AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE. The following important Document has beet► received from a Commercia s i House at Liverpool : OUR RELATIONS WITH SPAIN. DOCUMENTS TRANSMITTED TO CONGRESS. THE SECRETARY bP STATE OF THE UNITED STATES TO THR MINISTER PLENIPOTENTIARY 01? THR UNITED STATES TO SPAIN, AT MADRID, (No.7j Department of state, Washington, Nor. 28, ISIS. Sae,--Your Dispatches, to No. 92 inclusive, with their en-. Ow:lnes, have been received'at this Department. Among these enclosures are the several notes addressed to, yoli by Mr. Pizarro, in relation to the transactions during the cam paign of General Jackson against the Seminole Indians, and the handiUi of Negroes combined with them, and particu larly to his proceedings in Florida, without the boundaries of the. United States. In the fourth and last of those notes of Mr. Pizarro he has given formal notice, that the King, his master, has issued orders for the suspension of the negociation, between the United States and Spain, until satisfaction shall have been Made by the American Government to hien for these pro ceedings of General Jackson, which he considers as acts of unequivocal hostility against him, and as outrages upon his honour and dignity; the only acceptable atonement for which is stated to consist in a disavowal of the acts of the American General thus complained of, the infliction upon him of a suitable punishment for his supposed misconduct, and the restitution of the posts and territories taken by him from the Spanish authorities, with indemnity for all the pro perty taken, and all damages and injuries, public or private, sustained in consequence of it. Within a very few days after this notification Mr. Pizarro must have received, with copies of the Correspondence be tween Mr. Onis and this Department, the determination which / had been taken by the President to restore 'the place of Pensacola, with the fort of Barrantas, to any person pro perly authorized on the part of Spain to receive them; and the Fort of St. Mark's to any Spanish force adequate to its protection against the Indians, by whom its forcible occupa tion bad been threatened, for purposes of hostility against tile United States. The officer comniamUng at the post hiss been directed to consider 250 men as such adequate force; and in case of their appearance, with proper authority, to deliver it up to their Commander accordingly. :Front the last-mentioned Correspondence, the Spanish:Go vernment must lik e wise have been satisfied that the occupa-. tion of these places in Spanish Florida, by the Commander of the American Fcerces,was not by virtue of any order received by him from this Government to that effect, nor with any view of wresting the province from the possession of Spain, nor in any spirit of hostility to the Spanish Government; that jt arose from incidents which occurred in the prosecution of the war against the Indians—from the imminent danger in which the Fort of St. Mark's was of being seized by the In dians themselves, and from.the manifestations of hostility to the United States by the Commandant of St. Mark's and the Governor of Pensacola, the proofs of which were made known to General Jackson, and impelled him, from the necessities of self-defence, to the steps of which the Spanish Government cum p la ins. It might be sufficient to leave the - rindication of these mea sures upon those grounds, and to furnish, in the enclosed co pies of General Jackson's letters, and the vouchers by which they are supported, the evidence of that hostile spirit on the part of the Spanish Commanders, , but for the terms in which Mr. Pizarro speaks of the execution of two British subjects, taken, one at the Fort of St. Mark's, and the other at Su- want', and the intimation that these transactions may lead to a change in the relations between the two nations, which is'douhtless intended to be understood as a menace of a war. It may be, therefore, proper to rersind the Government of his Catholic Majesty of the incidents in whici this Se:nittole war originated, as well as of the eireamstaeces connected with it, in the relations between Spain and her ally, whom she supposes to have been injured by the proceedings of Ge neral Jackson, and to gi , :e to the Spanish Cabinet some pre cise information of the nature of the business, peculiarly interesting to Spain, in which these subjects of her allies, in whose favour she takes this interest, were engaged, when their projects of every kind were terminated, in consequence of their falling into the bands of General Jackson. 