Although we do at preseme to give aa exposition to the

Governor I:, leli has i,,acd a limelamutiou-to the
people of Florida, deck favour of Ferdi-
nand V 11. it is couched in the most energetic
language, and breathes a spirit of etc most deter-
mined hostility to Bonaparte. We observe, in
all the Addresses to the Patriots, that religion forms
a principal proportion of the contents.
In Mexico, a similar spirit prevails. The cor-
poration have offered 14,00:4000 of dollars, us a

Mr. Baker, the messenger, who went to Enlace
is the ,St. Michael, with dispatches. from our go-
vernment, Ives returned in the ship America, which
arrived in Philadelphia on Sunday last. Mr. Baker
landed at Newcastle, and immediutely proceeded to
Washimiton. • OCT. 10.

Captain Petersen, of the schooner Fame, from
Itimore, informs tic that on Wednesday morning
he saw the 'Kix Si. Michael, at New Point Cumfot.
she had arrived tt.ere from France un the preceding
evening. The Messenger iinftediately lauded with
the dispatches, which are represented ss being ila•
cific, went on a little to New York, and proceeded
next morning for the seat of Government.
Among the measures that thew the declining in-
fluence of Jefferson, the election of Members of
Congress is the most decisive. New York has
exchanged six of her Jefferson ian representa-
tives for Federalists; New Hampshire, five : Rhode
Island, two ; North Carolina, four at least. Here
are seventeen of the President's machines, for mak-
ing non-importation and embargo laws, building a
gun-boat navy, and supplying France with money,
under the pretext of purchaser—seventeen gone
over the dam already. This ehnnge will make a
difference of thirty-four votes in Congress, when any
of Bonaparte's measures arc again sent to them fur
adoption.—(B. Ga:ettc.)
From The Winchester Virginia Gazette of Sep-
tember 6:

" C;vnera! Vavasseur, late of the French artily,

A letter dated the 281 of August, from a Gen-
tleman in tlevanne, to his correspondent in Balti-
more, gives the following important information :
—At a ineoting of the Junta, Governor and Coun-
cil, they deliberated about shutting the port against
the American trade; and such a measure was
nearly agreed te. It was generally supposed that
the ports on the Spanish Mllll, as well us in the
Islands, would ere long be closed against the Ame-
ricans. OCT. 12.

Mr. Nourse, the Messenger, reached W;111177,-
ton on Friday night. Nothing has yet transpired
from the Government paper of the nature of the
dispatches received by hint from England and
France.

OCT. 22.

A thousand idle rumours have been inCircula-
bon relative to the British packet. In the uhseuce
of Captain Decatur, who it at Philadelphia, one
•f the Officers of the Chesapeake boarded the pac-
ket, and asked her fur her clearances ; us packets
never have clearances. Captain Hanultuo, of course,
could not gratify him. lie then wanted to see
Captain Hamilton's credentials, which were refused,
as it was au unprecedented 4dem+u►d. The packet
was anchored along-side the Chesapeake, and the
Captain returned to town to receive the advice of
the aritish Consul.

We understand the packet has received per-
mission to proceed., but the wind being a-head, she
remained at Staten Island last evening.
Yesterday, the gun-boat, No. 500, came up
from the British packet, with fifteen millions
of dollars, which were found on board ; it is said,
and there is great probability in the report, that
this money is ordered back to the vessel from
which it was taken, as it has been discovered that
the shove sum was put on board, ass present from
our Government to the Spanish Patriots, to assist
them in their God-like struggle against the ty-
rant of the world.

This noble act, it is to UP hOped. will for ever do
away the idea of o•►r adn►uiiatration being partial
to Napoleon.
N.H. Since writing the above, we hear that two
millions more hare heel) found concealed in the
packet's water closet.

Yesterday seventy-nine Spaniards (late pm:osiers

the occasion. The following note had been pre-

probable, that the meeting was held to arrsc.,

We also find, from a New York paper of the undi''t
of September, that the city of Mexico had prupokA
