The following extract of a letter is from a ger
tl'-oian erf the first respectability ■ at Washtngioi
Mississippi Territory, to bis friend ip this citj
healing dale
October, 30, 1810.
“ The situation of Florida most certainly claims
• he earliest possible attention of our government,
lor, unlesS*Hey are adopted into#our family of go
vernments, thu-e is much room to- fear that one of
the great belligerents of Europe will attempt to lay
^violent hands upon these provinces, to the incalcu
lable injury of the United Statas. Indeed 1 verily
believe there is a strong parly in that country in
favour of its pupilage to Great Britain—yet I am
well persuaded such a measure could not be effected
without a noble and manly struggle by every real
American within the province, aided by hundreds
lromwithout.it , .
“ Jt would hein vain for our government to Tor
hid the interference of its citizens ; their interests
and their feelings are too strongly enlisted to be
kept quiet spectators of such a struggle. During
the late troubled state in (hat quarter, numbers of
territormns were daily cross jpg and recrossing the
line in anxious expectation of some military em
ployment. The Revolutionalists will again meet
in convention, in a few days at Baton Rouge, and 1
think one oftbeir first measures will be to adopt a
constitution, bottomed upon their declaration of in
dependence ; and in all probability they w^ll set on
fool an expedition against the Spanish garrison on
Moliile%nd Pensacola. Notwithstanding these overt
acts of self government, I am well convinced that
the.conveniionalisis would promptly and joyfully ac
quiesce in any claim of dominancy which the United
States would set up.
“ But upon this subject you will probably he
much better informed, iu a shott time, by a messen
ger who will be zeal by the convention to our gov
ernment.”
The following is an extract of a letter from ano
ther gentleman at Washington, (Miss. Ter.) to his
friend here, of the same date.' -
< “’Ere this can he received, yon will have heard
of col. Covington having been sent on command to
the Florida line of demurkatinn. This measure was
adopted in pursuance of a/equation from Gover
nor Holmes, who npprehehended that the throes
and convulsions of the Floridians, “ struggling for
their long lost liberty,” might reach our peaceful
borders and disturb the tranquillity and neutrality
of our territorial citizens, or that the flame of
civil discord which seemed to be kindling a
monget our neighbours might blow over the
line and disturb the peaceful occupations oi his loy
al citizens ; but at present the storm seems to hav#
gone by,*and col. Covington had removed bis com
mand from the line into quarters at Fort ^dams,
when be was called to supercede col. Cushing in bis
command of the department here.”
Bosrot, Nov. 20.
From a gentleman who came passenger in the
Sally, and on whose information we can rely, we are
informed*that Gen. Armstrong was officially assur
ed, by the Due de Cadore, that the Ramhomllet
ferine, confiscating American property, would cease
to operate when the American Congress should pass
« Uw, restoring the'French property seized voder
the mminlercnurteact. und that such American pro
perty would be then surrendered, subject however,
•to such duties as the Emperor had decreed. This
promise however did not apply* to Italy or Holland
—After the first of November, American produce
was to be .freely admitted into ' France; colonial
produce still to be confiscated. In the mean time
the property seised w«s sold, and deposited to
await the decision of Congress tcpectiug the law
required. ’ , v ;
‘ Our informant is of opinion, that tire duties and
expenses incurred by a voydg# to France,ewo should
the decrees be actually repealed, would' amount to
nearly the same result as n setxure, and that Bona
mru tluis expecta, without giving offence, to effect
the sapre object.
Bernadotter thoogh neither Emperor nor kmg of
Sweden, but merely heir apparent, declared to Geo,
Armstrong, that notwithstanding the recent seques
trations in that country, real American property
*hoqld be respected, and Mr. Spear* of New York
was appointed ngent br see Una promise extcuivdi

wife) is haughtier to his court, subjects, and foreign
ministers than ever.

