HAmlitYßun, OcT. I.—We have received the
following Document, the importance of which
renders it worthy of public attehtion. It is the
Note lately presented by the Spanish Minister for
Foreign Affairs, to the Ambassador Plenipoten-
tiary of the United States of America, and which
contains the Protest against the occupation of a
Part of the territory of Florida.
NOTE.
" the department confided to me, dis-
agreeable accounts continue to be received con-
cerning the nature and circumstances of the late
events in Florida, and the hostile proceedings of
the American General Jackson and the troops tin-
der his command, in the territory of those pro-
vinces
.which belong to his Majesty. •Besides the
facts to which I invited the attention of your
Excellency, in my Notes of the-26th of July, and
of the 6th and II d, of this mouth, I have now
before me the copy of a capitulation, which it
appears followed the hostilities committed by that
General against the fortress of Pensacola, and in
consevence of which the Spanish garrison has
been eouveyed to the Havannali. In my pre-
ceding Notes, I had the honour to inform your
Excellency, that -notwirbstanding the particular
haracter of violence which seemed to mark the
actions and operations of General Jackson, since
his first entrance into the Floridas, his Majesty,
imwilloig to consider these proceedings as the
arbi!rary acts of the said General, was convinced
that the Government of the United States would
no longer delay to disapprove them, as soon as
they came within its knowledge, and that proper
orders wooh: immediately be given, not only for
the evacuation of the territory invaded, but a!so
tor the reparetion of the damage occasioned, and
for the restoration of the property taken, which
belonged as well to his Majesty and Spanish sub-
jyets, as also to strangers, who lived there under
the protection of his Majesty's Goecnnnent. It
could not be presumed,-without offeiice to the
integrity of the Arnerical CiOvernnieur, that there
would he any delay in giving satisfaction to a
friendly Power, and to all civilized Nations this
testimony of respect. for those principles on which
the maintenance of social order depends.
" It was with a profound affliction that Iris
Majesty learnt from the subsequent reports of his
Moinster at Washington, that, as the first excesses
of General Jackson had not been disapproved, he
had not hesitated to continue his acts of violence,
and to desolate with fire and sword every thing
upon the Spanish territory, when, he met with
the resistance which a sense of honour prescribed
to sonic small garrisons, attacked in the midst of
peace by a 'microns body of troops. In general,
the territory of his Majesty was attacked in the
most revolting manner ; the fortresses and depots
of arms have been taken by force, the garrisons
made prisopers, and then sent out of the pro-
vinces where his Majesty had ordered them to
serve ; nay, subjects of Powers in friendthip with his
Majesty have been lexecuted upon Spanish ground,
and this act of barbarity cloaked with judicial
forms, which, in that situation and in those cir-
cumstances, can only be considered-as a refine-
ment orcruelty. It cannot be doubted but these
excesses are known to the Government of Wash-
ington, and it dues not yet appear that orders
are given to put an end to them, or to give to
the Spanish Government the only sat is tact ion
which they admit of. In this situation, his Ale.
jesty considers it to be due to his own dignity,
and that of the people whom he governs, to order
me, at the same time that I again most solemnly
protest against all that has been done by General
Jackson, front the day that he set his foot on tlie
territory of Florida, to add further, that your
Excellency will he pleased to inform your Go-
vernment, that the King is of opinion, that
from the nature of the said injuries, and really
hostile proceedings, the course of the negociations
pending between the two Powers, is and mast re-
main interrupted and broken off till the Govern-
ment of the United States has marked the con-
duct of General Jackson in a manner suitable to
its honour, and which, it seems, can be no other
than to disapprove of the excesses committed ; to
give orders to place things on the same footing
as they were hi before the invasion, and to inflict
an appropriate punishment on the author of so
many disorders.'
" It is extremely disagreeable to his Majesty to
be compelled to this declaration, which is inure a
necessary consequence of the nature of the allair,
than an act of his Royal will, whose wishes and
endeavours have always been directed to making
an equitable arrangement of the matters in debate
between the two Governments ; but the whole
impartial world will equally recognize, in the
present state of thiligs, the impropriety that must
ensue, it ocgociations, which suppose a state of
perfect Political friendship, were to be continued,
at a time when such great insults have been of-
feted, •without provocation. The occupation of
the larger and better part of Florida, in 1810, by
the United Stales, who deprived his Majesty,
during his captivity, of a country ot which he was
in peaceable possessioo, Wider pretences, which,
if they had been even well founded, ought never
to have been enforcid by violence—and the late
improper attack on Amelia Island—were facts of
the Same nature and tendency, equally unjust in
their principle, and equally protested against on
the part Of Spain ; but as they were less offensive
in their 'ls it'd, and tinder the circumstances,his
jesty believed at the same time tharhe gave proofs
of his moderation; that he mir,ht wait for sails-

" In making to your Excellency this communi-
cation, I cannot omit to state to you how painful
it hAs bee!: to me that. this expected obstacle
411(u:id o,:cui just at the time when I flattered my-
self with the hope of seeing the political relations
and the most perfect harmony. between the two
Governments re-established upon solid and dura-
ble foundaTions. I renew to your the
assurance of my disliuga:isbcd rrsprct., and pray
to God to preset ye your Excellency many years.
