" MADRID, AUG. 13.—According to advices
from the Spanish Consul at Tangier, the malady
in Morocco had assumed a milder character, and
made little progress:

" Some vessels are slowly fitting out at Cadiz,
the penury of the Treasury not allowing the active
labour which circumstances call for.

" STRASBURG, AUG. 23.--Officers appointed
on each side are about to be occupied with the
anal demarcation of the frontiers of the Rhine
between France and Germany, from Huningen
to Laute rburg.

" The Duke of Wellington is expected at the
head-quarters of Reichschoffen, near Nicderbroun,
o: the 30th, or 31st instant.

" AUG! f3L7 AUG. 2.o.—The pleasure camp!

were to have been formed in different pro-
vinces of the Austrian Monarchy in the ensuing
Autumn, are understood to be countermanded."

We received this morning New York Papers to
the 29th ult. The following are Extracts :
(From The Frankfort, (Ken.) Argus, July 3.) '

PENsAcoLA.—The course pursued after the cap-

tore of this place, evinces a determination on the
part of the Government or its agents to keep pos-
,ession. However irregular may have been the
seizure of this place, and we have no doubt the
whole world will consider it an act of open war,
though we may attempt to excuse it, Pensacola
must never be given up, hut he held for ever as
an indemnity for Spanish injuries. The safety of
our Southern frontier requires it.

But while we rejoice at the prospect of obtain-
ing indemnity from Spain, and security for our
Southern frontier, let us not forget the principles
of our own Constitution. The right of declaring
war is vested in Congress. The President has no
right without such declaration to use the troops
of the Union for any other purpose than national
defence.; If it was found that Spain bad so con-
ducted herself as to make the invasion and occu-
pation of her territories, or in other words, an
open war, necessary, it was the duty of the Pre-
sident to submit the facts to Congress, and let
them judge what course it would be most proper
to pursue. The Constitution has made that body
subject to the call of the President at any moment
when the public interest way require.
The conclusion which we draw from these
principles is, that the President had no right to
give orders for the occupation of Pensacola, or
any other place in the possession of Spain, with-
out authority from Congress. The reasons al-
leged by JACKSON are probably sufficient to justify
Congress in authorizing this act of open war,
but not sufficient to justify the President without
such authority. However, the act may not have
been authorised by the President; for we repeat
that JACKSON evidently disregarded his public
orders.

But the blow is struck—an oci of war has been
committed, and let not the administration nor the
country shrink from the consequence. We have
a right to expect reprisals, and ought to put our-
selves in the best possible situation for an ap-
proaching contest. The first and most obvious
step is the occupation of all the Floridas. This
would not increase the causes of war, and would

put us into a better situation to meet it.

[FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.]
Office of The Charleston Courier, July A.
1,11 E /HUM riAVANNAkt.—Captain SNOW, of the brig Alert,
arrived yesterday, in nine days, from Havannah, informs us,
that three days before he left that port, two small American
schooners, of about GO tons each, arrived there as cartels,
from Pensacola, having on board part of the Officers and Sol-
diers composing the late Spanish garrison of that place; three
other vessels, which had sailed in company, with the re-
mainder of the troops, were momently expected. The in-
telligence of the capture of Pensacola excited a very consi-
derable degree of ferment at I3avannah ; a Grand Council
immediately assembled, and the result of their deliberations
was said to he a determination to seize on all American ves-
sels and property in that island; but the Governor was op-
posed to its execution. The Council was again to be con-
vened, when it was supposed something decisive would
be determined upon. Such was the exasperation among the
lower orders of people, that the Americans in port were
afraid to be on shore after night. But notwithstanding all
this excitement, it was the opinion of most well-informed
merchants at Havannah, that no step would he taken against
American commerce until instructions bow to act should be
received from Old Spain. (New Yuri Evening Post,
July 17.)
SOUTH AMEEICAN COMMISSIONERS.—In notic-
ing the return of two of the Commissioners sent
to Smith America, the Washington City Gazette
thus remarks—" We hear that they have so far
completed the object of their mission, as to
have transmitted by Mr. Graham to the Presi-
dent, dispatches embracing the points wherein
the Executive was desirous of obtaining par-
ticular informatiOn. At the first thought it
must be obvious that the time occupied for
making up an opinion of such vast importance to
the nation, is much too limited.—They have only
been absent for the short period of seven months,
during which, four months have been spent
in performing the voyage, which only leaves
three months to look about them in a coun-

try entirely new to our visitors, in its language
and customs. This is not said with any view to
anticipate the sentiments of the Commissioners,be-
cause from every source of information, the Repub-
lic is known to be in a prosperous state in their civil,
military, and commercial affairs. The continued re-
sidence of Mr. Bland is no doubt a good omen, tho'
we do not hear even a conjecture afloat as to the na-
ture of the official communication made to the
executive. Till this is published by authority,
we must content ourselves with the speculations
that may leak out on this topic from the usual
indirect channels of information.—(New York
Commercial Advertiser, July 17.)
