeuces which they have been compelled to incur, by the failure of Spain to perfortni her engagement, to restrain the Indians, aggravated by this demonstrated complicity of her commanding officers with them, in their hostilities against the United States: that the two Englishmen executed by order of General Jackson were mit only identified with the savages with whom they were carrying on the war against the United Statet, but that one of them was the mover and fomenter of the war, which, without his interference•and false promises to the Indians of support from the British Go vernment, never would have happened—that the other was the instrument of war against Spain as welt as the United States, commissioned by M`Gregor, and expedited by Wood bine., upon their project of conquering Florida with these Indians and Negroes: 'that, as accomplices of the savages, and, sinning agaitist their better knowledge, worse than sa vages, Generahlackson, possessed of their persons and of the proofs of theirguilf, 'might, by the lawful arid ordinary usages of war, hate' hung theM both.without the formality of a trial; that to allow then, every possible opportunity of re fitting the proofs or of showing any circumstance in extenua tion of their crime's, he gave them the benefit of a trial by a court-martial of highly respectable officers : that the defence of one consisted solely and exclusively of technical cavils at the nature of part of the evidence against him, and the other confessed his guilt. Finally, that in restoring Pensacola and St. Mark's to Spain, the President gives the most signal proof of his confidence, that hereafter her engag ement to restrain, by force, the Indians - Of Florida fronts all hostilities against the United States, will be effectually fulfilled; that there Will be no more murders, no more robberies within our bor ders, by savages prowling along the 'Spanish line, and seek- Mg shelter within it, to display its the villages the scalps of our women and children, their victims, and to sell, with shameless effrontery, the'Plunder from our citizens in Spas nish forts and cities ; that we shall hear no more apologies from Spanish Governors and' Commandants, of their inabi lity to perform the duties of their office and the solemn con tracts of their country; no more-excuses for compliances to the savage enemies of the United States, from the dread of their attacks upon themselves; uo more harbouring of fos reign impostors, upon compulsion; that a strength' sufficient will be kept in the province to restrain the , Indians by force, and officers empowered and instructed to employ it effectually to maintain the good faith of the nations by the effective fill, fitment of the Treaty. The duty of this Government to pro tect the persons and property of our fellow-citizens tan the borders of the United States is imperative—it must be dis charged : and if, after all the warnings that Spain has had— if, after the prostration of all her territorial 'rights and neu tral obligations,' by'Nichoils and inis• - banditti during sitar, and of ail Inerareatystipulations, by Arbuthnot and Anibris= ter, abetted by het. own Commanding Officers, - Attring peace, to the cruel anintiyance of the United States—if the neeessis ties of self-slefenee should again compel the United Slates to take possession of the Spanisli'forts and places in Florida; declare, with the candour and- frankness 'that becomes us, that another uncooditional restoration of them must not be expected; that even the President's confidence in the good faith and ultimate justice of the Spanish Government yield to the painful expeilenee of continual disappoitstment ; and that, after unwearied and almost it tintimbered appeals to them,' for the per flirt/sauce of their stipulated duties, in vain, the United States will he reluctantly compelled to rely, for thkprotectimi of their holders, upon themselves alone. You are authorized to communicate the whole of this let ter, awl the aocompanying documents, to the Spanish Go vernment. i have the honour, &c. JOHN QUINCY ADAMS. COMMON COUNCIL. A Court -of Common •Council was yesterday, held by the Loan MAYOR at Guildhall, on public business, which was numerously attended. Mr. S. DixoN made someobsercations respect, ing the Petition to Parliament for a revision of the Criminal Code ; and also . respecting the late committal to Newgate, troll.' the Middlesex Ses sions, of the sixteen wretches who were taken nil for an abominAble crime, whereby a great charge. was impos'ed upon the City—upon which the Loan MAYOR informed the Court of the proceed• . inks which had been taken by . the Gaol Commit tee of Aldermen therein. The Mercers' Company presented a Petition for the sale of property for the proposed extension of St. Paul's Schoo4: which was referred for consi deration. The Court agreed to present a Petitino to Par liament for the repeal, and against the exten sion of the Act for the relief of Insolvent Deb tors in Ecgland ; and the Sheriffs, attended by the Retnembrancer, were directed to present the same. The Court also agreed to present a Petition to Parlia►t►ent to prevent the inconveniences which arise to the public and the fair trader, by the practice of Mock Auctions. Mr. Dtxos brought forward the Report of the Special Committee appointed to inquire into the nature, dutiei, and emoluments of the office of Sword Bearer, which was read, and, after some debate, the consideration was adjourned, and the Report was ordered to ha printed. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, JMJ. 28. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. COOK V. FOULKES AND ANOTHER, AND THE DRURY LANE THEATRE COMPANY. On a former day the SOLI6iTOR-GENERAL . had applied to the Court for an injunction to restrain .the defendant, Foulkes, from issuing under execu tion a judgment of 7001. for gOods delivered fOr the use of the Theatre. Counsel . was then fully heard on the part of the plaintiff. Mr. 