WEST FLORIDA. I
The affairs of West Florida have now
reached a Crisis, in which it becomes neces
sary for our government to act.—Thipcri
sis calls lor the in'crpositiori of our Gov
ernment——We should lake |josse*sion with,
out delay, of that part, at hast, in which the
Spanish authority has been de facto subvert'
<d.
Every consideration, which can address
itself to the interests, the pride and honor of
a nation, must powerfully press upon us —
The mutual relations of the U. S. and the
Tloridas—recommend an union of force
They are helpless without our protection—
our territories are exposed, and our coin,
merce interrupted, without their annexation
—mutu »l wan's & mutual interests, require
us tube one. They will share in the enjoy
nirnt of that political cCnstrution. which
now sheds ’ts blessings over 6 millions of
freemen—and we shall living a new and
valuable territory within our scope. It will
be “Liberty to them and Security to us.”
Our right t’>o extends at least us fur as
the Perdido—that strip was a part ot Louis'
iani
We hope that these inducements will he
qu;i kennel bv the conduct of Florida her
se'-There are the strongest reasons to
believe, that the Florida Convention will
TOuke application to us fur our friendship,
and lot out protection And we have the
disposition and the means to afford them
both Their public professions have been
and are perhaps at this moment, accommo
dared merely to the ftolicy of their siiu.iii
on —In a short time, \ye hope to hail them
Upenly as our brethren —as the co..part_
revs of the Independence and the Liberty
of the American U public
Such has, for a long time appeared to
* us, as the wisest course, which we could
pursue. Our readers are welt acquainted
nr/ h our ideas on this “ Florida ritesli~
ton.”
17“ To the preceding reflections, we beg
Jeave to subjoin ’he following statement
fiom the las' Aurora'.
J< is at length ascertained, that a small
British force lias been landed in Florida,
and that the British have taken formal pos
session of Pensacola What their views are
in tliis eutei prise, tve have no other means
to judge, than by a reference to the geneial
ay st. m of British policy. •
\\ e leave it to every one to form his own
judgment as to the design, which this event
c a be no more, than a prelude ; for Peti6a.,
cola i si If, either a; a seise for commerce,
or as a militar position, can be of no im
portance or injury to any power in full oc
cupatinn of ihe Wesr-lndia Islands; and at
tins moment every colony of the West.In
dies, is directly or indirectly under the
power of Great Britain. .
By the Spanish advices recently received,
we find that toe governing authority hi Ca
diz have already discussed the subject of
indemnities to Great Britain, in consider
ation oft he succours of men and money, and
arms and stores, supplied iii resisting
France.. Among the places spoken of, ere
the peninsul \ <: Jucatan, and the Bay of
Campeachy, in full .sovereignty to Great
Britain, tne Island of Cuba and the Pro
vince of Florida.
Wt not'e Florida being i~entior.fd in he
lingular number only ; and ic is proper to
remark, that this.appe rs to 'rtclic.ite an a
bandonmem of any p; < tensions to inrerfere
with the rights, of the U States Under the
treaty of Paris; because die bay and river
of Perdido being pur legal boundary under
that tjtle, and Pensacola' not being within
our boundary, respect is a' least for he
piese.nt, paid to ear rig'*' bo h in the tlis
etission of the subject of li isi Florida only,
of which Pcnsacol. in the capital, but in a
voiding so far any interference with our
rights of jurisdicti n and legal title.
It is proper that the public attention should
be turned to tin^ subject, with earnestness ;
as the movements in the province of West
FI orida, to which we have an undoubt- d ti
tle as tar as the Perdido, may become very
soon an object of deep interest, according
to the springs which move or govern them.