'ln the mouth of August, 1 8 i4,while a war existed between the United States and Great Britain, to which Spain had formerly declared herself neutral, a British force, not in the fresh pursuit of a defeated and flying enemy—not overstep ping an imaginry and equivocal boundary between their• own territories and those belonging, in some sort, as much to their enemy as to Spain, but approaching by sea, and by a broad and open invasion of the Spanish province, at a thousand miles, or an ocean's distance from any British territory, landed in Florida,. took possession of Pensacola and the Fort. of Barrancas, and invited; by public proclamations, all the runaway Negroes—all the savage Indians—all the pirates, and all the traitors to their country, whom they knew or imagined to exist within reach of their summons, to join their standard, and wage an exterminating war against the portion of the United States immediately bordering upon this neutral and thus violated territory of Spain.. The Land Commander of this British force was a certain Col. Nicholls, who, driven from Pensacola by the approach of General Jackson, actually left, to be blown up, the Spanish Fort of Barrancas, when he found it could not afford him protection, and, evacuating that part of the province, landed at another, established himself on the Appalachicola river, and there erected a fort, from which to sally forth, with his motley tribe of black, white, and red combatants, against the de fenceless borders of the United States in that vicinity. A part of this force consisted of a corps of colonial marines, levied in the British colonies, in which George Woodbine ~wis a Captain, and Robert Chrystie 11-21 Awbrister was A Lieutenant. As between the United States and Great Britain, we LX.] should he willing tobury this transactions in the same grave of oblivion with other transactions of that war,bad the hostilities of CoY.- Nicholls tern►iaated with the war. -But he did not consider the peace which ensued between the United States and Groat Britain as having pnt an end either to his military occupations or to his negociations with the Indians, against the United States. Several month. after the ratifica tion of the Treaty of Ghent, he retained his post and !list p.ory•coloured forces in military array. 11-2.) By the 9th Article of the Treaty, the Vnited States ,tipolated in pot an end, immediately after its ratifica tion, to hostilities with all the Tribes or Nations of Indians Stith Wool!' they might be at war at the time of the rat ifica and to restore to them all the possessions which they enjoyctiin the year 1811. This article had no appiica. tion to the Creek Nation, with whom the United States bad already node peace; by a Treaty concluded on the 9th day of August, 1514, more than four months before the Treaty of Ghent was signed. Yet Colonel Nicholls . not only affected to consider it as applying to the Seminoles of Florida, and the outlawed Red Sticks, whom he had induced to join him there, hut actually persuaded them that Meg were entitled by virtue of the Treaty of Ghent to all the lands which had be longed to the Creek Nation, within the United States, in the year 181 r, and that the Government of Great Britain would support them in that pretensi*n. He asserted also this doctrine in correspondence with Colonel Haw kins, then the Agent of the United States with the Creeks, and gave him notice, in their name, with a moc kery of solemnity, that they had concluded a Treaty of Al liance, offensive and defensive, and a Treaty of Navigation and IX,] Commerce with Great Britain, of which more was to he heard after it should be ratifisd in England. Col. Nicholls, then evacuated his fort, which, in some of the enclosed pa pers, "is called the Fort at Prospect Bluff, but which lie had `dCtioniinatcd the British post on the Appalachicola; took with 'him the white portion of his force, anti embarked fur Eng lanel,•with several of the wretched savages whom he was thus deluding to their fate ; among whom was the Prophet Francis, or Hillis Hadjo; and left the Fort, amply supplied with mili tary stores and ammunition, to the Negro department of his IV. V.l allies. It - afterwards was known by the name of Negro Fort. Col. Hawkins immediately communicated to this Government the correspondence between him and Ni cholls, here referred to, (copies of which, marked No. I to 5, aro h e rewith enclosed,) upon which Mr. Munroe, then X.] Secretary of State, addressed a letter (copy marked G.) to Mr. Baker, the British Charge d'Affaires, at Washington, complaining of Nicholls's conduct, and showing that his pre tence, that the 9th article of the Treatyof Ghent could have any application to his Indians, was utterly destitute of foundation. XL] Copies of the same correspondence were transmitted to the Minister of the United States then in England, with in s:ructions to remonstrate with the British Government against these proceedings of NichAs, and to show how incompatible they were with the peace which had been concluded between the two nations. These remonstrances were accordingly NIL a. h.] made, first in personal interview with Earl Ba thurst and Lord Castlereagh, and afterwards in written XIII. a. b.] notes, addressed successively to them (copies of which, together with extracts from the dispatchesof the Ame rican' Minister to the Secretary of State, reporting what passed at those interviews, are enclosed). - Lord Bathurst, in the most unequivocal manner, confirmed the facts, and dis avowed the misconduct of Nicholls; declared his disappro bation of the pretended treaty of alliance, offensive and de fensive, which be had made ; assured the American 111inister that the British Government liad refused to ratify that ttea tv, and would send