AMERICAN PAPERS.

NEW ORLEANS, MAY I?.

It appears by letters from Fort Stoddert, by last
ro.ril, that the negotiation between General Mat-
thews and Colonel M'Kee, on the part of the United
States, and Governor Folch on the part of Spain,
bad broken up without coming to any termination.
General Matthews has returned to St. Mary's, Geor-
gia; Colonel M.Ke.r remains at Fort Stoddert, and
the Spaniards remain in quiet possession of Mobile.
It was reported at Pensacola as late as the 15th
Instant, that Governor Folch is promoted from Co-
lonel to Brigadier-General, and ordered to Vera Cruz
to take command of his corps.
Money had been received at Pensacola from Vera
Cruz, to pay the troops, and all debts against the
Government of Spain, with positive orders to put
that place and Mobile in the best possible state of de-
fence. As soon as the insurgents were quelled in dif- j
ferent provinces of Mexico, the garrisons of West Flo-
rida would be reinforced.
We make no comment on this information, but
only say, that we believe it to be correct, particularly
as to the receipt of the money, and the preparations
for defence.
Istearssar ENT.—The friends of Mr. Gideon Caprian
who was not long since impressed on board his Ma-
jesty's ship Guerrier, have favoured us with a sight of
the copy of a letter from Colonel Barclay, addressed
to Admiral Sawyer, and a copy of the Admiral's an-
swer; the latter of which they have obligingly per-
mitted us to transcribe, and to present to the Ame-
rican public, for the purpose of placing in a true and
fair light the manner in which such impressments are
regarded by the-proper authority :
" Halifat, 25th June, 1811.

46 had the honour to receive your letter, dated the 20th
wk. relative to the persons named in the margin, [John Digio,
Gideon Caprian, Josh. Leeds] en my arrival at Halna; the 19th
b:st. which had been previously opened by Capt. Pechell, of his
Majesty's ship Guerrier, the eenior officer, who immediately
discharged John Digio, in compliance with your request*. He
would have given up Gideon Caprian also, bad he not entered
into his Msijetty'a service, and wished to remain ; for which cir-
cumstance he conceived it to be his duty to detain him for any
dttision respecting him. But having received your letter express
sing hie father's request to have him sent home, I have now sent
bins to New-York by the Prince Ernest packet ; and will order
the discharge of Josh. Leeds, on the arrival of his Majesty's ship
Eurydice, If he is (as I suppose) on board her.
" I assure you, Sir, I shall be happy to receive any represen-
tations you may be pleased to make to use, with all the deference
to which they will be entitled ; as I perfectly coincide with you,
that when American citizens are impressed by mistake, or other-
wise, they should be immediately released.
" I have the hon Our to be, Sir,
your most obedient humble Servant,
Thos. Barclay, Esq. " H. SAWICZ*, Rear Admiral."
• I mint here, in justice to Capt. Pechell, of his Majesty's ship
Guerner, assure you, that he never was, by leagues, so near the
American coast as has been represented.
PROVIDENCE, (R. L.) JUNII 26.

Arrived at this port, on Sunday last, the brig
Franklin, Capt. Hyatt, in 46 days trom Bourdeaux,
with a cargo of wines, &c. The Franklin is a foreign
built vessel, and is said to have been purchased by a
Mr. Ellery, of Boston, who has resided some time in
France. By our present laws, this vessel is permit•
ted to enter and unload, when those which were
launched from our own ground are seized and
confiscated merely for coming from a British part.
The purchase of this vessel and a licence to load her
in a French port, instead of being reprobated as a pay-
ment of tribute to a foreign power, is on the contrary
deemed meritorious. •.