* Head .Quartets Fort of Baton Rouge,
September 24th, 1810.
Sir,
In obedience to the ordet of the con
vention, bearing date the 22d. instant. I
diiected Major Johnson to assemble such
of 'he cavalry as might be ready at hand,
and march immediately for the fort of Ba
ton Rouge ; l then proceeded to Springfield,
where 1 found forty.four of the Gienadier
Company, commanded by Colonel Batten,
ger, waiting the orders of Convention. A
one o’clock, in the morning of the 23d. we
joined M jr. Johnson and Captain Grif
fith, with twrnty.one of the Bayou Sara
| cavalry, and five or six other patriotic gen
tlemen, joined us on our march: At four
o’clock the same morning, we made the
attack My cadets were not to fire ’till we
received a shot in m the gnrrisou, and to
cry out in French and English, “ ground
your arms, and you shall not be hurt
This order was strictly attended to by the
volunteers, ’till wc received a discharge of
musketry from the guaid-homc, where the
Governor w '.s, which was briskly return,
rtl by the volunteers; wi received no da
/ nrngc on our part ; of the Governor’s troops.
Lieu . Louis Grand Pre was mortallv
wounded; Lieut. J. B. Metzegnes. com
mat dan t of artillery, was also wo'mdcd, one
private was killed and four badly wounded
—VVe took, twenty .one prisoners, among
whom is Col. Delussus; the rest of the
garrison escaped by flight. The magazines,
stores, C^c. found in the garrison, have been
reported to you by James Neilson. E-.q.
who was appointed tor that purpose.
I lie various and complicated duties de
volving on me, from the pressing circutn
stances ot the moment, forbid a more mi

The firmness and moderation of the vo
lunteers who made the attack, was fulv e.
Iqual to the best disciplined troops. YVh-dg
Companies are duly fl icking to onr stan

vailing in the garrison must be highly gra

DYTHE REPRESENTATIVES OE THE PEO
PLE OF West Florida,
A DECLARATION.
It is known to the world wish how much
fuieliiy the good people ot this territory
have professed and maintained allegiance to
their legitimate sovereign while any hope
remained uf receiving from him protection
for their property and lives. Without ma
king any unnecessary innovation in the es„
tablished pi incipes of the government, we
had voluntarily adop red certain regulations
in concert with our liist magistrate, for the
express purpose ut preserving this territory,
aiui shewing our attachment t<» the govern.
iiienl which had heretofore piotected us._
1 his compact, which was entered into with
gno:l faith on our part, will forever remain
an honorable testimony ot our upright inten.
tiotis and inviolable.fidelity to cur king and
parent country, while >o much as a shadow
«>f legitimate authority remained to be ex
erased over us. > Wc s. ught only a speedy
remedy for such evils as seemed to endan
grr our existence and prospet itv, and were
encouraged by' nti* governor with solemn
premisses of assistance and co-operation —
Hu. those measures winch were intended
lor ohr preservation, he has endeavored to
peTvein^to an engine of destruction bv en
vo\u aging, ,u the most perfidious manner
! 'he violation of ordinances sanctioned and
j established by- himself as the law of the
land.
i itlnS thus left without any hope of pro
lettion trom the mother country, by being
betrayed by a magistrate whose duty it
; was to have provided fi>r the safety and
tianquility of the people and government
committed to his charge, and exposed to
all the evils of a state of anarchy, which
we have so long eodeavoied to avert; it be
comes our duty -o provide for our own se
curity as a tree and independent state, ab
solved irom all allegiance to a government
which no longer protects us.
We, therefore, the representatives afore
said. appealing to the supreme ruler of the
w< rld for the rectitude of our intentions, do
solemnly publis.i and declare the several
districts composing this Territory of West i
Florida to be a free and independent State,
and that they have a rignt to institute for
hemselves such form of government as they
may think conducive to their safety an:l
happiness-to form treaties—to establish
Commerce——to provide for their common
defence, and do all acts which may of right
he done by a sovereign and independent na
ti„i:-At the same time declaring all acts
wi hin the said territory of West Florida
alter this date by any tribunal or authori
ties not deriving their powers from the peo
ple agreeable to the provisions of this con~
vention, to be null and void-and calling
upon all foreign nations to respect -his our
declaration, acknowledging our indepen
dence, and giving us aid as may be consistent
with the laws and usages of nations
This declaration made in convention, at
the town of Baton Kouge, on the 26th
day of September, in the year of our
Lord, one thousand eighteen hundred
and ten—We the representatives in the
a.vne, and on behalf of our constituents
do hereby solemnly piedge ourselves to
support with our lives and fortunes.