back the Indians whom Nicholls had brought with him, with advice to make their peace on such terms as they could obtain. Lord Castlereagh confirmed the assurance that the treaty would not be ratified; and if, at the same time that these assurances were given, certain distinc tions of public notoriety were shown to the Prophet Hillis Hadjo, and he was actually honoured with a commission, as it British Officer, it is to be presumed that these favours were granted him as rewards of past services, and not as an en-' couragement to expect any support from Great Britain, in 'a continuance of savage hostilities against the United States, all intention of giving any such support having been repeat edly And earnestly disavowed.: The Negro fort, however, abandoned by Col. Nicholls, re mained on the Spanish territory, occupied by the banditti to whom be had left it, and held by them as a post, from whence to commit depredations, outrages, and murders, and as a XIV.] receptacle for fugitive slaves and malefactors, to the great annoyance both of the United States and Spanish Flo rida. In April, 1816, General Jackson wrote a letter to the Governor of Pensacola, calling upon him to pot down t7►is common nuisance to the peaceable inhabitants of both coun- XV.] tries. That letter, together with the answer of the Governor of Pensacola, have already been communicated to the Spanish Minister here, and by him, doubtless, to his Go vernment. Copies of them are, nevertheless, now again XXIII ] enclosed ; particularly as the letter from the Go vernor explicitly admits, that this fort, constructed by Ni cholls, in sinlation both of the territory and neutrality of Spain, was still no less obnoxious to his Government than to the United States; hut that be had neither sufficient force, nor an authority, without orders from the Governor-General of the Havannah, to destroy it. It was afterwards, on the .27th of July, 1816, destroyed by a canner-shot from a gun vessel of the United States, which, in its passage up the river, was fired upon fromit. It was blown up, with an English flag still flying as its standard, and immediately after the bar barous murder of a . boat's crew belonging to the mry of the United States, by the banditti left in it by Nicholls. In the year 1817, Alexander Arbuthnot, of the island of New Providence, a British subject, first appeared, as an Indian trader in' Spanish Florida ; and as the succesSur Of Colonel Nicholls, in the employment of instigating the Seminole and outlawed Red Stick Indians to hostilities against the United Stales, by reviving the pretence that they were entitled to all the 'ands which had been ceded t 3 the Creek Nation by the United States, in August, 1814. A's a mere Indian tr a der, the intrusion of this man into a Spanish province was con trary to the policy observed by all the European Powers in this hemisphere, and by none mole rigorously than by Spain, of excluding all foreigners from intercourse with the Indians within their Territories. It must be known to the Spanish Government, whether Arbuthnot had a Spanish license for trading with the Indians in Spanish Florida or not ; but they also know that - Spain was bound by Treaty to restrain by forte all hostilities on the part of those Indians, against the citizens of the United States, and it is for them to explain how, consistently with those eng,.gements, Spain conld, con trary to all the maxims of her ordinary policy, grant such a license to a foreign Incendiary, whose principal, if not his only object, appears to have been to stimulate those hostilities which Spain had expressly stipulated by force to restrain.— In his infernal instigations he was but too successful. No NUN.] sooner did he make his appearance among the Indians, accompanied by the Prophet Hillis Hadjo, returned L.] from . his expedition to England, than the peaceful inha bitants on the borders of the United States were visited with all the horrors of savage war; the robbery of their property, and the barbarous and indiscriminate murder of woman, in fancy and age. After the repeated expostulations, warnings, and offers of peace through the summer and autumn of 1811, on the part 1.1. a.] of the United States, had been answered only by re- Lir.] newel outages, anti after a detachment of 40 men, under Lieutenant Scott, accompanied by seven women, had been way-laid and murdered by the Indians, orders were given to General Jackson, and an adequate force was piaci! at his disposal, to terminate the war. It. was ascertained that the Spanish force in Florida was inadequate for the protec tion even of the Spanish territory itself, against this mingled horde of laWless Indians and Negroes : and, although their devastations were committed within the limits of the United States, they immediately sought refuge within the Florida line, and there only were to be overtaken. The necessity of crossing the line was indispensable; for it was from beyond the line that the Indians made their murderous incursions within that of the United States. It was there that they bad I heir /shod e,and the territory belonged in fact to them, al tho' within the borders of the Spanish