CAPIVRE OF I'LNSACOL

By New York Papers to the 9th ult., received
this morning, we nave the tollowiog OtEcidi Ac-
count of the taking possession of Pensacola, by
the American General JACKSON

11. Q. Division of the South, Pensacola, Ntay 29.

Major-General ANDREW J AcKioN has tunnel it
torcessaly to take possession of I'vii,al)l4. Ile
has out been prompted to this measure from a
‘visli to extend the territorial limits of the United

States, or from any unfriendly feeling on the
part of the America(' Republic to the Spanish
Goveinineut. The Seminole 'what's, inhabiting
the territories of Spain, have for more than two
sears past visited our nontier settlers with all
the lhorrors of savage massacte—helpless women
have been butchered, and the cradle stained with
the blood of innocence These atrocities, it was
expected, would have early attracted the atten-
tion of the Spanish G,.vermneut, and that faithful
:o existing treaties, speedy measures would have
been adopted for their suppressiuu.
Tue obligation to restrain them was acktiow-
lcdged, but weakness was alleged, with a conces-
sion, that so far from being able to confront, the
Spanish Authorities were often compelled, from
policy or necessity, to issue munitions of war to
these savages, thus enabling, if not exciting,
them to raise the tomahawk against us. The im-
mutable laws of self-defence, therefore, com-
pelled the American Government to take posses-
sion of such parts of the Florida% in which the
Spanish Authority could not be maintained. Pen-
:-acola was found in this situation, and will be
held until Spain can furnish military strength
suilicieot to enforce existing Treaties. Spanish
subjects will be respected ; Spanish laws will go-
vern in all cases affectiug property and person a
free toleration to all religions guaranteed, and
trade alike free to all nations.

_Colonel Ktmc will assume the command of Pen-
sacola, as Military and Civil Governor.
The Spanish laws, so far as they affect per-
sonal rights and property, will be enforced. Col.
LING sill take possession of the archives of the
ovinee. and appoint some confidential indivi-
iinal to preserve them. It is all important that
I at tccords of titles and property should be care-
.dly secured. lie will cause fill inquiry to be
;•.ris &I 1 the lauded nroneetv hei one.nir to

the Icing of Bran{, awl have possession taken of
it. The claims of property within the range of
gun-shot of'Fort Carlos de liarancas will be sent-
puloosly exatnired into, anti, should they prove
valid, a rent allowed, ht possession in no wise
given. This property is necessary to the United
States, and unditr its laws may be held, an equi-
valent hying paid.
The Revenue Laws of the United States will
be established, and Captain GADSDEN is appoint-
ed to act as Collector, with full powers to nomi-
nate such Sub-ofscei:s as, in his opinion, will be
necessary to the faithful discharge of the trust
reposed in him. He will apply to the Governor
of Pensacola for military aid iu all cases where
it may be necessary to correct attempts at illicit
trade.

The schooner Colonel George Armstrong, GATE-
cnata, arrived here frotn Ilavannah, in 9 days.
The day she sailed, two Cartels arrived there
front Pensacola %vial Spanish Troops and the Go-
vern°, of that place. It was expected that Ame-
rican vessels would be detained, as a stop was
put to loading them. As tnitlit he expected,
this affair created considerable sensation.

We received this morning the Paris Papers of
WVe•dnesday last, ho►t we have scarcely room to
notice them. The news under the ►'aris head
chiefly consists of a detail respectimg the arrival of
the KING at and the rejoicings on the
occasion. The Ministers se• out early on Tuesday
morning to attend his Majesty at Rambouillet,
By a Cabinet Older issued at Berlin, the ordi-
nary Prussian Flag is to be black and white, to
consist of three bands—the middle one to be
white, and the two outer ones black, but with-
out art Eagle.

The Opposition Writers pretend that Ministers
will lose much strength in the New Parliament,
but front all the envities which we have made
we have reason to expect a contrary result. They
are accused of plots and artifices—•-a charge that
rather applies to their adversaries; and the only
crime of Ministers is, that they made use of a
power affotded by the Constitution to defend it
against the plots and artifices of those who want
to overwh lin it in a Revolution. The Morning
Chronicle, which is always fomenting and encou-
raging these plots and artifices against the Con-
stitution, impudently says, to-day, " we think it
almost impossible that Ministers should dare to
oppose themselves any longer to the voice of the
Nation." By the voice of the Nation the Chro-
nicle means the clan-touts of a discontented Fac-
tion, who ate enraged because their vile machi-
nations have been defewed ‘Ve, on the oilier
hand, should wonder that the Miters in The
Chionicle thus dare every day to oppose them-
selves to the true interest of the Country, and
pretend to act On patriotic principles, it we had
not too much experience of their audacity and
malevolence.