'WINGFIELD now appeared on the part of the defendant Foulkes, and contended', that he had a priority in the payments of his debts, be cause he had furnished the Theatre with those ne cessaries without which no performance could have taken place. The LORD CH ANCgLLOR asked whether Mr. Foulkes had supplied hi's candles to the Theatre upon a written contract ? Mr. WINGFIELD believed that no written con tract had been entered into. The Drury-lane Company had adMitted that it had contracted this debt for what had been supplied to the Theatre. The Solicitor on the part of the defendant in the cause Said, that the gOods had been furnished in consequence of written notes frotn Mr. Banks, the Sub -treasurer, and the Sub-committee. 'Mr. WINGFIEILD.ThiS Committee was autho rised to contract these debts for the Theatre. The LORD CHANCELLOR.—Ifany of the tradesmen who furnished the Theatre with goods are standing by,l will candidly tell them, that theyaregreat fools if they make such contracts any more, and supply goods without a better security. With respect to the present defendant, he has obtained a judg ment in his favour. Mr. WicriP.l.n continued.—The co`. — 'action which the plaintiff put upon the Act of-Parlia ment under which the Theatre was last built; was a most ,curious one, and according to it, the in !,tant the goods were placed in the hands of the Theatre, they' could not he touched, and those who supplied them were . to go unpaid, and be contented, ,f-Ie was persuaded that his Lordship would look very closely to the Act before he would draw such a conclusion. It never would, he was convinced, be decided by his Lordship, that these individuals, who had in fact enabled the Theatre to continence its public representations, should be postponed to any simple contract debtors. It was quite preposterous to say that ibe 'rent, taxes, Stc. should be paid before the defendant, who had ac tually furnished the candles for the Theatre, with out which nothing could have been done. If this were allowed, then the tradesinen who had sup plied the necessaries could be considered only in the light of speculators. The LORD CHANCELLOR.—If tradesmen will wilfully run itvo (fifficulties' of this kind, it is their own fault. If one creditor was allowed to go 'to the Theatre and to take one thing, and another another, it would become a complete " Comedy of EirOrs.'• a p. comedy —oot risa d ee f si o lint r i er t ne h l. e y Thee tre,Ar.,liial.nl,LVl O a ' tragedy l : G p it the l 4 D l c o ß r l L t Lo i s CHANCELLOR their own fault if theY act as tragedians. If be w as rascal enough tO Order a quantity of goods, knowing that he should not be able to pay for them,, and the ,tradesmen were fools enough to furnish" them, they Must 'suffer for their folly. Nothing was tO be done; It would be a rascally act, but still there was no remedy. When trades men dealt with a Corporation, God must help them, for he couldnot. " it is extremely difficult for me to take Care of men when they will ncit take care of themselves by using a proper caution. Last.year a case came before me where a Thea ' tie could not pay the salaries of the performers. If a'Wbman dhooses i tn Sing where there iS no Chance _of being paid for' it, she is a foul for so doing, that is • , Mr, W I PIGFIELD argued, tnat unless it could be sliOWn'that in ConiniOn j ustice the plaintiff ought to be paid before Mr. Foulkes, and unless it ap peared that,there bad existed some unfair dealings between the Parties, there was not a pretence for pniipOnink.the defendant's claim. Sir - ARTHUR Plaucert observed, that Mr. Foulkes had been paid ready money for the goods which he had latgly, furnished to the Theatre ; this 7001. 'was an Old debt. Mr. WINGFIELD submitted, that unless a case Of - colhiSion between. 'the defendant and the The atre could be Made out; the plaintiff was not en titled !O file such a bill as had been put in. With respect to the sum itself, it was very small ; and he could not understand how this great national establishment could possibly be ruined by the payment,of 7001. Mr. BARER followed on the same side. It appeared that his Lordship was applied to by nearly all the Theatres in London, to settle their disputes. The affairs'of the Opera House, and of prury•Jane Theatre, had already been under dis cussion ; and he believed that another great The atre would, beforelong, also apply to his Lord ship for advice. The LORD CHANCELLOR asked what Theatre that _was, Mr. BARBER, as we understood, replied that he was not now at liberty to disclose it. The LORD CHANCELLOR.—Let me at least have but one at once. Mr. BARBER said, that the case of the defend ants,bad been compared to a comedy of errors. He rather thought it would appear to he more similar to a - hornet's nest. He went over the various arguments which Mr. Wingfield had before touched upon, and concluded with observing, that he did not see the least equitable claim which the plaintiff could have in this case. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL shortly replied. The defendants, he said, had entered into an engage- ment with the . Drury-lane Company, with the Act . - of Parliament staring them in . the face; and if they had not used due diligence, they had only to thank their own negligence for it. Sir AUTHUR PIGGOTT explained on the part of the Theatre, that the Company was willing and prepared to pay to the creditors 105. in the pound. The amount of the whole debt was 34,000/., and lie Company was ready to pay 17,0001. The de rendant would also be allowed the -whole of his costs, because those expences were incurred be for; any offer was made of this' nature, Me . n to wished the d e f en d an t t o g i ve due cnugiderntro to this offer.