jurisdiction. There it was that the American commander met the principal resistance from them ; XXXVIII.] there it was, that were found, the still bleeding scalps of our citizens, freshly butchered by them ; there it was that he released the only woman who bad been suffered to survive the massacre of the party under Lieutenant Scott. But it was not anticipated by this Government, that the corn manding-officers of Spain,in Flurida,wbose especial duty it was, in conformity to the solemn engagements contracted by their nation, to restrain by force those Indians from hostilities against the United States, would be fonud encouraging, aid ing, and abetting them, and frirnishing them with supplies for carrying on .such hostilities. The officer in command im mediately before General Jackson, was, therefore, especially instructed to respect, as far as possible, the Spanish Autho rity, wherever it was maintained, and copies of these orders were also furnished to General Jackson upon hit taking the commaud. In the course of his pursuit, as he approach ed St. Mark's, he was informed direct from the Governor of Pensacola, that a party of the hostile Indians had threatened to seize that fort, and that he apprehended the Spanish Gar rison there was not in strength sufficient to defend it against them. This information was confirmed from other sources, and by the evidence produced upon the trial of A mbrister, , it proved to have been exactly true. By all the laws of neutrality and of war, as well as of prudence and of humanity, be was war ranted in anticipating his enemy, by the amicable, and that being refused, by the forcible occupation of the fort. There will need no citations from printed treatises on international law, to prove the correctness of this principle. It is engraved in adamant on the common sense of mankind : no writer upon the laws of nations ever pretended to coattradict it ; none of any reputation or authority ever omitted to assert it. XXXIV.] At Fort St. Mark's, Alexander Arbuthnot, the British Indian trader from beyond the seas, the firebrand, by whose torch this Negro Indian war against our borders had been rekindled, was found an inmate of the Commandant's family; and it was also found that, by the Commandant him self, Councils of War had been permitted to be held within it, by the Savage Chiefs and Warriors; that the Spanish store houses had been appropriated to their use ; that it was an open market fur cattle„known to have been robbed by them from citizens of the United States, and which had been con tracted for and purchased by the Officers of the garrison ; that information had been afforded from this fort by Atbuth not, to the enemy, of the strength and movements of the American Army : that the date of the departure of express had been noted by the Spanish Commissary, and ammunition, munitions of war, and all necessary supplies furnished to the Indians. The conduct of the Governor of Pensacola was not less marked by a disposition of enmity to the United States, and by an utter disregard to the o bligations of the Treaty, by which he was bound to restrain, by force, the Indians from • hostilitjes aghinst them. When called 'Ton to vindicate the territorial rights and authority of Spain, by the destruction of the Negro fort, his predecessor bad declared it to be not less annoying and pernicious to the Spanish subjects in Flo riela, than to the United States, but had pleaded his inability to subdue it. He himself had ex pressed his appreh ensions that Fort St. Mark's would be forci bl y taken by the savages, from its Spanish garrison; yet, at the same time, he had re fused the passage up the Escambia river, unless upon the payment of excessive duties, to provisions destined as sup by the detention 9 p f l i e them,s for t w h a e s subjected American o Army,tliewin'obs; distressing priva tions. He had permitted free ingress and egress at Pensacola, to the avowed savage enemies of the United States. Supplies of ammunition, munitions of war, and provisions, had been received by them from thence. They had been received and sheltered there front the pursuit of the American forces, and suffered again to sally thence, to 'enter upon the American territory, and commit new murders. Finally, on the ap proach of General Jackson to Pensacola, the Gover- XXXIII.I nor sent him a letter, denouncing his entry upon the territory of Florida as a violent outrage upOn the rights of Spain, commanding him to depart and withdraw from the same, and threatening, in case of his non-compliance, to em ploy force to expel him. It became, therefore, in the' opinion of General Jackson, indispensably necessary to take from the Governor of UV.] Pensacola the means of carrying his threat into exe cution. Before the forces under his command, the savage enemies of his country had disappeared; but he knew that the moment those - forces should be disbanded, if sheltered by Spanish fortresses, if furnished with ammunitions and sup plies of Spanish officers, and if aided and supported by the instigation of Spanish encouragement, as he had every reason to expect they would he, they would reappear, and fired, in addition to their ordinary ferociousness, with revenge for the chastisement they had so recently received, would again rush with the war hatchet and scalping knife into the borders of the United States, and mark every footstep with. the blood of their defenceless citizens. So far as all the native resources of the savage extended, the war was at an end; and General Jackson was about to restore to their families and their homes, the brave volunteers who had followed his standard, and who had constituted the principal part of his force.