The Constellation, rapt. Leach,'arrived at this
port yesterday, ip 29 days from Lisbon, in which
came passenger William Jarvis, Esq. and family.—
Mr. Jarvis informs us, that an embarga took place
du the 8ih ol October on all shipping; which were
required to take a fourth of their cargoes, as well
as a fourth of the whole number of passengers, on
account or the government of that place, receiving
therefor a reasonable compensation. Froui. this
source we learn, that tbe relative positions of the
two armies, on the 24th October, were within from
12 to 20 miles of Lisbon. The head quarters of
tbe English were at Mafra (about J2 miles from
Lisbon) making a diagonal line from the Tagus to
tbeocean. The French, on tbe other hand, were at
Villa Franca, (16 miles from Lisbon, and 8 from
Mafra, in an E. N. E. direction,) of course a line
drawn between these two places will represent the
fronts of the respective armies. In front of Mafra
is a chain of mountains extending, with few inter
vals, from the river to the ocean'. The movement
ol Masseoato the left of the English, at the battle
of tbe Sierra of Busaco, on the 2?th Sept, obliged
them to retire from the heights with so much pre
cipitation, that they left behind them at Martagoa,
large quantities of provisions, of which the french
stood m peculiar need; Massena followed up this
evulution with great promptitude, keeping close to
the English in tbe retreat; and Wellington, with
equal forethought and prudence, happily begun to
fortify his new position, having called in bis out

extruded about 20 mile*. He bad been reinforced
on the 18tb Oct. by 5,000 men from England, Ire
land^ and as many more from Cadiz and Sicily;
whilst the Marquis of Romana, and general 0‘Don
nel fjom Spanish Estramadura, with 10,000
Spaniards, have crossed the Tagus, and.joined the
combined army. The whole force of Wellington it
would now be fair to estimate as follows: after the
capture of Almeida,' they were estimated at about
35,000 English, 29,000 Portuguese regulars, be
sides militia, &r. since which, and before the battle
of the 27tb, they were reinforced by 6,200 English ;
their losses in that engagement were 1,160; hut let
1,500 he allowed this would reduce them l<> 4(^000
English and 19,500 Portuguese. Their present re
inforcements being added, they probably have equal
tc 50,000 English, 30,000auxiliaries.—The Fretu-h
army, are computed to be 70,000 strong ; their po
sitions are said to be fortifying, and are tolerably
well supplied excepting with bread, in which they
are dtfirieni; and particularly so, in consequence of
the destruction digram by the English in their re
treat. About 20,000 peasantry retreated along with
the British in consequence of Lord W’s proclama
tion ; these people, though provided for by govern
ment, are said to beitfgreat distress.
No papers were brought by Mr. Jarvis; pro
visions were very dear.—Flour jg 1£).—Corn £2

to combine all nur previous information, with the
intelligence politely furuiUied us by Mr. Jarvis ; and
have made out what we suppose to be, the relative
state and positions of the two armies, on the 20th
Oct. It appears dear, that the two enemies highly
respected each other; having been within sight ft.r
22 days, withoti^an engagement. The great talents
of Massena, and the presumed strength of his army,
would lead us to expert a general action at once, if
he is really very superior in numbers; as his situa
tion must be singularly distressing. Mis convoys
with supplies harrassed in the rear by a body of
40,000 militia; under gen. Silviera and col. Trant;
the great extent of his land conveyance, both of
ammunition and provisions, (being 300 miles from
Bayoune, and 220 miles from Madrid) in an un
friendly country, surrounded with enemies ; these
circumstances, must soon oblige the French general
either to give battle upon terms advantageous to the
English, or to retire, for the purpose of additional
reinforcements. Lord Wellington, on tba other hand,
strongly posted and abundantly supplied, is in no
hurry to risk a general action, conscious that a
Fabian policy, iu tbf mountains and fastnesses of
Portuguese Estrainadura, is the most destructive
warfare to he adopted against the wiley Hannibal,
of Modern Europe. If Lord Wellington attacks
Massena, the rratt of the latter may overcome the
bravery of the formerf if be oply sustains an at
tack, the chance is, that the bravery of his army
will render him successful; in which case Massena’s
want of provisions will fefree upon him a precipitate
retreat; such desperate fighting as is without ex
ample on tbe annals of modern wai fare; or a ca
pitulation of bis whole army. This iattrr idea,
is, however, a presumption only to be, realized, in
the event of a decided victory op the part of Welling
(on; and Masiepa’s mability td retreat for want of
lupplies. ‘ /; : : :%*-J. *1* q