— This could be done with safety, leaving the regular portion • of his troops to garrison his line of forts, and two small de tachments of volunteer cavalry,to scour the country round Pensacola, and sweep off the lurking remnant of savages who had been scattered and dispersed before him. This was suffi cient to keep in check the remnant of the banditti against whom he had Marched, so long as they should be destitute of other aid and support. It was, in his judgment, not sufficient, if they should he suffered to rally their numbers under the protection of Spanish forts, and to derive new strength from the impotence or the against the United States of the Spanish Authorities. He took possession, therefore, of Pensacola and of the Fort of Barrancas, as he had done of St. Mark's, nut in a spirit of hostility to Spain, but as a necessary measure of self-de fence ; giving notice, that they should be restored whenever Spain should place commanders and a force there, able and willing to fulfil the engagements of Spain towards the United States, of restraining by force the Florida Indians from hos tilities against their citizens. The President of the United States, to give a signal manifestation of his confidence in the disposition of the King of Spain to perform with good faith this indispensable engagement, and to demonstrate to 114 world, that neither the desire of conquest nor hostility' Spain had any influence in the Councils of the Unitsd States; has directed the unconditional restoration to any SPanisd Officer, duly authorized to receive them, of Pensacola an, the Barrancas, and that of Si. Mark's to any Spanish f•rc" adequate for its defence against the attacks of the savages. Bet the President will neither inflict punishment, a° P ass a censure upon General Jackson, for that cond uct, the ll' tires for which were founded in the purest patri otism, 01 till necessity for which he had the most immediate and OW; tual means of forming a judgment, and the vindication °it which is written in every page of the law of nations, as We as in the first law of nature, self-defence. Ile thinks it, °lt the contrary, due to the justice which the United States hart a right to claim from Spain : and you are accordingly t"str all ed to demand of the Spanish Government, that inqu ir y be instituted into the conduct of Don Jose Mazot , G2recn°: of Pensacola, and of Don Francisco C. Luerigo, Command° of St. Mark's, and a suitable punishment inflicted upon for having, in defiance and violation of the ene'age ment6 :6 Spain with the United States, aided and assisted these hot' of savages in those very hostilities against the 'United Sesta which it was their official duty to restrain. Thi s ing : s ir a l is due to the character of those officers themselves, "- file Wigs' to the honour of the Spanish Government. (ion of Spain to restrain by force the Indians of Fl ea f rom hostilities against the United States and their cit izen : is explicit, is positive, is unqualified. The fact, that I°l. series of years they have received shelter, assistance, sPPliels:e and protection, in the practice of such hostilities frau' t " t : Spanish Commanders in Florida, is clear and 'unequivocal. XXXI L] as the Commanders both at Pensacola and St. Ma rk . : XLII.I have alleged, this has been the result of their sireakne; rather than of their will—if they have assisted the JO W L against the United States to avert their hostilities frog t i ; province, which they had not sufficient force to defend &O n them, it may serve in some measure to exculpate, indicidtv ; the; ally, those officers; but it must carry demonstration .1.10 sistible to the Spanish Go vernment, that the right at United States can as little compound with impotence as 2 ' 4 perfidy; and that Spain must immediately make her eleet i°" either to place a force in Florida adequate at once to tile Pia tection of her territory and to the fulfilment of her eagt ti e me nts, or cede to the Uni ted States a province, of 1 / 1 7 1 , she retains nothing but the nominal possession ; bpt is, in fact, a derelict o p en to the occupancy of every enr my, civilized er sav a g e, of the United States, and sersitl no other earthly purpose than as a post of annoyance to theta' That the purposes, as well of the Negro Indian banditti, with whom we have been contending, as of the British iU' vaders of Florida, who first assembled and employed t hetn :, and of the British intrudiag and pretending traders, sigee.lll peace, who have instigated and betrayed them to destrocto; have been not less hostile to Sp ain than to the United Stat the proofs contained in the documents herewith enclosed conclusive.
